12:01:02 <zodbot> x3mlinux: x3mboy 'Eduard Lucena' <eduardlucena@gmail.com>
12:01:22 <ryanlerch> hi cverna!
12:01:35 <ryanlerch> how is everything going for everyone?
12:01:50 <x3mlinux> As well as it can be
12:01:56 <x3mlinux> And you?
12:02:16 <ryanlerch> good -- finally getting cooler here
12:02:22 <ryanlerch> kinda :D
12:02:23 <cverna> all good here, finally starts to have a decent weather, got to love spring
12:02:44 <ryanlerch> by cooler, i mean mid twenties :D
12:03:05 <stickster> lol
12:03:09 <cverna> :)
12:03:24 <stickster> We're finally going to *hit* 20C this week
12:03:35 <stickster> still bouncing between 10 and 20 these days
12:03:44 <ryanlerch> stickster: woah! i was worried about the hackfest
12:03:58 <ryanlerch> didnt want to have t find my winter gear
12:03:59 <x3mlinux> lol
12:04:19 <ryanlerch> havent used it since Boston :D
12:04:40 <stickster> :-)
12:04:43 <stickster> #topic Last week's stats
12:04:59 <stickster> #info Week of 2018-03-19: a little over 64K pageviews, up from the previous week!
12:05:06 <ryanlerch> woo!
12:05:26 <ryanlerch> 9.1K average / day for the week!
12:05:35 <cverna> it is was a good week
12:05:38 <stickster> #info Month of March so far -- > 226K pageviews, but unfortunately we're still below February :-(
12:05:40 <cverna> \o/
12:06:20 <stickster> I feel like we should strive for some more timely/attention-getting topics that historically attract folks
12:06:43 <stickster> nevertheless -- the overall graph of month-by-month is not bad, average curve is still up and to the right!
12:06:56 <ryanlerch> was thinking it might be good to report on the Facebook Firefox conatiner extenstion
12:07:09 <x3mlinux> Here the autumn is starting, a little colder than summer, but still hot (middle 20)
12:07:10 <stickster> ryanlerch: YES!
12:07:10 <ryanlerch> as an idea for a grabby newsy post
12:07:18 <stickster> ryanlerch: insta-+1
12:07:25 <ryanlerch> i just saw it eariler
12:07:35 <ryanlerch> hadnt a chance to write it up yet
12:07:48 <ryanlerch> so just putting it out there if someone wants to grab it :D
12:08:11 <ryanlerch> also, before we get started, beta is soon too, right?
12:08:23 <stickster> ryanlerch: I expect go on Beta tomorrow, yeah
12:09:33 <stickster> ryanlerch: That would put Beta release date at 2018-04-03 -- next Tuesday
12:09:39 <x3mlinux> Holly molly! The Beta Release Announcement!
12:10:08 <ryanlerch> just so we know before we start scheuling things this week :D
12:10:44 <stickster> x3mlinux: yep, definitely need some work on that!
12:10:50 <stickster> mattdm: ^

12:14:21 <stickster> So it looks like Curt has finished this one
12:14:22 <ryanlerch> was there a pitch for this one?
12:14:29 * ryanlerch cant remmeber...
12:14:31 <stickster> yes -- it was quite some time ago, though
12:15:14 * stickster can take editing/image on this one since we won't likely put it out until next week
12:15:25 <cverna> it looks good
12:15:34 <stickster> #action stickster edit/image for restic article
12:15:48 <ryanlerch> awesome, thanks stickster!
12:15:54 <stickster> \o/
12:15:58 <stickster> #topic Drafts to review
12:16:01 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
12:16:07 <stickster> WOW, there's a lot here
12:16:29 <stickster> I see nothing new in gnokii's posts so let's skip those for the moment
12:16:43 <x3mlinux> I will pit the draft of the next episode today and finish it tomorrow
12:17:15 <x3mlinux> s/pit/put
12:18:13 <stickster> x3mlinux: great -- you can use the previous episode articles as a template
12:18:13 <ryanlerch> thanks x3mlinux
12:18:40 <stickster> #action x3mlinux put up draft of next podcast episode and finish by Thu 2018-03-29
12:19:17 <ryanlerch> there is nothing new on my drafts either -- i can easily write them up though
12:19:25 * cverna moved his draft to pitch :)
12:19:26 <stickster> ryanlerch: so it sounds like we'll have podcast Fri, do you think you can reasonably throw together a small Firefox/FB thing for Monday?
12:20:10 <ryanlerch> stickster: it's newsy -- so i can get it together and out tomorrow i reckon
12:20:19 <ryanlerch> the sooner the better
12:20:22 <stickster> ryanlerch: cool
12:20:56 <stickster> So Monday maybe we could have Patrick's article reprinted; Tuesday would be Beta announcement (x3mlinux -- are you working on that via Mktg?) -- I think I can have my Python/gst thing ready for Wed
12:21:41 <x3mlinux> Yes, it's being worked via Mktg
12:22:35 <stickster> cool
12:23:02 <stickster> ryanlerch: Can you prep a beta announcement featured image?
12:23:15 <ryanlerch> stickster: for sure -- on my list now for tomorrow
12:23:20 <stickster> woop woop!
12:24:16 <stickster> x3mlinux: do you know who's authoring it? Is it you?
12:24:32 <stickster> #action ryanlerch make featured image for F28 beta announcement
12:25:06 <stickster> #action stickster write Python/Gst CD article for publication Wed 2018-04-04
12:25:29 <x3mlinux> Me
12:25:31 <x3mlinux> :(
12:26:19 <x3mlinux> bt0, are you there?
12:28:26 <stickster> x3mlinux: OK cool -- I made you an "empty" article and put you as author
12:28:38 <x3mlinux> Thanks
12:28:59 <stickster> x3mlinux: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=20698&action=edit
12:29:57 <stickster> ryanlerch: So maybe instead of belaboring the list of drafts... let's think about how we can pre-seed for the week of April 9-13, since both you and I will be tied up at the hackathon
12:30:22 <ryanlerch> stickster awesome -- i love it!
12:30:31 <stickster> #topic Publishing schedule in advance
12:31:37 <stickster> #proposed #agreed Thu Mar 29: Firefox/FB container (ryanlerch) -- Fri Mar 30: Podcast ep (x3mboy) -- Mon Apr 02: Patrick reprint (ryanlerch) -- Wed Apr 04: Python/GST (stickster)
12:31:53 <stickster> oh crap!
12:31:55 <stickster> #undo
12:31:55 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x21432150>
12:32:01 <stickster> #topic Publishing schedule in advance
12:32:30 <stickster> #proposed #agreed Thu Mar 29: Firefox/FB container (ryanlerch) -- Fri Mar 30: Podcast ep (x3mboy) -- Mon Apr 02: Patrick reprint (ryanlerch) -- Tue Apr 03: F28 Beta (x3mboy) -- Wed Apr 04: Python/GST (stickster)
12:32:36 <stickster> ^ OK, *that* looks better
12:32:44 <stickster> +/-1 so far?
12:32:56 <cverna> +1
12:32:59 <x3mlinux> +1
12:33:25 <ryanlerch> +1
12:33:31 <stickster> #agreed Thu Mar 29: Firefox/FB container (ryanlerch) -- Fri Mar 30: Podcast ep (x3mboy) -- Mon Apr 02: Patrick reprint (ryanlerch) -- Tue Apr 03: F28 Beta (x3mboy) -- Wed Apr 04: Python/GST (stickster)
12:34:07 <stickster> OK, moving forward... we have several ideas in the hopper
12:34:46 <stickster> I notice Dominik Turecek has a draft of COPR but we can't really push that out for March, it would have to be April
12:35:03 <stickster> but that works out nicely, if we can do it during the "out" week
12:35:36 <stickster> #info cverna has a pitch on "Python development made easy" -- can we approve that here?
12:35:51 <x3mlinux> Can we have an "updating old COPRs" article?
12:36:14 <stickster> x3mlinux: we "can" have lots of things, the question is what are people going to write ;-)
12:36:35 <x3mlinux> Sure i get it
12:36:44 <cverna> the pitch is about listing the useful packages for python development, like debugger, interactive shell etc
12:36:46 <ryanlerch> stickster: +1 from me on python dev made easy
12:36:58 <x3mlinux> +1
12:37:05 <stickster> x3mlinux: do you mean, would that be appropriate for the magazine? it depends, what does that article intend to cover?
12:37:14 <stickster> +1 from me on python dev as well
12:38:14 <cverna> ok I ll work on it
12:38:16 <cverna> :)
12:38:26 <stickster> cverna: what if we aim to publish your article on Mon Apr 9?
12:38:34 <cverna> fine with me
12:38:46 <stickster> so IOW, if you can have it ready by Thu Apr 5 or Fri Apr 6, that should be good enough
12:39:18 <cverna> works for me, it should be easier to write than the github one
12:39:32 <stickster> cverna: I bet... that's a good article by the way, it went up this morning
12:40:20 <cverna> thanks, yeah it was a bit of a struggle to finish :)
12:41:49 <stickster> ryanlerch: What about Wed 11th? Do you think you'd be able to do, say, the peek article by then?
12:41:59 <ryanlerch> stickster: for sure!
12:42:12 <stickster> ryanlerch: for instance, maybe just whip it up sometime next week and schedule
12:42:57 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, that is what i as thinking!
12:43:05 <ryanlerch> *was thinking
12:43:08 <stickster> ryanlerch: We could hold 4-new-COPR article for Fri Apr 13
12:43:18 <stickster> That leaves Fri Apr 6 open at the moment
12:43:32 <stickster> But perhaps something will pop up for then
12:44:01 <ryanlerch> yeah, we can confirm all this at the meeting next week too
12:44:11 <ryanlerch> maybe something will pop up before then
12:44:20 <ryanlerch> :D
12:46:39 <stickster> ryanlerch: Last thing is that we might want to dream up Mon/Wed Apr 16/18 due to missing the week of... unless you and I want to plan on an early start on Wed Apr 11 a.m., and do the meeting per usual
12:47:17 <stickster> like, if we get up to the 13th scheduled and then we screw up the next week because we lost the week before, d'oh!
12:48:54 <stickster> #proposed #agreed Fri Apr 06: TBD (?) -- Mon Apr 09: Python dev made easy (cverna) -- Wed Apr 11: peek (ryanlerch) -- Fri Apr 13: 4-COPRs (dturecek)
12:49:09 <stickster> ryanlerch: x3mlinux: cverna: ^ +/-1?
12:49:31 <cverna> +1 for me
12:49:40 <ryanlerch> +1
12:49:41 <x3mlinux> +1
12:50:49 <stickster> #agreed Fri Apr 06: TBD (?) -- Mon Apr 09: Python dev made easy (cverna) -- Wed Apr 11: peek (ryanlerch) -- Fri Apr 13: 4-COPRs (dturecek)
12:51:40 <stickster> ryanlerch: So there's one more wrinkle in the mix
12:51:58 <x3mlinux> stickster, what time is for you now?
12:52:01 <stickster> Next week, Mon-Wed Apr 2-4, I'm on PTO so I will probably miss the Magazine meeting
12:52:35 <stickster> ryanlerch: But if we are smart, next week we would also get 16th and 18th April scheduled with something, so we don't miss a beat due to hackathon
12:53:06 <ryanlerch> okies -- i can try to get my audacity one done for apr 9
12:53:21 <stickster> ryanlerch: actually, for 16th would be good, I think we have 9th covered
12:53:21 <ryanlerch> but then, i have nothing for the week after :(
12:53:30 <stickster> 9th: cverna Python dev made easy article
12:53:31 <ryanlerch> okies, 16th it is
12:53:45 <ryanlerch> ooh, i meant the 6th, sorry
12:53:57 <stickster> ryanlerch: I'd say hold on to it in case we run dry
12:54:05 <ryanlerch> stickster: roger!
12:54:08 <ryanlerch> ack!
12:54:12 <stickster> next week has the beta article and who knows, we may have some followup for Fri the 6th
12:54:26 <ryanlerch> stickster: good plan
12:54:45 <stickster> ryanlerch: but also important to note (tagging mattdm here too) I'm out next Mon-Wed so the Beta article will need to be pushed by someone who can
12:54:57 <stickster> I think mattdm has rights to do all that
12:55:47 <stickster> #agreed Mon Apr 16: Audacity noise reduction (ryanlerch)
12:56:08 <stickster> Wow, I can't believe we have a whole 2+ weeks scheduled in advance! That's pretty awesome
12:56:15 <ryanlerch> stickster: :D
12:56:26 <x3mlinux> I can have one for that week
12:56:26 <stickster> Anything else before we close up?
12:56:26 <x3mlinux> For FLISoL
12:56:30 <ryanlerch> i have a quick AOB item too
12:56:36 <stickster> ryanlerch: go
12:56:46 <stickster> x3mlinux: Put in a pitch so we can look at it!
12:56:47 <ryanlerch> the theme idea i sent to the list :D
12:56:52 <stickster> ryanlerch: yaass
12:57:16 * stickster thinks the new theme is pretty nice... there was a bunch of feedback, were you able to distill some things from that?
12:57:41 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, the majority fo stuff is just widget stuff we can do in-place
12:57:44 <x3mlinux> The two sidebars need some more testing
12:57:52 <ryanlerch> like adding new content to widgets
12:57:57 <x3mlinux> With images and pre tags
12:58:53 <stickster> ryanlerch: very cool!
12:59:33 <stickster> Well, I think it's definitely a bit more like other Fedora websites now -- ryanlerch are you looking to put this in place at some point soon?
12:59:33 <ryanlerch> x3mlinux: i did try them out, they all seem to fit in the column
13:00:04 <x3mlinux> Cool then
13:00:05 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah -- i can work with patrick on getting it up there
13:00:20 <x3mlinux> I think it was the only thing people is worried about
13:00:39 <stickster> ryanlerch: Awesome. It would be cool to document how that works too
13:00:45 <stickster> (theme changes)
13:00:53 <stickster> Oops, we're out of time!
13:01:01 <stickster> Thanks for coming, everyone!
13:01:04 <x3mlinux> Also, the category thing
