12:05:33 <tigert> #startmeeting
12:05:33 <zodbot> Meeting started Thu Feb 26 12:05:33 2015 UTC.  The chair is tigert. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot.
12:05:33 <zodbot> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #halp #info #idea #link #topic.
12:05:53 <Debloper> Any agenda set, or let's improv (I have a draft idea)?
12:05:56 <tigert> # topic Gluster website and connection with the community
12:06:11 <tigert> please do if you want
12:06:17 <tigert> lets not make the bot the big issue here
12:06:27 <tigert> please share your idea
12:07:21 <Debloper> alright... I was thinking of fist talking about the landing page here & the technical part of it, then move on to the connection it establishes with other portals?
12:07:23 <tigert> (don't write too long lines or irc will chop the end off :)
12:07:53 <Debloper> uh oh, what's the limit? (my client is okay with ~50 words)
12:08:00 <tigert> ok, what I wanted to touch also, is the "backend" being the community activity
12:08:11 <tigert> I guess that is a good limit
12:08:28 <tigert> if you write several lines worth it chops the end
12:08:40 <tigert> but you can mostly tell it from the context anyway that something is missing
12:09:12 <Debloper> tigert: heh, anyways...
12:09:16 <tigert> yeah
12:09:24 <Debloper> does the bot support subtopics?
12:09:32 <tigert> https://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot
12:09:55 <tigert> #info this adds a line to the minutes
12:10:04 <tigert> everything else is not logged I guess
12:10:47 <tigert> #topic landing page
12:10:47 <Debloper> cool, I'm familiar with meetbot - would be okay now!
12:11:03 <tigert> but lets go with the front page
12:11:10 <tigert> you had some thoughts for that?
12:11:18 <Debloper> tigert: the build system that's there now, you figure we can move to client-side only code?
12:11:31 <Debloper> instead of needing to generate the static site?
12:11:47 <tigert> I don't think the technology is the big culprit
12:11:53 <tigert> the reason we have the middleman-based thing
12:12:11 <Debloper> I was thinking on the line of using github to host & gh-pages to stage the sites
12:12:12 <tigert> is that we try to have something common within our community web efforts we do in my team
12:12:22 <Debloper> completely clientside code will make it a breeze
12:12:28 <tigert> but you need to have the content there anyway?
12:12:31 <Debloper> what would we be missing?
12:13:01 <tigert> what would client side solve?
12:13:07 <Debloper> tigert: managing a github fork shouldn't be trouble, no?
12:13:22 <tigert> explain a bit what would that mean in practice
12:13:26 <Debloper> tigert: 1. readily demoable/stages pages
12:13:33 <Debloper> 2. no build environment setup
12:13:43 <Debloper> 3. easy bugs for the newbies to fix
12:14:00 <Debloper> 4. less development overhead
12:14:24 <Debloper> 5. wider group of developer finding the repo familiar to contribute to
12:14:29 <Debloper> being the top ones
12:14:37 <tigert> #idea client-side pages
12:15:27 <tigert> so hmm,
12:15:29 <Debloper> #info GitHub's gh-pages as web-page staging platform https://pages.github.com/
12:15:41 <tigert> (good to do the #info stuff, yeah)
12:16:06 <tigert> how would you do the content?
12:16:07 <Debloper> yeah, just as bullet points (it gets tricky to traverse through the entire log :P)
12:16:12 <tigert> some markup in the git module?
12:16:27 <Debloper> no, plain HTML/CSS/JS you write...
12:16:39 <Debloper> then if pushed to gh-pages branch, github will host it
12:16:54 <JustinClift> hchiramm: ping?
12:17:05 <Debloper> (many do actually host their websites from there)
12:17:15 <tigert> Debloper: yeah
12:17:18 <Debloper> easy to add CNAMEs as well, works like charm.
12:17:18 <hchiramm> JustinClift, pong
12:17:25 <tigert> Debloper: what kind of content would you have on the front page?
12:17:30 <Debloper> tigert: maybe I didn't get the question
12:17:38 <JustinClift> hchiramm: you wanted to point out something with the the website posts?
12:17:39 <Debloper> tigert: oh, sorry :P
12:18:06 <Debloper> tigert: well, I was thinking of 3-4 scrollable sections on the landing page
12:18:12 <hchiramm> I sent a mail to gluster-infra
12:18:34 <Debloper> 1st section, the big GlusterFS wordmark, logo & catchphrase - and an invite to explore further
12:18:35 <hchiramm> tigert, old articles from Niels blog is getting pulled to our social networking sites
12:18:50 <tigert> hchiramm: eep
12:19:19 <tigert> hchiramm: I reset the feed since I suspected something in the plugin settings was wrong
12:19:29 <tigert> hchiramm: did it re-pull everything?
12:19:43 <Debloper> scroll down, and you get the basic pitch of what's the goal of GlusterFS project (scalable distributed NAS with commodity hw)
12:19:52 <tigert> you have quite a chained automation there? :P
12:20:13 <hchiramm> sorry got disconnectde
12:20:32 <tigert> hchiramm: did it re-pull everything?
12:20:37 <hchiramm> tigert, I think currrent feed url is the default one I believe - I mean without any tag
12:20:53 <hchiramm> so it synced all other articles from ndevos's blog
12:21:02 <Debloper> and the call that we're a foss community
12:21:11 <tigert> ok, I am sorry if I messed it up :/
12:21:41 <Debloper> third would be listing our presence, to follow on social media (as in where all to find/join us)
12:21:44 <hchiramm> http://fpaste.org/190805/14249522 tigert
12:21:48 <ndevos> huh?
12:22:16 <tigert> hold on
12:22:33 <tigert> I am getting confused and distracted since I am trying to hold a meeting here at the same time
12:22:34 <Debloper> fourth is the listing of our portals: docs, code etc. for further involvements
12:22:47 <tigert> hchiramm: is something broken that requires action?
12:23:02 <hchiramm> Debloper, please wait
12:23:03 <tigert> hchiramm: we have a website meeting going here now :P
12:23:12 <hchiramm> tigert, I understand ..
12:23:13 <tigert> so lets hold this for a sec
12:23:18 <Debloper> I figure that's a #gluster channel content :P
12:23:44 <Debloper> the log will be interesting :D
12:23:46 <tigert> discussing it anywhere stops the meeting since I need to read it
12:23:55 <tigert> yeah, screw the log for now
12:24:11 <Debloper> tigert: take your time, and we'll get back maybe - if that's urgent
12:24:19 <tigert> hchiramm: so are you talking about the blog.gluster.org stuff?
12:24:30 <hchiramm> not really
12:24:30 <hchiramm> look at this url
12:24:34 <hchiramm> https://www.facebook.com/GlusterInc
12:24:35 <tigert> hchiramm: or the content in my glustermm-tigert site?
12:24:50 <Debloper> #endmeeting
12:24:51 <tigert> ah right
12:25:01 <tigert> Debloper: ok
12:25:12 <tigert> Debloper: yeah, sorry
12:25:36 <Debloper> no worries
12:26:10 <Debloper> I should've also been a bit more objective here... (may be with the contents pre-written, than writing them now)
12:26:33 <tigert> Debloper: it's a start :)
12:26:38 <Debloper> tigert: :)
12:26:45 <Debloper> btw, you need to call the endmeeting
12:26:52 <tigert> #endmeeting
