13:08:46 #topic 1/ Last week's stats 13:10:17 #info Week of 3 Feb: 63.4K pageviews -- better than the previous two weeks, but below longer-term average 13:10:31 #topic 2/ In progress followup 13:10:59 gregbartholomew: I'm not sure.. everything should be in Taiga.. is there something we could use? :) 13:12:10 #info -- #108 Fedora - The Origins -- 13:12:13 So people are skipping the new workflow and just writing whole articles in WordPress? 13:12:46 there is a note from Paul from a few days back, let's leave it in progress 13:14:14 .hello2 13:14:33 gregbartholomew: maybe some occasional contributors who didn't follow the process change? :) 13:14:40 * asamalik waves at rwaltr 13:14:55 o/ 13:15:04 #info -- #46 How to get a complete virtualization system on Fedora Workstation 30 -- 13:15:17 this one feels stuck, there is no response from the author :( 13:15:45 for over 2 months actually... 13:16:21 I'd just move it back to the specs, and maybe Jacob can get back to it whenever he has time 13:17:01 Isn't virt-manager being deprecated? 13:17:26 asamalik: has the author been contacted outside of taiga? 13:17:37 bcotton: that's a good question 13:18:12 the draft is still only half-written and F30 is N-1 almost 4 months already, so we should definitely move it back to specs 13:18:21 bcotton: do you mind asking them on the list? :) 13:18:47 #action bcotton to ping jaek on list about #46 13:18:55 bcotton++ 13:19:06 #info --- #123 Fedora used at Czech National Library of Technology --- 13:19:14 bcotton: still no response form them about this article? 13:19:32 no, they replied, now it's waiting on me to stop being lazy 13:19:54 comment added 13:19:58 bcotton: how would Friday work for you? :P 13:20:17 asamalik: deadlines *do* make me focus 13:20:50 honestly, i'd like some more time than that so that i can send the draft back to miroslav to make sure i'm not full of lies 13:21:04 but if we're desperate for friday, then i'll get it done 13:21:23 it feels like it's the only one we have for the following week 13:21:30 but let's have a look in wordpress, too 13:21:43 #topic 3/ Finished articles to review 13:21:49 #info nothing here 13:21:58 #topic 4/ Articles to edit 13:22:01 #info nothing here 13:22:05 #topic 5/ Publishing schedule 13:22:17 As I mentioned earlier, there appears to be a few articles in WordPress that are not being tracked in Kanban ... 13:22:28 gregbartholomew: yep, just looking! 13:23:32 #info -- (no card) PHP Development on Fedora with Eclipse -- 13:23:36 #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=30437&preview=true 13:24:32 looks a little short, but not unreasonably so 13:25:55 I've created a card for it #135 13:26:54 yeah it's not very extensive, but gets you started on writing PHP in Eclipse on Fedora 13:28:23 assuming it's grammatically okay and not missing anything glaring, i'd say shipit 13:28:59 and it *is* in pending review so... 13:29:02 * asamalik created two more cards from the Pending Review section in wordpress, so we have 135, 136, and 137 13:29:08 bcotton: I tend to agree 13:29:09 Do we need to confirm with the author that it is finished or is it being in "Pending Review" sufficient? 13:29:16 i'll take edit on 135 if someone wants to do an image 13:29:16 gregbartholomew: thanks for checking there! 13:29:32 gregbartholomew: i'll check with the author but if they don't reply, i'm going to consider it a sufficient indication of intent 13:29:41 +1 13:31:00 I wonder if we could add a link / banner on top of the Posts page in Wordpress sending people to our Docs so they don't miss the workflow :) I'll look into that 13:31:22 I can make an image for it 13:31:31 #action asamalik makes an image for #135 13:32:09 #action bcotton to edit #135 13:32:09 bcotton: did you want to do the edit, too? 13:32:16 I guess that's a yes 13:32:32 #info --- #136 https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=30452&preview=true --- 13:32:50 this one looks quite done, too 13:34:11 this one could get some spicy takes 13:34:14 although that's a quite interesting approach 13:34:17 yeah 13:34:24 asamalik: if you want to take the same division of labor as 135, i'm on board 13:34:37 bcotton: deal 13:34:37 * bcotton is editing articles to buy time for writing ;-) 13:34:47 :D 13:35:01 #action asamalik makes an image for #136 13:35:22 This one looks like it could use some heavy editing ... 13:35:44 #action bcotton to edit #136 13:36:16 I don't think wording like "Fedora has been always very sensitive about licenses" is ideal for the magazine for example. 13:36:32 gregbartholomew: agreed. it'll need a little bit of wordsmithing 13:37:29 #info --- #137 Manage your to Do list on Fedora with Taskwarrior --- 13:38:06 this is a good start I'd say :) 13:38:43 although I haven't used Taskwarrior myself too much, so not sure what else is there to show? 13:39:05 feels like there ought to be more, though 13:39:29 I'm not familiar with it. 13:39:40 yeah, just opening their website, there's screenshots with stuff that should be probably mentioned https://taskwarrior.org/ 13:39:49 like a calendar, some sort of a burn-down chart, etc 13:39:54 When was that article created? 13:39:55 Are there more features in its man page that could be elaborated on? 13:40:00 things like due dates, categories, repeating tasks. not sure if taskwarrior supports them,b ut those are all things that i'd expect out of a todo manager 13:40:03 I'm very familiar with taskwarrior 13:40:25 I heard it's a very powerful tool 13:40:27 And it does bcotton 13:40:33 rwaltr: let me check 13:40:52 Last Modified 2020/02/09 13:41:13 Oh, that's not too long ago 13:41:34 If it was abandoned I would of picked it up. I use taskwarrior every day 13:42:01 It's in "Pending Review", so I don't think it was abandoned. 13:42:18 I think this is all the author intended. 13:42:51 rwaltr: do you want to ask the author, potentially offering help? 13:43:52 Sure, who is the author. I can't look at WP at the moment 13:44:10 that could give bcotton space next Wednesday for his article :D 13:44:18 wfm 13:44:26 rwaltr: yazanalmonshed 13:45:03 bcotton++ 13:46:09 Okay, illl see if I can reach the author on the list today 13:46:24 #action rwaltr to ask the author of #137 about status, potentially offering help 13:46:28 rwaltr: thanks! 13:46:40 #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 14 Feb 2020: #135 PHP Development on Fedora with Eclipse (image: asamalik, edit: bcotton) -- Mon 17 Feb 2020: #136 How to get MongoDB Server on Fedora (image: asamalik, edit: bcotton) -- Wed 19 Feb 2020: #123 Fedora used at Czech National Library of Technology (image: DONE, edit: TBD) 13:46:53 ack 13:47:14 looks good to me 13:48:11 #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 14 Feb 2020: #135 PHP Development on Fedora with Eclipse (image: asamalik, edit: bcotton) -- Mon 17 Feb 2020: #136 How to get MongoDB Server on Fedora (image: asamalik, edit: bcotton) -- Wed 19 Feb 2020: #123 Fedora used at Czech National Library of Technology (image: DONE, edit: TBD) 13:48:33 should ben's article be moved to scheduled in kanban? 13:48:37 #topic 6/ Article proposals to clarify / approve 13:48:37 #info Review the the article proposals and decide about what's next — a new article spec? more discussion? 13:48:37 #link Article proposals: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issues 13:48:47 gregbartholomew: no, because it's not written, yet 13:48:57 gregbartholomew: scheduled means "all done, and even scheduled for publication" 13:49:10 but I set due dates to indicate the plan 13:49:32 and you can run "podman run --rm asamalik/magazine-schedule" to get the schedule :) 13:49:59 I'll look into the podman thing. It sounds interesting. 13:50:17 does anyone has anything for open floor? 13:50:41 otherwhise I'd suggest we spend some time in the proposals, +1 them, and maybe create cards so people can start writing :) 13:53:22 * bcotton has nothing 13:54:12 is ryan working on that "3 Ways to install Fedora" article? 13:56:23 A long time ago, someone mentioned the possibility of a quick PERL intro with a simple game similar to what was done for awk. 13:56:32 gregbartholomew: not sure, I'd ask him 13:56:43 I'd be game for writing something like that if there is interest. 13:57:05 gregbartholomew++ dooooo iiiiiit 13:57:08 gregbartholomew: that sounds fun! 13:57:15 I can just give you +1 right here :D 13:57:53 OK. I'll get to work on it then. I think I can probably have something read for review by next meeting. 13:57:57 gregbartholomew: so I guess just feel free to create a card and go for it :) 13:58:14 neat! 13:58:24 Yeah, this will give me some practice with the new workflow too. :) 13:58:49 gregbartholomew: happy to answer any question and fix the docs if something is not clear :) 13:58:52 ok, I guess that's all we have time for today! 13:58:57 have to run for another meeting 13:58:59 thanks all! 13:59:17 #endmeeting
