23:00:21 <ryanlerch> good mpornig stickster!
23:00:25 * stickster wonders if we'll get some folks stopping by tonight/this morning
23:00:26 <ryanlerch> long time no talk!
23:00:30 <ryanlerch> :D
23:00:35 <stickster> hiya ryanlerch, it's like it's been years... how have you been?
23:00:42 <ryanlerch> :D
23:00:45 <stickster> "UH... SLEEPING"
23:02:02 <stickster> so I don't see anyone else popping in yet, should we go ahead?
23:02:59 <ryanlerch> for sure!
23:03:03 <ryanlerch> let's do this!
23:03:08 <stickster> #topic Last week stats
23:03:44 <stickster> #info last week: ~57.8K views, down from the week before but quite good on average
23:03:50 <stickster> Big news here is...
23:04:22 <stickster> #info October: 289.7K views, WAY up from September 224.4K... one of our best months EVER
23:04:26 <ryanlerch> oh 57K is pretty good!
23:04:30 <ryanlerch> woah!
23:04:36 <ryanlerch> that is a really good month!
23:05:22 <stickster> we're at 2.558M views this year so far...
23:05:31 <stickster> it's POSSIBLE we could hit that 3M mark!!!
23:05:43 <ryanlerch> woah, yeah we are going to get pretty close!
23:05:56 <stickster> anything else to say on stats?
23:06:01 <ryanlerch> last release monnth was well over 300K iirc
23:06:31 <stickster> Yup -- so I think this is doable
23:06:32 <ryanlerch> but no, nothing more on stats from me
23:06:37 <stickster> #topic Release upcoming
23:06:48 <stickster> So it's looking *very* likely we'll have F27 GA on Tuesday 2017-11-14 (next week)
23:07:04 <ryanlerch> woo!
23:07:08 <stickster> I talked to mattdm and reminded him about the announcement so he (and mailga?) can have that text ready to go
23:07:23 <ryanlerch> FWIW too, last month was the largest non-release month ever
23:07:29 <stickster> ryanlerch: he knows you put up some work already there, so I told him it's just a matter of finishing it out
23:07:45 <stickster> ryanlerch: yup -- that's why I think we'll make it to the 3M summit
23:08:00 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, it was mostly a cpoypasta of the beta announce, witha start on an intro
23:09:04 <stickster> #nick mattdm
23:09:14 <stickster> #action mattdm finish announcement in cahoots with marketing folks
23:09:34 <stickster> #info We also have a "how to update to F27" article, and a "what's new in F27 Workstation" article
23:10:15 <ryanlerch> stickster: #info all that needs to be done on wortkstaiton and upgrading is to double check the links, otherwise they are ready to go
23:10:22 <stickster> COOL
23:10:24 * stickster likey
23:10:33 <ryanlerch> #info all that needs to be done on wortkstaiton and upgrading is to double check the links, otherwise they are ready to go
23:10:43 <stickster> ryanlerch: So the plan is Tuesday announcement (obviously), and pin that... and also the upgrading article, right?
23:10:54 <stickster> then "what's new" on Wednesday?
23:11:07 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah sounds like a plan
23:11:24 <ryanlerch> it might also be good to get the social posts drafted too
23:11:37 <stickster> ryanlerch: We also have a "F27 Atomic Host on multi-arch" from sinny kumari
23:11:43 <ryanlerch> not really a magazine task, but we typically do that
23:11:44 <stickster> can we put that out on Thursday?
23:11:47 <stickster> or Friday?
23:11:58 <ryanlerch> stickster: lets go thursday i think
23:12:04 <stickster> OK
23:12:21 <stickster> jwboyer: ^ FYI
23:12:30 <ryanlerch> might also be nice to get a HDYF out on friday if it is ready
23:13:57 <stickster> Great point
23:14:36 <stickster> ryanlerch: Also I have a coredumpctl article pitched... what did you think of that?
23:14:46 <stickster> https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=19270&preview=true
23:15:23 <ryanlerch> stickster: i think that would be an awesome article!
23:15:33 <ryanlerch> a great point-to one!
23:15:44 <ryanlerch> are you thinking this friday for that?
23:16:16 <ryanlerch> next friday would work for a HDYF IMHO too
23:16:50 <stickster> ryanlerch: Right, I could do coredumpctl for Friday; then next Friday we could either do HDYF or hold for Monday
23:17:01 <ryanlerch> stickster: sounds like a plan
23:17:05 <stickster> since we'll have many articles going out for release
23:17:11 <ryanlerch> i can get a coredumpctl image done for you today
23:17:33 <stickster> ryanlerch: That would be awesome! I didn't know how to approach it. Sorry my last one was so lame, too
23:17:39 <stickster> I was out of ideas and short on time :-(
23:18:01 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah some of these ones you kinda just have to resort to some text
23:18:04 <stickster> lol
23:18:07 <stickster> it was superlame
23:18:10 <ryanlerch> i know the feeling
23:18:20 <stickster> anyhoo, let me propose a schedule here

23:18:43 <stickster> #agreed coredumpctl pitch approved
23:18:45 <stickster> #action ryanlerch do featured image for coredumpctl article

23:19:15 <stickster> #action stickster finish writing coredumpctl article for Friday publication

23:21:08 <stickster> ryanlerch: I'll take editing on Sinny's article
23:21:21 <ryanlerch> thanks stickster
23:21:27 <ryanlerch> does it need an image too?
23:21:31 <stickster> oh, probably

23:26:17 <stickster> Then I would say our job is done here :-)
23:26:22 <stickster> #topic All other business (open floor)
23:26:27 <stickster> We had a lot of contributor ideas come in
23:26:34 <stickster> and I tried to respond to almost all of them
23:27:13 <stickster> .fas baptu
23:27:17 <zodbot> stickster: baptu 'Rudra Banerjee' <bnrj.rudra@live.com> - baptumhara1 'Bap Tumhara' <rtgdsder45@yopmail.com> - princebaptumhara 'Bap Tumhara' <rtgdr45@yopmail.com> - baptumharaaya 'Prince P' <fgryh54@yopmail.com>
23:28:08 <stickster> baptu sent one in, also Fernando Onassis and Shaun Assam... unfortunately Shaun's is out of bounds legally since it involves mpd and faad2 from rpmfusion
23:28:17 <stickster> I wonder if there are alternate ways to do that idea though
23:28:51 <stickster> ryanlerch: also, I did finally get Ardour working on my workstation and talking to my interface... so I think I can do some articles on that
23:29:06 <stickster> it was rather complicated and I'm not sure it sways me away from my Pro Tools rig :-D
23:29:13 <ryanlerch> stickster: awesome
23:29:15 <ryanlerch> :D
23:29:30 <ryanlerch> bummer about shaun's idea
23:29:31 <stickster> I'll work on that for the week after release :-)
23:29:37 <ryanlerch> it looked pretty promising
23:29:42 <stickster> yeah, I *love* the concept!
23:30:47 <stickster> I asked him if he could look into another way of doing it
23:31:59 <stickster> ryanlerch: but if any of those three folks get back to us, it would be awesome
23:32:07 <ryanlerch> as for a security and privacy article (Fernando;s ides i think)
23:32:19 <stickster> also I asked jforbes to do something on kernel test day coming up
23:32:30 <ryanlerch> we might need to get someone well versed in that stuff to approve the idea
23:32:42 <stickster> ryanlerch: yeah -- or at the very least, to review it.
23:33:02 <stickster> I believe the Security SIG has resurged, so someone there might be game to look at it.
23:33:20 <stickster> it wouldn't take more than 20-30 min of time to do a review and comment back
23:33:36 <stickster> in any case, it would need more info first on what's to be covered
23:34:10 <stickster> well, I feel pretty good and am shutting up now
23:34:12 <ryanlerch> yeah, it might be worht even hitting them up for ideas / posts :)
23:34:16 <stickster> Yes!
23:35:00 <ryanlerch> but, me shutting up now too
23:35:02 <ryanlerch> :)
23:35:08 <stickster> lol
23:35:13 <stickster> Well, I guess that's a wrap then
23:35:17 <stickster> thanks for coming ryanlerch
23:35:24 <ryanlerch> stickster: thanks for chairing!
