12:01:25 <stickster> .hello pfrields
12:01:27 <zodbot> stickster: pfrields 'Paul W. Frields' <stickster@gmail.com>
12:01:27 <stickster> Welcome back Adam!
12:01:41 <asamalik> Thank you!
12:03:31 <rwaltr> .hello2
12:03:32 <stickster> Sorry I've had little time for Magazine in the past week. However, I just got the Stadia article ready to publish, so it can go out any time. (I can even push it now if we want.)
12:03:32 <zodbot> rwaltr: rwaltr 'Ryan W Walter' <rwalt@pm.me>
12:05:09 <asamalik> stickster: I'm still catching up, but looking at the board and the home screen, I think we can schedule it for tomorrow usual time?
12:05:29 <asamalik> hey rwaltr o/
12:05:39 <asamalik> #topic 1/ Last week's stats
12:05:45 <rwaltr> Howdy o/
12:06:03 <stickster> Sure, I can do that
12:06:35 <asamalik> #info Week of 22 April: 55.8k pageviews -- quite flat for the past two weeks
12:06:48 <stickster> ryanlerch is trying to join and be seen here, but is having problems
12:07:15 <asamalik> stickster: although I don't know what the best time for articles is actually — like I don't have data that would tell the usual time is the best
12:08:29 <stickster> asamalik: We usually have done 0800 UTC because it gets some time during the day from every time zone, from Brisbane AU all the way to West Coast USA
12:08:49 <stickster> I've scheduled the Stadia article for tomorrow 8 UTC
12:08:50 <asamalik> that's been my standard, roughly, yes
12:09:11 <asamalik> cool!
12:09:40 <asamalik> #topic 2/ In progress followup
12:09:45 <asamalik> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanba
12:10:30 <asamalik> #159 is a release announcement, so let's skip that here
12:10:43 <stickster> Hopefully that will be for Tuesday :-)
12:10:52 <asamalik> yep :-)
12:11:04 <asamalik> and #145 is there for quite some time I remember!
12:11:08 <stickster> asamalik: We probably have some work to do to get associated articles ready, once again I think no one has coordinated early with us
12:11:41 <asamalik> stickster: oh ok, let's talk about it then
12:12:00 <stickster> I mean: (1) an upgrade article, (2) what's new in workstation, (3) anything for Silverblue upgrade (if separate from the other upgrade article?)
12:12:01 * asamalik has somehow expected for those to just happen (from our point of view)
12:12:25 <asamalik> oh right, those, yes
12:13:16 <asamalik> those won't be hard to reu.. ehm.. write! :)
12:15:04 <ryanlerch> .hello
12:15:04 <zodbot> ryanlerch: (hello <an alias, 1 argument>) -- Alias for "hellomynameis $1".
12:15:12 <ryanlerch> .hello ryanlerch
12:15:14 <zodbot> ryanlerch: ryanlerch 'Ryan Lerch' <rlerch@redhat.com>
12:15:22 <stickster> hooray, ryanlerch is here!
12:15:22 <asamalik> hey ryanlerch o/
12:15:38 <ryanlerch> sorry! got my Nick issues sorted
12:16:13 <asamalik> so I've just created #161 f32 upgrade, and #162 f32 what's new in workstation
12:17:08 <asamalik> We can probably reuse a lot of the articles from previous releases.
12:17:11 <asamalik> Any volunteers?
12:17:25 <ryanlerch> mattdm voluntteered me for whats new
12:17:31 <ryanlerch> so i'll take that
12:17:33 <asamalik> excellent!
12:17:34 <ryanlerch> :D
12:17:42 <asamalik> thank you for being volunteered!
12:17:53 <asamalik> that's very kind of you
12:17:59 <asamalik> :D
12:18:22 <asamalik> and I could take the upgrade
12:18:23 <ryanlerch> been heads down bums up on other thinbgs, so was good to get a nudge back to magazine :D
12:18:48 <ryanlerch> asamalik++
12:18:53 <zodbot> ryanlerch: Karma for asamalik changed to 6 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
12:18:53 <asamalik> ryanlerch: you're definitely very welcome here!
12:19:22 <ryanlerch> Release is on tuesday, right?
12:19:42 <stickster> I thiiiiiiink so
12:20:05 <stickster> I haven't had time to follow Fedora release go/no-go stuff but last time I talked to mattdm about it that was the plan
12:20:40 <ryanlerch> aweome. will try to get mine done tomorrow, so someone can edit friday / WE / monday
12:22:32 <asamalik> yep, looks like current target is Tue 2020-04-28
12:23:02 <asamalik> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
12:23:10 <asamalik> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:23:24 <asamalik> there's #144
12:26:02 <jakfrost> Yes there is, and it's pretty much finished I think
12:27:09 <asamalik> hey jakfrost o/
12:27:16 <asamalik> yep, looks like it!
12:27:34 <jakfrost> morning asamalik o/
12:27:38 <stickster> Yeah, that one should be ready according to Curt on the list
12:27:57 <stickster> Do we need cards or something for these other article bits?
12:28:18 <asamalik> stickster: which ones do you mean now?
12:32:07 <asamalik> anyone wants to edit and/or image the #144? :)
12:33:03 <jakfrost> I can edit it, and try the image too
12:33:12 <asamalik> jakfrost++
12:33:18 <jakfrost> When are we planning on scheduling it
12:33:48 <asamalik> I think it could be either Friday or Monday
12:34:01 <jakfrost> Cool, some time then
12:34:12 <asamalik> we have one for Thursday already, and Tuesday will be there lease announcement, so any of those two are fine I'd say
12:34:19 <stickster> asamalik: I meant those release articles.
12:34:33 <stickster> Sorry for delay, I am trying to keep up with too many things this morning.
12:34:34 <asamalik> stickster: oh, I've created those two already, and ryanlerch and myself are writing them
12:34:45 <stickster> Oh cool. I'm just not refreshed on my kanban window :-(
12:34:59 <stickster> I see them!
12:35:07 <asamalik> I'm not sure it actually auto-refreshes
12:35:46 <asamalik> I keep refreshing it myself all the time for some reason, maybe I learned I need to do that some time ago and now it's just a habit :D
12:36:34 <asamalik> jakfrost: assigned you to #144 :)
12:36:53 <jakfrost> sure thing
12:36:56 <asamalik> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
12:37:19 <asamalik> there is one we haven't touched today: #160
12:37:47 <asamalik> stickster: thanks for creating this one, I see the email on the list now!
12:38:17 <stickster> Since #160 is probably like its other series brethren... I imagine it needs some editing just to correct slight English language things
12:38:29 <stickster> But otherwise is probably easy to set up
12:38:38 <asamalik> yeah it looks good!
12:38:50 <asamalik> we have quite a lot of content this time actually
12:38:56 <asamalik> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
12:39:04 <asamalik> so let's figure out what to do with it!
12:39:22 <stickster> If anyone wants to edit it, that is probably not more than 20-30 minutes work. Just needs the editor to read it through carefully and make sure to correct small grammar or usage things
12:39:44 * stickster wonders if anyone has tried grammarly.com or something else for this
12:40:38 <asamalik> stickster: that's a good idea
12:40:56 <stickster> I would recommend we not try to splurge too much on articles, let the release be a big splash next week, and then we send out most other articles later, giving us some slack time to collect other ideas and set them up
12:41:38 <jakfrost> I agree, the release drives up readers and views
12:41:58 <asamalik> yeah, I agree, too
12:41:59 <jakfrost> The COPR article will too
12:42:48 <asamalik> so do we want to just keep the one we have for tomorrow, and then wait for the release ones?
12:42:55 <asamalik> and then we could resume Friday?
12:43:07 <stickster> That makes sense
12:43:26 <stickster> We'd have at least 2-3 articles at that point to publish Friday May 1, Mon May 4, Wed May 6
12:43:33 <asamalik> yeah
12:44:18 <asamalik> and we could actually make a publishing schedule for those next week
12:45:50 <asamalik> #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Tuesday 28 April, F32 release articles #159, #161, #162. Other content resumes Friday 1 May.
12:46:08 <jakfrost> agree
12:47:57 <asamalik> also added the one for tomorrow:
12:47:58 <asamalik> #proposed #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Thursday 23 April, #157 Stadia (scheduled) -- Tuesday 28 April, F32 release articles #159, #161, #162. Other content resumes Friday 1 May.
12:48:42 <asamalik> and there's two +1's already, I'm giving it a third one, so:
12:48:43 <asamalik> #agreed PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Thursday 23 April, #157 Stadia (scheduled) -- Tuesday 28 April, F32 release articles #159, #161, #162. Other content resumes Friday 1 May.
12:48:51 <asamalik> #topic 6/ Article proposals to clarify / approve
12:48:54 <asamalik> #link Article proposals: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-proposals/issues
12:50:00 <asamalik> there is a bunch of new proposals from the past few days to +1/discuss!
12:50:26 <asamalik> let's do that async :)
12:50:32 <asamalik> #topic 7/ Open floor
12:50:36 <asamalik> anything for the open floor?
12:52:15 * asamalik gives it last 60s :)
12:52:45 <stickster> Nothing here
12:52:56 <jakfrost> I got nothing
12:53:12 <stickster> Thanks for running the meeting Adam
12:53:19 <jakfrost> Yes thanks Adam
12:53:51 <asamalik> my pleasure!
12:53:55 <asamalik> thanks for coming everyone!
