19:06:22 <riecatnor> I have an unofficial announcement :)
19:06:42 <riecatnor> Element as been onboarded fully! and we are working on getting the Fedora instance set up
19:07:24 <pbokoc> yeah I saw some mentions of that earlier this week
19:07:54 <riecatnor> it took *a lot* of effort behind the scenes, so this is all the more exciting for me hehe
19:08:27 <riecatnor> any more announcements or info?
19:09:44 <bt0dotninja[m]> not from my side
19:10:15 <riecatnor> #topic tickets
19:10:16 <MirnDuffy[m]1> Madeline Peck just joined Red Hat full time on my team!
19:10:38 <MirnDuffy[m]1> and she is going to be working on Fedora design tasks with me, so you will be seeing more of her around mindshare groups :-)
19:10:51 <riecatnor> MirnDuffy[m]1, that is amazing news!!
19:11:02 <MirnDuffy[m]1> (she just started and is at an appt r.n. otherwise she would be here herself to say hi!)
19:11:38 <riecatnor> happy to have Madeline around in such an official capacity :D
19:11:54 <riecatnor> also, in true form her name starts with "M" lol
19:12:06 <MirnDuffy[m]1> 😂 the Fedora M's
19:12:35 <riecatnor> I think we're pretty cool, but I am definitely biased haha
19:12:43 <riecatnor> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/294
19:13:18 <riecatnor> So this is about Contributor Link, we are actually already a part of that, but folks would like to improve the wording
19:13:41 <riecatnor> #link https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/376
19:14:33 <riecatnor> #link https://contributor.link/
19:15:05 <riecatnor> current text" The Fedora Join Special Interest Group (SIG) aims to set up and maintain channels that let prospective contributors engage with the community. The Fedora Join SIG enables people looking to join the Fedora community to converse with existing members, make friends, find mentors, and get a feeling of what and how the community does in general. The Join group also helps connect folks with first tasks for contribution.
19:15:06 <riecatnor> Needed: Many contributors
19:15:06 <riecatnor> Connect!
19:15:34 <bt0dotninja[m]> Actually the link point to the join sig IRC, that is not a bad option, but maybe we can do better
19:15:53 <riecatnor> I think the join sig makes the most sense bc they are there to greet people
19:15:57 <riecatnor> they are prepped for that
19:16:06 <riecatnor> I think we can improve the wording but still link to Join?
19:16:13 <bt0dotninja[m]> pointing by example to a welcome page with links to Element, Telegram and Docs
19:16:37 <bt0dotninja[m]> +1 to improve wording
19:17:03 <riecatnor> bt0dotninja[m], are you suggesting we make a landing page just for this? i kind of like that idea.. I also thought of "what can I do for fedora
19:18:11 <pbokoc> riecatnor, does it have to be a single paragraph?
19:18:39 <riecatnor> I see one other project that givers a paragraph with a list below
19:18:43 <bt0dotninja[m]> I was thinking in something more simple like a special page under the JoinSig Docs, but I like the idea of a new "WCIDFF"
19:18:47 <riecatnor> I am guessing they want it to be succinct
19:19:12 <riecatnor> bt0dotninja[m], that could work!
19:19:21 <riecatnor> I like the simplicity of something like we did for Akademy too https://fedoraloveskde.org/
19:19:56 <pbokoc> yeah makes sense
19:20:07 <riecatnor> They put that up in 24 hours, if we had all of the text and images, I think we could probably find someone to implement one .. web & apps team :P
19:20:10 <bt0dotninja[m]> I need to say : "So Beautiful page :)"
19:20:42 <bt0dotninja[m]> sounds great
19:21:15 <riecatnor> so there are a couple avenues to explore. I think we can improve the text to begin and give recommendations about next steps to make a landing page(docs page or static site)
19:21:50 <riecatnor> any other thoughts?
19:22:06 <bt0dotninja[m]> cool
19:23:41 <pbokoc> I added a comment with a new wording suggestion to Council/#376
19:24:17 <riecatnor> pbokoc, the council most likely won't review this again for some time. they want us to deal with it :P
19:24:23 <riecatnor> can you comment on the mindshare ticket
19:24:28 <pbokoc> oh, okay
19:25:55 <pbokoc> dammit, Ben commented on it in the meantime :))
19:26:15 <riecatnor> lol, well I guess bcotton is looking
19:26:48 <bt0dotninja[m]> :)
19:27:15 <riecatnor> thanks for the input :)
19:27:17 <riecatnor> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/293
19:27:47 <riecatnor> I have proposed dates and topics for the upcoming release party
19:28:10 <riecatnor> also social sessions
19:28:39 <riecatnor> I think we could use additional topic ideas
19:29:47 <riecatnor> do the dates work?
19:30:40 <bt0dotninja[m]> good dates +1
19:31:06 <pbokoc> well, I'm away on the 13th but it's not a big deal
19:31:29 <riecatnor> pbokoc, we will def miss you :)
19:31:50 <riecatnor> hopefully you will be able to be there for a bit on the 12th
19:32:03 <riecatnor> can ya'll comment your +1's
19:32:21 <riecatnor> I feel we are going to have to take some decisions asynchronously bc of our alternating meeting times
19:32:23 <bt0dotninja[m]> yes
19:32:26 <riecatnor> thank you :)
19:33:04 <MirnDuffy[m]1> maybe talk to Alan for gnome stuff?
19:33:29 <riecatnor> let me drop that idea to mattdm, he is working on that
19:34:04 <MirnDuffy[m]1> the other thing for the social... i found out my cousin runs a remote social gaming thing. its called beat the bomb, i can get you more infos on it if youd like, their pricing / structure etc
19:34:20 <MirnDuffy[m]1> its like an online escape room thing but it's computer hacking / retro-gaming themed
19:34:46 <riecatnor> #link https://beatthebomb.com/virtual
19:34:49 <riecatnor> this?
19:34:53 <riecatnor> it looks cool
19:35:14 <MirnDuffy[m]1> yep thats it :)
19:35:16 <bt0dotninja[m]> a lot
19:36:08 <MirnDuffy[m]1> i can see if i can get the cousin discount
19:36:09 <riecatnor> I am up for it! Usually when we do these types of events we get 12-20 people participating
19:36:13 <riecatnor> hehe yes please :)
19:36:21 <riecatnor> I will wait to hear from you before I look into it further
19:36:21 <MirnDuffy[m]1> ok cool ill reach out to him

19:38:58 <riecatnor> #link https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedoras-representation-for-hacktoberfest-2021/32744
19:39:37 <riecatnor> ok, so generally I am +1 to fedora participating in hacktoberfest
19:41:34 <riecatnor> I am wondering is hacktoberfest geared towards bringing in new contributors or is more of a socializing thing for existing?
19:41:58 <riecatnor> I have not participated previously
19:42:37 <bt0dotninja[m]> I don't remember if we do this before...
19:43:33 <pbokoc> Yeah, I've heard the name before but I have no idea what it's about
19:43:38 <bt0dotninja[m]> https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-projects-for-hacktoberfest/
19:43:43 <riecatnor> I think the plan t0xic0der set out seems good, but I am wondering about the people resources to get all of this done.. I was wondering about who participates bc it would be good to prioritize based on the audience
19:44:03 <bt0dotninja[m]> Yeah I dont get my Tshirt two years ago
19:44:13 <riecatnor> lol
19:44:33 <riecatnor> we owe you more than a tshirt bt0dotninja[m] :)
19:44:39 <riecatnor> hopefully that nest swag pack delivers soon
19:44:51 <bt0dotninja[m]> :)
19:45:23 <riecatnor> that magazine article does give some useful context.. but i do wonder about the success of the event for fedora
19:46:08 <riecatnor> in the discussion thread there was a suggestion for a badge and also using the fedora museum workadventure whcih would be cool
19:47:22 <bt0dotninja[m]> Not so much, The tickets tagged for the event was about projects of Fedora Infrastructure mainly (Medium programmer level at least)
19:47:50 <riecatnor> hmm
19:48:01 <riecatnor> maybe it would be good to ask Akash about last years expereince
19:48:07 <bt0dotninja[m]> But this year we have the Web & Apps team
19:48:10 <riecatnor> he mentions that it was successful
19:48:19 <riecatnor> i think the link you sent was for two years ago
19:49:02 <bt0dotninja[m]> yes
19:50:26 <bt0dotninja[m]> Maybe we can try it this year and collect as much data we can for decide the next year :P
19:51:15 <riecatnor> ok, i just added a comment :)
19:51:30 <bt0dotninja[m]> Super
19:51:34 <riecatnor> #topic open floor
19:52:53 <riecatnor> anyone have things for open floor today?
19:55:09 <bt0dotninja[m]> Not from me
19:56:19 <riecatnor> Yeah, I don't think I have anything today either
19:56:33 <riecatnor> thanks for meeting today, folks!
