Maybe molasses cookies. 20:04:25 one more minute... 20:04:32 * nirik is lurking around 20:04:38 mmmm, or little Mexican wedding cakes 20:04:51 powdered sugar FTW! 20:06:13 nirik: do you have any links to posts/articles that explain why packages rock or their benefits? 20:06:15 #topic Fedora Magazine 20:06:26 Status: 20:06:35 Wordpress is up and running! (high five for mizmo) 20:06:39 mizmo rocks! 20:06:42 graphite6: hum? just in general or? not sure... 20:06:46 Design is working on logo and theme for said WP. 20:06:55 :) 20:06:55 * nirik cheers for wordpressing 20:07:03 * mizmo working on mockup for theme right now :) 20:07:04 I put in a ticket to the board to get approval for fedoramagazine.com, and the only comment so far is a preference for .org. 20:07:21 i installed a whole bunch of themes on the wordpress instance too if you want to try them out 20:07:36 My opinion is that .com doesn't have the commercial connotation that it did ten years ago, and it's a lot more likely that somebody will just remember you said fedoramagazine.com than the extra step of the .org. 20:07:49 why choose? :) 20:07:56 nirik: either, and you don't have to search them out right now, it was just on my mind 20:07:58 I also figure that if we .org, we'd have to buy .com as well to prevent a)a squatter or b)someone more nefarious from doing so. 20:08:05 +1 20:08:08 suehle: probably true the other way around as well 20:08:08 I say get both .org and .com 20:08:21 +1 to both .org and .com 20:08:22 It's not like domain names are pricey. 20:08:42 I'll note the problem with multiple domain names is that you need to make sure they all work and people sometimes get confused as to what one you mean... 20:08:42 +1 for .org and .com 20:09:06 So the next big step is to get enough content seeded to start telling people about it. Maybe we should actually aim to launch it with the release of the Cow? 20:09:16 we should probably pick which one is the primary and set the other one as a redirect (does that make sense?) 20:09:28 nirik, I think they'd both just be redirects to http://wp-fedoramag.rhcloud.com/, right? 20:09:30 so it's .com, but .org redirects (or vice-versa) 20:09:42 Or that 20:09:49 * jbrooks is here, late 20:10:02 well, do you want joe to go to .com and tell his friend who goes to .org then they get confused until they realize the site is the same... 20:10:07 If we have both, I'm not as worried about people being confused about which to use since they'd both work. 20:10:15 I think that's reasonably common enough, isn't it? 20:10:30 I suppose, it just dilutes things tho... 20:10:41 unless they are directed to one on the site. 20:10:45 Could we have an automatic redirect on the one that doesn't "work" 20:11:06 Like if they go to fedoramagazine.org, it just automatically redirects them to fedoramagazine.com 20:11:11 right. 20:11:12 +1 20:11:25 yeah, that's what mizmo said 20:11:41 * nirik is down with that plan. 20:11:44 +1 20:11:52 * suehle will update the ticket 20:13:16 Lacking several people, we'll just go to... 20:13:19 #topic general updates 20:13:32 graphite6 tracked down the owner of the popular Fedora Facebook page. Woo! 20:13:53 graphite6, have you (or have you talked to jreznik at all) about the SOPs? 20:14:22 no :( 20:14:35 's OK. There's lots going on. :) 20:15:09 And our loose deadline on the new flyer content was tomorrow, but I know graphite6 had said she'd need more time, and bogomil isn't here. I'll email him. 20:15:21 graphite6, how much longer do you think you need on that content? 20:15:45 mizmo, I'm not sure you were here for that meeting--we were talking about making language-specific brochures like the blue SXSW job brochures. 20:15:48 actually, probably just this weekend...I'm just waiting on some updates from my victems 20:15:57 So we'll want some design team help eventually :) 20:16:02 I'm mean friends :D 20:16:27 #topic open floor 20:16:32 Anything I forgot to update on? 20:16:39 about mailing list for mag 20:16:49 Oh! mizmo created one, right? 20:17:04 I think we should have one, and still send FWN to announce as well 20:17:12 Oooh, yes, you mean that. 20:17:29 (sorry i had a cube drive-by) 20:17:29 To clarify, should we just continue sending FWN/Fedora Mag updates to announce-list, or should there be a separate list? 20:17:52 i didn't make a list, i just had nirik make an email address to register the openshift account iwth. right now it points to me and nirik 20:18:01 that must be what I was thinking of 20:18:24 Any opinions on the detination list? 20:18:26 Seems to me that announce-list is sufficient 20:18:29 Would the Fedora Mag list be for the writers, editors, designers, letters to the editor, etc ... and I don't think that would go to announce 20:18:30 language specific borchures sounds awesome 20:18:36 That would be destination... a detonation list would be different. 20:18:58 ohhh, a detonation list...I could use a few of those, lol 20:19:12 graphite6, I think we could probably use one of those as well, although we could probably just keep using the existing FWN one. Wait... FWN is actually the logistics list, isn't it? 20:19:36 nope, there's news@lists.fedoraproject.org 20:19:51 Welcome to the part of the meeting where I answer myself. :D 20:19:55 lol 20:20:12 ^^so news@lists will be for the Fmag logisitics? 20:20:38 Makes sense to me. 20:20:54 pcalarco and sundaram own it 20:21:02 gotcha, I'll go sign up 20:22:04 Any other topics? 20:22:25 i should mention i guess if you want to follow / opine on the design work for fedora mag, follow the design-team list :) 20:23:25 i think we can also (just back on the domain question) set up wordpress so it pretends one of the domains is the real domain 20:23:32 instead of the rhcloud one 20:23:38 agreed 20:23:48 yup 20:24:01 so if you go to like, fedoramagazine.com/12/12/awesome-article-here, it won't replace it with blahblah.rhcloud.com/12/12/awesome-article-here 20:24:12 im not 100% sure how to do that but im pretty sure its possible 20:24:22 I think I was looking at those settings yesterday. 20:24:31 okay cool 20:24:46 yeah, should be doable. 20:26:20 OK then! Everybody have a half hour back in your day. Use it wisely. Or play Angry Birds. :) 20:26:22 #endmeeting
