14:19:25 i think it would be a good idea 14:19:27 * jsmith has no strong feelings either way 14:19:32 I vote for a +1 week 14:19:40 tbh I work better on git 14:19:49 linux-modder, with docbook? 14:19:49 I am not familler with the workflow if we did it in git 14:19:54 +1 for extending a week 14:19:55 if we can afford +1 week Im +2 on that idea 14:20:06 or git clients yes randomuser` 14:20:26 +1 extension 14:20:28 I'm +1 for the extra week either way tho 14:20:43 those are different things, linux-modder, but we can get into it oob 14:20:48 not everyone is a git user / guru and vice verse 14:21:17 everyone that has commit access to this repo has sufficient skills to use it 14:21:29 anyway, I think we're all on the same page 14:21:35 the less churn we have in docbook the better 14:21:45 #info wiki freeze extended by +1 week 14:22:04 #action randomuser to send mail to general audience warning of relnotes wiki freeze 14:22:16 if we can get lnovich and Americas office hours to work on beats this week we can start git conversion next week 14:22:41 * lnovich will do a beats bash party 14:22:56 I didn't get into more after thursday's session - zoglesby, do you have a feel for % completion of Change coverage? 14:23:55 randomuser`: maybe 50% 14:24:02 or better yet, a link to the piratepad we started, I don't have it on this machine 14:24:03 or a little less 14:24:39 #link http://piratepad.net/nIJTKEmI5c 14:24:57 #info working metadoc on piratepad 14:25:45 I'm not sure what else to say, other than please help 14:25:50 anyone else? 14:26:08 not sure how to read that pirapad thing 14:26:10 please help anyone! 14:26:23 I am nervous clicking a url from a domain with the word pirate 14:26:48 (I know I sound like I am being silly or sarcastic, but I really am a little nervous about that) 14:26:51 for example, i did the draft for SSL 3 and RC4 14:26:59 smccann, we write about something and put a note into the pad so you don't start writing about it too, instead of something that has already been written 14:27:08 it shows up on the piratepad list... so is that a list of what is done? 14:27:36 * randomuser` makes an explanitory note in the pad 14:27:36 smccann: yeah, I read it may have changed it and said it was good for first draft 14:27:38 grundblom, it's fine 14:27:49 ok kewl, thanks 14:27:55 I am that way for many urls (outside of mtgs) 14:28:05 so if I write something, i take ownership of the bug AND update piratepad? 14:28:38 it was helpful imo when zoglesby and I were both working on beats at the same time 14:28:49 smccann, more or less (or add thyself to the present writing with the original owner and you both do ) 14:29:09 gracias 14:29:19 so everyone knows what is what and where to ask for clearification from authors 14:29:43 Wait, I thought the beat assignment page is how we were doing this, or is this replacing the beat assignment page? 14:29:46 often also cuts back the duplicity of edits 14:30:06 grundblom, the beats are big categories, and we all need to work on all beats at this point 14:30:19 grundblom: we are just trying to get stuff written at this point 14:30:32 ok 14:30:36 I get it 14:30:38 piratepad is like the roll-call for who is where and what is done 14:30:42 the beats page is only helpful until we are at freeze and need to write everything 14:31:28 * linux-modder brb 14:32:27 we're all clear on release notes needs now? 14:32:33 yep 14:32:55 #topic Publishing 14:33:44 I spend a little time on containerizing buildbot to make development onboarding easier, and wound up spending more time on learning containerizing than the actual project :/ 14:34:30 so no real news at this point. shaunm offered to help with things, I'll have to circle back to him 14:34:47 any questions before I move on? 14:35:18 just an offer to help more 14:35:31 sold! 14:36:50 #topic Guide Status 14:37:22 we had some feedback about firewalld documentation - thanks bexelbie for carrying that to the list 14:37:45 It also talked about accessing docs in general .. something we all know about 14:38:09 * randomuser` nods 14:38:28 we *do* have a firewall guide, though 14:38:59 so if someone has cycles to look it over, check in with sclark on goals, and push to a publishable state, that would be great 14:39:04 I read it more as an conversatoin about getting to the docs to make changes, and accessing the group 14:39:11 as well as when we don't republish a book for a new version 14:40:05 that too 14:40:34 we could start including source links in the front pages 14:41:13 personally, I'm not enthusastic about improving the publican template and site branding at this point 14:41:36 I think we can find an easier way 14:42:47 #action everyone to consider ian's mail 14:43:10 but really, I brought this up under guides because we probably have a guide that's very close to being ready to publish 14:43:32 perhaps we can rope Capesteve into looking it over 14:44:17 any other guide news? 14:44:57 Okay, carrying on then 14:45:08 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:45:14 #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:45:20 we have bugs! 14:45:44 a spree of new ones lately, even; remember that responding to bugs is an important part of a healthy feedback loop 14:46:08 randomuser I suggest we have a bug smash session for office hours next week 14:46:42 I think release notes are more pressing at this time, but bug smashing sessions should become a regular thing 14:47:55 I would be willing to add an additional meeting per week if enough can attend it 14:48:23 that's one person, at least :) 14:48:27 poll the list? 14:48:31 ok 14:49:16 I am also going to be working adapting a script that mhayden wrote for security to email bug info to the list 14:49:21 #action lnovich to poll mailing list on best time for a new, regular bug smashing session 14:49:32 /back 14:49:34 mhayden++ 14:49:59 +1 bug and wiki work 14:52:21 #topic Open Floor 14:52:29 time for all those questions you 14:52:49 .. you've been holding back 14:53:51 I am trying to figure out how far of detail I should go into with the perl 5.22 in the release notes 14:53:55 there is a lot of stuff there 14:54:09 and I was thinking of only highlighting 4 or so things 14:54:14 sound good? 14:54:21 grundblom, hm.. if you aren't going into usage, highlight and link upstream 14:54:45 Gotcha! 14:57:14 crickets... shall we close? 14:57:28 endit! 14:57:36 #ENDMEETING
