12:02:49 <stickster> #topic 1/ Last week's stats
12:03:34 <jakfrost> week to week drop of approx 7k
12:04:18 <stickster> #info Week of July 27: 54.2K pageviews, down about 12% WoW.
12:05:01 <stickster> This is something to keep an eye on folks. We know given several years of data that the type of content published has an effect on pageviews. Also social media publishing helps drive to a lesser degree.
12:05:44 <stickster> Anything else on this topic?
12:06:02 <stickster> #topic 2/ In progress followup
12:06:02 <stickster> #info Looking at the 'in progress' column, is there something that's been finished? Anything to follow up on with its author?

12:06:21 <jakfrost> 183 seems at a standstill
12:07:17 <stickster> torsava: Have you seen our comments on this pipenv article? Is it still worth pursuing this?
12:07:43 <jakfrost> #207 and #213 I think could move to review
12:07:56 <stickster> If we don't have any more contact back on story #183, I move that we drop it.
12:08:05 <jakfrost> agree
12:08:36 <stickster> With regret. We're happy to get the public involved in testing but articles need to explain the value and how to do it. We're not a mailing list. :-)
12:08:48 <jakfrost> true
12:09:17 <stickster> Agreed on #207, let's move to review
12:10:24 <jakfrost> On #213, didn't the magazine have an intro to Podman this year?
12:10:42 <stickster> Looking
12:10:59 <stickster> Yup -- https://fedoramagazine.org/running-containers-with-podman/
12:11:06 <stickster> October 15, 2018
12:11:11 <stickster> sorry "nope but yup"
12:12:00 <jakfrost> guess not, then it may be a good article since there are definitely new podman users out there
12:12:09 <stickster> Perhaps we could ask the author to cover some more of the standard podman commands to manage containers... like identifying them, listing, start/stop, destroy, etc.
12:12:24 <stickster> Those don't appear in the 2018 article.
12:12:46 <jakfrost> Yes, the toolbox backup article presented some useful commands
12:13:09 <misc> podman maintainance would be good too
12:13:16 <misc> (like, cleaning up old containers, etc)
12:13:22 <jakfrost> definitely
12:13:38 <stickster> Is anyone in touch with the author (yazanmonshed) at this time?
12:13:42 <stickster> misc: agreed
12:14:08 <jakfrost> misc: the definitely was in response to you
12:14:21 <jakfrost> I am not, I think Ben maybe was
12:15:06 <stickster> bcotton: ^^
12:15:30 <jakfrost> I know someone got the author setup on Taiga
12:15:46 <stickster> Yup, he's there
12:16:01 <stickster> #action stickster contact author for some more scope (DONE)
12:16:09 <stickster> I left a note in the Taiga card for this ^
12:16:17 <jakfrost> stickster++
12:17:20 * stickster looks to see if anything popped up on the Magazine without a card
12:20:02 <jakfrost> Pagure and the discussion site look clear of new content. We have a bounty of spec articles though
12:20:42 <stickster> I broke out a separate card for Nick's intro article as well.
12:21:04 <jakfrost> Ah I see ...
12:22:30 <stickster> #217 is also in progress, just moved that
12:23:13 <jakfrost> yes definitely
12:23:26 <stickster> Wow, that's a really long one.
12:23:32 <jakfrost> no kidding
12:23:39 <stickster> But really informative!
12:24:26 <jakfrost> lots of detail
12:24:55 <stickster> Let's move on, so that we can close here on time. I have a hard stop at the hour...
12:24:58 <stickster> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
12:25:01 <stickster> #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.
12:25:05 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:25:42 <stickster> Looks to me that we have the installing Fedora -> RasPi article ready to review: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=31568&preview=true
12:25:53 <stickster> That's #219: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/us/219
12:26:06 <jakfrost> agree
12:26:08 <stickster> Do we have a volunteer to edit? And/or one to do the image?
12:26:13 <jakfrost> I can
12:26:17 <jakfrost> both
12:26:23 <stickster> jakfrost++
12:26:31 <jakfrost> edit and image, not both articles
12:26:36 <stickster> right
12:26:40 <stickster> #action jakfrost to edit/image #219
12:26:55 <jakfrost> it should precede #207
12:27:03 <stickster> Do you think that can be ready to publish Friday?
12:27:09 <jakfrost> yes
12:27:14 <stickster> double-\o/
12:27:36 <stickster> Anyone volunteer to edit/image #207?
12:28:13 <jakfrost> we seem to be quite alone here stickster
12:29:19 <stickster> yeah
12:29:23 <jakfrost> I can do it for next wednesday
12:29:36 <stickster> Nah, I don't want to sock you with everything just because you showed up :-)
12:29:40 <stickster> #action stickster to edit/image #207
12:30:02 <stickster> I'll set it up for Wednesday, there is a good chance this TCP article is ready to edit
12:30:11 <jakfrost> I think so too
12:31:50 <stickster> I don't know that there's too much more we can do today
12:31:56 <stickster> give me 2 minutes to recon, brb
12:32:41 <jakfrost> sure
12:33:06 <stickster> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
12:33:07 <stickster> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
12:33:09 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban

12:34:03 <stickster> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
12:34:03 <stickster> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
12:34:06 <stickster> #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.
12:34:09 <stickster> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
12:34:40 <jakfrost> I assigned myself to #219

12:35:18 <jakfrost> +1
12:35:23 <stickster> I guess that carries :-D
12:35:33 <stickster> #info PUBLISHING SCHEDULE: Fri Aug 7, #219 (install Fedora on RasPi, edit/image jakfrost) -- Mon Aug 10, TBA (possibly TCP article) -- Wed Aug 12, #207 (wifi hotspot on RasPi, edit/image stickster)
12:36:13 <jakfrost> seeing as we're the only two, can we open floor for the rest?
12:36:38 <jakfrost> I volunteer for EOW next week
12:36:54 <stickster> LOL
12:37:07 <stickster> #topic 6/ Article proposals to clarify / approve

12:39:15 <stickster> I've kept up with the discussions this week but haven't seen anything that needs further clarification -- everything right now is either waiting on author, or clear and in progress
12:39:29 <stickster> #topic 7/ Editor of the Week
