13:16:48 <rrix|konv> hdaspd :D 13:17:07 <rrix|konv> beeecause, I looked at the config file, and it sets up hdaspd for sda... and sdb. 13:17:10 <rrix|konv> ooops 13:18:28 <rdieter> rrix|konv: pardon my ignorance, but what is it and where can I find it?

Symbiosis! 13:45:24 <mchua> One thing I'm pleased about is that the Spacewalk guys are going to be there and want to pow-wow with us. 13:45:45 <mchua> This is great because it shows that RH participates in upstreams other than Fedora - Spacewalk, but also deltacloud, thincrust, etc. 13:47:39 <mchua> I was able to get a bunch of Expo passes - this'll get people into the booth, get them food, everything. 13:48:02 <mchua> You'll be able to get into one track (probably the open source track). 13:48:11 <mchua> The number of passes we can get is somewhat limited. 13:48:16 <mchua> Because passes are expensive. 13:48:32 <mchua> So I want to make sure we have people at the booth. 13:48:41 <mchua> I'd like that to be a mix of volunteers, RH employees. 13:49:00 <mchua> So things we have to talk about: 13:49:02 <mchua> 1. Room schedule 13:49:04 <mchua> 2. People list 13:49:18 <mchua> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Summit_2010 13:51:09 <mchua> Paul is feeling good about how the planning for this is shaping up. 13:51:28 <mchua> We've had some discussions about having a Fedora press day - which in my mind fits very naturally into the context of a FUDCon, where it's all about Fedora. 13:51:37 <mchua> Not so well into a Summit, where the focus is supposed to be RH. 13:52:58 <mchua> Robyn: But we have this perception that the press comes, talks to people... and then the press goes out and keeps saying the wrong things. 13:53:02 <mchua> So how can we fix that? 13:53:37 <mchua> I'm sure you guys have ongoing relationships with the press, what can we do with that? 13:54:36 <mchua> Paul: I was talking with Joe Brockmeier about this kind of thing; he's back to being a freelance journalist now. 13:54:46 <mchua> About how to get the most out of your relationship with journos. 13:57:59 * mchua proposes a Fedora Press/Analyst day for after the Summit, and just tell journos at the Summit to show up then, or read its logs. 13:58:18 <mchua> #action mchua make RFC for thing-that-is-not-press-conference and send to list 13:59:42 <mchua> Mel: My purpose in suggesting this is to try to satisfy both Robyn's "we need to do PR stuff" comment and Paul's "but not distract the Summit" comment 13:59:58 <mchua> Max: *tells Mel to write up a proposal* 14:00:54 <mchua> Ben: We'll have a mailing address for swag and stuff to send to you? 14:01:07 <mchua> Paul: Yep, we'll have an address set up for shipping stuff a few months in advance. 14:01:32 <mchua> The things we got last time were things like vertical banners, etc... the kind of thing you'd do at any conference with ~1600 people. 14:02:03 <mchua> We don't need to give away media because they have the liveusb, but it's always nice to have extra CDs around. 14:03:27 <mchua> Mel: Is this an opportunity to address the RH/Fedora connection from the Fedora side - ask questions, clarify the relationship between the two? 14:03:41 <mchua> Paul: Yeah, and we can also get feedback from RH customers on Fedora, what they think of us. 14:04:58 <mchua> Mel: Are there things the Fedora community will want to learn about Red Hat? 14:05:33 <mchua> Robyn: Without being a buzzkill. 14:05:38 <mchua> Paul: I think we can effectively filter questions. 14:07:23 <mchua> Mel: I want to dispel the myth of "Red Hat as sekrit cabal puppet-master of Fedora" 14:07:26 <mchua> because that's not what it is 14:07:41 <mchua> and I'd like to do what we can in the Summit towards that - get people's questions answered 14:08:31 <mchua> Henrik: The audience is pretty different, for the Summit there's a lot of business people. 14:08:46 <mchua> At a FUDCon, it's mostly community people - so the press kits need to have different materials for each. 14:09:01 <mchua> So we have to prepare them specifically for the event. 14:09:19 <mchua> it needs to be modular. 14:09:54 <mchua> Mel: how much does that modularity look like our F12 one-page release notes? 14:09:59 <mchua> Paul: Might look a lot like it, actually. 14:10:39 <mchua> #topic Fedora and social networking 14:10:42 <mchua> Max: I'd like to talk about this some. 14:10:58 <mchua> My premise: it's better to not do it at all than to do it in a crappy way. 14:12:45 <mchua> *henrik writes "crisis PR" on agenda - what happens when something bad happens, how do we communicate it?* 14:12:51 <mchua> *mel transcribes that topic to the wiki* 14:13:34 <wonderer> mchua: and: "who" says "what" and "when"... 14:13:49 <mchua> wonderer: Aye. Yeah, I think that's a *very* good conversation to have, esp. while Kara is here. 14:14:01 <mchua> Robyn: Important things to a social networking plan 14:14:02 <wonderer> ack 14:14:05 <mchua> (1) accountability/responsibility 14:14:10 <mchua> (2) consistency (peer review) 14:14:48 <mchua> #info RH Summit an opportunity not just to show Fedora to RH people, but also to answer questions about RH and the RH/Fedora relationship that Fedora people might have; need to find ways to reach out to the Fedora community to see what they'd like to do with this, what they want to answer. 14:15:06 <mchua> (3) low drag vs high context 14:17:59 <mchua> (4) grow audience 14:18:01 <mchua> (5) consolidation 14:18:41 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: I just have one comment: a lot of what can go on twitter is easily automated 14:18:41 <ke4qqq> rbergeron: alot of what can go onto twitter is easily 14:18:42 * mchua notes that she's struggling to keep up with the bouncing convo, I can best transcribe one speaker at a time 14:19:01 * ke4qqq defers to rrix - let me know if you need me to pick it up 14:19:04 <rrix|konv> oh 14:19:06 <rrix|konv> okay 14:19:25 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: we're all really good at filtering things so i don't think we should worry so much about duplicating things as we see it all the time 14:19:56 <rrix|konv> stickster: I would offer that microblogging platforms, twitter, identica etc, are not necesarily a good place to spend a huge amount of time trying to exxert control or establish any kind of rules 14:20:00 <rrix|konv> gregdek walks in 14:20:18 <rrix|konv> stickster: we have one feed, and everyone else having hashtags, etc, to get thing noticed 14:20:35 <rrix|konv> we can have one thing, with regular consisten messages, and everyone else talking in as well 14:20:53 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: instead of a feed or whatever, we could have a "what are other people asying about fedora" 14:21:29 <rrix|konv> spevack: writes: on twitter: 1) planet, 2) fwn, 3) press hits 4) search fo fedora topics and and have some specifics 14:21:35 <rrix|konv> we need to do all of that stuffs 14:21:50 <rrix|konv> 4) is so that it isn't just pr bulls-- 14:22:25 <rrix|konv> there are 6000 followers of fedora-Linux, we should work to make it 10 or 20000 14:22:49 <rrix|konv> ke4qqq: we should not make FWN automated, but feature one or two articles from FWn 14:23:17 <rrix|konv> stickster: pcalarco releases FWN each week, it's a 30 second task to add it to hootsuite 14:23:54 <rrix|konv> spevack: we should ocnsider gaining ownership of @fedora, and getting verified accounts set up 14:23:58 <stickster> #action stickster to ask pcalarco to do this through HootSuite 14:24:03 <rrix|konv> it currently has 0 tweets 14:24:11 <mchua> rrix|konv: go ahead and say what you want to say, I'll transcribe 'till you're done 14:24:27 <rrix|konv> mchua: after verified 14:24:36 <mchua> *room is trying to explain the "twitter verified" thing* 14:24:48 <rrix|konv> stickster: twitter is currently only using verified accounts for only certain companies at the moment, not opened up 14:24:52 <mchua> stickster: the verified thing is something twitter does for people who have a well-established trademark 14:24:57 <rrix|konv> mchua: thx 14:25:01 <mchua> rrix|konv: raise your hand, worry about what you're going to say first ;) 14:25:10 <mchua> stickster: RH could probably do it with the Fedora trademark 14:25:28 <mchua> it's an open question whether a community member would have the necessary clout (trademark-wise) in the eyes of Twitter 14:25:35 <mchua> to be able to get the same thing for the Fedora trademark 14:25:46 <mchua> rrix|konv: can I go back to FWN for a sec? 14:25:49 <mchua> we have the summary for each FWN, right? 14:25:56 <mchua> and it takes 1-2 article and pulls it into something that's interesting? 14:26:10 <mchua> stickster: it does a lot, actually - summarizes every section and grabs 1-2 points from each of them 14:26:35 <mchua> rrix|konv: so maybe what we could do is, instead of having pascal do extra work 14:26:48 <mchua> have a line at the top saying "here is the first 30 words" and then have the tweet be automated. 14:26:53 <mchua> stickster: do we have a tool right now to automate that? 14:26:57 <mchua> rrix|konv: it would be easy to make. 14:27:06 <mchua> stickster: can you write it? 14:27:07 <mchua> rrix|konv: Yes. 14:27:18 <mchua> mchua: Fedora engineering services queue. 14:27:26 <ke4qqq> #action rrix to create fwn->twitter automation goodness 14:27:31 <mchua> #idea automatic parser that grabs the first 30 words of Pascal's FWN summary and tweets it. 14:27:53 <mchua> rrix|konv: keep going 'till you're done, I'm still transcribing ;) 14:28:01 <mchua> then when you're done spell me off and I have something to say 14:28:06 <rrix|konv> mchua: i'm done, you're free :) 14:28:10 <mchua> rrix|konv: thankee! 14:28:21 <rrix|konv> ke4qqq: something to keep in mind: we're bound to get some negative feedback because it's not FLOSS 14:28:32 <rrix|konv> #idea feed from identi.ca 14:28:54 <rrix|konv> stickster: we can't keep ourself in the foss corner when it comes to marketing, or we'll never epx 14:28:56 <rrix|konv> epxand 14:29:29 <rrix|konv> mchua: how can we maximize ocntributors using social media. Does more eyes == more help? ZOMG WE HAZ 2000000 view.... and no contributors from it 14:29:54 <rrix|konv> gregdek: We have to articulate call for actions in these messages. Simplify amplify our message: call to action, call to action call to action 14:30:09 <rrix|konv> VileGent: we push both things everywhere: freedom first, then call to action 14:30:33 <rrix|konv> ke4qqq: we were talking about responses. there are tons of bad tweets/dents, etc, are we responding to those? What are we supposed to respond to? 14:30:43 <mchua> Mel: Can we reframe our social media strategy as "how do we use these channels of communication to get us *more contributors*?" 14:30:43 <rrix|konv> ke4qqq: how do we deal with the trolls? 14:31:03 <rrix|konv> stickster: that's something that comes with the territory, it's easy to send off a whiny sms 14:31:15 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: :I'm gonna call the waaaambulance" 14:31:24 <rrix|konv> stickster: we do need some way of replying 14:31:50 <rrix|konv> what tends to happen now is pretty adhoc. most people include #fedora, and people who watch #fedora see it. 14:32:04 <rrix|konv> when I'm having lunch or breakfast, I'll spend a few minutes giving 14:32:12 <mchua> rbergeron: is that just you? 14:32:16 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: is it just you, or are other people responding? 14:32:21 <mchua> stickster: I'm not the only one 14:32:24 <rrix|konv> stickster: in most cases I'm not the first person to respond 14:32:32 <rrix|konv> mchua: :) 14:32:44 <mchua> rrix|konv: you go for it, let me or ke4qqq know when you need a break. 14:32:50 <rrix|konv> k 14:33:16 <rrix|konv> VileGent: I'd gladly help someone but i'm not getting on twitter 14:34:58 <rrix|konv> threethirty: what does @nih use for tweeting? 14:35:43 <mchua> rrix|konv: go, I got transcribing 14:35:47 <rrix|konv> thx 14:35:59 <mchua> spevack: should we be having every fedora tweeter/denter using the fedora account? 14:36:10 <mchua> gregdek: I use twitter to tweet things that are interesting to me 14:36:20 <mchua> and I use the hashtag to mark topics - I do that a lot more on twitter than on other things 14:36:30 <mchua> so maybe one account that does nothing but aggregate fedora tags might be useful. 14:36:44 <rrix|konv> never mind, it looks like threethirty does it by hand 14:36:45 <mchua> ke4qqq: what are we trying to present with this? are we trying to get contributors? users? 14:37:07 <rrix|konv> stickster: so, max wrote a few things (mchua transcribe plz!) 14:37:17 <rrix|konv> Proposed twitter actions 14:37:26 <mchua> stickster: right now we have a lot of one-way conversations. 14:37:31 <rrix|konv> stickster: this is a one way conversation, all we can guarantee contributors 14:37:37 <mchua> rrix|konv: transcribe the talkin' and I'll get the writing into gobby 14:37:42 <mchua> tag team ftw! 14:37:51 <rrix|konv> mchua: that's what I meant, sorry for being nonsensical :) 14:38:05 <rrix|konv> VileGent: I hope you don't mean irc #fedora 14:38:12 <mchua> #info marketing-fad-pr-day is a gobby doc with things on the board from today 14:38:12 <rrix|konv> spevack: that's the last thin we want to do :) 14:38:43 <rrix|konv> rbergeron: what if we just put out content without a real strategy, and see what people bite, what people view, and then figure it out 14:39:05 <rrix|konv> yn1v: we need to have a balance so that we don't have two much noise, or too little useful things, or people unfollow us 14:39:27 <rrix|konv> ke4qqq: f.e. tatica has something which posts all of the music she listens too all day; it drives me nutes, it's way too much noise 14:39:27 <mchua> transcribed! 14:39:32 <rrix|konv> mchua: you ROCK 14:39:38 <mchua> remotees, see the gobby doc for what Max just wrote on the board. 14:39:49 <mchua> rrix|konv: *you* rock 14:39:50 <rrix|konv> stickster: yeah, if we have too much noise, people will hate us, for sms notifications etc 14:39:52 <rrix|konv> mchua: NO U 14:39:54 <mchua> U 14:39:59 <mchua> um 14:39:59 <rrix|konv> NAY THOU 14:40:02 * mchua takes paul transcibey 14:40:15 <rrix|konv> mchua: thanks :) 14:40:16 <mchua> gregdek: so we have a few classes of messages 14:40:25 <mchua> the goal of a fedora feed should be to aggregate only those messages that are about fedora 14:40:30 <mchua> and come from people who are entrusted to speak about fedora 14:40:37 <mchua> so we have 2 entities - we have hashtag, and we have accounts. 14:40:43 <mchua> anyone who uses a hashtag has something to say about fedora. 14:40:46 <mchua> good, bad, indifferent. 14:40:51 <mchua> we want meaningful. 14:40:59 * rrix|konv has picture of the diagram for remotees 14:41:08 <mchua> so what we do is take those #fedora-tagged things 14:41:13 <mchua> and we aggregate that under the fedora ccount. 14:41:15 <mchua> account. 14:41:20 <mchua> all it does is retweet this stuff. 14:41:43 <mchua> retweet #fedora-tagged things that are "blessed" by people. 14:41:47 <mchua> we need to figure out the mechanism for "blessing" people. 14:41:53 <mchua> but we can do that at some point. 14:41:54 <hiemanshu> mchua: we dont want everything retweeted 14:42:05 <mchua> "welcome, so-and-so, to the fedora convo." 14:42:06 <hiemanshu> so someone should do it manually 14:42:18 <mchua> hiemanshu: no, we don't - that's what Greg is talking about, having people to manually filter #fedora-tagged stuff. 14:42:20 <hiemanshu> or write a really intelligent algo to do it 14:42:55 <mchua> ke4qqq: make sure that you can revoke access as well as grant it, as a policy. 14:42:59 <mchua> just in case. 14:43:41 * mchua suggests using our FAS group for this kind of thing, because right now it's pretty useless 14:43:49 <mchua> #idea ask FES to make our FAS group hook into our social media network access 14:44:28 <mchua> gregdek: well, maybe we shouldn't do that 14:44:50 <mchua> these people are already talking about us, if we say "please sign the cla before you get to talk about us in these fora" that's a blocker 14:45:16 <hiemanshu> mchua: we can get openIDs probably, and identi.ca works with openID and identi.ca to twitter mirroring is easy 14:46:47 <mchua> mchua: I'll push back, because if we want our social media strategy to get us contributors, and we say part of becoming a contributor is getting an FAS account, etc - can't we use this as a gateway "yay we love you please come join us more?" 14:47:22 <mchua> gregdek: we have to meet people where they are. we can certainly give those people more call to actions to join us further in the Fedora community, but we shouldn't set up artificial barriers where they're not needed. 14:47:49 * mchua letting that sink in a bit; I think I can separate those things. okay. 14:48:07 <ke4qqq> #action rrix to automate twitter aggregation 14:48:23 <hiemanshu> I can help rrix with that 14:48:44 <yn1v> kudos for rrix|konv 14:49:09 * hiemanshu has worked with twitter api before 14:49:29 <mchua> VileGent: Why are we only talking about twitter right now? 14:49:44 <mchua> rrix|konv: because it's all just APIs - whatever we send to twitter ,we can repoint to facebook, etc. 14:50:09 <rrix|konv> mchua: of course, but pulling from facebook, not pushing to it, is a different thing 14:50:13 <rrix|konv> basically impossible 14:50:20 <mchua> stickster: so where are we - we have more questions than answers right now. 14:50:20 <rrix|konv> for 99% of folks 14:50:29 <mchua> we need some sort of commitment to what we're going to be doing at the next marketing meeting. 14:50:42 <mchua> There are some proposed actions up here. 14:51:04 <mchua> What's easy to do next is - every person here can pick one of these items that we're going to do some research on and see how we can do this. 14:51:23 <mchua> Let's not worry about FOSS vs non-FOSS right now, because otherwise we're going to be really limited to who we can communicate to. 14:51:50 * mchua hopes threethirty will keep pushing us to use FOSS whenever possible, and to bridge to FOSS when it's not possible. 14:52:31 <mchua> yn1v: even if twitter and identica are pretty similar, the people hanging out there are very different. 14:52:47 * mchua wants to do a wrap-up video of social networking and then go see Max's presentation. 14:56:24 <stickster> We can get identi.ca to feed twitter, which means free should be pretty easy as far as *originating* communications 14:57:27 <stickster> We're going across the street for Max's presentation 14:57:36 * rrix|konv & 14:57:46 <rrix|konv> let's see if this connection will persist ;) 14:58:47 <mchua> #topic ORIENTATION VIDEO 14:58:51 <mchua> we're filming and will post right afterwards 15:12:19 <rrix|konv> hiemanshu: think of a name really fast for the tweet tool so I can RFE the fedorahosted space for it :) 15:13:47 <hiemanshu> rrix|konv: tweetgator 15:13:50 <rrix|konv> awesome 15:13:51 <rrix|konv> :D 15:13:55 <hiemanshu> :D 15:13:56 * rrix|konv RFE's 15:14:03 * rrix|konv had bad ideas :) 15:14:09 <hiemanshu> like ? 15:15:21 * rrix|konv is tempted to say Dentgator instead of Tweetgator for the not-twitter relation 15:15:50 <rrix|konv> ohey 15:16:20 <hiemanshu> tweetgator came out of tweet + aggregator 15:16:36 <rrix> awww, i don't have a redhat nat anymore 15:16:54 <hiemanshu> lol 15:16:56 <rrix> ~rrix@nat/redhat/x-snisycegfzedkdma 15:17:26 <rrix> hiemanshu: ident.ca + aggregator to minimize the ZOMG ITS NOT FOR OPEN SAUCINESS! folks 15:17:32 <rrix> in name only :) 15:17:39 <rrix> hi pcalarco ! 15:17:44 <hiemanshu> hello pcalarco 15:17:50 <hiemanshu> rrix: identgator?

Who is maintaining this over time? 16:06:24 <hiemanshu> quaid: the websites team will be 16:06:26 <quaid> our original ideal would have been a few people from Zikula, but that hasn't arisen; maybe the expectation was too much to ask for. 16:06:29 <quaid> hiemanshu: right! 16:06:30 <pcalarco> quaid: yes, absolutely, simon has been wonderful in moving this forward 16:06:49 <quaid> which is better, and hopefully simon and others who know/like Zikula will continue to participate. 16:07:08 <quaid> but, yes, in the end Fedora Project's own processes need to own this, as became obvious. 16:07:29 <pcalarco> quaid: Agreed. To what extent should be get a dev within Fedora cross-trained to back up what Simon does? 16:07:45 <quaid> it is a good point, though, that our maintenance strategy should be revisited to make it clear that Websites has the ball, then we can work on recruiting _in_ to Websites to help with this. 16:08:11 <quaid> right now we have too many points of failure, I appreciate highly that all of us are aware of this and want to fix it :) 16:08:22 <quaid> being in production, with SOP, documentation, etc. will help 16:08:53 <hiemanshu> rrix: ping 16:09:17 <pcalarco> quaid: Great, we are all on the same page, thanks! 16:09:30 <rrix> hiemanshu: pong 16:09:50 <rrix> hiemanshu: we may be heading to lunch soonish 16:10:11 <hiemanshu> rrix: looking at ticket, pointing the more downloads option to get-fedora-all only, or to the kde section? 16:14:21 <rrix> hiemanshu: when on #download, link to all else #downloads. 16:14:22 <rrix> bbl 17:07:34 <pcalarco> does anyone know when the FAD afternoon session is starting back up? 17:08:37 <hiemanshu> pcalarco: an hour or so I think 17:16:20 <pcalarco> hiemanshu: great, thanks 17:45:20 <VileGent> pcalarco_afk, ping 17:45:34 <pcalarco_afk> VileGent: Hi 17:46:26 <pcalarco_afk> I have a meeting here in 15 minutes that will take me away for about 30-40 mins. 17:46:45 <pcalarco_afk> and then I will be back around 2:35-2:45 pm ET 17:46:45 <rrix> lunch was fun 17:47:34 <mchua> pcalarco_afk: Ok - we've got your times in... sorry we missed you earlier! 17:47:36 * mchua reading backlog 17:47:55 <stickster> pcalarco_afk: We're back and will be here when you return! 17:48:01 <rrix> hiemanshu: did you get that stuff for the ticket? does it make sense? 17:48:13 <pcalarco_afk> no problem at all; great, thanks and talk to you then 17:49:04 <hiemanshu> rrix: you should see the change today 17:49:10 <hiemanshu> I am just commiting it 17:50:15 <rrix> Awesome! 17:51:33 <rrix> hiemanshu: fedorahosted done 17:51:51 <rrix> https://fedorahosted.org/identigator/ 17:51:55 <hiemanshu> rrix: saw it 17:51:58 <rrix> #link https://fedorahosted.org/identigator/ 17:51:58 <hiemanshu> rrix: add me to git 17:51:59 <rrix> k 17:52:05 <rrix> hiemanshu: you're an admin, or should be 17:52:10 <hiemanshu> rrix: not 17:52:13 <hiemanshu> nope** 17:52:14 <hiemanshu> you are admin 17:52:23 <rrix> oh, okay 17:52:34 <rrix> 1sec 17:54:24 <mchua> Identigator? 17:54:25 * mchua looks 17:54:35 <mchua> I'm still confused. 17:54:51 * mchua reads backlog 17:54:52 <mchua> gotcha 17:55:01 <mchua> identigator. 17:55:04 <rrix> mchua: my homework :) 17:55:06 * mchua can haz enlightenment. 17:55:50 <mchua> #topic Introduction to PR (Henrik) 17:56:02 <mchua> spevack, stickster, ke4qqq, rrix... can you guys transcribe? 17:56:12 <ke4qqq> mchua: yep 17:56:15 <mchua> I'm going to have a hard time splitting my attention between lipreading *and* screen and irc 17:56:19 <mchua> thanks 17:56:20 <stickster> wonderer is giving a rundown of good PR now 17:56:23 <hiemanshu> rrix: got the email, added to group part 17:56:32 <rrix> k 17:56:37 * rrix starts hacking 17:56:42 <ke4qqq> wonderer: reading what is good pr 17:56:51 <ke4qqq> are these slides up somewhere?? 17:56:59 <ke4qqq> I don't want to transcribe entire slide deck 17:57:26 <mchua> henrik's finding the slide deck link, one sec 17:57:38 <spevack> wonderer is explaining the difference between "promotion", "advertisement", and "public reations." 17:57:54 <spevack> promotion -- talking about yourself. 17:58:03 <spevack> advertisement -- making yourself look good and waiting for people to notice? 17:58:10 <rrix> we can edit the logs later 17:58:12 <spevack> public relations -- having people tell each other how good you are. 17:58:26 <mchua> And we're trying to set up the call so remotees can listen in 17:58:46 <mchua> anyone remote here? hiemanshu, quaid... anyone who wants/needs to be on the line? 17:59:24 <hiemanshu> mchua: I am 17:59:59 <hiemanshu> mchua: not gonna be on the line /me is in the middle of $dayjob 18:00:23 <mchua> hiemanshu: Ok - then we're going to be trying to log here as well as possible. 18:00:48 <ke4qqq> wonderer: talking about basics - you can't not communicate 18:01:05 <stickster> wonderer: Silence makes room for others to tell your story, which may not be the story you want to tell 18:02:18 <stickster> Basic practices: 18:02:21 <stickster> 1.

No question. 18:35:34 * tatica listening mchua :D 18:35:37 <stickster> In the case of the meteor... 18:35:59 <rrix> mchua: mind stepping into #identigator for a minute or two when you have time? 18:36:07 <mchua> stickster: basically, something that isn't a security breach but which significantly affects fedora's ability to Do Stuff 18:36:11 <mchua> rrix: coming now 18:36:20 <stickster> We'd send information to all our announcement lists, as we do with anything of that nature 18:37:01 <stickster> And if there is a need to release it to wider press -- if it involves Red Hat we'd coordinate with them on the content, and if it's purely a Fedora thing, we compose it ourselves. 18:37:39 <stickster> I do think there's opportunity to have planning for that kind of event, but at the same time in the larger view we should make sure we're not "optimizing for corner cases" in terms of prioritizing stuff to do 18:38:50 <stickster> IOW, we can have a plan for how to inform folks, but I don't think we *don't* know how to announce important things in Fedora. We probably need to get from 75% effectiveness to 99% 18:39:02 * mchua nods. 18:39:29 <stickster> The *only* reason that security problem sticks out is because we hit the absolute worst-case scenario where a problem we found in Fedora had implications for Red Hat. 18:39:44 * mchua nods 18:39:48 <stickster> s/implications/significant implications/ 18:40:04 <mchua> stickster: is this a history lesson chronicled somewhere that People Should Learn? 18:40:39 <stickster> mchua: Well, it's hard to teach history when you can't show facts behind it. 18:40:55 <mchua> mmmyeah. 18:41:09 <mchua> stickster: is this just a past that we can't really learn from, then? 18:41:14 <mchua> for various complicated reasons? 18:42:41 <stickster> well.... 18:42:48 <stickster> it's a past that maybe only a few people can learn from :-) 18:42:51 <mchua> spevack: can you transcribe the in-room convo? I'm in #identigator working out some stuff 18:43:02 <kanarip> stickster, re: Marketing FAD, Day 1 blog-post: If you really think about what makes whom more happy, or should, why isn't your typical fedora contributor / free software developer in your list of 4? 18:43:18 <stickster> and then put systems in place to make sure we can do the maximum to inform everyone if it ever happens again, heaven forfend 18:43:20 <kanarip> (FYI, link to blog post is at http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=3072) 18:43:44 <stickster> kanarip: The list of 4 describes a minimum bar 18:44:23 <stickster> So a typical Fedora contributor/free software developer easily exceeds that description, to be sure 18:44:31 <rbergeron> stickster: are we getting to...... press kit making 18:44:37 <stickster> rbergeron: I'm hoping so 18:44:39 <rbergeron> need to get back on the train here 18:44:43 <rbergeron> no ratholes :) 18:45:07 <kanarip> i think this list of 4 is very much in line with the 4 working target audiences which is why i'm saying; where's the pigs, all i see is talk of chickens 18:49:41 <kanarip> i think there's a huge difference between a "likely contributor" -even if it's the minimum bar and therefor would include the actual contributors- in terms of attracting those people vs. keeping those people interested, maybe even besides the fact that chickens are different from pigs in too many ways 18:53:58 <stickster> The point is that all of us -- contributors, casual participants, and potential collaborators -- share 90% of the things we do day to day 18:54:23 <stickster> the other 10% may be very different, certainly 18:54:25 <kanarip> and that's exactly my point as well, but the complete inverse 18:54:44 <stickster> So if we can do a better job of designing the 90% case, everyone's lives on Fedora get better 18:56:28 <stickster> And we should not necessarily try designing the 10% part, because that's where it's too difficult to reconcile those different needs 18:56:42 * stickster has call in a couple minutes and has to go afk 19:01:04 <mchua> can someone please transcribe yn1v! 19:01:05 <mchua> ? 19:01:19 <mchua> I'm *really* struggling to follow this convo 19:01:27 * rrix too :( 19:03:47 <yn1v> i will wrote what I said. 19:04:37 <yn1v> When I was working for F12 launch party I came across Press kit and was useless 19:05:04 <yn1v> I needed bcakground information, and what new about Fedora 19:06:37 <yn1v> this paper that it designed for go along a USBmedia is not useful for general newspapers, looks as if done for highly technical focused press 19:06:56 <yn1v> Bottom line I like what we have como along in the board. 19:07:16 <yn1v> * I am transcribing from board * 19:08:08 <yn1v> title => Modules for press kit 19:08:28 <mchua> thank you yn1v! 19:08:41 <mchua> yn1v: I'll transcribe the whiteboard to gobby. 19:08:58 <mchua> spevack: can you try to keep up with the convo, or... find someone to transcribe? the usual transcribers are trying to keep up with a bunch of other stuff 19:09:08 <mchua> (rrix and hiemanshu and I are in #identigator working out designs) 19:09:41 <yn1v> mchua, good ! 19:14:13 <mchua> #action mchua write a post about melkjug asking if there are interested volunteers 19:14:17 <mchua> just to remind myself 19:14:28 <mchua> #link http://radar.streetsblog.net/ 19:14:32 <mchua> is an example of melkjug 19:14:37 <mchua> (see the sliders on the right and play with them) 19:14:44 <mchua> #link https://projects.openplans.org/melkjug 19:14:59 <mchua> is the dev site, this is recently-abandoned software and a few people are trying to revive it 19:15:07 <mchua> (by recently-abandoned, I mean several-months) 19:17:39 <mchua> #topic press kit hacking 19:17:54 <mchua> People have split up into hacking on sections of the press kit. 19:17:57 <mchua> I will post the sections here. 19:18:42 <mchua> ** "About F13" blurb (Neville) 19:18:42 <mchua> ** 4 F's (Robyn) 19:18:42 <mchua> ** Pymodule (Max) 19:18:42 <mchua> ** Stats (Mel) 19:18:42 <mchua> ** Background of fedora (Ryan and Ben) 19:18:44 <mchua> ** Design spin (David) 19:18:47 <mchua> ** Security spin (Henrik ) 19:18:49 <mchua> ** USB key stuff (Russell) 19:18:52 <mchua> Any remotees here who want to help? 19:18:53 <hiemanshu> wonderer: you are working on security spin too? 19:19:00 <hiemanshu> mchua: I am on security spin 19:19:29 <mchua> We are going to come back to this at 3:45. 19:19:36 <mchua> Until then people are working on their separate sections. 19:20:31 <pcalarco> is back and on the conference line now; missed most of the press release discussion tho 19:20:37 <mchua> If you're remote and confused about what's going on, speak up and we'll fill you in :) 19:20:40 <mchua> hey pcalarco! 19:20:42 <mchua> Nice timing. 19:20:52 <mchua> pcalarco: when did you leave us - what was the last thing you heard? 19:20:55 <mchua> I'll try to recap. 19:21:29 * hiemanshu is going to call in 19:21:34 <pcalarco> mchua: I heard about the discussion with press releases, discussion of stats, then dividing up into groups to brainstorm 19:21:46 <mchua> Okay. Yes, that's pretty much it. 19:22:02 <pcalarco> sounds like a great group! :) 19:22:03 <mchua> Henrik gave us a "PR 101" overview, we talked about what the press kit has been in the past (answer: suboptimal) 19:22:11 <mchua> and what we wanted it to have for F13, and then beyond 19:22:21 <mchua> and then we split that into sections, and each person is taking a section and trying to draft it up in the next 30 minutes. 19:22:47 <mchua> pcalarco: any particular section you're interested in (or would like to add)? 19:22:59 <mchua> they're meant to be independent modules that you can plug into/out-of a document for a particular event 19:23:04 <mchua> er, a press kit document for a particular event 19:23:08 <mchua> so length is less of a concern ;) 19:23:20 <pcalarco> do we want to brainstorm on Fedora Insight yet, or is deliverables next? 19:24:18 <mchua> pcalarco: ACTUALLY. what might be really nice is writing a Fedora Insight section for the press kit 19:24:32 <mchua> that way the conversation naturally rolls over to FI next, when we get back at 3:45 pm (or 2:45 for you, I think) 19:24:46 <pcalarco> mchua: great, I will start on that 19:24:50 <mchua> pcalarco: thanks! 19:25:01 <hiemanshu> pcalarco: I can help with that if you like 19:26:06 <pcalarco> hiemanshu: sounds good; I am having problems connecting to gobby here 19:34:18 <kital> wonderer: is there a document you are working on related to the security spin? 19:43:45 <mchua> Where do I find a count of the total number of FAS accounts? 19:43:54 <mchua> I swear I've heard this question asked and answered at least twice before 19:43:56 <mchua> but I can't find it 19:44:55 <pcalarco> hiemanshu: working on this at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki//Fedora_Insight/Fedora_InsightPR 19:46:31 <mchua> spevack: y'all coming back together now? I think I mostly have my bit. 19:46:40 <mchua> It's very small and "AGH I CAN'T FIND STATS" full. 19:48:28 <spevack> mchua: yep 19:48:41 * ianweller is sort of kind of around 19:48:43 <spevack> mchua: i was just saying that I will go first, to show people how little I achieved in 30 minutes so others don't feel bad 19:48:49 <spevack> mchua: did you start with /Statistics ??? 19:49:17 <mchua> spevack: Yeah, I'm specifically trying to figure out how many contributors we have. 19:49:22 <mchua> And failing. A lot. 19:49:26 * mchua will come back in now 19:49:49 <spevack> yeah... that is a very difficult question to answer, as we've discussed. 19:49:57 <mchua> Yeah. 19:50:40 * mchua grabs the yogurt, grabs the laptop, marches forth 19:51:58 <wonderer> kital: yeah. 19:52:16 <spevack> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python_in_Fedora_13 19:52:25 <spevack> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:F13_in-depth_features 19:52:34 <spevack> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebugging 19:52:39 <spevack> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python3F13 19:53:19 <mchua> We're going around the room and explaining what we did, and shooting links into the channel of the stuff we've made. 19:54:41 <wonderer> hiemanshu.
