Beta release is currently scheduled for May 3, so we'll need to worry about release notes a few weeks before, but that's 3 months from now anyway 14:18:44 <randomuser> we have new folks! 14:18:51 <pbokoc> wooooo 14:19:49 <randomuser> any questions from new folks? 14:19:53 <kirsti> though I am not new, I might be wanting a new mentor... 14:20:20 <pbokoc> (that means now's your time to speak up, cspicer & msvistun - especially if you want help signing up for FAS or something like that) 14:20:26 <cspicer1> :) <-- new folk 14:20:51 <msvistun> randomuser: I am one of the new folks! Could you please give me the necessary rights to work with Fedora docs repos? To boost my credibility, I write the docs for RHEL. 14:21:09 <msvistun> pbokoc: y thx for the guidance :) 14:21:20 <randomuser> sorry, I forget vim keybindings don't work in IRC sometimes... 14:21:45 <randomuser> msvistun, cspicer1, yes, I can help get you the right permissions 14:22:00 <randomuser> do you have FAS accounts yet? 14:22:07 <cspicer1> well i suppose my question would be: how can we find out what needs doing, and what do we need to do to get it done 14:22:58 <cspicer1> yep I've got one 14:23:26 <randomuser> for the most part, you take up work on your own cognizance; we would need a larger group with more engagement to have a steady supply of work waiting 14:24:04 * jsmith shows up late... sorry 14:24:19 <randomuser> otherwise, we have a product in rhbz with bugs filed 14:24:21 <Capesteve> cspicer1: One tip that jhradilek always mentions, when contacting developers, is to get into the habit of asking developers if a change applies to Fedora XX as well as RHEL YY 14:24:54 <pbokoc> you could, for example, fix the checksum verification procedure for Windows in the Install Guide O:) 14:25:03 <msvistun> randomuser: is FAS account this? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/msvistunov 14:25:07 <cspicer1> lol 14:25:34 <randomuser> heh 14:25:49 <randomuser> I intend to take care of that, cspicer1. It's my mess, I should clean it up. 14:26:00 <randomuser> msvistun, yeah, that's the one 14:26:23 <cspicer1> do you happen to have a link to the product on rhbz? 14:26:51 <randomuser> yeah, we'll go over it later but the link is in the meeting agenda 14:26:57 <pbokoc> kirsti, as for mentoring I have no idea... I don't really have much spare time. You could always just mail the list with any questions, or ask in #fedora-docs 14:27:11 * jflory7 is switching between windows, but doesn't want to forget and has a topic for discussion once open floor rolls around. 14:27:16 <pbokoc> at least for now 14:28:04 <kirsti> pbokoc, ok, will keep an eye out, and ask 14:28:06 <randomuser> I'll assume you folks are familiar with a git based collaborative workflow and set up your memberships because pbokoc said so 14:28:08 <randomuser> :) 14:28:46 <randomuser> but please, if you're working on something, commit at the end of the session instead of the end of the quarter, or you risk community folks doing a ton of redundant work 14:29:21 <cspicer1> sure 14:29:40 <randomuser> are you dcspicer, cspicer1 14:29:41 <randomuser> ? 14:29:55 <cspicer1> no.. on FAS? i'll find a link 14:30:13 <randomuser> ok, let me know 14:30:35 <randomuser> pbokoc and jhradilek can do this too, if we need to take care of it later 14:30:35 <cspicer1> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/cspicer 14:31:02 <randomuser> cool 14:31:11 <randomuser> #topic Guide Status 14:31:30 <randomuser> well, hm... 14:31:41 * jhradilek has a question. 14:31:47 <randomuser> #action randomuser to remove powershell fail from IG 14:32:19 <randomuser> unless you're really attached to it, cspicer1, that's been a pile of fail since I first contrived it 14:32:31 <randomuser> jhradilek, go! 14:33:08 <jhradilek> randomuser: What do we do with bugs that belong to a writer who is no longer part of the Fedora Documentation Project? 14:33:30 <randomuser> reassign them 14:33:47 <cspicer1> certainly not really attached to powershell :) 14:34:12 <randomuser> if there's a new maintainer, they go there; if not, we should discuss the guide's future 14:34:45 <jhradilek> To whom? 14:35:07 <randomuser> to the loudest volunteer? 14:35:22 <jhradilek> Laura Novich's Bugzilla account has been disabled earlier last month and since I was her manager, her bugs are now assigned to me. 14:35:29 <jhradilek> And I don't want them. :)) 14:35:29 * randomuser nods 14:35:52 <randomuser> heh, ok. These are for the virt guides? I think we should consider retiring them 14:36:09 <randomuser> the getting started guide is good, the rest wasn't ever really targeted for Fedora comfortably 14:36:49 <msvistun> randomuser: I seem to have been added to this Contributor Group, but not approved. Something I should do? 14:37:13 <msvistun> randomuser: to this https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/docs?_csrf_token=44a01824f287212b07554e9654b1480eb15224ad 14:37:14 <randomuser> msvistun, I'm just preoccupied because it's monday morning 14:37:24 <msvistun> randomuser: sure, no pressure 14:37:40 <randomuser> msvistun, what will you write, btw? 14:38:18 <randomuser> jhradilek, do you know about owners.git to reset the default assignee for a fedora docs book? 14:38:46 <jhradilek> randomuser: Yup. You will see my name on some of the commits. :) 14:39:11 <randomuser> cool 14:39:16 <msvistun> randomuser: the prime motivation was to be able to submit random fixes. I discover them when I read the Fedora docs. Otherwise, I am not sure what I will write. But if you mean in terms of 'which guide', then it's the SysAdmin guide. 14:41:54 <randomuser> ok, I see. I just assumed you had a specific thing, it's not required or even really expected. 14:44:10 <randomuser> well this topic has gone quiet.. let's move on 14:44:18 <randomuser> #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:44:23 <randomuser> #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:44:56 <msvistun> randomuser: for the time being, I intend to send patch proposals to the respective guide owners. pkovar recommended this approach. I expect I will be communicating with StephenW the most, as he owns the SysAdmin guide. 14:46:06 <randomuser> good call, he is a cheerful and wise correspondent 14:46:45 <Capesteve> msvistun: we could also just meet over coffee to go through changes, might be quicker then making, sending, and applying patches 14:46:50 <randomuser> so, there's the bugs. Communicate if you need help. 14:47:30 <cspicer1> thanks, will take a look 14:48:04 <randomuser> #topic Open Floor 14:48:44 <kirsti> not sure if I even dare ask.... 14:49:02 <kirsti> Do we still have a conversation going about personas? 14:49:07 <randomuser> we're plowing through the meeting time and I get the sense that we're not covering everything we should for the new folks, but it does sound like our veterans in Brno are taking good care of them. 14:50:00 <randomuser> I've been tabling the personas thing; I don't want the idea to die, but it's not currently relevant. 14:50:08 <randomuser> jflory7, open floor? 14:50:18 <jflory7> Yes! 14:50:40 <kirsti> randomuser, I have been adding to the idea in the virtual getting started page though 14:50:41 <Capesteve> kirsti: I thought that was a bit complicated, can we not just agree on target audience? 14:51:04 <kirsti> Capesteve, that works yes 14:51:13 <pbokoc> I thought the point of developing personas was to agree on a target audience :) 14:51:13 <jflory7> I wanted to ask the Docs team about something CommOps has been working on with other groups in the Project. We're helping sub-projects put together a 2015 "Year in Review" article that explain some of the highlights of 2015 and goal(s) of 2016. 14:51:17 <jflory7> See announcement: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/share-your-year-in-review-with-fedora/ 14:51:24 <jflory7> See examples: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/tag/year-in-review-2015/ 14:51:38 <randomuser> ugh 14:51:40 <pbokoc> oh jeez 14:52:32 <randomuser> I don't really want to touch that, but I get the sense that someone's going to have to 14:52:37 <jflory7> The writing part shouldn't be that difficult -- they can be as a short or as long as the group wants. There's a few easy templates on the first link that should make it more along the lines of filling in the blank. 14:53:37 <randomuser> what's the publishing schedule like, jflory7 ? 14:53:41 <jflory7> We want to help make it as easy and straightforward for you guys as possible. :) 14:53:48 <randomuser> what's the deadline for our bit? 14:54:02 <jflory7> randomuser: It's flexible, so there is not a specific due date. By the absolute latest, maybe by the end of month, but sooner, the better. 14:54:17 <randomuser> ok. bexelbie will write something up 14:54:44 <jflory7> Sounds great -- feel free to ping me or ask in #fedora-commops if you have any other questions! 14:54:51 * jflory7 has to check out 14:54:52 <randomuser> will do. 14:54:55 <jflory7> Thanks guys! 14:55:04 * randomuser elbow jabs bexelbie 14:55:15 <randomuser> hehe, you're stuck with it now ! 14:55:32 <pbokoc> haha 14:56:47 <randomuser> cspicer1, msvistun, you've found #fedora-docs and our list, right? 14:57:08 <cspicer1> yep - still need to write an introduction mail on the list 14:57:10 <randomuser> and is there anything else? 14:58:27 <randomuser> okay, we'll call it a day then, see you around 14:58:30 <randomuser> #endmeeting
