13:05:52 <stickster> o/ Clément
13:06:04 <ryanlerch> the thonny one seemed to go well
13:06:05 <cverna> \o
13:06:17 <stickster> Indeed it did!
13:06:23 <stickster> Got a bunch of social medial love too
13:06:26 * ryanlerch wonders sometimes if using the read more thing inposts helps
13:06:39 <stickster> ryanlerch: We should be using that regularly
13:06:49 <ryanlerch> without read more, the whole post is sent via email
13:07:02 <ryanlerch> we have > 3000 email subscribers now iirc
13:07:04 <stickster> OMG, I just realized I forgot to put that in the Rust article :-(
13:07:13 * stickster edits
13:07:47 <cverna> oh then you have to click on the read more from the email
13:08:07 * cverna wondered what was the purpose of this :)
13:08:22 <stickster> It won't help for the email but it may for the RSS readers still to wake up
13:08:40 <stickster> ryanlerch: I'll keep that in mind for edits, I'm usually good about it but I think I've been slipping up repeatedly lately
13:08:45 <ryanlerch> stickster: love the rust image too btw!
13:08:54 <stickster> it's so rusty, who would've guessed :-D
13:08:56 <ryanlerch> yeah, i know i have been as well
13:09:15 <stickster> #info Important note for editors -- use "Read More" tag after intro to entice readers to visit

13:09:41 <stickster> So we have an interesting miniseries here from gnokii!
13:10:48 <cverna> that's cool
13:10:54 <cverna> and interesting
13:11:15 <stickster> I like it too
13:11:42 <ryanlerch> yeah +1 from me too
13:12:01 <cverna> +1
13:12:06 <stickster> +1
13:12:09 <ryanlerch> no super fedora-related
13:12:15 <ryanlerch> but still a +1 from me
13:12:36 <stickster> ryanlerch: I think it could be slightly swayed since it uses tools you can get for Fedora
13:12:41 <ryanlerch> i take that back
13:12:45 <ryanlerch> optipng :D
13:13:02 * ryanlerch plays the 11pm card! sorry!
13:13:33 <stickster> ha
13:13:45 <stickster> ryanlerch: Do you want to take a crack at editing this one?
13:14:10 <stickster> we also have a part 2 (looks done too) and a part 3 still to come (more of a pitch right now)
13:14:11 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, if i can get it done tomorrow!
13:14:28 * ryanlerch is heading to the docs FAD on friday
13:14:34 <stickster> ryanlerch: Oh right!
13:14:44 <stickster> ryanlerch: We don't have anything else lined up for Friday so this could be a good contender
13:14:50 <ryanlerch> i can at least get a first pass done tomorrow
13:15:12 <stickster> ryanlerch: If you do that, I'll work on some stuff for Mon/Wed of next week
13:15:13 <ryanlerch> just need to check with gnokki if it is ready for review
13:15:20 <ryanlerch> it loooks like it might be
13:15:37 <ryanlerch> stickster: deal.
13:15:49 <stickster> oops

13:19:35 <ryanlerch> ooh nice!
13:19:42 <stickster> That's pretty much it though
13:19:55 <stickster> None of the other pitches have moved since approval/contact
13:20:23 <stickster> #topic Future publishing
13:20:47 <stickster> ryanlerch: I was thinking I could grab a starter pitch and run with that for next Wed, maybe do the same for Friday if we don't get anything else from contributors by then
13:21:02 <stickster> Actually... I'll work on gnokii's part 2 for next Friday!
13:21:16 <ryanlerch> stickster: that sounds like a plan!
13:21:32 <cverna> This weekend I ll try to start another python how to article
13:21:37 <stickster> ryanlerch: do you think you'll be able to attend next week's Magazine meeting?  Since you'll be somewhere it's only 2pm next week :-)
13:21:49 <stickster> cverna: That would be most welcome!
13:22:05 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, i think i will be able to!
13:22:28 <ryanlerch> so we just need a post for wednesday?
13:22:29 <cverna> I ll think about the pitch later today and send it to the list
13:23:13 <stickster> ryanlerch: Yes, but I can do a starter-pitch post for then -- there are several I could write in my sleep
13:23:21 <stickster> cverna: cool!
13:23:44 <ryanlerch> stickster: roger that, sounds like a plan!
13:23:48 * cverna wishes he could write articles in his sleep
13:23:54 <cverna> :)
13:24:00 <stickster> hahaha. I wish I could *actually* do that too
13:24:15 <stickster> #action stickster write a starter-pitch based article for Wed 2018-Feb-28
13:24:39 * ryanlerch has one open-florry item to bring up before stickster leaves
13:25:07 <stickster> #topic Open floor (all other biz)
13:25:09 <stickster> Go for it ryanlerch
13:25:35 <ryanlerch> just wondering if you all mind if i get us a dedicated calendar set up on fedocal
13:25:49 <ryanlerch> currently our meetings are in the marketing calendar
13:26:08 <stickster> ryanlerch: I'm down with that
13:26:13 <cverna> +1
13:26:26 <stickster> we're not very "discoverable" stuck under marketing that way
13:26:27 <ryanlerch> this is mainly for hubs, so we can have a dedicated "magazine" hub :D
13:26:36 <stickster> +1
13:26:59 <stickster> #agreed make a dedicated calendar on fedocal for magazine to make it easier to set up a dedicated hub
13:27:00 <ryanlerch> awesome, i will open the ticket
13:27:27 <stickster> #action ryanlerch take care of the fedocal switcheroo
13:27:28 <ryanlerch> stickster: might need you to remove the old meeting from marketing after the calendar is set up
13:27:36 <stickster> ryanlerch: of course, happy to help
13:27:42 <ryanlerch> but will ping you when done on my end
13:27:49 <stickster> awesome
13:27:53 <ryanlerch> okies, that is me done
13:28:18 * stickster opens floor for anyone else. I have to vacate for another meeting in a moment. But I can monitor from there and post the minutes if ryanlerch closes the meeting
13:28:31 <stickster> (or cverna for that matter, you're welcome to)
13:29:44 <ryanlerch> cverna: any thing for open floor?
13:29:49 <cverna> nope
13:29:55 <ryanlerch> okies!
13:29:58 <cverna> :)
13:30:09 <ryanlerch> lets do the gravel drop!
