20:02:48 <stickster> #topic Last week's stats
20:03:31 <stickster> #info Week of May 28: ~68.7K page views, a little up from previous week despite holiday!
20:03:42 <ryanlerch> yay!
20:03:49 <stickster> #info Month of May 2018: 400,593 views -- best month ever!
20:04:02 <ryanlerch> up near that 60-70K a week since the release
20:04:10 <ryanlerch> rather than 45ish before
20:04:16 <ryanlerch> 400K woo!
20:04:26 <cverna> \o/
20:04:40 <stickster> exactly. it's a good trend to be on. And that monthly record is despite some goofs on our part. So we can be pretty happy about the trend :-)
20:05:37 <ryanlerch> 2014, we only had 600K
20:05:43 <ryanlerch> the whole year
20:05:51 <stickster> wow. some change, Mr. Lerch!

20:28:19 <stickster> #info stickster emailed the pitch author to explain that we wanted something more user-focused
20:29:31 <stickster> haven't heard back
20:29:41 <ryanlerch> stickster: :(
20:29:58 <stickster> it was just yesterday morning though, so not giving up hope yet
20:30:13 <cverna> yes let's give it a bit more time
20:30:18 <stickster> similarly with sayan's AWS article
20:30:38 <stickster> not sure if x3mboy is around -- he has a zsh tuning guide listed too
20:32:35 <cverna> does not seems like he is around
20:32:41 <stickster> #info --- Buildah article part 2 ---
20:33:13 <stickster> This pitch is from the mailing list -- https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/magazine@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/BIDKLFSB3MCIXFOAU5W552OGS25PK4NL/
20:33:59 <cverna> For this I feel it would be nice to have a DIY type of article with a nice use case
20:34:08 <stickster> +1 from me, but I'd also advise Ashutosh to write more context, which is often lacking when he does initial draft
20:34:23 <stickster> cverna: exactly -- a use case that makes it more understandable *why* to use this process
20:34:23 <ryanlerch> yeah, the modules one was awesome in that way
20:34:46 <ryanlerch> that is, having a use case example
20:34:49 <stickster> do you guys feel this is OK for him to go ahead and write, though?
20:34:55 <cverna> yes
20:34:59 <ryanlerch> yeah +1 from me
20:36:41 <stickster> #agreed Buildah article pitch approved
