Anything to follow up on with its author? 12:08:03 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:08:24 #info 5 articles in progress 12:10:10 * asamalik can't find #195 in Wordpress, but it looks like the author is writing it in the card description 12:10:23 really 12:10:52 they are too 12:11:17 which is fine, we can just copy it over when it's done, wordpress supports markdown :) 12:11:51 #179 seems to be ready based on the comment 12:12:12 jakfrost: you might know :) 12:12:25 It is, I need a reviewer, I did an image for it 12:12:39 nice! So I'll move it to review! 12:12:43 and I need to talk about the title 12:12:50 Are people putting their images in the fedoramagazine-images repo? 12:12:56 I did 12:13:00 Cool 12:13:05 and have been 12:13:30 bcotton gave me the rights to push them to the repo 12:13:57 \o/ 12:14:02 * asamalik has added a link to #201 12:14:04 all editors should have commit privs to all magazine repos by way of the pagure group 12:14:16 side note: we have over 200 articles in taiga! \o/ 12:14:31 do all images go in the repo or just title images? 12:14:41 gregbartholomew: just the cover images 12:15:00 asamalik, got it, thanks. 12:16:46 * asamalik has added a link to #202 12:17:36 not sure what the #203 is about 12:17:44 no link, not in WP, no one assigned 12:18:19 I saw it proposed on the mail list. 12:18:26 I +1'd it. 12:18:49 Apperently scp is being deprecated in favor of rsync. 12:19:17 see it in proposals now, I'l lcopy the description over! 12:19:59 and assigned 12:20:21 all right, anything else about in progress? 12:20:36 nothing seems stalled 12:21:42 #topic 3/ Finished articles to review 12:21:43 #info Looking at the 'review' column, let's decide which articles are good to go. Move each either to the 'to edit' (finished) or to the 'in progress' (needs more work) and provide feedback. 12:21:43 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:22:58 #185 is ... missing? nothing at the preview link 12:23:04 I think #185 was there last week. It comes up empty when I click on it. 12:23:20 is the writer working on it? 12:24:14 Maybe the link is wrong? Why is the card in the review column? 12:25:06 it hasn't been edited since 20th of june 12:25:35 it's not been moved to review by the author 12:25:53 sysoplab: any chance you moved #185 by accident? 12:27:22 it could also be deleted by accident, and maybe there is an old version or an autosave... although I can't find the history in wordpress 12:28:05 We should contact the writer for clarification and move the ticket to ion progress in the meantime 12:28:18 yep 12:29:37 done 12:29:39 #194 seems complete, the writer put it in WP as a single continuous block 12:29:58 title image included! 12:30:18 excellent! 12:30:25 it'll need some formatting changes 12:30:40 I did the last one. 12:30:42 asamalik: you beat me to it 12:30:42 * asamalik wonders why our codeblock CSS is broken :( 12:31:08 jakfrost: heh, do you want to edit this one? :) 12:31:21 sure 12:31:27 jakfrost++ 12:31:28 all yours! 12:31:50 mmmm cookies 12:31:54 jakfrost++ for taking editor of the week! 12:32:02 hahaha 12:32:13 wait what?!? 12:32:31 #179 looks good! 12:33:07 thank you, but the title.... I struggled with it 12:33:07 but I wonder if the image fits the borders (more details in #fedora-magazine right now) 12:33:41 maybe could be just "Setting Up Your Bash Environment"? :) 12:33:41 For something shorter, maybe just "bash tips and tricks"? 12:33:47 or that 12:33:55 I used the template but the exporting of my images in inkscape was not correct 12:34:14 yeah possibly 12:34:15 Maybe with a leading number -- I think that is supposed to rank well in search engines or something. 12:34:56 gregbartholomew: do you want to take this one? :P 12:35:09 sure 12:35:15 glb++ 12:35:15 asamalik: Karma for glb changed to 2 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 12:36:24 quick question about title case, I've been "correcting" that on section headers, but I've seen other let it go. Should we update the workflow maybe? 12:36:48 gregbartholomew: that's up to each editor I'd say 12:37:20 we should be consistent one way or the other (I'm almost positive that I haven't) 12:37:30 oh, title case 12:37:36 * asamalik has read it wrong 12:37:41 bcotton: yep, +1 12:38:11 Well, FYI, I changed the title case to sentence case in the last latex article I edited. Maybe a series especially should be consistent. 12:38:24 maybe part of the style guide work would be to make an editorial checklist. i look at the guidelines when i edit, usually, but a checklist would help me be consistent 12:38:39 "Use sentence case for the post title and heading titles" 12:38:42 https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/tips-for-writers/ 12:38:52 and since i was going to volunteer to get the style guide started, i should really be quiet and stop adding to it :-) 12:39:10 I don't think I've ever seen sentence case used for the post title. 12:39:30 let's brainstorm all the things that should be in the style guide since it doesn't cost us any work, then! 12:40:01 :P 12:40:05 anyway 12:40:08 Here 12:40:12 #192 is in need of an editor 12:40:28 * asamalik looks at #192 12:40:39 Sorry fell asleep. Which one is 192. I should have time to edit an article this week again. 12:40:43 sorry to have taken us a bit off topic there. 12:41:12 102 is part 3 of the perl series 12:41:20 sorry #192 12:42:31 Sure I'll do it 12:43:11 * stickster returns and sees style guide discussion. Right, we do have the issue of case there. That's precisely because different cultures/languages have different ways to implement title case. Sentence case ensures uniformity no matter what an editor's native language is. 12:43:12 I'm assigned the rsync / scp article? Thought the guy who proposed it was writing 12:43:42 stickster: that is a good explanation 12:44:08 makes sense to me 12:44:36 Ah I see I was tagged on 185 mist have been an accident sorry I usually do stuff like make new cards on my phone 12:45:47 sysoplab: sorry you put the rsync / scp to in progress, so I thought it's you 12:46:02 * gregbartholomew stickster: works for me -- I'll stick to converting titles to sentence case if that is what the magazine team wants. 12:46:05 i'll unassign it and put it to the Article Spec column then 12:46:15 I did because author said it was partially written wasn't it? 12:46:40 sysoplab: I couldn't find it anywhere in wordpress, do you have a link? 12:47:16 gregbartholomew: +1, bonzer 12:47:25 so who is editing #192? 12:48:16 * bcotton will take 192 12:48:21 I will jakfrost 12:48:31 Or Ben can all good. 12:48:38 i win! :-) 12:48:50 yay! 12:48:56 assigned, moved to To Edit 12:48:59 I guess the editors like my PERL articles?! :) 12:49:01 https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issue/97 -- proposer said he will write 12:50:28 ok, thanks 12:50:35 they're not in taiga, let me invite them 12:51:43 done and assigned 12:51:53 #topic 5/ Publishing schedule 12:51:53 #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period. 12:51:53 #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. 12:51:53 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:52:08 three days, three articles, fantastic! 12:52:31 who can edit their assignment for Friday? 12:52:31 The one I edited for last Friday never published too 12:52:49 I can 12:52:50 I think Ben put it for this week Friday since the kernel one went last week 12:53:23 excellent! 12:53:29 Monday? 12:53:50 I can have #194 ready for Friday or Monday 12:54:07 monday is fine for me 12:54:23 sysoplab: oh, let me check! 12:54:52 you're right! 12:54:56 so #194 Monday 12:55:05 sure thing 12:55:07 +1 12:55:07 #179 Wednesday 12:55:13 #192 Friday 12:55:14 +1 12:56:35 #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 26 Jun 2020: #184 Fedora 32 and Docker (image: DONE, edit: DONE) -- Mon 29 Jun 2020: #194 LaTeX Typesetting – Part 2 (Tables) (image: DONE, edit: jakfrost) -- Wed 01 Jul 2020: #179 Setting Up your Bash Environment - Some Tips and Ideas (image: DONE, edit: glb) -- Fri 31 Jul 2020: #192 Demonstrating PERL with Tic-Tac-Toe, Part 3 (image: DONE, edit: bcotton) 12:56:54 +1 12:57:02 +1 12:57:03 +1 12:57:17 I'll skip the proposals today, as we need to choose the editor of the week 12:57:23 #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 26 Jun 2020: #184 Fedora 32 and Docker (image: DONE, edit: DONE) -- Mon 29 Jun 2020: #194 LaTeX Typesetting – Part 2 (Tables) (image: DONE, edit: jakfrost) -- Wed 01 Jul 2020: #179 Setting Up your Bash Environment - Some Tips and Ideas (image: DONE, edit: glb) -- Fri 31 Jul 2020: #192 Demonstrating PERL with Tic-Tac-Toe, Part 3 (image: DONE, edit: bcotton) 12:57:51 #topic 7/ Editor of the week 12:58:09 all right, any volunteer? 12:58:22 So I'll be the guinea pig 12:58:28 to be the first ever Fedora Magazine Editor of the Week? this is a historic moment! :D 12:58:31 jakfrost++ 12:58:41 I'll keep my eye on the issues like I have been but doubt I'll have enough time this week to volunteer to be available super often. 12:58:43 #info jakfrost will be Editor of the Week next week 12:58:52 I was just kidding about that jakfrost :), 12:59:04 glb: I know, me too 12:59:10 ha 12:59:22 all right, out of time, thanks everyone! 12:59:29 +! 12:59:49 #endmeeting
