15:05:24 <rlengland> looks close to being ready but not moved to review yet
15:06:04 <rlengland> Lots of items hanging in In Progress with no or little action. Many if not most have been pinged in the last 2-3 weeks.
15:07:07 <rlengland> Need to make another pass through them to "stir things up abit"
15:07:26 <rlengland> #info Are there any upcoming test days?

15:08:00 <rlengland> Card #388 is open for this as well as  CoreOS and Cloud, though the latter 2 do not appear on the QA calendar

15:13:28 <rlengland> Not certain of process for changing side bar. Will have to research
15:14:10 <rlengland> I assume part of the release team will com forward for the Final release announcement but we have time
15:14:27 <rlengland> same for "Rebasing..."
15:15:37 <rlengland> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
15:15:37 <rlengland> #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.
15:15:37 <rlengland> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:16:01 <rlengland> @glb  still has the one REVIEW articles assigned and scheduled but  held until 22 Oct    #378 MAKE MORE with Inkscape Papercraft
15:16:01 <rlengland> This is really done.
15:17:06 <rlengland> Things are looking pretty sparse for next week
15:17:25 <rlengland> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
15:17:25 <rlengland> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
15:17:25 <rlengland> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:17:43 <rlengland> Article #359 MAKE more with Inkscape Stroke Fonts  Scheduled for 1 Oct
15:17:43 <rlengland> Article #385 Docker and Fedora 35   rlengland to edit  Scheduled for 19 Oct week of F35 release
15:18:47 <rlengland> Perhaps a sweep through the In Progress will turn up some thing for the near term
15:19:03 <rlengland> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
15:19:04 <rlengland> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
15:19:04 <rlengland> #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.

15:23:01 <rlengland> #topic 6/ Editor of the Week
15:23:01 <rlengland> rlengland would like not to be EOW next week.
15:23:35 <rlengland> no takers, I see...
15:23:46 <rlengland> #info rlengland will be Editor of the Week next week
15:24:16 <rlengland> #topic 7/ Open floor
15:24:42 <rlengland> well don't all talk at once  :-)
15:25:09 <rlengland> At the risk of repeating myself:
15:25:12 <rlengland> Topic is “How to handle serial articles”
15:25:12 <rlengland> Repeat from last 2 weeks, for the record:
15:25:12 <rlengland> Not certain using subtasks for serial articles is going to work. I haven’t found a good way to make the status (In Progress, Review, To Edit) visible on the KanBan dashboard.  You need to look at each card with sub-tasks to see what their status is.
15:25:12 <rlengland> Also it is possible to assign an editor to the main task as well as to the sub task. This might be handled by documentation but is also a bit confusing.  (I fear we are starting to bend a tool to a task for which it was not designed and there could be a breaking point where there is more confusion than benefit. :-/ )
15:25:15 <rlengland> And...the podman script “magazine-schedule” does not “see” items that are sub-tasks.
15:25:51 <rlengland> I still haven't look at git to see if it would be any better per TheEvilSkeleton's suggestion
15:26:25 <rlengland> and I declare this meeting over by unanimous consent
