I'm happy to take the workgroup beat. 20:14:21 <jzb> if that's a beat. :-) 20:14:29 <mitzie1> I would contribute, but I don't have much experience on fedora things :( 20:14:30 <jreznik> ops, I missed the meeting... sorry 20:14:52 <jzb> mitzie1: if you can write and follow a mailing list, we can teach you the rest ;-) 20:14:53 <mitzie1> (on the 10th anniversary I mean) 20:14:57 <jzb> oh 20:15:10 <mitzie1> Great jzb! 20:15:16 <suehle> #action suehle to start a discussion on list about claiming beats. 20:15:18 <jzb> jreznik: I assume you need a textified version of the release announcement. 20:15:41 <mitzie1> Sorry but what is beats? 20:15:49 <jreznik> jzb: rbergeron needs it :) not sure if she already did it or not - I sent her a link to announcement 20:15:53 <mitzie1> Dump question :( 20:15:59 <jreznik> let me check mail 20:16:01 <suehle> mitzie1, basically it means that people volunteer to be responsible for writing about a topic area 20:16:27 <mitzie1> Ahh thanks for clarifying 20:16:28 <jreznik> jzb: for final, it's fpl responsibility to send announcement 20:16:59 <jzb> jreznik: ah, OK 20:17:27 <jzb> jreznik: will check in with rbergeron then :-) 20:17:31 * jzb waves at rbergeron 20:17:56 <jzb> OK, any other topics 20:17:57 <jzb> ? 20:18:01 <mitzie1> Also something short about the mag, I see that the magazine slideshow is fixed on big monitors, and since I don't see much contribution on the new design I would like to call it off (th e new design) and go with the current one 20:18:17 <jzb> mitzie1: maybe raise that on the mailing list? 20:18:19 <mitzie1> For a while. Thought? 20:18:24 <jzb> mitzie1: so that folks who aren't here can weigh in. 20:18:28 <mitzie1> Sure 20:18:39 <jzb> mitzie1: I think we need to dump the slideshow either way, even if we don't overhaul the site. 20:19:05 <mitzie1> I tried that and the mag looks bad without it 20:19:23 <mitzie1> So if we go without it we have to chan gee tje design 20:19:31 <suehle> It would need to be replaced with something. Maybe a static image that changes monthly or so. 20:19:44 <mitzie1> That would be easy 20:19:53 <mitzie1> Even one static image 20:20:06 <mitzie1> Would do 20:20:11 <jzb> suehle: ah. I just think it drives content too far down the page. 20:20:38 <jzb> oh well 20:20:39 <suehle> jzb, could be smaller or something... is somebody actively working on this redesign? 20:20:45 <mailga> ? 20:20:51 <jzb> suehle: not as far as I know. 20:21:24 <mitzie1> It was designed by mizmo and the whole design team, it is not one person 20:21:27 <suehle> I didn't think so. The best thing to do if we really need one is to open a design ticket, but it's going to need specific things. 20:21:33 <suehle> I thought tatica did it? 20:22:02 <jreznik> jzb: so, no reply from robyn yet... if you could text format it and send it to her/cc me/logistic list, thanks 20:22:10 <suehle> At any rate, since the design team's already done it once, they're going to want to know why we want a do-over. 20:22:28 <mitzie1> True suehle 20:22:30 <suehle> I think our efforts are probably better spent filling it with content than worrying too much about the design. 20:23:14 <jzb> suehle: OK 20:23:21 <jzb> jreznik: will do 20:23:29 <mitzie1> But we should choose a static image altogether and I don't jave an idea about it 20:23:34 <jzb> suehle: I keep getting bumped from the etherpad :-( 20:23:50 <suehle> jzb, huh... I have no idea how to troubleshoot that. 20:24:00 <jreznik> jzb: and if you could ping rbergeron later today, it would be great too :) it's getting late here... 20:24:19 <jzb> jreznik: will do 20:24:23 <jreznik> thanks 20:24:27 <mitzie1> Anyway will continue on the list 20:25:07 <jzb> mitzie1: groovy 20:26:03 <suehle> anything else for today? 20:26:09 <jzb> suehle: I want cookies 20:26:17 <jzb> oh, marketing related? No. 20:26:29 <mailga> ? 20:27:14 <mailga> suehle, before said that there are topic areas in the fedmag, are they defined yet? 20:27:15 <suehle> jzb, I have a dining room table full of them after last night's cookie party. :) 20:27:24 <suehle> mailga, you mean for beats? 20:27:32 <mailga> yes 20:27:49 <suehle> I think we'll just use the old FWN list for a start. I'll start that discussion on-list so more people see it. 20:28:37 <suehle> last call... 20:28:44 <mailga> ok, think this is an important step, without this fedmag couldn't have a 20:28:50 <mailga> regular beat. 20:29:21 <mailga> eof 20:29:41 <suehle> #endmeeting
