22:00:33 * stickster gives a moment to see if anyone else shows this week :-)
22:01:10 <stickster> ryanlerch: how are you this morning? long time no talk ;-P
22:01:17 <ryanlerch> :)
22:01:23 <ryanlerch> pretty good!
22:01:33 <ryanlerch> how was your day?
22:02:12 <stickster> ryanlerch: full of videocall
22:02:18 <stickster> :-D
22:02:24 <ryanlerch> :D
22:02:26 <stickster> All right, moving right along...
22:02:32 <stickster> #topic Last week's stats
22:03:03 <stickster> #info More than 60.5K views last week, which is great -- the Beta announcement drove about 20% more pageview than usual
22:03:48 <ryanlerch> woo!
22:03:50 <stickster> On track for a good month of October so far.
22:03:56 <stickster> Anything else on stats?
22:04:10 <ryanlerch> we might sneak in to 3M
22:04:19 <ryanlerch> depending on the release!
22:04:36 <stickster> :-)
22:04:43 * stickster crosses fingers
22:05:01 <ryanlerch> :D
22:05:02 <stickster> #topic Meeting time
22:05:44 <stickster> So I was thinking we should try a meeting time in the morning USA-EDT, to see if we can catch people in EMEA who can't participate at this timeslot.
22:06:08 <ryanlerch> i am +1 on this!
22:06:14 <stickster> #idea alternate timeslots each week perhaps... one earlier and one later, to try and catch different groups
22:07:00 <ryanlerch> i am pretty open to times -- just as long as we avoid the 0000 - 0500 times for me :)
22:07:05 <stickster> Supposedly this later timeslot was going to work for a few other people like sadin, maybe sub_pop[m] or others too... but attendance has been just us lately
22:07:20 <stickster> So maybe we should try branching out to see who else we can grab
22:07:44 <stickster> ryanlerch: no worries, agreed. I start early in the morning so very late nights are no-go for me too
22:08:08 <stickster> #action stickster to set up a trial time for next week, and also a whenisgood to see who can make it
22:08:16 <stickster> anything else on this?
22:08:32 <ryanlerch> sounds good to me!
22:08:39 <stickster> okey dokey, moving on then...
22:08:53 <stickster> #topic Drafts for review
22:08:59 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
22:10:09 <stickster> So we have a volunteer HDYF here, but it doesn't seem to be one cprofitt has seen, maybe we should have him get in touch with the author?
22:11:22 <stickster> #action stickster connect cprofitt and pavanwakhade to see if this can become an interview
22:11:23 <ryanlerch> i think that will be the best ide -- keeping them all in the smae style is good IMO
22:11:28 <stickster> *nod
22:11:45 <stickster> #info --- Flatpak ---
22:11:46 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=18666&preview=true
22:12:01 <stickster> ryanlerch: I think this one you're working up for later today, yes?
22:12:11 <ryanlerch> i will get this one out at 0800UTC today, yes!

22:12:55 <stickster> #info --- du ---
22:12:57 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=18603&preview=true
22:13:11 <stickster> I haven't seen any work done on this article.  What if we just do an edit and make it a quick tip kind of post?
22:13:23 * stickster can handle that for Friday if that sounds reasonable
22:13:37 <ryanlerch> stickster++
22:13:50 <ryanlerch> i can do a featured image todat for it
22:13:58 <stickster> ryanlerch: that would be most excellent! thank you
22:14:04 <stickster> #action ryanlerch do featured image for du article
22:14:06 <ryanlerch> np!
22:14:19 <stickster> #action stickster finish fleshing out and editing du article, schedule for 2017-Oct-13 if nothing else comes along
22:14:46 * stickster skips other article with no work done
22:15:08 <stickster> I'll move 'disk math' back to pitch to show its level of doneness
22:15:34 <stickster> #topic Pitches for review

22:15:54 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=18968&preview=true
22:15:59 <stickster> yay, new stuff!
22:16:50 <ryanlerch> ooh!
22:17:12 <ryanlerch> the i3 one did reallly well so this one might be good too
22:17:14 <ryanlerch> +1
22:17:16 <stickster> So this article needs some editing work but it seems like a good investment of time...
22:17:21 <stickster> yeah, +1 here too
22:17:41 <stickster> #agreed pitch/draft on openbox approved, which is good since the author wrote it up already ;-:
22:18:15 <stickster> ryanlerch: What do you think, could we get this ready for Monday?
22:18:28 <ryanlerch> yeah i think so!
22:18:37 <ryanlerch> bi can do it!
22:18:50 <stickster> ryanlerch: up to you -- we can split this one too, if you like
22:19:01 <ryanlerch> stickster: okies!
22:19:03 <stickster> which reminds me, NEED MOAR EDITORS
22:19:42 <stickster> tell you what, let's split... I reckon I may be looking to you to put together a newsie article later next wseek
22:19:45 <stickster> *week even
22:19:54 <stickster> #action ryanlerch do featured image for openbox article
22:20:13 <stickster> #action stickster edit the openbox article and schedule for Monday 2017-Oct-16
22:21:19 <stickster> #info --- FWD in Lima ---
22:21:35 <stickster> I asked Julita to submit this to the community blog where it's more appropriate, not sure whether it has been yet.
22:22:28 <stickster> looks like not submitted yet. I'll do that
22:22:48 <ryanlerch> stickster: +1
22:23:57 <stickster> *sigh, gotta move all the media too, I'll do it when we're done.
22:24:09 <stickster> #action stickster relocate FWD Lima article to commblog
22:24:20 <ryanlerch> that reminds me, i tried to see if the ambassadors have a place that tracks what events tthey are going to
22:24:42 <ryanlerch> it would be good to do a monthly roundup of where users can find fedora IRL
22:24:58 <stickster> agreed, that would be awesome
22:25:00 <ryanlerch> like before the events, not event reports
22:25:07 <stickster> we're done with valid pitches at this point too :-\
22:25:11 <stickster> #topic Other ideas
22:25:29 <stickster> #idea Monthly roundup of where users can find Fedora IRL (at conferences and such), courtesy Ambassadors
22:25:47 <stickster> Maybe bexelbie or award3535 can help with that
22:25:50 <ryanlerch> i ponged the IRC channel, but apparently they dont have a list anywhere
22:26:07 <stickster> There should be an idea of what's being funded. Oh! You know, nb might know
22:26:30 <stickster> In any case, it sounds like a good basis for a monthly or bimonthly article (depending on the cadence of events)
22:27:21 <ryanlerch> i'll chat to nb
22:27:45 <ryanlerch> it would be a prety easy artile to write -- a good entry level one TBH
22:28:03 <stickster> ryanlerch: I also think there may be some EMEA contributors interested in doing a few articles on features in F27, also modularity and other cool topics
22:28:45 * bowlofeggs sends a vi vs emacs article to the magazine WG
22:28:52 <stickster> bowlofeggs: Whoa, really?
22:29:04 <stickster> or are you just yanking our chains ;-D
22:29:07 <ryanlerch> bowlofeggs: lets do it
22:29:11 <stickster> LOL
22:29:22 <ryanlerch> i'm team gedit
22:29:29 <stickster> Randy didn't have enough unit testing of his flame retardant undergarments
22:30:27 <stickster> I'm really hoping cprofitt will help us pull next week out of the fire with a HDYF article
22:30:27 <ryanlerch> bowlofeggs: this is an offical meeting, so your pitch is approved. please have a first draft ready in 7 days
22:30:35 <stickster> bowlofeggs: ^ what he said
22:31:23 <ryanlerch> stickster: i'll have a look around to try to find some newsy articles
22:32:22 <stickster> ryanlerch: How about a short look at the new GNOME settings panel in F27 Beta?
22:32:28 <stickster> it's pretty sweet
22:32:40 * stickster just upgraded this workstation box
22:32:46 <ryanlerch> stickster: done
22:32:51 <ryanlerch> i'll do that
22:32:53 <stickster> ryanlerch: wow that was fast
22:33:06 <ryanlerch> i have heard a few people talking about it
22:33:08 <stickster> lol, j/k. there you go, you can rescue the week!
22:33:09 <bowlofeggs> stickster: chain yanking ☺
22:33:12 <ryanlerch> so it must be good
22:33:22 <stickster> bowlofeggs: you scalawag
22:33:26 <bowlofeggs> i do want to write something one day, but it'll have to be after all the current insanity has passed ☺
22:33:30 <bowlofeggs> hahah
22:33:33 <stickster> bowlofeggs: agreed
22:33:38 <stickster> we'll hold you to it
22:33:39 <ryanlerch> bowlofeggs: sorry, we don't joke in this meeting
22:33:42 <bowlofeggs> i do have a computer named "scurvy", so maybe i am a scalawag
22:33:49 <stickster> yarrrr
22:33:52 <ryanlerch> your pitch is approved.
22:34:05 <ryanlerch> yarrrr
22:34:06 * stickster backs away slowly from ryanlerch and his bullwhip
22:34:10 <ryanlerch> haha
22:34:17 <bowlofeggs> hahaha
22:34:42 <ryanlerch> i could probably get the settings panel one done by wednesday
22:34:45 <stickster> ryanlerch: If all else fails, we have some great starter pitches. I'll pick up one and write it, or else assign it to someone :-D
22:35:03 <stickster> ryanlerch: That sounds cool to me. Then I'll be responsible for Friday unless HDYF shows up
22:35:16 <ryanlerch> stickster: done!
