21:09:48 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
21:09:58 <stickster> There's a new COPR post coming in from dturecek :-)
21:10:06 <cverna> cool
21:10:48 <ryanlerch> noice!
21:11:22 <stickster> #info --- GNOME Builder / Flatpak ---
21:11:41 <ryanlerch> oh, was this one from the comment in yesterday's post?
21:11:50 <cverna> yes :)
21:11:54 <cverna> \o/
21:12:02 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=24755&preview=true&preview_id=24755
21:12:15 <stickster> I guess this is really a pitch, that's cool :-)
21:12:20 <ryanlerch> so its really a pitch then, IMHO.
21:12:25 <ryanlerch> jinx
21:12:30 <ryanlerch> im +1
21:12:40 <stickster> +1 here
21:12:53 <cverna> we did not solve the pitch/draft thing with the new editor
21:13:05 <stickster> cverna: yep, you're correct
21:13:16 <cverna> +1 too since I encourage the author to write about it
21:13:21 <cverna> :P
21:13:23 <ryanlerch> yeah, i think we have to wait until that extension is updated
21:13:39 <stickster> Would it be enough for this article to just cover the easy thing, and point somewhere for instructions to publish your flatpak?
21:14:10 <ryanlerch> cverna: +1, i have been trying that a bit too in the comments, when someone is "what about this feature, why didnt you write about that?"
21:14:31 <ryanlerch> stickster: yeah, i think that might be the safe way here
21:14:51 <ryanlerch> the publishing is a little out of scope. and possibly political
21:15:23 <stickster> yeah
21:15:27 <stickster> OK, but it's good to go
21:15:31 <cverna> agree to a nice an easy article is cool from time to time
21:15:33 <ryanlerch> awesome!
21:15:41 <stickster> #agreed Builder/Flatpak article pitch approved
21:16:05 <stickster> cverna: can you email author to give them approval and next steps?
21:16:18 <cverna> sure
21:16:37 <stickster> #action cverna contact Builder/Flatpak article author (jakfrost) to proceed
21:16:42 <stickster> #info
21:16:43 <stickster> oops
21:17:08 <stickster> #info --- JDK Mission Control ---
21:17:11 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=24753&preview=true
21:17:20 <stickster> I don't know anything about this one -- anyone else have the story here?
21:18:20 <cverna> no I think we looked at this one already but I can remember what we decided :S
21:18:20 <ryanlerch> yeah, im cluless on this one
21:18:27 <stickster> I feel like that too
21:18:59 <stickster> Ah, OK -- see my email to list Jan 18
21:19:33 <stickster> I think this is the requested pitch, so I'd say +1
21:19:42 <ryanlerch> yeah +_1
21:19:57 <stickster> I have a feeling the top text may need some work to get the reader into why they care, but it's doable
21:20:08 <ryanlerch> it might needa little background for non-javary types
21:20:16 <ryanlerch> jinx again
21:20:33 * ryanlerch curses hisnew keyboard, and blames it for the slow typing
21:20:59 <cverna> :)
21:21:08 <ryanlerch> but yeah, a +1 from em for this one
21:21:29 <cverna> +1 too
21:21:34 <stickster> I emailed back to Jie + the list to advise him to keep going and complete it
21:21:45 <ryanlerch> stickster++
21:21:49 <stickster> #action stickster email author of JDK MC article to finish draft (DONE)
21:23:05 <stickster> #info --- Open Power Summit ---
21:23:34 <cverna> I think we can delete this one, it will be publish on the comblog
21:23:40 <stickster> ah, cool
21:23:54 <stickster> #action stickster delete OPS post, as it will be published on commblog
21:24:00 <cverna> https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/open-power-summit-2018/974/2
21:24:28 <stickster> oops, ryanlerch is in it
21:24:57 <ryanlerch> oh, i tried to view it, but went preview though
21:25:00 <ryanlerch> weird
21:25:04 <ryanlerch> out of it now
21:25:26 <ryanlerch> sorry stickster
21:25:34 <stickster> no worries, I'm trashing it

21:27:00 <stickster> #info --- release-monitoring.org ---
21:27:01 <ryanlerch> should we move the unassigned ones back to starter pitches?
21:27:12 <ryanlerch> sorry, ^ an item for open floor
21:27:31 <stickster> ryanlerch: I'll come back to that, good point
21:27:44 <stickster> #link https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=24718&preview=true&preview_id=24718&preview_nonce=10f9373ea3
21:28:21 <ryanlerch> the release monitoring one is a funny one
21:28:44 <ryanlerch> like not sure about it for the magazine, but think it might be able to make it work
21:28:53 <cverna> yes same here
21:29:18 <ryanlerch> could frame it as look at this awesome service we do for the community?
21:29:25 <cverna> it might be good to have a wider audience, for example people that have an upstream project would learn about it
21:29:25 <stickster> ryanlerch: exactly
21:29:38 <stickster> since the fedmsg bus is public it would work for any developer
21:30:34 * stickster can be +1 on this.
21:30:44 <ryanlerch> yeah, i'm a +1
21:30:51 <ryanlerch> ive convinced myself
21:31:12 <stickster> Oh, the pitch is from mkonecny
21:31:24 <stickster> mkonecny++ !!!
21:31:24 <zodbot> stickster: Karma for zlopez changed to 3 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any

21:37:29 <cverna> that's a long pitch :)
21:38:11 <stickster> It's basically a good first draft from sdgathman -- needs tune-up but it's all there
21:38:44 <cverna> +1
21:38:50 <stickster> I like that it doesn't try to cover every seperate topic with nuance

21:45:34 <stickster> The COPR article seems like we could put it out next Wednesday
21:45:43 <stickster> but it'll be relabeled for February :-)

21:51:56 <stickster> I have another topic too
