I'll take a closer look and talk to the owner 14:11:11 <randomuser> thanks 14:11:45 <randomuser> Oh, unversioned docdirs 14:11:55 <randomuser> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs 14:12:30 <randomuser> If we have any guides with <filename>/usr/share/doc/package-version</filename> we should change them to not have that version string going forward 14:13:45 <croberts> i have seen a few things about that come through the devel mailing list 14:14:11 <randomuser> it might be something good for the new contributors todo list 14:15:11 <croberts> that is a good idea 14:15:30 <randomuser> the other ones don't affect us as directly; any other Changes we should discuss at this point? 14:16:43 <randomuser> croberts, perhaps you'd like to add a "grep guides for versioned docdirs, file bugs and patches" to that wiki page? 14:18:03 <croberts> I can do what I can, I might need some assistance though 14:18:14 <randomuser> fair enough 14:18:44 <randomuser> #action croberts to add unversioned docdirs instructions on new contributors todo wiki page 14:20:43 <randomuser> #action randomuser to start creating bugs for changes 14:20:52 <randomuser> #topic Guide Status 14:21:06 <randomuser> So, i mentioned the cloud guide earlier 14:21:54 <randomuser> #info anyone interested in working on the cloud guide should speak up; we may have access to cloud resources if we can get momentum going 14:22:47 <randomuser> apparently we can request openstack access with an infra ticket, and we might be able to get ec2 and hp cloud access as well 14:22:58 <randomuser> so, I'm exited about playing with that stuff 14:23:36 <croberts> oh that would be nice 14:24:29 <croberts> what in detail is the cloud guide going to cover 14:24:39 <randomuser> good question! 14:25:05 <randomuser> croberts, there's an outline that covers a lot of things already that could have content filled out 14:25:25 <randomuser> I think we want to cover as many cloud platforms and associated tools as fedora works on 14:25:39 <randomuser> and things like ansible 14:26:33 <croberts> an outline would a good start and something that can be done easily without taking on something to big 14:26:41 <randomuser> yes, the outline is already there 14:27:11 <randomuser> I think we have to dig in a bit to know what's missing 14:27:39 <croberts> cool i will have to take a look at the outline, do you have a direct link to it? 14:28:21 <randomuser> #link git://git.fedorahosted.org/docs/cloud-guide.git 14:28:35 <randomuser> or in draft at docs.fp.o 14:28:45 <randomuser> who else has a guide to talk about? 14:29:19 <croberts> i just wanted to bring up for the meeting, mine is coming along. 14:29:36 <croberts> i need to start converting it to xml 14:29:40 <randomuser> croberts, the multiboot guide? 14:30:05 <randomuser> that reminds me 14:30:38 <croberts> yes 14:30:46 <randomuser> #info anyone with experience/notes on installing fedora on modern apple hardware? please help out with the multiboot guide 14:33:57 <randomuser> I think the majority of our guide owners have published for F19, maybe not much to talk about 14:34:26 <randomuser> pbokoc, jhradilek - do you have zanata figured out for the IG? 14:34:44 <pbokoc> randomuser, I'll get to it this week, I swear :) 14:35:00 <randomuser> lol, ok 14:35:34 <randomuser> how about the sysadmin guide? are we moving with translations for that? 14:36:49 <randomuser> eh, just curious, we can move on 14:36:53 <Capesteve> I still have work to push into that guide, and some corrections to do 14:37:47 <randomuser> okay, thanks Capesteve 14:37:52 <jhradilek> Translations? This guide is still in transifex, I think. 14:37:57 <jhradilek> I hope. :) 14:38:18 <randomuser> heh, i hope it wouldn't change without anyone telling you , jhradilek 14:38:46 <jhradilek> You never know. :) 14:39:30 <randomuser> #info randomuser thinks one of the zanata people should help us with some procedural documentation 14:39:40 <randomuser> just throwing that out there.... 14:40:20 <randomuser> #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:40:31 <randomuser> #link http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:40:59 <randomuser> now, i've got a question for you folks that may or may not pertain to a bug 14:41:32 <randomuser> i read *somewhere* something about not resizing an ntfs partition without defragging it, and I can't recall where 14:41:37 <randomuser> but I found the answer. 14:45:21 <randomuser> yeah, i think it was something else 14:46:31 <Capesteve> if I recall, some guides say to run chkdsk too 14:46:46 <Capesteve> IIRC ^ 14:47:57 <randomuser> sounds familiar, Capesteve 14:49:51 <randomuser> #topic Open floor discussion 14:51:29 <randomuser> out of curiosity, how are you guys handling working in publican3 and publishing in publican2? 14:52:22 <Capesteve> jhradilek: ^ 14:52:27 <pbokoc> well, a VM with F18 and publican 2.8 just for publishing is one solution 14:52:44 <jhradilek> randomuser: It is extremely annoying. :) 14:52:48 <pbokoc> another is "reinstall publican every time you want to publish and swear a lot" 14:53:13 <jhradilek> I use the second approach. 14:53:26 <Capesteve> {pbokoc's favorite method is the second one} 14:53:31 <pbokoc> yes. 14:53:39 <randomuser> i've been going with the "let publican2 hold me back from upgrading everything else" approach 14:53:41 <jhradilek> "yum history undo" and "yum history redo" make it quite simple. 14:54:12 <jhradilek> randomuser: That is not an option for me, I need Publican 3. :( 14:54:20 <randomuser> jhradilek, are you using RHEL or fedora? 14:54:24 <jhradilek> Fedora. 14:54:50 <jhradilek> And no, I am not using Fedora 19 just yet. :) 14:54:50 <randomuser> last I checked, there was only publican3 for F19 14:55:25 <jhradilek> That is one of the reasons why I do not want to update. :) 14:55:37 <randomuser> just one?! 14:57:03 <randomuser> hmm, maybe I'll do a VM 14:58:54 <jhradilek> That's the easiest solution. :) 14:59:22 <randomuser> well, thanks for coming, everyone 14:59:27 <randomuser> see you around, hopefully 14:59:31 <randomuser> #endmeeting
