What does the 'last modified' date show? 12:18:09 stickster: 2019/07/09 12:18:19 Yeah, hasn't been touched since before our last couple meetings. I think there's nothing else new in the list 12:18:22 I guess that's worth a ping 12:18:47 oh, I see, yeah 12:18:51 action me dude! 12:19:27 stickster: ha! you want to finish it? 12:20:49 author said he'd have this done on Monday 2019-07-22, so I'll contact him about it 12:21:05 #action stickster contact author of dropdown terminal article to see about ETA (DONE) 12:21:19 ok! 12:21:23 so that's all then 12:21:29 #topic Pitches to approve 12:21:29 #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=pitch&post_type=post 12:21:47 #info --- Get e-Mail Notifications from your Computer --- 12:21:52 #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=28960&preview=true 12:21:54 hello again! 12:22:03 hello! 12:22:23 :-D 12:22:42 This was just a quick idea that I jotted down before joining this morning. 12:22:55 +1 on this article but I would like to see it cover postfix instead of sendmail, which while not deprecated is out of favor these days 12:23:03 Not sure how long it would take me to compose 12:23:35 I haven't done it with postfix before, but I can certainly look into it. 12:23:47 In general postfix is also easier to configure! 12:23:52 (which is a nice bonus) 12:24:01 +1 from me too 12:24:19 +1 fropm me too 12:24:19 * asamalik trusts stickster with the postfix suggestion 12:24:26 I think it was a little lighter on the features though, which *might* be a problem, I don't know. 12:25:09 There is a speacial "auth" token that has to be set up for interopperation with gmail. 12:25:29 I use a postfix server locally on my laptop (for $reasons) and it works fine with gmail 12:25:49 but yeah, I do that token thing as well ;-) 12:25:58 Great, it sounds like postfix is a go then. 12:26:18 #info pitch "Get e-Mail Notifications from your Computer" approved with a suggestion to use postfix instead of sendmail 12:26:24 I can volunteer to edit since I don't mind messing my postfix installation up here. I have it in an ansible role so I can recreate when needed 12:26:28 * asamalik moves it to draft? 12:26:40 disco 12:26:42 thanks stickster 12:26:51 stickster++ 12:26:57 ansible++ 12:26:58 :D 12:26:59 asamalik: Karma for ansible changed to 1 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 12:27:01 BTW, I know that I have two or three old posts floating around in WP 12:27:05 oh! 12:27:08 haha 12:27:20 Last I tried to delete them, I couldn't. 12:28:03 gregbartholomew: can you send me the names on #fedora-magazine? I can clean that up 12:28:14 will do. 12:28:16 We can probably do that; at least one of them I recall was something of good interest, like '3 ways to install Fedora from your Fedora system' 12:28:18 thanks asamalik 12:28:40 that one sticks out in my memory at least, maybe it was someone else's 12:28:50 oh, if you want me to actually follow-up on any of them, that is still a possibility 12:29:03 oh! here it is 12:29:04 I thought they were all rejected. 12:29:19 https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=25797&preview=1&_ppp=23fe20af0f 12:29:48 Yeah, I pitched that one at the request of a reader in the comments of another article. 12:29:50 * asamalik will prepare the new editorial workflow we talked about before my vacation three weeks ago — so we can see what's a proposed pitch, what's an approved pitch, what's WIP (work in progress) etc. 12:30:42 I think it is doable, but it is something that would take time, especially because I still have a lot of other priorities. 12:30:52 asamalik: ryanlerch: I can't figure out why the "Editorial Comment" function says "no one will be notified" on some posts, and not on others 12:31:13 weird.... 12:31:16 stickster: heh! not sure 12:31:37 stickster: are you the author on any of those posts? 12:31:45 ryanlerch: no 12:31:59 maybe it has to do with the status of the post? 12:32:11 i.e. a pitch, daraft... etc? 12:32:28 sorry, just throwing out random ideas 12:32:37 * ryanlerch will have a dig into it 12:32:52 there is an Assignment field in the Editorial Metedata.. maybe that? 12:32:57 but I don't remember us ever using that 12:33:07 yeah let's dig into it 12:33:08 Hm 12:33:16 Yeah, doesn't need to be here, I'll piddle with it later 12:33:22 anyway.. we got a bit lost :) 12:33:38 I've moved the email notifications article to drafts 12:33:56 do we want to look at "3 Ways to Install Fedora from Fedora" as a pitch? 12:35:42 I think we already +1'd it, but I just looked at it and would +1 it again! 12:36:10 it could be interesting to demonstrate how to do that from other distros or from Windows :P 12:36:11 If both are approved, which one do you think I should work on first? 12:36:31 but that's just an idea 12:36:57 asamalik, sure, I'm all ears for ideas about how an article can be approved 12:37:23 improved 12:38:34 * stickster thinks either is fine 12:39:01 oh yeah I meant a different one maybe :) 12:39:04 * stickster notes we are about 20 minutes left and not sure what our schedule looks like. 12:39:15 right 12:39:26 looking at the dates in pitches we must have seen all of them already in the past 12:40:01 #topic Publishing schedule 12:40:11 stickster: so you've mentioned we already have something for Friday right? 12:41:24 and we talked about two drafts, but we're waiting for the authors to confirm so we don't know what we can do there 12:42:16 any suggestions? :) 12:42:21 The Bitwarden article I wrote is scheduled for Friday. Also, I noticed that the tags for Bitwarden article is a bit all over the place - is this something we care about? 12:42:52 * asamalik is going to write "Modularity-related activities at Flock" but that's clearly a Community Blog topic 12:43:16 SpyTec13: I tagged it, just trying to hit many related terms for SEO. 12:44:01 stickster: ack, just missing a Bitwarden tag :) 12:44:21 SpyTec13: since that's the SEO focus keyphrase, it shouldn't need one 12:44:48 I see, thank you 12:44:58 I'll throw it in for fun though :-) 12:45:48 asamalik: what about starter pitches? https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=starter-pitches&post_type=post 12:46:42 I'm not sure I can commit to writing something before Flock... :( 12:47:37 Yikes, and that's still three weeks off 12:47:48 oh I thought two? 12:48:38 starts two weeks from tomorrow 12:48:43 Oh right! 12:48:47 yay! 12:48:55 time flies 12:49:16 * asamalik notes he hasn't had proper time to start with minimization yet and has a talk about it :) 12:49:19 yeah! 12:49:29 yeah, priorities... 12:50:35 ryanlerch we need your help :D 12:50:38 I can do a follow on the permissions article to talk about octal mode for permissions 12:51:00 It wasn't covered there but it's a good excuse to have people know how to deal with numbers 12:51:12 Might also be able to cover the suid/guid/sticky bits 12:52:12 asamalik: got nothing on the burner here, but i can wrangle something up for wednesday! 12:52:30 stickster++ 12:52:32 ryanlerch++ 12:52:50 #action stickster draft permissions followup article and get ready for publishing on Monday 12:53:40 so we have bitwarden friday, permissions monday, something from ryanlerch for wednesday 12:53:56 * asamalik is putting together the agreed thing 12:54:03 we actually had a surplus of articles this week, so it's not like we are in a historical drought 12:54:17 extra test day article, extra coreos announcement 12:54:33 we just have a lot of intro authors who haven't delivered what they said they would :-( 12:54:53 #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Day NN Month, Friday 26 July, Bitwarden (--scheduled--) -- Monday 29 July, permissions (stickster) -- Wednesday 31 July, something from ryanlerch (ryanlerch) 12:54:56 but at least for every two of them, there's a SpyTec13, a gregbartholomew, etc. 12:55:17 * stickster +1 on Day NN Month! 12:55:22 lol.
