I would like to work on it. 16:15:10 Ok, now it's assigned 16:15:21 Thank You 16:15:35 I think the problem is that documentation is not so good, so you need to talk with releng 16:15:52 There are several tips/links on the issue 16:16:09 So, let's move on 16:16:15 #topin Content for Fedora Spins' website 16:16:34 This is splitted in 2 tickets, that I think we need to decide if we can close them 16:16:37 Sure. 16:16:59 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/31 16:17:08 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/30 16:17:40 The elevator pitch written by semioticrobotic is really good 16:18:12 I made some adjustment because I want to avoid the use of the word "Desktop", since tiling window managers don't follow the Desktop Metaphor 16:18:29 Please take a look to the text and vote on the issue 16:19:02 ++ to not use the keyword: `desktop` 16:19:28 /me starts reading backlog 👀 16:19:49 Welcome @jwflory 👋 16:20:17 We will wait for you, we haven't advanced too much 16:20:30 #chair jwf 16:20:30 Current chairs: defolos jwf nasirhm x3mboy 16:20:44 #chair jwflory 16:20:44 Current chairs: defolos jwf jwflory nasirhm x3mboy 16:21:19 Well, element is being rude with your nick 16:21:21 :S 16:21:40 :P 🤣 16:22:45 OK!

Anyone looked at the screenshots from @aashu_x yet? 16:23:58 I already linked issue 30 16:23:59 @jwflory, Sure :) 16:24:02 And they look great 16:24:07 Should we pass this over to the Websites Team now? 16:24:17 We can just reference the images uploaded there in the websites repo ticket 16:24:37 @jwflory, I think yes, we can vote here and then just put them there 16:24:41 I'm +1 16:25:04 +1 16:25:04 I still think we should ship a white on black terminal, but defaults are defaults 16:25:12 +1 from me :) I feel good knowing they also came from our WIP official ISO 16:25:38 x3mboy: I agree too on white-on-black – maybe a follow-up for F35 ;) 16:25:49 Oh BTW the coloring link you share it's awesome @jwflory 16:25:56 Right?!? 16:26:00 x3mboy: It could be possible but we'll only be able to do it for the Live Environment, or else we would have to modify the package. 16:26:08 And knowing the fedora palette of colors My i3 looks more fedorian now! 16:26:55 nasirhm: I know, we should stick with the default and then everyone can customize 16:27:02 Back on topic 16:27:15 So we agreed both text and screenshots for the website? 16:27:23 * jwf switches from Telegram to IRC 16:27:25 (I think there is a small delay on messages from IRC going to Telegram…) 16:27:31 Oh let me look at the elevator pitch too really quick 16:28:05 Yep :) 16:28:09 +1 tagline: "The Fedora operating system experience featuring a tiling window manager" 16:28:35 And +1 to the pitch :) 16:28:39 It all looks good to me! 16:29:42 #agreed Pitch, tagline and screenshots for the website are approve to move to the website issue 16:30:34 defolos: didn't vote, but he's busy and he trust in us 16:31:09 #topic Ticket triage 16:31:21 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issues 16:31:54 From biggest to smallest we have #34 16:32:05 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/34 16:32:33 I'm agree with the change to rawhide 16:33:08 `rawhide` actually does make sense to me, in this case. It is Fedora-specific but it is very clear about expectations for when changes to the kickstarts will appear in the next compose of the spin 16:33:20 * next compose of all spins 16:33:39 +1 rawhide 16:34:07 +1 rawhide, +1 main. 16:34:18 defolos: agreed with rawhide in the issue, so 16:34:34 #agreed Rename master branch to rawhide 16:34:38 We can give odilhao a chance to weigh in, but it seems fairly noncontroversial :) 16:34:51 We just have to update our local git repos after the move 16:34:57 I can take that action for today 16:34:59 Oh, odilhao 16:35:20 #action jwf to rename the master branch 16:35:25 #action jwf Change default git branch from `master` to `rawhide` for pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin 16:35:30 Oh hah jinx! 16:35:35 And I forgot 16:35:37 jwf++ 16:35:38 #undo 16:35:38 Removing item from minutes: ACTION by jwf at 16:35:25 : jwf Change default git branch from `master` to `rawhide` for pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin 16:35:42 * odilhao reading the messages 16:35:55 * nasirhm waves to @odilhao 16:36:03 #action nasirhm to work on the kickstart file with releng 16:36:12 #chair odilhao 16:36:12 Current chairs: defolos jwf jwflory nasirhm odilhao x3mboy 16:37:02 odilhao: o/ 16:37:19 +1 to rename it to rawhide 16:38:41 should we add the docs as well on this issue? 16:38:59 Yeah, I can do both repos 16:39:19 For docs, I will do `main` just because that is the Fedora Docs standard for new repos once Pagure switches over 16:39:46 +1 for `rawhide` for spin and `main` for docs. 16:40:08 I think we are good to move ahead on this one 16:40:25 x3mboy: Any other tickets of noteworthiness to discuss during ticket triage? 16:40:34 2 16:40:51 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/33 16:41:10 Someone figured out where this bug is coming from? 16:41:20 nope, haven't looked yet 16:41:23 I think is the i3-wizzard thing 16:41:31 defolos: 16:41:36 But can't really say 16:41:57 x3mboy: Yep, It's the `wizard` and only occurs when i3 is fresh installed. 16:42:42 Yeap, and also occurs installing i3 separate (in another DE) 16:42:52 Confirmed, so how we will work on that? 16:43:13 defolos: Do we have any patches included when we package i3 ? 16:43:36 Hah, I guess it would take building an i3 Spin to find this bug in Fedora 16:43:36 no 16:43:38 Here's the bug on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1908152 16:43:57 jwf: 😆 16:44:09 I think is a simple move, not sure how it worked before, but I have one on $mod+d and the other on $mod 16:44:16 * I think is a simple move, not sure how it worked before, but I have one on $mod+d and the other on $mod+Shift*d 16:44:42 defolos: It could be upstream, Are there any minor updates from upstream ? 16:45:48 And I think it's not only on fedora, but I can't tell 16:46:16 nasirhm: no, i3 is up to date 16:46:17 Ok, so the plan is to patch it and submit the patch upstream? 16:47:07 Do we have an champion to take this fix upstream? :) 16:47:42 I can try pulling it and compiling it locally to make sure it's an upstream issue. 16:47:56 and can report it afterwards. 16:48:35 https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/4304 16:48:36 found it 16:48:44 there's a patch 16:49:04 Excellent! 16:49:04 I'll cherry pick it and then this will be fixed 16:49:10 defolos++ 16:49:14 defolos++ 16:49:31 defolos++ 16:49:34 defolos++ :) 16:49:53 #action defolos to cerry pick the patch for #33 and fix it 16:49:53 This is one of those times where I am thinking, "git is awesome" 16:50:24 Ok 16:50:36 Linus ++ for creating Git 🌟 16:50:36 Moving on 16:50:42 #link https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/issue/32 16:51:16 My thinking when I create this ticket was that we need to provide guidance to newcomers 16:51:27 Power users normally help themselves 16:51:49 ++ to jwf's comment for F35 16:51:50 I wasn't thinking in maintaining an application 16:52:02 And I didn't take a look around 16:52:19 But as suggested by defolos I was looking what were out ther 16:52:57 And found regolith-linux, that it was part of the inspiration for the spin (at the very beginning at least) 16:53:12 #link https://regolith-linux.org/screenshot-remontoire_hu0072e1a729bbceaae2457311ea01b479_3441088_636x0_resize_catmullrom_2.png 16:53:19 They have this "menu" 16:54:04 That makes me remember that Unity had something similar 16:54:43 Where a keystroke launches a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts 16:55:01 So, not sure if we should take this one, or leave it to research 16:55:39 #idea Keystroke launching a cheatsheet of keyboard shortcuts 16:55:45 x3mboy: Honestly I am OK leaving this one to research 16:55:49 * #link https://regolith-linux.org/screenshot-remontoire.png 16:55:54 It is a really cool idea! But I think it is a back-burner project for now 16:55:58 Me too 16:56:05 leave it on research for now 16:56:16 we can do something with that once we have an MVP out 16:56:23 defolos: Was about to say the same :) 16:56:26 ++ to have it on research. 16:56:56 Ok 16:56:59 BTW, I have to jump for another work call now, sorry! But I wanted to share this article I saw floated in Telegram. 16:57:03 For the Spanish speakers: https://www.muylinux.com/2021/01/18/fedora-spin-i3-silverblue-kinoite-kde-plasma/ 16:57:14 #agreed to put #32 on hold to research 16:57:23 Have a good morning/afternoon/evening all :) Stay safe! 16:57:23 #link https://github.com/regolith-linux/remontoire 16:57:34 jwf: Thank You for joining today :) 16:57:45 #topic Open Floor 16:58:10 jwf: Thanks for coming 16:58:18 Anyone have something for open floor? 16:59:41 Nothing from my side. 16:59:49 Thank you for chairing x3mboy 16:59:58 I have something 16:59:59 :D 17:00:03 Sorry, really quick 17:00:24 One of (Or the main) developer for regolith linux contact us via email 17:01:18 @defolos answer his questions and I think it could be interesting to keep this contact 17:01:35 Since it's a great project and have several stuff that we can "borrow" 17:01:43 Like remontoire 17:02:24 It'll be a good idea, we can fork (after license assurance) it under i3-sig and modify and package according to i3. 17:02:28 #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/i3wm@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/XQ3T5XCJ5KCLUT6QTSXINXMGKBNPJM4I/ 17:02:48 I recommend to take a look and say hi 17:02:49 :D 17:02:50 please no forking if possible 17:03:01 No, no forking 17:03:24 I think we can just take the code of remontoire and just package it (if that's what we are going to use) 17:03:52 👍️ 17:04:12 oops, my bad. I thought regolith is different than i3. 17:04:32 regolith is a linux distro using i3 17:04:33 :D 17:04:38 We'll be good to with alot of regolith maintained apps and can have them on the spin by packaging it. 17:04:41 Well, that's all for today 17:04:50 Thanks all for coming 17:04:59 * nasirhm > <@x3mboy:matrix.org> regolith is a linux distro using i3 17:05:00 * nasirhm is a little sleepy 😪 17:05:02 And have a nice day and 2 more week until next meeting 17:05:04 See ya! 17:05:25 Have a Great week ahead everyone, Thank you for coming today. 17:05:47 #endmeeting
