But then I deleted the new gear, as we were discussing about a new theme 20:07:04 well, the main things we need are 1) ability to publish content, and 2) calendar 20:07:14 mitzie: ? 20:07:17 roshi: I agree add sit functionality but also keep plugin count low 20:07:18 is WP the minimum? or could we do something simple with flask/sinatra/django 20:07:19 I thought we enabled stats?I don't see them on the dashbaord. 20:07:27 mitzie: you were able to get a medium gear going? 20:07:34 sit was meant to be basic* 20:07:48 stats crashed things AIUI 20:08:21 yes, upgraded to medium gear, but it was after discussing about the new theme. ANyway I could do it again, and get the med. gear while we decide about the new theme 20:08:36 mitzie: yeah... in the interim, we need that regardless. 20:08:44 But it would also require infra to point the domain to the new site 20:08:53 suehle: we did have a plugin that tatica found for our stats, but one of the weekends the site crashed and it had to be disabled to get the site fixed. 20:08:59 Ok, I can start it now 20:09:06 I was able to fix the site thought :) 20:09:09 though* 20:09:20 doesn't the openshift instance give some indication as to b/w usage? 20:09:28 * roshi isn't familiar, though it's on his list... 20:09:37 roshi: I don't *think* so , but I don't know. 20:09:48 roshi: /me checks 20:10:02 I know they don't care about bandwidth - but wasn't sure if they would monitor it 20:10:06 seems like a basic metric 20:10:18 i dont see a spot for it 20:10:22 we could spin up a Piwik instance in another gear and use that for stats, if we needed. 20:10:28 So jzb about the question you said earlier, could you bring up some examples of plugins not working with wordpress? I think if we update the wordpress site a few weeks after the update comes out, the new versions of the plugins we a re using will be out as well and we will be ok updating 20:10:34 +1 jzb 20:10:55 well, I feel like we should have a test-suite for the magazine 20:10:55 mitzie: we shouldn't wait weeks to update WP, though. Usually new releases have security updates. 20:11:02 jzb, you mean in another cartidge? 20:11:11 then we can test updates to plugins, maybe contribute upstream 20:11:16 mitzie: whatever the proper metaphor is :-) 20:11:36 anyone here familiar with selenium tests? 20:11:40 roshi +1 with openshift we can accomplish this since we have GIT access 20:11:49 roshi: do we have bandwidth (people) for that? 20:11:55 true, but while updating, I never met any problems with the plugins 20:12:16 I'm fine for writing some basic tests - but it would take time for a full suite for testing WP 20:12:18 roshi: I'd love to, and I can get to that if we can create a 28-hour day. 20:12:20 as we use a few of them that are working good. And btw we ould use even less in the new site 20:12:38 but something so that we can at least tell if something will break 20:13:22 we could create a msql replication between our site and a new test site spun up on another gear 20:13:35 so that way data can be passed and be in sync so we can test 20:13:41 mysql 20:13:44 makes sense 20:14:17 if we're going to continue doing WP, we really ought to set it up so we have two gears / whatever running with load-balancing between them. 20:14:37 at the minimum - I would say with a test instance as well 20:14:42 yeah jzb, while migrating I added 2 medium gears 20:14:44 jzb: that can we setup :) 20:15:00 I'm still pretty sure that the site will fall right over the first time we actually hit Hacker News or something, even with a medium gear. 20:15:19 with scalabilty we could try a large gear 20:15:21 and if we complete the migration and delete the current small gear we have for the magazine, wecould have 3 medium gears for the new mag gear 20:15:33 croberts: we don't have a large gear :-) 20:16:11 jzb: well for now we could setup a medium gear with scalabilty if we needed a large gear we would little downtime 20:16:44 croberts: OK, well I will leave that to you + mitzie 20:16:53 so then the question becomes one of adjusting the theme 20:17:00 so, as it stands we want to spin up another gear (at least) 20:17:22 roshi: yes for testing/upstream purposes 20:17:25 jzb about the hacker news, I think 3 gears are perfect to handle traffic 20:17:36 *3 medium gears 20:17:43 mitzie: you haven't seen a Hacker News flood ;-) 20:17:47 :P 20:18:03 ok... :S 20:18:28 mitzie: IIRC something like 10K page views an hour 20:18:32 back when I was doing RWW. 20:18:58 :S 20:19:00 sheesh 20:19:17 and I will be a sad panda if we don't hit that occasionally in 2014 20:19:34 yeah 20:19:40 roshi, I could start a wordpress site in our openshift account so we could start testing themes I guess 20:19:52 that could work mitzie 20:20:10 jzb: I am def hoping we hit that in 2014 20:20:14 I'll see what kind of time I can devote to magazine stuff 20:20:17 we have come along way with the magazine 20:20:35 croberts, true since August 20:21:27 But making a new wordpress site for testing purposes, we will have to delay the migration, as there will be no gears left 20:22:02 suehle: is it possible to get funding for an upgrade in openshift to a large gear? 20:22:49 croberts: we don't pay for it, per se. 20:22:57 true 20:23:04 croberts: I can request additional gears, if we really need them. 20:24:10 We could request to have 5-6 total gears, instead of 3 that we have now.. But I think for the time being we a re covered 20:24:14 croberts? 20:25:12 i think we should get the test site setup and get the plugins we need and then look at getting more gears 20:25:51 mitzie and roshi: if you are going to install another instance of wp can you please install the phpmyadmin cartridge 20:27:27 yeah sure croberts 20:27:53 Hello 20:28:08 croberts, mitzie do you guys have sufficient next steps? 20:28:17 jzb about what? 20:28:41 jzb: i can get with him by email/irc to work on getting it setup 20:29:18 mitzie: wordpress 20:29:22 croberts: why do we want phpmyadmin? 20:29:28 the test site? 20:29:35 mitzie: was thinking we might want to move to next topic 20:30:00 agree with roshi here, as the phpmyadmin url can be publicly accessed 20:30:11 it is like: domain.com/phpmyadmin 20:30:22 it's a whole new attack vector 20:30:26 something else to lock down 20:30:35 croberts: do we really need phpmyadmin? 20:30:38 where does our data live anyway? 20:30:45 roshi: THE CLOUD 20:30:47 roshi: true 20:30:49 * jzb couldn't help it. 20:30:53 lol 20:31:04 ah, so on someone *elses* computer :p 20:31:05 mitzie: please dont install phpmyadmin 20:31:26 ok ;) 20:32:16 croberts: the httpd logs are in /logs 20:32:20 Dip 20:32:26 Sup 20:32:27 so, we can see what kind of traffic we get 20:32:50 slut_tits:, is there something we can help you with? This is the Fedora Marketing Meeting 20:32:51 roshi: ok thinks i will start to work on a report for that and get it to the marketing team 20:33:02 if you have Fedora related questions, #fedora might help 20:33:35 I think the reports would be benefical for everyone on marketing/infranstructure to see 20:33:48 yeah - but scrub them first 20:33:56 +1 20:33:56 not sure what gets logged on those instances 20:34:41 #action croberts to start working on a report for the Marketing team to see the traffic we are getting for the magazine site 20:35:41 I agree with jzb though i think we got off the topic of theme a little :P 20:36:11 so jzb, to wrap it up, I will start the site and make a common admin account and email you guys the pass so we could work on the theme 20:36:30 +1 mitzie 20:36:39 can you email me the mysql username/password 20:36:48 so i can start to work on the replication 20:37:35 sure croberts, altough you could see it by loging in the openshift acc. 20:37:52 are we ready to move to release notes, etc.? 20:38:02 +1 jzb I think so 20:38:08 and trac tickets :) 20:38:26 #topic Tasks for Fedora 20 20:38:46 suehle: maybe you have to do the topic? 20:38:59 #chair jzb 20:38:59 Current chairs: jzb suehle 20:39:08 anyway... I've started the Fedora 20 release announcement 20:39:13 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F20_release_announcement 20:39:34 mostly copied from the beta announcement at this point, but will be sprucing up the rest of it tomorrow, I hope. 20:40:15 we also have "One Page Release Notes" 20:40:20 http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-20/f-20-marketing-tasks.html 20:40:30 in conjunction with Docs, I believe? 20:40:58 are we done with screen shots? 20:41:09 I seem to recall a lot of activity on that earlier this month. 20:41:19 * roshi has been slacking on the screenshots 20:41:55 * jzb wags finger at roshi 20:42:02 roshi: i most of mine uploaded 20:42:03 roshi: is there a lot left to do? 20:42:03 Oh 20:42:05 :P 20:42:09 sorry, I'm a bad person 20:42:16 I don't even know 20:42:23 hence, "been slacking" 20:42:25 lol 20:42:41 suehle: do you have a link to the release screenshot wiki page, so i can start moving from the trac ticket to the wiki? 20:42:46 Yes, Docs handles RN 20:43:03 croberts, uno momento 20:43:22 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F20_screenshots_library 20:44:16 suehle: anything here that's missing?http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-20/f-20-marketing-tasks.html 20:44:24 or rather, anything that's missing from that schedule? 20:44:29 that we should be prepping for? 20:45:24 That should pretty much take care of it. When we're finished with those two things, we can ping John Terrill about the press release 20:45:26 reading those charts is strangely hard for me 20:45:41 I have to think about it way more than I would think I would 20:45:55 roshi: I don't see why, that's cutting-edge mid-90s formatting there. 20:46:10 * roshi is just slow he guesses 20:46:22 any other f20 stuff we need to discuss? 20:46:52 #topic 10th anniversary 20:47:28 we should have a second 10th anniversary piece coming up shortly. I think croberts was working on that. 20:47:33 croberts: how's that going? 20:47:41 did you need any help there? 20:48:44 jzb: its coming along at a slower than i wanted pace with things that have come up, i could use some help on it 20:49:08 croberts: do you have a current draft, notes, or...? 20:49:39 jzb: i will have to look when i get at home, its on my laptop 20:49:55 OK 20:50:03 croberts: if you can post what you have tonight, we can see who else can chip in. 20:50:19 croberts: bonus points if some is already written and/or there's an outline. 20:51:03 jzb: I know i started the outline :) just need help with the ifno 20:51:09 info 20:51:40 croberts: OK. Groovy 20:52:06 croberts: pro tip, if you're unsure of any details, write them without checking, then post to -devel. You'll get your correction in no time. ;-) 20:52:49 jzb: ok sounds good :) its not as long as the statement on the wiki but at least we have something to work with 20:53:10 groovy 20:53:37 I've also noticed that the Fedora twitter account has been kinda quiet lately. 20:53:51 last tweet was 6 November. 20:54:04 Do we have the magazine autotweeting new posts? 20:54:14 suehle: apparently not. I thought that it did. 20:54:45 We could also do it manually for some important posts in the fb page as wel 20:54:50 *well 20:54:52 I thought it did too 20:55:07 I'll take the action to find out whuck is going on there. 20:55:50 #action jzb follow up on Twitter posting for magazine. 20:56:00 that's all I've got this week - anybody else? 20:56:46 * roshi has nothing 20:57:05 * croberts croberts does not have anything else 20:57:10 #endmeeting
