I'll leave that one to him. 🙂 15:12:04 I did a pass on 96 so I can take it 15:12:18 I'm still waiting for the author of 118 to agree to schedule 15:12:42 card 118 comments 15:12:56 🔹 card 118 comments 15:12:56 comments:... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/d68dc037dfcb7f54580bbc35b2246fa7f41be64a) 15:13:08 Oh thanks, I missed that 15:13:41 I'll read it again and check if there are last minute suggestions 15:14:42 So I guess that leaves me with 116. 🙂 15:16:02 116 is pretty much just narrative and should be real fast for you. 15:16:15 I can do it if you like 15:16:19 I was just looking at it. 15:16:21 It does look pretty bland. But I don't see any obvious problems. 15:16:59 I'll take it just so it does look like Richard is doing all the work. 😛 15:17:26 (even though for the most part he is) 15:18:03 😛 15:18:03 rlengland++ for updating the sidebar btw 15:18:03 glb: Karma for rlengland changed to 1 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 15:18:30 I need to get that documented before it goes fallow and I don't remember how I did it. 15:19:15 Oh, about that ... I think it would be good to include in the documentation that it should like to getfedora.org. 15:19:53 ? 15:20:52 There was a kerfuffle about that in the Fedora Magazine channel. I took care of it this time. 15:21:17 s/like/link/ 15:21:34 I've been out of the loop. Apparently I missed it. 15:21:53 It wasn't a big deal. But it should be documented. 15:22:23 Oh, you mean a link in the side bar to getfedora.ort. I got it. 15:22:33 I'll add that 15:22:41 *org 15:22:46 OK. Let's see if I can get back on track. 🙂 15:22:56 🔹 list 15:22:57 #info 118: USB Device Emulation (author: jtornosm) (fpca: signed) (status: review) 15:22:58 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/118 15:22:59 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36424&preview=true 15:23:00 #info 116: 5 common errors in automation (author: gscarbor) (fpca: signed) (status: review) 15:23:00 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/116 15:23:00 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36483&preview=true 15:23:00 #info 096: How to rebase to Fedora Linux 36 on Silverblue (author: zlopez) (fpca: signed) (status: review) 15:23:00 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/96 15:23:01 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36381&preview=true 15:23:14 🔹 move 118 → 15:23:14 card 118 moved to 'to-edit' 15:23:27 🔹 move 96 → 15:23:28 card 96 moved to 'to-edit' 15:23:36 🔹 move 116 → 15:23:41 card 116 moved to 'to-edit' 15:23:44 🔹 next topic 15:23:50 #topic 4/ articles to edit 15:23:51 #info Looking at the 'to-edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator. 15:23:51 #link board: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/boards/articles 15:23:51 #info 119: F36 release announcement (author: bcotton) (fpca: signed) (status: to-edit) 15:23:51 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/119 15:23:52 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36450&preview=true 15:23:52 #info 118: USB Device Emulation (author: jtornosm) (fpca: signed) (status: to-edit) 15:23:52 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/118 15:23:53 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36424&preview=true 15:23:53 #info 116: 5 common errors in automation (author: gscarbor) (fpca: signed) (status: to-edit) 15:23:54 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/116 15:24:25 #info status: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/96 15:24:26 #info preview: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=36381&preview=true 15:24:26 #info 095: What's New in Fedora 36 Workstation?

On my Firefox it shows up as really small. Haven't tried another browser yet 15:34:17 Hopefully that is enough that you can find them. 15:34:36 Sure. 15:34:55 Media library as in WordPress? 15:34:57 Or if you want so practice, you could submit a PR. 🙂 15:35:11 Yes -- WordPress' Media Library. 15:35:27 s/so/some/ 15:35:49 There should be five files. 15:35:56 I'll take a look 15:36:11 There were three groups that essentially did the same study. 15:36:32 They each submitted a PDF report about their findings. 15:36:44 They also recorded video presentations. 15:37:20 But the third group put their video on a proprietary platform that I could not download from. 15:37:43 So we only have the video presentations from teams one and two. 15:38:26 I think we should try to file Pagure issues against the theme for each of the findings that we want to address. 15:38:40 Then we would work on getting PRs done for them. 15:38:57 👍️. 15:39:25 So I'll let you all review the materials and you can provide feedback at the end of next week's meeting. 15:39:27 Sound good? 15:39:56 👍️. 15:39:57 Alright then. 15:40:04 Anything else? 15:40:19 "They had lots of suggestions." <- I have a suggestion too: we should modify the preformatted texts and use `overflow: scroll;` in the CSS to make the content inside it scroll instead of wrap 15:40:46 I guess that sounds OK. 15:40:47 Having code and shells wrapped around makes it unreadable, and gets worse on mobile 15:40:57 Does that work properly on phones and tablets? 15:41:14 Can they scroll sideways on phones? 15:41:19 Yes, I use it on my website and it's effective 15:41:30 You just swipe in the box and it scrolls 15:42:05 OK. TheEvilSkeleton can you create an issue in the Pagure repo for the theme so we don't forget about it? 15:42:44 https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme 15:42:53 Thanks 15:43:17 Also, there is a bug in the current theme for the media icons that I need to fix. 15:44:19 I'll get it fix before the next meeting and then I'll have everyone who is going to work on the theme do a pull to be sure they are working from the latest version before creating branches/PRs. 15:44:40 s/fix/fixed/ 15:44:44 Done https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme/issue/42 15:45:07 Anything else? 15:45:24 not from me 15:45:36 going once 15:45:41 Give me a sec 15:45:46 uh oh 15:45:59 I'm not sure why, I had some suggestions before but I forgot about them 😅 15:46:33 You can file issues against the theme repo at any time so that that doesn't happen. 🙂 15:47:03 Right, one issue I always have is logging in. I have https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php bookmarked so it's easily accessible, but there should be a button to login in 15:47:24 I think that was mentioned in the usability report. 15:47:37 I think it is really only a problem for the editors though. 15:48:00 The "About" in fedoramagazine.org is really difficult to read as well 15:48:01 * TheEvilSkeleton uploaded an image: (9KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/fedora.im/9bf67a7632f9f38f1774db8fe02a26dc731f0fc8/image.png > 15:48:06 I think WordPress has a separate system that can be used for the comments. 15:48:23 Yeah, Richard just filed an issue about that. 15:48:55 I don't want it to take up too much space on small smartphone screens. 15:48:56 ...well, I mentioned it. Do you want an issued filed on that ? 15:49:02 But I think it can be a little larger. 15:49:14 Oh, I thought you created an issue. 15:49:35 Yes, it is a good idea to keep track of these things with Pagure issues. 15:49:47 'k 15:50:24 Thanks Richard and TheEvilSkeleton. 15:50:37 Anything else? 15:50:41 going once 15:50:48 Fully flat design would be nice too, I'll open an issue on it so we can discuss there 15:50:53 Adios 15:51:01 going twice 15:51:09 #endmeeting
