13:05:11 <asamalik> stickster++
13:06:11 <asamalik> (everything is loading extremely slowly for me in the past 20 mins... might be taking longer than usual for certain things, sorry about that)
13:06:36 * asamalik is now getting "408 Request Time-out" while trying to log in to Wordpress :(
13:06:41 <stickster> Hm, seems OK here thus far for me
13:07:09 <stickster> #info Week of Dec 2: 75.3K page views -- increase from previous week, so it's pretty good!
13:07:36 <asamalik> oh there we go! just managed to log in
13:07:37 <asamalik> nice!
13:07:43 <stickster> #info Month of Nov 2019: 365.5K page views, almost as good as October! That's awesome to see as well
13:08:10 <stickster> This means we're on track for best year ever, though I doubt we'll reach 4M page views this year
13:08:44 <asamalik> best year ever doesn't sound too horrible
13:08:50 <stickster> nope
13:09:08 <asamalik> I wonder if we get anyone else today
13:09:33 * cverna is a bit late
13:09:49 <stickster> Hi cverna! o/
13:09:58 <asamalik> hey cverna!
13:10:24 <asamalik> #topic 2/ In progress followup
13:10:30 <asamalik> #info Looking at the 'in progress' column, is there something that's been finished? Anything to follow up on with its author?
13:10:30 <asamalik> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:10:53 <asamalik> I'm skipping #108, I know it's in progress and it's a bigger one
13:11:06 <asamalik> there was a note on the list it should be ready early January for review
13:11:22 <asamalik> #info #46 How to get a complete virtualization system on Fedora Workstation 30
13:11:23 <asamalik> #link https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/us/46?kanban-status=191
13:11:53 <asamalik> this has been moved to in progress last Wednesday
13:11:58 <stickster> I don't think any of the rest have been finished.
13:12:32 <asamalik> yeah, and none of those are older than a week
13:12:35 <stickster> Just did a quick survey over each one. The virt article is unfinished; the nextcloud article hasn't been changed to use upstream installation; and the sdcv article hasn't been started
13:12:41 <asamalik> yeah, we don't need to go through each probably
13:12:55 <asamalik> thanks stickster!
13:13:03 <asamalik> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
13:13:08 <asamalik> #info Looking at the 'review' column, let's decide which articles are good to go. Move each either to the 'to edit' (finished) or to the 'in progress' (needs more work) and provide feedback.
13:13:08 <asamalik> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:13:12 <stickster> I can ping in the tickets for the two older articles
13:13:36 <stickster> #action stickster ping kanban cards for two older 'in progress' articles
13:13:57 <asamalik> cool, thanks!
13:14:40 <asamalik> this one looks nice, and I'd move it to the next state
13:15:17 <asamalik> I already proposed it for the schedule on the list, just didn't switch the state
13:16:23 * stickster looking for the link
13:16:33 <asamalik> https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29819&preview=true
13:16:58 <stickster> Oh cool, the screen article
13:17:15 <stickster> Yeah, I took the review on it and will edit/image by this weekend
13:17:41 <asamalik> nice!
13:17:43 <cverna> I  don't know why but I think this one will quite popular :)
13:17:46 <stickster> I plan to contribute a bunch over the weekend so I can be on holiday with a clear conscience :-)
13:18:00 <asamalik> sounds great :)
13:18:28 <asamalik> stickster: I used those two new fields to assign it to you, so it shows up in the schedule I generate with my magic container
13:19:18 <asamalik> cverna: yeah it's a good one :)
13:19:28 <asamalik> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
13:19:34 <asamalik> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
13:19:34 <asamalik> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:19:58 <asamalik> #info #93 Setting up and configuring the sway window manager

13:20:10 <asamalik> woot
13:20:51 <asamalik> and #104 is from last week, moved to Friday, assigned to me :)
13:21:06 <asamalik> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
13:21:10 <asamalik> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
13:21:10 <asamalik> #info If there is not enough content, we might also need to look at the 'in progress' or even the 'article spec' columns come up with additional content.

13:21:37 <asamalik> Fri 13 Dec 2019: #104 Organizing all those 1s and 0s (image: asamalik, edit: asamalik)
13:21:37 <asamalik> Mon 16 Dec 2019: #93 Setting up and configuring the sway window manager (image: stickster, edit: stickster)
13:21:37 <asamalik> Wed 18 Dec 2019: #106 Using the screen utility (image: stickster, edit: stickster)
13:22:57 <stickster> Ha, we got this covered :-D
13:23:13 <stickster> I got your fields done for my "top 5" article too
13:23:15 <asamalik> and the rest:
13:23:29 <asamalik> Mon 23 Dec 2019: #112 Top articles of 2019: For sysadmins (image: stickster, edit: stickster)
13:23:29 <asamalik> Wed 25 Dec 2019: #113 Top articles of 2019: For developers (image: TBD, edit: TBD)
13:23:29 <asamalik> Fri 27 Dec 2019: #114 Top articles of 2019: For users (tools) (image: TBD, edit: TBD)
13:23:29 <asamalik> Mon 30 Dec 2019: #115 Top articles of 2019: Editors' choice (image: TBD, edit: TBD)
13:23:29 <asamalik> Wed 01 Jan 2020: #116 Most read articles in 2019 not from 2019 (image: TBD, edit: TBD)
13:23:34 <asamalik> stickster: oh cool!
13:23:55 <cverna> I can do the edit for the developers
13:24:16 <cverna> my image skills are not that great tho :)
13:24:24 <stickster> cverna: It's pretty much writing it -- we can pre-make some images though
13:24:39 <asamalik> I'm happy to make images even for all of them
13:24:51 <cverna> stickster: yes I can do the edit/write part :)
13:25:05 <stickster> We can adapt the 2018 "best of" images
13:25:16 <asamalik> right, true!
13:26:33 <asamalik> I can do the For users and Editors' choice
13:27:02 <stickster> I'll see if we can get ryanlerch to do that
13:27:25 <asamalik> stickster: ok that would be cool
13:27:27 <stickster> He's doing that path stuff in the image that makes it a little harder to edit (at least for me, maybe I just don't understand how it works)
13:29:25 <asamalik> #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri 13 Dec 2019: #104 Organizing all those 1s and 0s (image: asamalik, edit: asamalik) -- Mon 16 Dec 2019: #93 Setting up and configuring the sway window manager (image: stickster, edit: stickster) -- Wed 18 Dec 2019: #106 Using the screen utility (image: stickster, edit: stickster)
13:29:28 <stickster> I emailed him and cc'd list to ask about it
13:29:35 <asamalik> thanks
13:29:51 <asamalik> cverna: I assigned you to the For developers article
13:30:00 <cverna> asamalik: thanks :)
13:30:01 <stickster> +1 on the schedule
13:30:08 <cverna> +1 too for the schedule
13:30:31 <asamalik> and that leaves us with two more: the #116 Most read articles in 2019 not from 2019 and then one for Fri 20 Dec
13:30:44 <asamalik> and we'll be good until 1 Jan
13:30:54 <asamalik> but let's do that on the list / next week
13:32:04 <asamalik> #topic 6/ Article proposals to clarify / approve
13:32:09 <asamalik> #info Review the the article proposals and decide about what's next — a new article spec? more discussion?
13:32:09 <asamalik> #link Article proposals: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issues
13:34:40 * asamalik #info #42 Fedora's gaggle of desktops
13:34:43 <asamalik> https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issue/42
13:34:52 <asamalik> #undo
13:34:52 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Link object at 0x7fbf14941090>
13:34:58 <asamalik> #info #42 Fedora's gaggle of desktops
13:35:04 <asamalik> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issue/42
13:36:58 * stickster looks
13:37:15 <Southern_Gentlem> wouldnt that be windows managers and not desktops
13:38:18 <stickster> some yes, some
13:38:27 <stickster> oops. some yes, some no. the article can list that stuff
13:39:08 <stickster> I don't have a strong feeling about this one. I guess it could be useful, although it may age badly (but we have other aged articles, so that's no big deal)
13:39:24 <stickster> I'd rather have content so +1
13:39:49 <asamalik> I'd go with +1 because yeah, even if it will age, it's a post with a date
13:39:55 <cverna> yes +1 too
13:40:02 <asamalik> and I feel like this will be interesting to people
13:40:08 <stickster> feel free to post your votes in the issue
13:40:18 <asamalik> just did!
13:40:44 <asamalik> cverna: can I make you to make a card again? :)
13:40:57 <asamalik> #info  #41 Control brightness on desktop
13:40:59 <cverna> sure
13:41:02 <asamalik> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issue/41
13:41:03 <asamalik> thanks!
13:42:40 <cverna> +1
13:43:05 <cverna> sounds like a fun article
13:45:02 <asamalik> yeah, I wonder how HW-specific it would be, but sure I think we can go with that
13:45:08 <asamalik> +1 too
13:46:57 <stickster> voted
13:48:12 <cverna> voted too, do we want to wait for the answer on the hardware ? or should I create a card ?
13:48:30 <asamalik> I'd say let's mention it in the card that this is needed in the article
13:48:35 <asamalik> and just go with it
13:48:39 <cverna> +1
13:48:46 <asamalik> thanks
13:49:17 <Southern_Gentlem> more stuff like this makes it easier in #fedora
13:49:45 <asamalik> Southern_Gentlem: right, so you can just point people to articles rather just explaining it over and over
13:50:07 <asamalik> Southern_Gentlem: any questions that are being repeated often we could write about? :)
13:50:19 <asamalik> or you could write about even? :P
13:50:44 <asamalik> anyway, let's review one more at least
13:50:48 <asamalik> #info #39 All those bytes! Finding the one(s) you want
13:50:49 <Southern_Gentlem> article about the tweaktool and gnome-shell extensions
13:50:55 <asamalik> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issue/39
13:51:52 <asamalik> Southern_Gentlem: there is one from 2016, maybe we could update it https://fedoramagazine.org/install-gnome-shell-extension/
13:54:03 <asamalik> ok, it looks like we're all getting pinged and busy with things, so let's continue offline :)
13:54:11 <asamalik> thanks all for coming!
13:54:35 <stickster> #info stickster will be on vacation after Friday, but will submit all his work over this coming weekend for the break
13:54:50 <asamalik> thanks!
13:54:59 <asamalik> I'm here next week
