Richard England (rlengland) - he / him / his

It looks like the newcomers are a no show for this one. 😕

Do you want to try to continue with the rest of the meeting just for kicks?

If you have time. LIke I said, good for a shake down

🔹 next topic

Hmm, that check mark is new. I wonder what it means?

🔹 next topic

Oh yeah, I was supposed to retrieve that info beforehand. 😛

51K visitors 79k views

Why is the number you are seeing different from the one I'm seeing?

Copied mine from https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats#!/stats/day/fedoramagazine.org?startDate=2024-04-10

?

`startDate=2024-04-10`?

fumble fingered that

I got the values by hovering over the April 15th bar in that bar graph.

ah that was for the month, sorry

OK. Now that that's cleared up... 🙂

I don't think we are requiring people to sign the FPCA anymore. But I'm not completely sure about that.

You know, I probably should have left a link to this chatroom in the Fedora Magazine chatroom before we started the meeing.

I'll do that now...

OK, done, now where were we?

Let us know if you have questions or need assistance with anything. ―

Hmm, it doesn't look like you are getting replies to your pings on this one.

And it changed authors. It's only been 5 days, though

Is that really right, you haven't had a reply since April 17 **2023**!

Apr 20 2024

Oh, I get it, someone else has just revived the topic.

OK, so we'll give the new author a chance to pick up the topic.

Five days is probably recent enough that we don't need to ping them again at this time.

he's had it for 2 months but no response from 5 days ago

Oh. Maybe we should moved it to stalled then?

I'd give him another week then I'll contact him and let him know we moved it to stalled

I've actually been dealing with some medical issues lately that have been making it tough to focus and tap into my creative flow. I did a first draft but not at all happy with it. I'm hoping to be back in the swing of things soon, unfortunately, it's taking much much longer than I originally thought.

I just pinged you on this in case there was something we could help with. We'll await your input. Take care. ―

Hmm, looks like this one is due for another ping?

agree

🔹 ping 220 @gbcox any status updates for this article? There's no hurry. We just want to make sure you haven't forgotten about it. 🙂

comments: ― rlengland -- Tue Mar 5 18:09:41 2024 (GMT): @romangherta I've made it official and assigned this article to you, since I see there has been significant work done on it in WordPress. When you have it completed/polished to your liking, let the editors know. Do that by placing a link to the WP preview site for the article in a comment on this ticket. Thank you for contributing. ― romangherta -- Wed Mar 6 09:04:44 2024 (GMT): Hi @rlengland I am still probably a few weeks away from finishing but I will try to update periodically. I have seen @thunderbirdtr 's github account. He is really busy atm. A nice week ahead. ― romangherta -- Mon Apr 1 19:29:47 2024 (GMT): Sorry for the delay, I want to finish reading the openfoam11 usermanual at least once... I have 5 more chapters remaining. It is an interesting field that covers just too many subjects. It is hard to delimit what a CFD engineer should know and what a systems admin should know.... I\ll get back with an update in a week. Right now I feel like I will still be working on this in April. ―

Well, it's been more than a week. Ping?

I'd say so

🔹 ping 72 @romangherta how is this article coming along?

comments: ― joseph -- Tue Apr 16 01:31:19 2024 (GMT): If this article needs too much of a rework then maybe the best thing is to put this topic on the backburner to not be spinning our wheels. Aisha is one of the Outreachy applicants for the Marketing Team project, and writing an article was one of the ways applicants could contribute during the application phase. The goal was to support CoreOS with an article to promote it more without you guys having to put in too much work. If you would basically be rewriting it then it would be better to not publish this article and then save you the time or the opportunity to cover the idea yourselves. Also this is definitely not to fault Aisha. Writing for a technical topic is hard and something I have to balance carefully even with my time in the project. To at least have done the work and gotten more familiar with the technology is a step in the right direction to speaking about this subject with more familiarity. What do we think about tabling this topic? ― aishat -- Tue Apr 16 21:00:39 2024 (GMT): Hello @siosm and @rlengland . I have changed the layout of the article to remove the duplications. Please check it. Thank you so much ― aishat -- Wed Apr 17 23:48:41 2024 (GMT): > If this article needs too much of a rework then maybe the best thing is to put this topic on the backburner to not be spinning our wheels.

Thank you for your guidance so far. I have patiently edited the article after @siosm 's last feedback. I believe the article is now much better ―

Hmm, this one is a difficult call. I think we should wait for siosm's approval.

We might ping them both. I can do that outside the meeting

🔹 next topic

Well, we are getting plenty of hits from the new release articles anyway. So I guess it is OK that we don't have any new content ready for publication in the upcoming week. 🙂

That should make the remainder of this meeting easy anyway. 🙂

We have several in the "Ideas" column that are fairly recent.

so there may be some in the pipeline

Oh. Those should be advanced to the in-progress column if there is any content visible in WordPress (or if the author indicates that they are working on it "offline").

I've been checking and I didn't see any new content early yesterday

Was the TPM2 article covered already?

I don't see it in the in-progress column. It looks like something might have been missed.

The last comment on the said there was a blocking issue and he had filed a issue on GitHub

Ah, I see.

Maybe we should still move that to in-progress to make sure we follow up about it from time to time?

Perhaps we should move that sicne there has been work begun on it.

great minds

🔹 move 278 in-progress

card 278 moved to 'in-progress'

What's this OpenFOAM article?

It's a fluid dynamic app

Oh, we already covered that one.

I worked in that area a bit and I was personally interested in what he comes up with.

OK, I don't see anything else in WordPress' recent history. I just wanted to be sure since we (I) haven't been keeping a close eye on it. But it looks like someone has been doing good work at keeping track of things. 🙂

for certain definitions of good

moving on ...

🔹 next topic

As was stated earlier, it looks like things are going to be quiet for a while, but that is OK. 🙂

🔹 next topic

🔹 next topic

Any volunteers?

I would appreciate it if you would take that on.

We can publicize it better

Well, I can't really complain since you've been doing pretty much *everything* else for quite a while now. 🙂

and give the new folks a better first impression

🔹 eotw glb

#info glb will be editor of the week starting 2024-04-28

Uh oh, there is another command that needs to be fixed in zinebot.

I'll still try to keep my eye on the day to day items

🔹 next topic

Anything else?

Nothing here

That works for me. 🙂
