if so, Welcome! 01:39:07 or maybe I've scared them all away :D 01:39:36 so 01:39:37 on wikis 01:39:42 if you don't know how to edit them 01:39:48 a good way to learn is to edit existing wikis 01:39:56 make your changes and click show preview 01:40:07 Event pages: you should make one when you are going to an event, going to represent Fedora in some way, and think it will be interesting to the fedora community 01:40:08 to create a wiki page just go to the URL where it would exist and create it. 01:40:37 So if I do an installfest with my local lug? 01:40:50 farmerrob: yes 01:40:58 #info http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting 01:41:31 ^^ that will be useful ^^ 01:41:33 regarding URL names, check out: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_structure 01:41:45 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_structure 01:41:57 +1 01:42:06 I tend to like to put the year in the URL since so many of these events repeat 01:42:20 ex: Ohio_LinuxFest_2012 01:42:31 don't blend the words together, use underscores 01:42:46 next up: the template 01:43:43 As dan408- said, once you've created the url, click edit and then paste this template into the text box 01:43:45 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/Template 01:44:10 the template will give you all the preformatted headings 01:44:18 +2 01:44:21 however, feel free to rearrange the heading order 01:44:32 delete headings that don't apply to your event, etc 01:44:59 then, you just fill in the info about your event under the headings 01:45:41 for additional syntax and tags check out: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting 01:45:47 #link http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting 01:46:02 thanks for the link masta :D 01:46:30 sure 01:47:03 when you're done setting up the page make sure to add a link to it on the main events page 01:47:41 announce the event page on the ambassadors list 01:48:01 set up a trac ticket for it if you want to have the event discussed in this meeting 01:48:43 So does anyone have any questions about wiki page set up, the template, specific info in an event page? 01:49:36 * graphite6 thinks she's killed them all with wiki stuff :D 01:49:42 So even for small event we should do ? 01:50:22 I think so, most jug/lug/jbug meetups I go to rarely have more than 15-25 people 01:50:28 if small equals your roommates in your kitchen on friday night, no, but for lugs, definitely 01:50:37 cool 01:50:51 unless you have a loooooot of roommates :D 01:51:09 the event page gives you a place to coordinate with others in you're area, drum up interest, and link to your event reports 01:51:18 I am working on an install fest I will do a ticket :-) 01:51:32 and you know inode0 loves event reports 01:51:38 :) 01:52:07 any other event page curiosity? 01:52:11 confusion? 01:52:54 btw the fast a dirty way I do an event page is just copy someone elses (who's already done all the table syntax work) :D 01:53:12 okay time for open floor 01:53:12 hmmm good idea 01:53:15 +1 01:53:20 good idea 01:53:26 #topic Open Floor 01:53:39 * masta copied OLF page 01:53:39 let's talk brochures! 01:53:50 go for it suehle 01:53:56 i'm pro-brochure 01:53:59 hey suehle, have your links ready when you want to talk about something 01:54:11 suehle: what do you have in mind? 01:54:44 are there any previous brochures we can look at? 01:54:48 We were discussing in the newly restarted marketing meetings this week (yay!) having a brochure that's more... basic entry friendly? Not sure the best way to describe. So... 01:55:26 Spot and I are going to Maker Faire NY with a raspi running Fedora. I've done one Mini MF before, and people need Little Words. Throwing around "this is open source linux fedora yaaaaay" means nothing. 01:55:30 So that's the context. 01:55:41 here's some copy I've been working on http://rsuehle.fedorapeople.org/fedorabrochure.txt 01:56:00 #info Fedora marketing meetings have reignited #fedora-meeting Thursdays @3pm Eastern 01:56:11 which I think would neatly tie with the insides of this one http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/brochure/Fedora-Brochure.pdf 01:56:56 pretty 01:57:09 #link http://rsuehle.fedorapeople.org/fedorabrochure.txt 01:57:17 suehle: got inkscape? 01:57:20 masta yes 01:57:25 #link http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/brochure/Fedora-Brochure.pdf 01:58:23 right on 01:58:29 +1 01:59:12 so the new brochure is trifold, there are plenty of inscape templates 01:59:47 suehle: the text youhave looks to be a great start, look forward to see how it evolves 02:01:31 hey I was wondering if there are any fedora playing cards.... a deck of cards with the fedora logo on the reverse? 02:01:44 masta: There are about 150 decks leftover from OSCON 02:01:55 I believe the plan was to take most of them to FUDCon Paris, but I'm not sure. 02:01:57 cool 02:02:05 rbergeron may also have taken some to Venezuela 02:02:20 * dan408- has a deck 02:02:23 unopened 02:02:28 but it's mine ;) 02:02:42 were can you get some? 02:02:48 i dont know. 02:03:02 MarkDude gave me one for speaking at SVLUG 02:03:02 ok so what about Fedora temporary tattoos? At Red Hat summit we got some of those at the RCP meetup.... neat swag idea I thought 02:03:51 aka shadow-man temp tattoo's 02:03:51 the neatest swag ideas IMHO are: tshirts, stickers, dvds, liveusbs, and yeah tshirts 02:04:23 tshirts are walking billoards 02:04:23 I'll end this meeting in about 2 minutes, then we can take any cont. discussions to the ambassador channel 02:04:29 thats why im such a fan of them 02:04:46 Thay are cool 02:05:01 * graphite6 <3 T-shirts and stickers 02:05:10 yee 02:05:44 5 02:05:47 4 02:05:53 3 02:05:59 2 02:06:02 1 02:06:05 graphite6, thnak you for chairing. 02:06:05 +1 02:06:08 +1 02:06:13 s/na/an 02:06:15 thanks for coming out tonight everyone! 02:06:17 graphite - thanks 02:06:19 thank you graphite6 02:06:22 thanks 02:06:23 Ty 02:06:26 :D 02:06:33 make sure to ask inode about what he did with Dylan tonight :D 02:06:42 +1 02:06:44 oh boy 02:06:46 lol 02:06:51 #endmeeting
