13:37:30 * bcotton really needs to keep his mouth shut 13:38:02 * asamalik is going to action bcotton quickly before he changes his mind and then thanks him to pressure him to actually do it 13:38:40 bcotton: but seriously, if you see something there and have time to fix it, I'd be glad 13:39:14 ok, anyway! let's move on 13:39:21 #topic 4/ Articles to edit 13:39:25 #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator. 13:39:25 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 13:39:35 we've just went through all of those right? 13:39:44 and people even volunteered to edit and make images 13:40:32 so maybe let's just skip to the publishing schedule 13:40:37 #topic 5/ Publishing schedule 13:40:43 #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period. 13:40:43 #info If there is not enough content, we might also need to look at the 'in progress' or even the 'article spec' columns come up with additional content. 13:40:43 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 13:41:09 bcotton: Was the tuning article supposed to go out today? 13:41:14 I thought that was on last week's schedule 13:41:26 i think it was what we agreed on for today, yeah 13:41:40 Needs an edit still -- if you can do it today we can push tomorrow 13:41:42 unless i looked at the logs wrong, which is entirely possible 13:41:45 I'll work on something for Friday 13:42:25 stickster: something specific it needs? i gave an editorial pass on it already and handed it to ryanlerch for image 13:45:10 bcotton: Take a look at the first sentence :-) 13:45:37 d'oh 13:45:40 There are a bunch of other ESL things like that throughout. 13:45:55 hm, i wonder if i edited the autosave then 13:46:08 or didn't save my edits?
