12:06:10 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:06:43 <bcotton_> I'm close to abandoning the IoT article since I haven't been able to get peter to review it
12:07:00 <bcotton_> we're getting to the point where it's almost a full release cycle since it launched
12:07:06 <x3mboy> .hi
12:07:07 <zodbot> x3mboy: x3mboy 'Eduard Lucena' <eduardlucena@gmail.com>
12:07:14 <bcotton_> welcome, x3mboy
12:07:47 <x3mboy> It's been a while since the last time I was in an editorial board meeting
12:08:25 <bcotton_> there are a couple of other cards that seem stalled. i'll give nudges to the authors on those after the meeting
12:08:52 <bcotton_> anything else on the "in progress" cards?
12:09:26 <rlengland> I've been scanning them but so far little action
12:09:56 <bcotton_> #info Are there any upcoming test days?
12:09:58 <bcotton_> #link https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/QA/
12:10:04 <bcotton_> several ongoing or imminent. sumantro has posted commblog posts, but I guess he won't submit magazine articles
12:11:06 <bcotton_> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
12:11:08 <bcotton_> #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.
12:11:10 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:11:40 <bcotton_> so i'm confused on the status of #288
12:12:06 <bcotton_> jakfrost is listed as the editor and image maker, but rlengland made an image. and it still has the needs image tag?
12:13:15 <rlengland> It was watching it because the author had some problems with  where the text went.  Since he wrote another article I took it upon myself to use the same background
12:13:23 <rlengland> and created the image
12:14:06 <bcotton_> okay, i'll update the card. it looks like it's ready to be edited, so i'll put it in to edit for jakfrost
12:14:25 <rlengland> jakfrost assigned it to himself just after the author straightened things out
12:15:45 <bcotton_> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
12:15:47 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
12:15:48 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:16:13 <bcotton_> #270 is the only one not assigned. i'll take it since rlengland has been carrying a lot of the load lately :-)
12:17:00 <rlengland> I was uncertain about that since jakfrost said he was starting a review.
12:17:32 <bcotton_> since he didn't assign it to himself, i'm going to assume he hasn't done that
12:17:59 <bcotton_> i should be able to get this done for friday
12:18:25 <bcotton_> hm, well i'm jumping ahead a bit
12:18:34 <bcotton_> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
12:18:36 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
12:18:38 <bcotton_> #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.
12:18:39 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:18:59 <rlengland> #291 is scheduled
12:19:40 <bcotton_> is it? i don't see a date on the card and it's not in the scheduled column
12:20:31 <bcotton_> ah i see
12:20:39 <bcotton_> i rescheduled it for friday since we typically publish mwf
12:20:39 <rlengland> I didn't get in the right column
12:20:42 <bcotton_> and i'll update the card
12:20:51 <rlengland> ok, sorry 'bout that
12:21:07 <bcotton_> oh, you have it open in wordpress. will you please schedule it for the 19th?
12:21:28 <rlengland> okay
12:21:33 <bcotton_> thanks!
12:22:10 <rlengland> done
12:22:13 <bcotton_> i'm going to tag the F34 Beta announcement card I just made for Tuesday since I'm pretty confident we'll be releasing that day
12:22:56 <bcotton_> so do we want the ulauncher article to go out on monday or do we want to hold it for next friday to space it out a bit since we don't have a ton of articles ready
12:24:05 <rlengland> I say Monday
12:24:26 <bcotton_> and so it shall be!
12:24:28 <rlengland> ...well,
12:24:34 <rlengland> maybe Fri
12:24:37 <bcotton_> :-)
12:24:43 <Southern_Gentlem> mon,tuesday, skip wednesday next on friday if available
12:25:10 <rlengland> 'k   I'm a noob here.  You have the experience
12:25:58 <Southern_Gentlem> readership expects MWF so if you have MTF will not be a big surprise
12:26:22 <bcotton_> yeah, let's stick with monday. i know x3mboy has a couple of proposals and one of them might be ready by next friday :-)
12:26:33 <bcotton_> Southern_Gentlem: i'm not worried about surprise, just pacing
12:28:40 <x3mboy> I have the articles ready in MD, I just need to move them to WP
12:28:56 <bcotton_> #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 19 Mar 2021: #291 4 cool new projects to try in COPR for March 2021  (image: DONE, edit: DONE) --
12:28:58 <bcotton_> Mon 22 Mar 2021: #270 Introduction to Ulauncher (image: DONE, edit: bcotton) -- Tue 23 Mar 2021: #294 F34 Beta announcement (image: bcotton, edit: TBD)
12:29:26 <bcotton_> (except without the line break)
12:29:31 <x3mboy> I have the i3 Spin and the podcast come back articles
12:29:50 <x3mboy> I put them in discourse, since that looks like the 1st step in the workflow
12:29:56 <bcotton_> it is
12:30:44 <bcotton_> okay i'm assuming everyone agrees with the schedule since no one said anything
12:30:52 <bcotton_> #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 19 Mar 2021: #291 4 cool new projects to try in COPR for March 2021  (image: DONE, edit: DONE) -- Mon 22 Mar 2021: #270 Introduction to Ulauncher (image: DONE, edit: bcotton) -- Tue 23 Mar 2021: #294 F34 Beta announcement (image: bcotton, edit: TBD)
12:30:58 <x3mboy> Agreed
12:31:01 <bcotton_> #topic 6/ Editor of the Week
12:31:04 <rlengland> +1
12:31:20 <bcotton_> i can do it again unless rlengland wants the job
12:31:36 <rlengland> I'd rather not if that's okay
12:31:41 <bcotton_> no problem :-)
12:31:48 <bcotton_> #info bcotton will be Editor of the Week
12:31:59 <bcotton_> #topic 7/ Open floor
12:32:08 <bcotton_> i had a couple of reminders I wanted to put on the record
12:32:26 <bcotton_> just assorted stuff i've noticed over the last few weeks (including from me)
12:32:34 <bcotton_> #info Reminder: Use "Fedora Linux" or "Fedora <variant>" when talking about the os bits, not "Fedora"
12:32:36 <bcotton_> #info Reminder: When creating a card, add "Role: Editorial Board Members" as watchers
12:32:37 <bcotton_> #info Reminder: When creating a card, add the "needs image" tag unless a featured image already exists
12:32:39 <bcotton_> #info Reminder: For articles using Copr, be sure to call out that Copr is not officially supported
12:32:40 <bcotton_> #link https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/writing-guidelines/
12:32:44 <bcotton_> anything else for open floor?
12:33:09 <x3mboy> I wanted to ask a couple of things
12:33:26 <x3mboy> What's the next step after creating the discourse post?
12:33:36 <x3mboy> Who's writing the beta announcement?
12:34:37 <bcotton_> after the discussion post, editors will vote on the proposal. 2 +1s will get it approved and then it follows https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/workflow-article-proposal/
