13:13:24 <jwf> #topic Tickets

13:13:37 <jwf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/110
13:13:37 <jwf> #link https://screenshots.firefox.com/NDyEhhKzQJ4WpXr4/etherpad.persephone.cloud
13:13:42 <jwf> #info No new updates: jwf needs to review bt0's draft and schedule. This will be done over this weekend.
13:13:46 <jwf> Will skip over ticket for today's meeting if no new discussion?
13:13:59 <jwf> Now I know this ticket is blocking on me, so I will work hard at unblocking it this weekend
13:14:01 <bt0_> +1
13:14:20 <jwf> Cool, then I will skip ahead…
13:14:29 <jwf> #info === Ticket #117: "How-to create Onboading guidelines for your team" ===
13:14:29 <jwf> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/117
13:14:38 <jwf> This was an older ticket in our Pagure that bee2502 filed a while back
13:15:02 <jwf> I thought now was a good time to revisit, since the docs migration is done.
13:15:35 <jwf> Some of you might remember the old tickets we had for the sub-project on-boarding discussions
13:16:07 <jwf> This ticket was intended to be the "successor" to those tickets by creating a set of best practices / guidelines for any Fedora sub-project to on-board new contributors
13:16:34 <jwf> Kind of like our docs we have here, but generalized:
13:16:34 <jwf> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/subprojects/mindshare/docs/contribute/join.html
13:17:04 * bt0_ is reading
13:17:08 <jwf> I thought writing this as a doc would be more useful than a CommBlog post.
13:17:36 <jwf> I was also thinking of this repository that hasn't gotten a lot of love and action yet:
13:17:37 <jwf> https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/onboarding-guide
13:17:49 <jwf> I was thinking this could be a good place to put something like that
13:18:38 <Amita> .hello amsharma
13:18:39 <zodbot> Amita: amsharma 'Amita Sharma' <amsharma@redhat.com>
13:18:51 * Amita just lurking
13:19:01 * jwf waves to Amita
13:19:22 <jwf> So, my question to you all is what content you think makes the most sense to include in this guide.
13:19:29 <jwf> I thought we could do some brainstorming about it here now.
13:19:40 <jwf> Last week, roca asked about this ticket and then I never got back to him :P
13:21:00 * bt0_ is thinking
13:22:06 <x3mboy> Create a telegram channel for your team is a good 1st step
13:22:40 <jwf> x3mboy: Hmm, interesting. That's not a standardized on-boarding procedure, but I like the idea of suggesting it, so long as there is a bridge
13:22:42 <bt0_> works for anyone without experience in irc
13:22:49 <jwf> #idea Create a Telegram group bridged to an IRC channel
13:23:07 <jwf> #idea Give helpful questions for a new contributor to answer in a mailing list introduction
13:24:59 <jwf> #idea Create "starter / easyfix" tasks for new contributors
13:25:15 <jwf> #idea Get the easyfix tasks listed on the easyfix page (https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/)
13:27:14 <jwf> Sometimes I wonder if it would be helpful to explicitly document how to volunteer for a task too
13:27:21 <bt0_> videos or articles about create a fas account, request access to mailing lists?
13:27:31 <jwf> I feel that over the years, I often see people hesitant or confused because they don't know how to actually "begin" work on a task or ticket
13:27:53 <jwf> bt0: Ooh, that could be new content creation. A video tutorial could be helpful.
13:28:12 <jwf> #idea Creating content for sub-projects: Video on how to create FAS account, subscribe to mailing list, etc.
13:28:40 <jwf> #idea Explicitly document how a new contributor volunteers or starts working on a task or ticket (commenting in Pagure? speaking up in IRC? asking on the mailing list?)
13:28:49 <x3mboy> jwf, I was thinkg on having a podcast session for CommOps, but I feel like we still have stuff to clear up with Mindshare
13:29:02 <x3mboy> So I'm not sure if at this point it will be useful
13:30:14 <jwf> x3mboy: I think the Mindshare FAD cleared things up for me that I've been wondering about for the last two years. :P
13:30:32 <jwf> x3mboy: For discussion's sake, I am interested to know what you think is unclear – but let's save it for open floor
13:30:56 <jwf> So, since roca is not here and he was interested in working on this, I'll take some of these #ideas and put them into the ticket.
13:31:18 <jwf> Maybe it would be easier to start in an Etherpad and then convert to AsciiDoc later
13:31:43 <jwf> I'll do that later this afternoon when I can swing back around
13:32:48 <jwf> If nothing else, I'll go ahead and wrap this up
13:33:00 <bt0_> okay
13:33:21 <jwf> #agreed Will move ideas to the ticket, suggest starting a draft in an Etherpad for a general guidelines doc (and we can edit ideas together into a written AsciiDoc doc)
13:33:46 <jwf> Those are actually the only two tickets I had selected for today, but I wanted to run some brainstorming at open floor:
13:33:49 <jwf> #topic Open floor
13:34:03 <jwf> Before that, x3mboy, did you want to bring up the podcast?
13:34:47 <jwf> And we also need to talk about the meeting time…
13:35:14 <bt0_> :p
13:35:32 <jwf> :-(
13:35:48 <jwf> We can revisit the podcast in a bit
13:36:05 <jwf> http://whenisgood.net/fedora/commops/spring-2018-meeting/results/h4xp9bq
13:36:22 <bt0_> we don't take in account the overlap with diversity
13:36:40 <jwf> Yeah, when I put together the WhenIsGood, I was looking at a week when the Diversity Team wasn't meeting
13:36:49 <jwf> And if I understand right, the Diversity Team is also wanting to move to weekly meetings too
13:37:29 <jwf> Me, jonatoni, x3mboy, and bexelbie are likely blocked at this time after all
13:37:44 <bt0_> yeah
13:37:46 <jwf> And that's four of the seven people who entered this time as a good time
13:38:27 <jwf> I hate to run through this process all over again, so I want to follow up with the Diversity Team if they still wanted to find a new meeting time (but I know it took a while to find a good time for them too)
13:38:31 <jwf> Something about Friday mornings…
13:38:56 <jwf> I'm not really sure what to do yet, but I'll try to figure this out and keep everyone in the loop
13:39:26 <jwf> I also noticed there are some people who had connectivity issues to IRC today and weren't able to participate because it was in IRC
13:39:46 <jwf> I thought we could take a page from Diversity and run our meetings in #fedora-commops too, so people can still participate via Telegram on mobile.
13:40:05 <jwf> I thought this was a trivial change, but wanted to get your thoughts on it
13:40:07 <bt0_> +1
13:40:43 <x3mboy> Sorry I was on d&i
13:40:57 <x3mboy> Oh, well, we are now really clear about what our objective is?
13:41:01 <jwf> x3mboy: I feel you :-(
13:41:21 <jwf> x3mboy: I was curious what you felt was unclear because I think that would help drive the conversation
13:41:22 <x3mboy> If we have this objective really clear, I want to propose a Podcast Interview following the interview of the D&I
13:41:57 <x3mboy> Well, for me it's unclear because I haven't read it anything after the 1st Mindshare report
13:42:29 <jwf> x3mboy: I think the docs page sums it up best, and since we merged it, I think an interview would almost be a verbal version of the content that's there. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/subprojects/mindshare/docs/commops.html
13:42:45 <jwf> This was post-FAD too
13:43:22 <x3mboy> Oh, that looks good
13:43:28 <x3mboy> Sorry that I missed that
13:43:37 <jwf> However, my challenge is that I will probably not be around in May to help out with the podcast. I still need to figure out how the torch will be passed after I'm gone:
13:43:46 <jwf> https://blog.justinwflory.com/2018/04/fedora-may-to-august-2018/
13:43:53 <jwf> ^^ this is also probably helpful to mention now too.
13:44:10 <jwf> I won't be around for much of May until August 2018
13:44:11 <x3mboy> I read that
13:44:15 <bt0_> omg
13:44:49 <x3mboy> But is ok, remember that podcast recording date is not related to release/publish date
13:44:53 * jwf nods
13:44:55 <jwf> Also true
13:45:02 <x3mboy> So, we can secorded just before you go
13:45:10 <jwf> x3mboy: Could I action you to file a ticket for us to figure out the podcast?
13:45:14 <x3mboy> Sure
13:45:25 <x3mboy> s/secorded/recorded
13:45:41 * jwf nods
13:45:53 <jwf> I'm also going to make a note to update the meeting channel to #fedora-commops for the future
13:45:55 * x3mboy still have hope that mizmo will have a time for me to record the next episode about Design team
13:46:16 <jwf> #agreed Future meetings will be held in #fedora-commops to leverage the Telegram <=> IRC bridge
13:46:46 <jwf> #info The meeting time conflict with Diversity is a major blocker; need to figure out a plan forward. jwf will follow-up with meeting days/time with Diversity Team
13:47:05 <jwf> #action x3mboy File a ticket in CommOps Pagure about a new podcast interview / episode on the CommOps team
13:47:15 <jwf> Does this all sound right?
13:47:31 <bt0_> yes
13:47:33 <x3mboy> Yes
13:47:48 <x3mboy> Also, I would love to record this one before the D&I session
13:48:02 <x3mboy> To do a test about more than 1 person interview
13:48:15 <jwf> x3mboy: I can't make promises on that if you're wanting to include me. :-(
13:48:34 <jwf> I'd love to see if we can round up some other folks to participate, like bt0_, wesleyotugo, maybe roca too if he is interested.
13:48:52 <x3mboy> I'd love that too
13:48:56 <jwf> \o/
13:49:00 <jwf> Cool, we can move that to the ticket
13:49:02 <bt0_> sound
13:49:10 <bt0_> s great
13:49:39 <jwf> I wanted to have some brainstorming about new tickets, but I'm not sure if I will have time – I have a one-time in-person meeting in ten minutes I have to get ready for today.
13:49:54 <jwf> Do we want to postpone to next week, maybe when we find a less-conflicting meeting time?
13:50:07 <bt0_> +1
13:50:19 <jwf> Okay, cool
13:50:32 <jwf> Then we can wrap up now and I can get the minutes out to the list before I have to jump out
13:50:50 <jwf> x3mboy bt0: Thanks for coming out today and participating! Even if attention was a little split :P
13:50:55 <jwf> We will fix this for next week
13:51:04 <jwf> See you all in channel or elsewhere in the Fedora universe :-)
