Will probably ping on.. Monday 19:13:28 <sgallagh> ack 19:13:48 <randomuser> I had some cloud questions that roshi was able to answer this morning 19:14:07 <roshi> and I can answer more should they come up 19:14:30 <randomuser> and Workstation... stickster, maybe you can help me figure out what's new there besides the obvious work on gnome 3.16 19:14:52 <stickster> randomuser: sure, hit me up directly after thsi 19:14:54 <stickster> *this, even. 19:15:03 <randomuser> great, thanks 19:15:40 <jreznik> this is the way I really like it, anything else randomuser? 19:15:40 <randomuser> in general, those following the DNF replacement saga could provide feedback on what I've written about it 19:15:47 <randomuser> almost done 19:16:22 <randomuser> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Server_Configuration_Tools_Beat#yum_replaced_by_dnf ( plus a paragraph in git about yum-deprecated) 19:16:23 <jreznik> #info dnf release notes review/feedback requested by documentation team 19:16:34 <jreznik> sorry for interrupting you :) 19:16:42 <randomuser> a lot of concerns about dnf, we want to answer all questions we can 19:16:54 <randomuser> core guides should be updated between beta and final 19:17:11 <randomuser> with maybe some bonus guides to help new users, we'll see 19:17:55 <randomuser> that's all from me; please communicate if you want something documented 19:18:13 <jreznik> #info core guides should be updated between beta and final 19:18:53 <jreznik> #info communicate to documentation if anybody wants something documented 19:19:44 <jreznik> randomuser: is it all from docs? 19:19:50 <adamw> are we writing anything about the changes to the way products/flavors are implemented? 19:20:04 * stickster wields a bit of editing pen... 19:20:14 <randomuser> adamw, I'm not sure what that means 19:20:19 <jreznik> it would be nice to document it (if it is not) 19:20:21 <randomuser> stickster, in git! 19:20:49 <adamw> mattdm/sgallagh rejigged the fedora-release-foo and config subpackges and stuff somehow 19:20:50 <stickster> randomuser: I'm on the wiki now, is that not the right place? 19:21:33 <sgallagh> Hopefully that information is only interesting to packagers 19:21:44 <randomuser> stickster, it depends on the page, probably; we're right in the middle of migrating. I linked to the wiki so everyone doesn't have to read raw docbook today, but the dnf stuff for example is committed 19:21:45 <sgallagh> There should be little impact to end-users 19:22:00 <stickster> randomuser: I'm on https://fedoraproject.org/wikiDocumentation_Server_Configuration_Tools_Beat 19:22:16 <randomuser> i'll add a short paragraph; impact or no, it is an integral part of the machine 19:22:16 <sgallagh> (or rather, the impact that F21 had should no longer be there) 19:22:39 <randomuser> stickster, ok, I can check that for changes if you prefer to edit there 19:22:49 <stickster> randomuser: Whichever is easiest for you I can do 19:22:57 <randomuser> git is better, please 19:23:05 <stickster> randomuser: OK, point me to the repo and I'll do that 19:23:16 * stickster lets folks get on with it here ;-) 19:23:22 <randomuser> ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/release-notes.git 19:24:19 <randomuser> #action randomuser to document fedora-release package situation 19:24:23 <randomuser> eof 19:24:33 <jreznik> thanks a lot randomuser! 19:24:42 <jreznik> #topic Fedora Engineering Manager 19:24:50 <jreznik> stickster: anything from you? 19:25:01 <stickster> nope :-) 19:25:12 <jreznik> ok, moving on 19:25:16 <jreznik> #topic FESCo 19:25:29 <nirik> nothing in particular from fesco 19:25:29 <jreznik> nirik, sgallagh: anything from fesco for Beta? 19:25:41 <nirik> There was a blocker for anaconda passwords, but it's landed and in rc1 19:26:06 <jreznik> #info nothing particular from FESCo, FESCo blocker for Anaconda passwords resolved in RC1 19:26:32 <sgallagh> There was some ambiguity about release-blocking media 19:26:48 <sgallagh> We probably need to clarify a process for controlling that 19:27:07 <jreznik> indeed 19:27:29 <nirik> sgallagh: good idea yeah. 19:27:40 <jreznik> can anyone file FESCo ticket for it? I can but tomorrow 19:28:08 <nirik> well, I think basically we need a wiki page with a policy and then note it to everyone. 19:28:18 <jreznik> #info there was some ambiguity about release-blocking media, we should clarify 19:28:18 <roshi> it was on my list of things to do after the cloud discussion 19:28:33 <randomuser> I'm not sure removing a 'release-blocking' sticker from a given deliverable and shipping it with flaws is a great approach... but, this isnt' the place to dive into that 19:28:56 <nirik> randomuser: it's not about that really. 19:29:11 <sgallagh> randomuser: It's about describing exactly when in the process we decide what is release-blocking. 19:29:16 <nirik> it's about: "here are the exact things that are release blocking:" "here is how you add to or remove from this list" 19:29:17 <jreznik> randomuser:the plan was to review here what to do in case it's not blocking but broken but as we're slipping 19:29:19 <sgallagh> I think that has to happen prior to Alpha Freeze, personally 19:29:27 <nirik> sgallagh: +1 19:29:29 <roshi> +1 to that 19:29:30 <sgallagh> And what nirik said as well 19:29:33 <jreznik> sgallagh: or better long time ago 19:29:44 <nirik> it's all kind of just assumed from the past. 19:29:46 <randomuser> ack 19:30:09 <jreznik> nirik: well, we know old stuff, atomic is new... 19:30:21 <sgallagh> jreznik: Strictly speaking, all of the Edition stuff is new too 19:30:22 <nirik> right, but also "atomic" isn't detailed enough. ;) 19:30:30 <sgallagh> It just kind of happened last cycle 19:30:58 <adamw> nirik: we have made explicit decisions before and written them into the criteria, but it's always been a as-it-comes-up sort of thing. 19:31:06 <jreznik> sgallagh: but we somehow sorted it last cycle but makes sense to go through it and maybe it can be part of the process to review for each upcoming release 19:31:16 <nirik> sure, it would be nice to have a exact list. 19:31:27 <randomuser> is there a documented process for something to become a product/flavor/edition yet? 19:31:28 <adamw> the current wording is "The term release-blocking images means all the images in which bugs are currently considered capable of blocking a Fedora release. The current set of release-blocking images includes the images defined by the three primary Products - Server, Workstation and Cloud - in their product requirement documents and/or technical specifications, and the KDE live image. " 19:31:44 <randomuser> it would be easy to say "all approved editions are release blocking" 19:32:09 <nirik> but in that case cloud is a bit wishy washy. 19:32:10 <sgallagh> Unfortunately, the Cloud PRD has aged out and may no longer be accurate 19:32:16 <sgallagh> That will have to be revised for F23 19:33:08 <nirik> I'm fine with them defining that, but I think there should be a central list and only action adds to it. 19:33:15 <jreznik> it's out of scope here but let's make sure it's going to happen 19:33:22 <nirik> yeah, off trac 19:33:27 <sgallagh> agreed (both nirik and jreznik) 19:33:28 <jreznik> nirik: I agree 19:33:58 <jreznik> so in the end it makes sense to track it as FESCo ticket? to make sure it happens 19:34:04 <sgallagh> yes 19:34:38 <nirik> sure 19:34:39 <jreznik> if nobody does it by tomorrow, I'll do it... 19:34:54 <sgallagh> thanks 19:35:07 <jreznik> not sure I still have mental capacity for all stuff tonight (with schedule updates ;-) 19:35:11 <jreznik> moving on 19:35:24 <jreznik> #topic Marketing 19:35:30 <jreznik> jzb: still around? 19:35:56 <jzb> yep 19:36:22 <jzb> we have the beta announcement in a mostly complete state 19:36:32 <jzb> it'll be ready for the beta 19:36:42 <jreznik> #info the beta announcement in a mostly complete state, it will be ready for the beta 19:36:56 <jzb> IIRC we also have something around bookmarks, and I'm not entirely sure that's complete 19:37:11 <sgallagh> bookmarks? 19:37:38 <jzb> sgallagh: I think marketing is supposed to review the default FF bookmarks each release 19:37:48 <sgallagh> ah 19:37:49 <jzb> and if I'm not mistaken, beta is the target date for that. 19:37:55 <stickster> argh 19:37:59 <jzb> I'm unlear that has happened. 19:38:04 <jreznik> yep, to make sure it's not out of date but I think it's for final 19:38:14 <jreznik> not sure right now, I'll check it up 19:38:15 <randomuser> any other marketing stratagems, jzb ? social media campaigns, targeted ads of some sort, swag, coordination with ambassadors or regional activists? 19:38:55 <jzb> randomuser: for beta? No. And we don't have a targeted ad budget that I'm aware of ;-) 19:39:07 <stickster> jzb: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/fedora-bookmarks.git/tree/default-bookmarks.html 19:39:23 <randomuser> heh.
