22:04:27 <stickster> #topic Retrospective
22:05:26 <stickster> OK, first off, mad props to jflory7 for filling in with the Mumble story since I managed to fumble on the systemd post thanks to all the gastric mess
22:05:39 <stickster> #info Thanks jflory7 for mumble post fill-in!
22:05:51 <jflory7> stickster: No worries, it happens - hope you get to feeling better soon before the holidays officially begin :)
22:06:03 <iambryan> jflory7++
22:06:10 <zodbot> iambryan: Karma for jflory7 changed to 18 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
22:06:10 <stickster> I spoke to ryanlerch yesterday and he was going to work on nuntius post for tomorrow
22:06:17 <stickster> Finally feeling better for real today
22:06:40 <jflory7> Glad to hear it :)
22:06:44 <jflory7> And sounds good about nuntius.
22:06:46 <jzb> jflory7: +1 to that
22:06:50 <stickster> jflory7: I think the Mumble story didn't get any social media, though, did it?
22:06:59 <jzb> (stickster feeling better, I mean)
22:07:14 <jflory7> stickster: I don't believe so. I hit Reddit with it, but I don't think the official channels got word of it
22:07:29 * stickster can remedy that, jflory7, if you want to take over for a moment here
22:07:38 * jflory7 nods
22:07:54 <stickster> We should probably move ahead and look at what's going to fill up the next two weeks... starting with list from last week's minutes
22:07:59 <jflory7> So, nuntius will be the last article to wrap up this week
22:08:04 <jflory7> Yeah, had that schedule pulled up now
22:08:37 <jflory7> #info Schedule decided on from last week: Mon Dec 21 - Picard; Wed Dec 23 - Cinnamon; Thu Dec 24 - Varnish
22:09:02 <jflory7> Picard can definitely be done by Monday. I was planning on having it finished tonight
22:09:12 <jflory7> I'm also working on the Cinnamon article with Kohane
22:09:22 <jflory7> Hoping to also have that one polished and scheduled tonight
22:09:23 <jzb> jflory7: not to backseat drive, but...
22:09:35 <jzb> jflory7: publishing on the 24th?
22:09:44 <jzb> might not get a ton of attention?
22:10:24 <iambryan> .hello iambryan 21, 22 and 23rd?
22:10:24 <zodbot> iambryan: Sorry, but you don't exist
22:10:33 <iambryan> iambryan 21, 22 and 23rd?
22:10:39 <jflory7> jzb: I think we were thinking that it might get more attention with folks being at home, but in retrospect, Christmas Eve might not be the best publication date. :)
22:10:56 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Any news on the Varnish article?
22:11:08 <jzb> jflory7: yeah. I mean, I get publishing during the holiday break, but I'd avoid the 24th, 25th, and 31st/1st.
22:11:14 * jflory7 nods
22:11:27 * decause thinks that sounds reasonable
22:11:29 <jflory7> We could have Varnish go out on the following Monday to start the next week off with a bang
22:11:31 * stickster returns with media all social'ed and whatnot
22:11:36 <decause> stickster++
22:11:39 <jflory7> stickster++
22:12:21 <jflory7> So, do we want to officially push Varnish into the following Monday?
22:12:31 * stickster would be OK with that
22:12:34 <decause> +1
22:12:39 <stickster> oops, +1
22:12:43 <jflory7> #agree Move Varnish from Thu Dec. 24 to Mon Dec. 28
22:12:58 <stickster> look puiterwijk, more time. Aren't you sysadmins always looking for that?
22:13:09 <decause> :P
22:13:21 <jflory7> I also know cprofitt has two HDYF articles on deck - one of which is actually ready, with nirik, come to think of it
22:13:36 <jflory7> That would be easy-peasy publish for the following Wednesday
22:13:39 <puiterwijk> I also have an idea for an article regarding openid as I said
22:13:48 <stickster> jflory7: +10!
22:14:08 <puiterwijk> (new template)
22:14:12 <stickster> jflory7: I would love to just have some easy-push things for Dec 28 - Dec 30
22:14:32 <puiterwijk> jflory7: I think we agreed you'd look at it around the 20th, right? (the varnish article)
22:14:37 <stickster> jflory7: So +1 on varnish, HDYF nirik, HDYF <person>
22:14:59 * decause raises hand for elections article question when we can get to it
22:15:01 <jflory7> I see: Dec. 28, Varnish; Dec. 30, HDYF nirik, and end publishing that week
22:15:03 <stickster> puiterwijk: Yeah, we're simply talking about push date at this point
22:15:09 <stickster> Hm, we have the wrong topic
22:15:16 <jflory7> Thurs. is Dec. 31, Friday is Jan. 1.
22:15:17 <stickster> #topic Next two weeks scheduling
22:15:33 <stickster> jflory7: I'd do 28, 29, 30
22:15:40 <jflory7> ^^ Would also like to get decause's article out either tomorrow or early early next week
22:15:42 * jflory7 nods
22:15:50 <stickster> We *can* expect plenty of readers looking at their shiny new devices after Xmas
22:15:54 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Yeah, 20th sounds right to me. :)
22:16:27 <jzb> are there any really nifty new devices out that work with or on or whatever Fedora?
22:16:31 <jflory7> So, really quick, here's a really succinct overview of what I have in mind for the rest of the month with publishing:
22:16:34 <puiterwijk> Okay. Do we have a moment anywhere in the next week or two for the new theme article? As I'd like to get that out as soon as possible, to give people the most time to absorb and notice it
22:16:43 * puiterwijk awaits the overview
22:17:38 <stickster> jzb: This bottle of bourbon
22:17:58 <jflory7> Dec. 18, nuntius / Elections news (decause); Dec. 21, Picard / Elections news (depends on turnaround + image); Dec. 23, Cinnamon; Dec. 28, Varnish; Dec. 29, HDYF; Dec. 30, Fedora Security Lab article (?)
22:18:12 <jzb> "10 Holiday Drinks that Go Great with Fedora"
22:18:22 <stickster> "You won't believe #5"
22:18:33 <jflory7> The Security Lab article needs an initial edit, but there's plenty of time until then and I can definitely work with the original author on that.
22:18:35 <jzb> "Paul Frields drank 5 glasses of Egg Nog, you won't believe what happened next"
22:18:41 <iambryan> "Trust us on #8"
22:18:44 <jflory7> Heheh
22:19:06 <jzb> jflory7: I can edit one or two things over break if need be.
22:19:08 * iambryan shudders at the thought of egg nog
22:19:44 <stickster> jflory7: This schedule you just published would work fine. If we had the extra HDYF lined up for ~Jan 4 or 5, that would be great
22:20:13 <stickster> I don't know what the security lab article is -- who's doing that, and is it ready for an editor to review?
22:20:27 <jflory7> jzb: If anything, maybe the Varnish article since I'm super familiar with that side of things, but I know puiterwijk is pretty savvy with content too. :)
22:20:38 <iambryan> That one came up on the list
22:20:42 <jflory7> stickster: Yeah, I definitely think the other one cproffit is working on would be ready by then
22:20:52 <jflory7> stickster: Security Lab is davinia, a new writer
22:20:56 <jflory7> .fasinfo davinia
22:20:57 <zodbot> jflory7: User "davinia" doesn't exist
22:20:58 <jzb> jflory7: you are or aren't familiar?
22:21:11 <jflory7> jzb: I'm not personally familiar with the topic. :)
22:21:22 <puiterwijk> jflory7: you said "I'm super familiar" :-)
22:21:28 <jflory7> .fasinfo dasipar
22:21:28 <zodbot> jflory7: User: dasipar, Name: Davinia Siles, email: daviniasiles@gmail.com, Creation: 2015-10-14, IRC Nick: None, Timezone: UTC, Locale: es, GPG key ID: None, Status: active
22:21:31 <zodbot> jflory7: Unapproved Groups: magazine
22:21:35 <zodbot> jflory7: Approved Groups: marketing cla_done cla_fpca
22:21:36 <puiterwijk> Notice the missing "not" :-)
22:21:44 <jflory7> Whoops, I think I'm typing faster than I'm thinking, puiterwijk :)
22:21:51 <puiterwijk> I see!
22:22:18 <jzb> jflory7: put me down for Varnish, then.
22:22:23 <Kohane> Hello!
22:22:46 <iambryan> .hello Kohane
22:22:49 <zodbot> iambryan: Sorry, but you don't exist
22:22:53 <puiterwijk> jflory7: but as said: would there anywhere this year be an option for the theme? I'd say preferably soon. (I can finish that one tonight as it's pretty low on content and more heavy on screenshots).
22:23:17 <jflory7> Davinia did share her article with the list, and it looks pretty complete as-is. It needs some editing + organization love, but otherwise, it appears to be a short, brief overview of what it is and some of the tools available. On the list, it also seemed like someone who works with that spin was interested in reviewing too.
22:23:20 <jflory7> jzb: Noted :)
22:23:23 <puiterwijk> (I'm planning on bringing the new theme live in the first two weeks of the new year)
22:23:47 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Ooh, right, OpenID! I would think that could go out even next Tuesday if it were ready, that day is wide open
22:23:53 <jflory7> Oh oh, new year
22:24:04 <stickster> jflory7: That's cool. If you're able to bring that into the mix, it looks like the image is already done -- so +1
22:24:18 <jflory7> Yeah, all the better, it could definitely help build the schedule for that following week.
22:24:28 <jflory7> .hello lailah
22:24:29 <zodbot> jflory7: lailah 'Sylvia Sánchez' <LailahFSF@gmail.com>
22:24:30 <Kohane> .hello lailah
22:24:32 <zodbot> Kohane: lailah 'Sylvia Sánchez' <LailahFSF@gmail.com>
22:24:34 <jflory7> There you go, Kohane :)
22:24:36 <jflory7> Whoops!
22:24:38 <puiterwijk> jflory7: sure. As said, I can finish it tonight (well, tonight US time... for me it's fast moving towards "early tomorrow")
22:24:55 <iambryan> Hi Kohane
22:25:04 <jflory7> Welcome Kohane :)
22:25:14 <jflory7> puiterwijk: You mean for the OpenID article, right?
22:25:19 <puiterwijk> jflory7: yeah
22:25:29 <jflory7> If so, then no major rush right now, I would think, if you want it to go out over the New Year.
22:25:40 <puiterwijk> jflory7: no, I want to get it out way before
22:25:46 <Kohane> Hi all! Thanks!
22:25:47 <jflory7> Oh, so like next week then?
22:25:56 <puiterwijk> Well, I'm doubting.
22:26:15 <puiterwijk> I want as many people as possible to see it (since they should know abotu the upcoming change), and give them enough time to process
22:26:27 <jflory7> I see.
22:26:39 <puiterwijk> I'm going to put a banner on the login page from the moment the article is up with a link to it
22:26:51 <puiterwijk> "A new UI is upcoming! Click here for more info." or the like
22:26:53 <iambryan> puiterwijk: is the draft on the magazine yet?
22:26:55 <jflory7> The only thing potentially blocking it would be a featured image, but worst case, that could be a screenshot if ryanlerch or stickster are unavailable to make an image.
22:27:01 <stickster> jflory7: puiterwijk: What if we try to publish it as soon as possible when ready, including as a 2nd article same-day with something else?
22:27:22 <jflory7> I'm +1 for this being a same-day article too, it would be a short newsy post anyways.
22:27:22 <Kohane> An image for what? Sorry
22:27:49 <puiterwijk> Oh, and it will probably send even more people to the magazine, since they'll have a link to it in their face everytime they log in :-)
22:27:49 <jflory7> Kohane: Every article usually has a featured image to go along with the publication - like on the homepage of fedoramagazine.org and at the top of every article.
22:27:53 <puiterwijk> (to any Fedora service)
22:27:53 <stickster> Kohane: We're talking about puiterwijk's article right now.
22:28:09 <Kohane> But I don't remember which one is...
22:28:28 <puiterwijk> Kohane: it's an article about an upcoming change to the login system's theme
22:28:34 <Kohane> Ah!
22:28:40 <Kohane> Okay, thanks
22:28:44 <Kohane> Now I get it
22:28:59 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Heheh, right. So, maybe you can tell us what day you'd think you would have a first draft ready? :)
22:29:09 <puiterwijk> jflory7: in about one or two hours?
22:29:26 <puiterwijk> As said, it's mostly screenshots, and a very small bit of background info.
22:29:30 <jflory7> lol!
22:29:41 <jflory7> Okay, I'm trying to picture where this fits into the schedule.
22:29:59 <Kohane> Wow! Now that's fast! LOL
22:30:15 <jflory7> This also goes hand in hand with the Elections article with decause too, since that one is a fairly "hot news" article
22:30:31 <Kohane> Good
22:30:34 <jflory7> I see nuntius + OpenID + Elections wrapping around each other
22:31:33 <jflory7> decause and I also had some questions about what we want to do with the Elections article.
22:31:49 <jflory7> Depending on what we do, it could be nuntius + Elections = tomorrow, OpenID + Picard = Monday
22:32:18 <decause> i have a full draft copy in the magazine queue
22:32:41 <Kohane> I think I saw it yeah...
22:33:46 <jflory7> The thing that we were deciding upon were whether we wanted to do a near duplicate to what went out on the CommBlog last night or just do a brief summary and pointer article on the Magazine to the CommBlog article.
22:33:58 <jflory7> I'm leaning more towards doing the pointer / summary on the Mag
22:34:14 <stickster> jflory7: I'm making a featured image for puiterwijk in advance right now
22:34:24 <jzb> jflory7: +1 summary
22:34:27 * decause is good either way
22:34:35 <puiterwijk> stickster: you want a screenshot of the new system?
22:34:42 <Kohane> I think is better a brief summary with a link to the CommBlog
22:34:43 <stickster> puiterwijk: What's the title of the article? "Fedora login has changed" ?
22:34:46 <stickster> puiterwijk: sure
22:34:47 <jflory7> The CommBlog article is chucked full of good info and data about the Elections that are of high interest of contributors, so I definitely think getting out a Magazine article ASAP is good.
22:35:01 <jflory7> stickster: With that in mind, maybe OpenID tomorrow, Elections Monday.
22:35:24 <Kohane> Ye, looks fine to me
22:35:25 <stickster> "New and improved Fedora OpenID login"
22:35:25 <jflory7> So do we all agree on the pointer article then?
22:35:32 <Kohane> yes
22:35:37 <puiterwijk> stickster: I'm thinking "New look and feel for Fedora Login upcoming" or something
22:35:47 <Kohane> Isn't that too long?
22:35:48 <stickster> ah better: "Fedora OpenID login: New and improved"
22:35:49 <decause> +1
22:35:52 <iambryan> jflory7: +1
22:35:58 <Kohane> +1
22:36:05 <jflory7> #agree Elections Retrospective article to be a summary and point to full CommBlog article, jflory7 and decause will collaborate on having ready for Monday
22:36:11 <puiterwijk> stickster: looks good
22:36:33 <jflory7> #action jflory7 / decause Work on having Elections Retrospective article ready for Monday
22:36:34 <Kohane> Ye
22:36:39 <jflory7> Oh, yeah
22:36:54 <jflory7> #info jzb will help edit and review puiterwijk's Varnish article over the holiday
22:37:16 <decause> #action decause/jflory7 prepare election pointer post. due monday
22:37:26 <decause> :)
22:37:27 <jflory7> puiterwijk: I can help out with the editing for the OpenID article tonight, I'll be free for a large span of time tonight
22:37:30 <Kohane> So good
22:37:31 <jflory7> decause++
22:37:47 <puiterwijk> jflory7: sounds good
22:38:04 <jflory7> #action jflory7 / puiterwijk Collaborating on the OpenID article for publication tomorrow; stickster creating featured image
22:38:26 <Kohane> Perfect!
22:38:38 <jflory7> So, I think the schedule is looking in place now. Let me put it together one more time:
22:39:41 <jflory7> Dec. 18, nuntius / OpenID (puiterwijk); Dec. 21, Picard / Elections news (decause); Dec. 23, Cinnamon; Dec. 28, Varnish; Dec. 29, HDYF; Dec. 30, Fedora Security Lab article; Jan. 4, HDYF (next person)
22:39:51 <jflory7> Does this look solid?
22:40:01 <Kohane> Ye
22:40:05 <jflory7> Cinnamon includes me and Kohane :)
22:40:14 <Kohane> Yep :3
22:40:44 <decause> +1
22:41:27 <jzb> jflory7: +1
22:41:31 <Kohane> +1
22:42:19 <stickster> jflory7: puiterwijk: *: new image --> https://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/images/new-fedora-login.jpg
22:42:23 <stickster> look decent enough?
22:42:33 <jflory7> stickster++ looks great to me!
22:42:34 <puiterwijk> stickster: looks good, thanks
22:42:56 <Kohane> Wait... let me see...
22:43:03 <iambryan> stickster++
22:43:03 <zodbot> iambryan: Karma for pfrields changed to 7 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
22:43:15 <jflory7> stickster: Does the above schedule look good to you as well?
22:43:36 <stickster> Looks great to me. +1.
22:43:37 <Kohane> Ah! Now I see
22:43:41 <jflory7> #agree Holiday publishing schedule approved
22:43:42 <Kohane> Looks good
22:43:59 <jflory7> #info Holiday Publishing Schedule: Dec. 18, nuntius / OpenID (puiterwijk); Dec. 21, Picard / Elections news (decause); Dec. 23, Cinnamon (Kohane); Dec. 28, Varnish; Dec. 29, HDYF; Dec. 30, Fedora Security Lab article; Jan. 4, HDYF (next person)
22:44:05 <decause> brb
22:44:07 <Kohane> +1
22:44:29 <jflory7> That sums up all of our drafts, really
22:44:38 <Kohane> decause:  sorry for the silly question but... what is brb?
22:44:38 <jflory7> There is the Shotwell article, but that one may need more time
22:44:45 <jflory7> Kohane: brb = be right back :)
22:44:52 <Kohane> Ah! Thanks
22:45:25 <Kohane> Well, it's not that complex...  Shotwell I mean
22:45:28 <iambryan> jflory7 we had also discussed drafting an "installing" Fedora piece to use as a reference so spin articles
22:45:41 <jflory7> Only articles for the future to keep in mind are: cgroups, Cockpit overview, systemd part 8, and Shotwell alternatives
22:45:50 <jflory7> iambryan: Ah, yeah, taking from Kohane's Cinnamon article.
22:46:03 <iambryan> yes, that's the one
22:46:09 <Kohane> My article became popular! Haha!
22:46:11 <jzb> have to duck out for dinner
22:46:23 <jzb> jflory7: please feel free to ping me if there's something else I can edit for you.
22:46:26 <iambryan> Kohane it did :)
22:46:36 <Kohane> So good! :D
22:46:38 <jflory7> jzb++ Thanks for coming out tonight!
22:46:45 <jflory7> I think it might be good to let the Cinnamon article go out with those steps as is, but I like the idea of recycling the content for a later article strictly about installing
22:46:51 <jflory7> Or, maybe...
22:46:58 <Kohane> Maybe?
22:47:27 <iambryan> send it as is and then draft up a "Very" detailed n00b friendly version?
22:47:43 <jflory7> iambryan: Yeah, actually, that is what I'm leaning towards, personally
22:47:51 <jflory7> Get a lot of Anaconda screenshots and whatnot
22:47:56 <Kohane> Yeah, I agree
22:48:03 <decause> back
22:48:08 <jflory7> This would be good for January, I think
22:48:17 <Kohane> Yes
22:48:18 <stickster> puiterwijk: The featured image is now in the media library; you can set it when you're ready in the editor, on the right side.
22:48:21 <iambryan> I will throw a pitch together for that
22:48:26 <puiterwijk> stickster: okay, thanks
22:48:53 <Kohane> My article still needs an image for the installation part, I think...
22:48:59 <Kohane> But I have none
22:49:33 <jflory7> #info Future Outlook: cgroups (ryanlerch), Cockpit overview (ryanlerch), Shotwell alternatives (cprofitt), systemd part 8 (stickster), Installing Fedora - simplified article (Kohane's Cinnamon article)
22:49:41 <jflory7> I think those are good to keep in mind for January
22:49:52 <Kohane> Yes
22:49:58 <jflory7> Unless there's other things to look at, I think the last ten minutes should be for the two new pitches.
22:50:13 <Kohane> Yes, fine for me
22:50:27 * decause nods
22:50:38 <jflory7> iambryan: Thanks, that will help put it on the map!
22:50:41 <stickster> agreed
22:50:44 <jflory7> stickster++ sounds good about the featured image
22:50:54 <jflory7> #topic Pitches
22:51:05 <jflory7> So, I've been meaning to bring this up for a while--
22:51:17 <jflory7> But I put in a new series proposal for future consideration a few weeks ago...
22:51:27 <jflory7> And someone happened to put together an i3 one without me even saying anything :)
22:51:29 <jflory7> Let me grab links.
22:51:35 <stickster> Yeah, I love it :-)
22:51:43 <Kohane> I saw it
22:51:56 <jflory7> #info * New series proposal: Window managers and Fedora
22:52:00 <jflory7> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10884&preview=true
22:52:21 <jflory7> #info * Getting started with the i3 tiling manager in Fedora
22:52:23 <jflory7> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11254&preview=true
22:52:42 <jflory7> Author is William Moreno. /me tries to remember his FAS username
22:52:55 <Kohane> I know that name...
22:53:04 <Kohane> But I don't remember who is!
22:53:06 <Kohane> LOL
22:53:28 <jflory7> .fasinfo williamjmorenor
22:53:31 * decause has got nothin
22:53:31 <zodbot> jflory7: User: williamjmorenor, Name: William Moreno, email: williamjmorenor@gmail.com, Creation: 2012-06-24, IRC Nick: williamjmorenor, Timezone: America/Managua, Locale: es, GPG key ID: , Status: active
22:53:34 <zodbot> jflory7: Approved Groups: +packager docs cla_fpca cla_done ambassadors designteam freemedia videos fedorabugs fudcon +fedora-ni
22:53:55 <jflory7> There's no content in the pitch, but I like the idea and see nothing blocking it from being written.
22:54:04 <jflory7> +1 to i3 article from me
22:54:04 <Kohane> Good
22:54:19 <decause> +1 i3
22:54:21 <Kohane> He's on LATAM group
22:54:23 <Kohane> Want me to ask him?
22:54:28 <Kohane> +1
22:55:39 <jflory7> Kohane: Might be good to ping him after meeting to let him know his pitch is greenlighted :)
22:55:51 <jflory7> stickster: Pitch idea look good to you?
22:55:52 <Kohane> Excellent
22:55:54 <Kohane> I'll do so
22:56:30 <stickster> jflory7: Looks AWESOME to me.
22:56:33 <jflory7> #agree All green lights for drafting the i3 window manager article! :)
22:56:42 <stickster> \o/
22:56:44 <jflory7> #action williamjmorenor Proceed with drafting the i3 article
22:56:58 <jflory7> Last pitch:
22:57:04 <jflory7> #info * IRC - the nice monster
22:57:06 <jflory7> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11210&preview=true
22:57:14 <Kohane> Ah! That's mine
22:57:16 <puiterwijk> jflory7: a first draft: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11272&preview=true
22:57:18 <jflory7> Maybe a different title, but I like the idea of a starter guide for IRC
22:57:27 <jflory7> puiterwijk++ Awesome, I will get right on that after the meeting!
22:57:41 <iambryan> Great idea, especially since we are sending new users to IRC for support!
22:57:47 <decause> monster maybe for a halloween post :P
22:57:53 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Did you say you had screenshots too?
22:57:58 <jflory7> decause: Heheh, yeah.
22:58:06 <puiterwijk> jflory7: yes. I'm making and uploading those now
22:58:06 <jflory7> I think we should all collaborate on this article too
22:58:28 <Kohane> IRC looks like a monster to new users, hence the title
22:58:40 <jflory7> This is something very central to helping new contributors getting started, and if we put out a fantastic guide doing a basic overview for IRC, it can be used by other subgroups / teams to link to their own new contributors
22:58:52 <jflory7> I am very +1 on an "IRC for Newbies" sort of article.
22:59:07 <iambryan> #info Installing Fedora for Dummies (Pitch): https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=11277
22:59:30 * stickster has to bolt but will trust jflory7 to shut up shop with the "hash-endmeeting" command
22:59:44 <jflory7> stickster: Will do.
22:59:45 <decause> this was part of 'first flight' in hfoss at RIT course
22:59:56 <jflory7> Kohane: I thought I understood the reason, but it may not come off that way to some readers :)
22:59:57 <stickster> #info By the way, nice work jflory7 on basically running this meeting while stickster did clean up and general help tasks
23:00:06 <Kohane> Okay

23:02:20 * decause is good
23:02:23 <jflory7> We're two minutes over as is

23:02:39 <jflory7> Kohane++ Awesome, sounds good to me!
23:02:50 * jflory7 is also good
23:02:51 <iambryan> good here
