21:00:56 <mattnix> ;-)
21:01:09 <stickster> I love it. We need a 'hella' command.
21:01:28 <mattnix> Subconcious feature request ;)
21:01:47 * stickster hopes someone else shows up or this will be a REALLY short meeting :-)
21:02:09 <mattnix> ha... we could co-run a dictatorship, maybe?
21:02:18 <gregbartholomew> do I need to run the hello command?
21:02:59 <gregbartholomew> i don't really intend to vote or anything, but maybe provide feedback if requested.
21:03:09 <stickster> Go for it gregbartholomew

21:03:39 <zodbot> Current chairs: asamalik cverna gregbartholomew mattnix stickster sub_pop[m]
21:04:00 <gregbartholomew> thanks for the tip, i didn't know that that was supposed to be my fas account.
21:04:09 <gregbartholomew> why does it say chair?
21:04:30 <mattnix> so you can rest your legs, gregbartholomew
21:04:32 <mattnix> :)
21:04:44 <stickster> #info asamalik sends regrets
21:04:52 <stickster> but he said he can write some articles, so I'll set that up here
21:05:05 <stickster> #topic Last week's stats
21:05:27 <stickster> #info Week of Dec 03: about 65.7K page views -- down from previous weeks but not terrible
21:05:44 <stickster> We only have to get about 50K more views total to make our annual goal of 3.5M!
21:06:00 <mattnix> woo! sounds more than possible
21:07:16 <stickster> I want to start a little differently this week, since we have to cover some outages. It's unlikely we will have meetings next week or the week after
21:07:57 <stickster> So let's concentrate on setting up a production schedule. I would ask everyone here (and asamalik in absentia) to see if they can get a couple articles in by next week that we can use during holidays.
21:08:21 * stickster notes that gregbartholomew has one in waiting already, netboot pt 3 :-)
21:08:44 <gregbartholomew> FWIW, I'm quite close to done on pt 4 as well.
21:08:51 <stickster> gregbartholomew: awesome!
21:09:01 <stickster> mattnix: did you see my email to the list pulling out some add'l analysis on your "tops of 2018" list?
21:09:38 <mattnix> stickster: I did, yes
21:10:00 <mattnix> All looked good... I can definitely put together one or two of the articles
21:10:36 <stickster> mattnix: I think you saw the ones we did in 2017, right?  You're welcome to crib a little from those if you need to
21:10:53 <stickster> mattnix: can you pick a couple now, and we'll #action here so it's clear who's doing what?
21:11:15 <stickster> also, my secret motive is to give a few to asamalik (he wants some) and that way he'll know what to do as well.
21:11:19 <mattnix> stickster: sure, let's say I can do Command Line and Sysadmin
21:11:37 <stickster> mattnix: brilliant. I'll give developer + desktop to Adam then.
21:12:15 <stickster> mattnix: by end of weekend sound OK?
21:12:34 <mattnix> stickster: yep, happy with that!
21:12:41 <stickster> brilliant!
21:12:43 <stickster> #action mattnix write "Top articles of 2018: Command Line" by end of weekend
21:12:47 <stickster> #action mattnix write "Top articles of 2018: Sysadmin" by end of weekend
21:12:56 <stickster> #nick asamalik
21:13:13 <stickster> #action asamalik write "Top articles of 2018: Desktop" by Friday
21:13:23 <stickster> #action asamalik write "Top articles of 2018: Developers" by end of weekend
21:14:01 * stickster notices we have a COPR article on the way from dturecek as well, awesome!
21:14:17 <stickster> #action stickster edit December 2018 COPR article by end of weekend
21:14:46 <mattnix> the COPR article looks really good and essentially complete save for checking over too!
21:15:01 <stickster> indeed... Dominik's become a pro at it
21:15:02 <mattnix> (urgh, awful sentence, sorry! tired!)
21:15:49 <stickster> #action stickster edit Netboot pt 3 article by end of weekend
21:15:55 <mattnix> (p.s. I only have until 9.45pm today, sorry)
21:16:31 <stickster> no problem mattnix -- I think we'll be done sooner than usual.
21:17:25 <stickster> There's a new article on VAAPI support in Chromium. I don't know much about it but maybe Adam can help us there.
21:17:50 <stickster> #action asamalik Look at VAAPI/Chromium article and try to rework slightly for publication
21:18:18 <mattnix> stickster: I took a look at that, seemed like quite a bit of editting needed, but I'm unable to speak to the technical parts in it
21:19:29 <stickster> Same here -- I'd like it to be a little less like a personal blog post, but the story is a good one
21:20:05 <mattnix> agreed!
21:20:20 <stickster> #action stickster contact spot (Chromium maintainer) and see if he's interested in helping with rewrite
21:21:00 <stickster> #action stickster do permissions article as previously promised
21:21:30 <stickster> That means if we get the netboot pt 4 some time between now and new year's, we'd be covered for the entire period :-
21:21:33 <stickster> :-)
21:22:16 <mattnix> sounds great! I did have the idea on blogs fedora users may enjoy, but shall we keep that for emergencies?
21:22:46 <stickster> oh, that would be a good one too mattnix... maybe we could run that right after New Years, like a "resolve to read more blogs" thing?
21:23:02 <gregbartholomew> i *just* finished pt 4. all it needs now is for me to do a final run-through to make sure everything is correct. i'll send stickster an email when i get that done.
21:23:11 <mattnix> stickster: agreed, I'll put it together once the Top Posts posts are done
21:23:13 <stickster> wow, awesome gregbartholomew!
21:23:16 <stickster> gregbartholomew++
21:23:24 <mattnix> gregbartholomew: brilliant!
21:23:44 <stickster> #action mattnix write "[N] Fedora blogs to read in the New Year" article after 2018 top articles
21:23:47 <gregbartholomew> this last one is a bit code-intensive. i hope that won't be a problem.
21:24:04 <stickster> gregbartholomew: sounds intriguing
21:24:15 <stickster> OK... let's think about schedule

21:28:39 <stickster> earlier, even
21:28:43 <mattnix> hehe
21:28:47 <stickster> mattnix: gregbartholomew: what do you think?
21:28:47 <mattnix> quite the run down!
21:28:56 <gregbartholomew> thank about what?

21:29:07 <stickster> gregbartholomew: sorry, about schedule above
21:29:27 <gregbartholomew> i have no problem with it.
21:29:32 <stickster> disco
21:29:50 <stickster> #topic Publishing Schedule
21:30:24 <gregbartholomew> i thought there was some talk about re-posting some systemd articles last time. i'm supprised that wasn't in your list.
21:30:48 <stickster> Since we don't have to do it, we can hold that for January if needed to recover form holiday
21:30:56 <gregbartholomew> i guess it is in the "top articles" category.
