21:07:05 <stickster> Great news... we had a fantastic week, led by the MATE desktop article
21:07:14 <jflory7> \o/
21:07:17 <jflory7> lailah++
21:07:47 <stickster> Between that and Cockpit, we had around 51K views in the past 7 days
21:08:06 <stickster> Trend is upward for March vs. February which is fantastic
21:08:30 <stickster> #info trend is upward, let's keep cadence up for forthcoming weeks!

21:10:55 <jflory7> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=10253&preview=true
21:11:20 <jflory7> We did most of the discussion on this one last week. puiterwijk was down to have it completed by Sunday night if I recall, for a Monday publish date?
21:11:23 * jflory7 goes to double-check
21:11:58 <jflory7> Yep, I have 2016-03-20 for completion, publication on 2016-03-21.
21:12:15 <jflory7> puiterwijk: Still sound good for the OpenVPN article? ^
21:12:29 <puiterwijk> jflory7: ack
21:12:38 <jflory7> Cool cool!
21:13:06 <jflory7> #info Article scheduled for completion on 2016-03-20 by puiterwijk, edited by jflory7, published on 2016-03-21.
21:13:33 <jflory7> stickster: Want to take the wheel again?
21:13:42 <stickster> jflory7: Sure thing
21:13:48 * linuxmodder back  checking scrollback

21:14:24 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11874&preview=true
21:14:41 <stickster> It looks to me like Sylvia's still working on this one.
21:14:54 * jflory7 nods
21:14:56 <stickster> It was last modified last Friday, so she's been at it since the last meeting
21:15:01 <jflory7> She gave an update on the list too, if I recall
21:15:03 * jflory7 digs
21:15:54 <jflory7> #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2016-March/019158.html
21:16:11 <stickster> Looks like it's not quite ready yet -- no work on the weekend
21:16:23 * stickster thinks we should plan around this one for next week
21:16:33 <jflory7> Yep, we were looking at completion this Sunday evening
21:16:42 <stickster> Oh! Well, that's a possibility
21:16:45 <jflory7> Ideally, we could push it Wednesday / Friday.
21:16:50 <jflory7> That's the plan, anyways.
21:16:51 <stickster> Should we maybe target Friday for safety, and have a backup?
21:16:54 <jflory7> +1.
21:17:34 <jflory7> I'm also planning on going through this backlog of article ideas I've had for a while over the next week, but I'd prefer saving them up for other articles down the line.
21:17:38 <stickster> #info GIMP article not quite ready, may be ready for editing Sunday 2016-Mar-20 -- target for publication then, with a backup
21:17:49 <jflory7> May do a GSoC pointer over the weekend too for a Mon / Tues publication
21:17:59 <stickster> jflory7: Will you be able to checkup with Sylvia on Monday to assess readiness?
21:18:04 <jflory7> stickster: Can do.
21:18:11 <jflory7> #nick Kohane
21:18:27 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Check in with Kohane on Monday about the status on the GIMP article
21:18:30 <jflory7> Next?
21:18:32 <stickster> ha, you beat me
21:18:39 <jflory7> :)
21:19:01 <stickster> #info -- Giannis Konstantinidis: HDYF? --
21:19:03 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=12245&preview=true
21:19:09 <stickster> This is cprofitt's article
21:19:14 <jflory7> Charles asked me to edit this one. As far as I know, it's actually pending review.
21:19:26 <jflory7> Leave this one to me for next week. Wednesday publication date?
21:19:48 <stickster> jflory7: Agreed, makes a great Wednesday article.
21:20:00 * stickster worries mostly about Monday :-D
21:20:12 <jflory7> Oh, hmmm...
21:20:20 <jflory7> I thought we already had something slated for some reason.
21:20:26 <jflory7> Oh! OpenVPN was.
21:20:35 <stickster> Ah! My fault
21:20:39 <jflory7> So we're good. :)
21:20:52 <jflory7> There may be a surprise GSoC article in there too as a potential backup
21:21:04 <stickster> jflory7: Is the openvpn article in pending review?
21:21:20 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Edit cprofitt's HDYF article for a publication date of 2016-02-23
21:21:36 <jflory7> stickster: Not yet, puiter wijk is intending to have it completed by Sunday and I'll edit it that evening.
21:21:42 <jflory7> It's on his radar. :)
21:21:47 <stickster> puiterwijk: Thank you, you're a champ :-)
21:21:59 <jflory7> puiterwijk++
21:22:16 * stickster notes he'd better be asleep right now
21:22:21 <stickster> he = patrick
21:22:38 <jflory7> #agreed Giannis Konstantinidis: HDYF? to be scheduled for Wednesday, 2016-02-23; article is complete according to mailing list, jflory7 will edit
21:22:54 <stickster> jflory7: you beat me again, ye scalawag
21:23:02 <jflory7> Ninja'd!
21:23:08 <stickster> :-\   :-D
21:23:11 <jflory7> :)
21:23:19 <stickster> #info -- COPR: the road ahead --
21:23:21 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=12293&preview=true
21:23:23 <jflory7> Oooohhh, this one is new!
21:23:35 <stickster> So I will admit in a fit of editorial fiat I put this right into Draft status
21:23:48 <stickster> It's something I'm working on with the COPR maintainers to clarify the status and roadmap for COPR
21:24:03 <stickster> and since that's of interest to a larger corpus of Fedora users it seemed like a shoe-in
21:24:10 * jflory7 nods
21:24:20 * stickster opens himself to the slings and arrows...
21:24:31 <jflory7> Idea seems solid to me and I think it is of interest to the Magazine audience, versus the CommBlog.
21:24:35 <jflory7> stickster: Psssh!
21:24:41 <jflory7> It gets a hearty +1 from me!
21:25:07 <stickster> OK. I'm a bit hung for time so I don't want to commit for next week. But I hope to finish it then.
21:25:18 * stickster is such a tease
21:25:45 <puiterwijk> stickster: hah, me + asleep in a single sentence?
21:25:56 <stickster> puiterwijk: ARGGGHH
21:26:06 * stickster tranks puiterwijk with a rifle
21:26:12 <jflory7> stickster: No worries, we should have a good set of material for next week. :)
21:26:37 <stickster> #action stickster keep working on COPR article, with tentative publication in next ~14 days
21:26:40 <jflory7> I'm planning on taking the Magazine torch next week. Next week is "stickster gets a Magazine break" for a week. :)
21:26:44 <jflory7> ...minus featured images!
21:26:47 <jflory7> Hahah.
21:26:49 <stickster> I'm woefully behind, sorry for being delinquent :-(
21:27:01 <puiterwijk> stickster: heh, I actually got someone tell me last week that as of then, sleeping is part of my job description
21:27:36 * stickster is faster with the images than with the articles
21:27:44 <stickster> puiterwijk: nice
21:27:54 <jflory7> stickster: You're fine! Like I said, next week is your editing responsibility break.
21:28:17 <stickster> jflory7: You're a GOLDEN GOD
21:28:27 <stickster> OK, I think I'm slewing off topic here
21:28:39 <jflory7> It's what I do!
21:28:45 <jflory7> And yeah, maybe get the train back on the tracks.
21:28:49 <stickster> jflory7: Should we go back to Pitches now?
21:28:53 <jflory7> +1
21:29:00 <stickster> #topic Story pitches
21:29:03 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=pitch&post_type=post
21:29:29 <jflory7> So, FOSSASIA gets a hold.
21:29:34 <stickster> #info stickster has had ZERO time for the Files series but things will get better the weekend of Mar 25-26
21:29:40 <jflory7> That was discussed on the list and is being ported to the CommBlog.
21:29:48 <stickster> Ah, that makes sense
21:29:56 <jflory7> Sounds good about the Files series.
21:30:01 <stickster> #nick kushal
21:30:03 <stickster> #nick sayan
21:30:11 <stickster> jflory7: But I would suggest the author also reach out for kushal and sayan on my team for additional input
21:30:39 <jflory7> So in that case, here's a chance for me to also hash out some of my pitches for next week that I hope to work on / finish.
21:30:47 <jflory7> stickster: +1
21:31:03 <stickster> #action stickster contact author of FOSS Asia article to also solicit input from kushal and sayan
21:31:19 <jflory7> #idea WEEK OF 2016-03-28: BrickHack 2016 event report summary on the Magazine, will serve as a pointer post to the full event report on the Community Blog
21:31:36 <jflory7> #idea WEEK OF 2016-03-28: "The Black Box" nuclear number random generator by RIT student; interview and project overview, lesson on open source development
21:31:54 <jflory7> #idea WEEK OF 2016-03-28: Interview with Jonathan Dieter, school teacher in Lebanon using Fedora to power their schools, curriculum, and more. Good example of how Fedora is being used in K-12 teaching all over the world!
21:32:36 <jflory7> #action jflory7 WEEK OF 2016-03-21: GSoC 2016 pointer post announcing Fedora was accepted and that applications close that week
21:32:39 <jflory7> And done.
21:33:05 * stickster takes one moment to email said people
21:33:15 <jflory7> Sure thing.
21:33:32 <stickster> .fasinfo woohuiren

21:34:35 * stickster odne
21:34:38 <stickster> oops, done
21:34:42 * stickster fires typist
21:35:04 <jflory7> Alrighty! So, was there anything else for pitches...?
21:35:06 <stickster> jflory7: Sorry, back. As for your pitches...
21:35:09 <stickster> +1 on Brickhack.
21:35:19 <stickster> +1 on Black Box (I think I already ack'd this, but still) :-)
21:35:23 <jflory7> Yep. :)
21:35:31 <stickster> +1000 on jdieter
21:35:41 <stickster> not that it's 1000 times better, just that it's an awesome pitch.
21:35:56 <jflory7> jdieter's story is really awesome. I heard about it and just instantly wanted to write about it.
21:36:01 <stickster> jflory7: Aren't the GSoC applications due on 2016-03-22?
21:36:08 <jflory7> 2016-03-25.
21:36:14 <stickster> In that case, +1
21:36:41 <jflory7> So this should also add a nice buffer of articles to the following week.
21:36:57 <jflory7> I'm hoping to get them all done over this next week, but at the least, I'm looking at full completion of 2/4 of those ideas.
21:37:11 <jflory7> Preferably the interviews since the people I've interviewed have been waiting for a while.
21:37:50 <stickster> So...

21:38:52 <jflory7> stickster: Looks like we did! On fire!
21:38:57 * stickster feels like we should recapitulate the publishing schedule, inclding GSoC
21:39:00 <stickster> jflory7: ^

21:43:20 <stickster> :-D
21:43:26 <jflory7> #topic Open Floor
21:43:32 <stickster> jflory7: Ha, you read my mind
21:43:38 <jflory7> As always!
21:43:48 <jflory7> I can't think of anything else to cover...
21:43:51 <jflory7> Anything on your end?
21:43:55 <stickster> #info stickster has a couple potential writers interested. He has directed them to #fedora-mktg to make contact.
21:44:04 <jflory7> Awesome!
21:44:52 <stickster> This was because mattdm mentioned the magazine on a Red Hat-wide mailing list internally.  I replied to let people know they should contact me about it.  A couple people reached out to me personally, I told them what to do next, and let's see what happens.
21:45:02 <stickster> I also mentioned we could use English nazis for editorial :-)
21:45:29 * stickster wonders if the general use of that term might offend people overseas, and apologizes :-\
21:46:27 <jflory7> Adding some English experts to the editor team would be awesome for sure. With a larger editor team, it's easier to accept more articles from more people.
21:46:37 <jflory7> Less waiting time, faster edits, everyone happy!
21:47:01 <jflory7> Hoping to see if the query gains us any new hands. :)
21:47:06 <jflory7> stickster++
21:47:46 * stickster resolves to use "experts" in future
21:47:57 <stickster> We joked about this in a previous job and I'm not sure it translates
21:48:02 <stickster> Thanks jflory7
21:48:05 * stickster done
21:48:40 <jflory7> You noticed the problem and corrected it, I see no harm here.
21:48:44 <jflory7> Anything else for us to cover tonight?
21:48:56 <stickster> jflory7: Just so you know, I remembered partway through the meeting that ryanlerch sent his regrets to me earlier in the week. So please don't fault him for not being here
21:49:01 * jflory7 nods
21:49:11 <stickster> It was a previous appointment and I think he plans to be here next time
21:49:16 <jflory7> I understand he's been crazy busy these past few months.
21:49:21 <jflory7> Awesome!
21:49:40 * stickster eof
21:49:55 <jflory7> So... are we actually ending ten minutes early?!
21:49:58 <jflory7> Whaaaaaaaat?
21:50:14 <stickster> jflory7: IT'S A MADHOUSE! A MAAADDD HOOOOUUUSE!
21:50:35 <jflory7> stickster++
