13:03:05 <jakfrost> more to come today to I guess
13:03:20 <jakfrost> too/to
13:03:25 <rengland> Portland snow is melting but the ice storm following it knocked out power for 2 days. Wasn't certain if I would be here
13:03:48 <jakfrost> yeah you guys got hit pretty good lately
13:03:57 * bcotton_ is ready for spring
13:04:16 <jakfrost> apparently the albino rodent here predicted an early one
13:04:23 <bcotton_> jakfrost++
13:04:29 <rengland> :-)
13:04:33 <bcotton_> but in lieu of spring, let's start the meeting!

13:05:19 <bcotton_> #topic 2/ In progress followup
13:05:20 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'in progress' column, is there something that's been finished? Anything to follow up on with its author?
13:05:21 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:06:13 <bcotton_> we had a couple of pitches come in recently
13:06:45 <jakfrost> sorry taiga is taking forever to load
13:06:57 <jakfrost> yes I noticed them in the discussion
13:08:16 <bcotton_> i'll check again with peter on the IoT article
13:08:38 <bcotton_> and I can check with coremodule on the follow up to his astrophotography article
13:10:12 <jakfrost> #282 #281 both have nothing started at least no preview link
13:10:13 <bcotton_> i propose that anyone who hasn't answered in the last 2 months gets moved to "article spec" so we have a better sense of what's actually in progress
13:10:23 <jakfrost> good idea
13:10:36 <jakfrost> the above two were just started
13:10:59 <jakfrost> #271 has been started and worked on recently I think
13:11:57 <rengland> #271 only has an intro paragraph  I've been watching the 2 scheduling articles.
13:12:06 <jakfrost> #258 moved back to in spec
13:12:11 <rengland> Thought I'd snag them when there is anything to do
13:12:19 <jakfrost> ok
13:12:38 <bcotton_> #agreed Cards with no response from the author in two months will be moved back to the "Article Spec" column
13:12:54 <bcotton_> the next few sections will go quickly!
13:13:03 <jakfrost> #234 back to spec
13:13:04 <bcotton_> #topic 2/ In progress followup
13:13:06 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'in progress' column, is there something that's been finished? Anything to follow up on with its author?

13:13:15 <bcotton_> #info No cards in this column
13:13:23 <bcotton_> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
13:13:24 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
13:13:25 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:13:28 <bcotton_> #info No cards in this column
13:13:36 <bcotton_> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
13:13:38 <bcotton_> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
13:13:39 <bcotton_> #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.
13:13:41 <bcotton_> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
13:13:44 <bcotton_> #info no cards in these columns
13:13:57 <bcotton_> I did publish an article on Monday, so we've had a couple go out recently
13:14:06 <jakfrost> bcotton++
13:14:29 <jakfrost> sorry was approving and marking as spam comments on WP
13:14:59 <bcotton_> #topic 6/ Editor of the Week
13:15:27 <jakfrost> do you want to do it again bcotton? I can if you need a break
13:15:41 <bcotton_> I can't attend the meeting due to internal meetings, so if no one steps up, I can be EoW for the async bits and we can cancel the meeting
13:15:54 <jakfrost> I'll do it
13:16:00 <bcotton_> hooray!
13:16:19 <bcotton_> #action jakfrost to serve as Editor of the Week next week
13:16:27 <bcotton_> #topic 7/ Open floor
13:16:29 <jakfrost> #agreed
13:16:58 <jakfrost> so I guess we need more content completion
13:17:06 <jakfrost> any strategies?
13:17:17 <jakfrost> people are busy I take it
13:17:43 <jakfrost> on the topic of packaging
13:17:56 <bcotton_> i realized i skipped the test day check, but there are no test days on the calendar
13:18:10 <bcotton_> a while back, we published a "write for us" article and that got us a nice burst of submissions
13:18:25 <jakfrost> might be time for another?
13:18:40 <jakfrost> Who does those (Paul?)
13:18:59 <bcotton_> not paul, he's retired from the magazine :-)
13:19:02 <bcotton_> anyone could do them
13:19:30 <jakfrost> I can take a look at the last one and try to make one for the next week or so
13:19:38 <bcotton_> i think adam did the last one? we could probably unpublish it and just republish it at a minimum
13:19:44 <bcotton_> awesome!
13:19:56 <jakfrost> I got a couple of jobs going on through Feb and Mar that are critical for me
13:20:20 <jakfrost> so you can action me to do that maybe
13:20:26 <jakfrost> make it a bit formal
13:20:31 <bcotton_> even better, i https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/us/283?kanban-status=191 it for you
13:21:05 <jakfrost> LOL works for me
13:21:25 <bcotton_> with the beta coming out in about a month, we might try hitting up people with accepted change proposals and see if they'll write an article
13:21:36 <bcotton_> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/34/ChangeSet
13:21:51 <jakfrost> sounds reasonable
13:22:28 <bcotton_> some of these aren't interesting to users or they're just bumps of packages, but there's probably at least a few worth an article
13:22:50 <jakfrost> maybe I can work in the change proposal angle as the hook
13:22:58 <bcotton_> there you go!
13:23:15 <jakfrost> so off topic
13:23:25 <bcotton_> #action bcotton to file a request with the i3 spin for them to publish a magazine article :-)
13:23:29 <jakfrost> packaging for Fedora project lead
13:23:32 <bcotton_> jakfrost: go ahead
13:24:02 <jakfrost> I have java knowledge and experience I would like to contribute to the project
13:24:27 <jakfrost> So I was looking at taking over some of the orphaned packages
13:25:26 <jakfrost> Basically I am left with only having to take them as my next step. Are there particularly important pkgs that are orphaned and needed now
13:26:44 <bcotton_> none that i know of. you might look at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/F5DKGSMBX36Y7EE3OSJBZ6BN5INJOSGV/ and see if any of those interest you
13:26:59 <bcotton_> and maybe write a magazine article about your experience getting started as a packager ;-)
13:27:25 <jakfrost> Thats actually not a bad idea, it is a little like entering a labrynth
13:27:31 <bcotton_> decathorpe is also probably a good person to ask about java packages
13:27:46 <jakfrost> I am on the SIG mailing list for java
13:27:51 <bcotton_> cool
13:28:12 <jakfrost> actually I am on I think almost every fedora mailing list
13:29:01 <jakfrost> I set up a nextcloud server on a little Acer I have here based on the article last week it was pretty cool and easy to do
13:30:10 <bcotton_> nice! i've been meaning to play with it, but i don't trust myself to actually try it unless i move wholeheartedly to it, and that sounds like a lot of work :-)
13:31:54 <jakfrost> Yeah it got me thinking I need to do a coreos install onto the Acer so now I'm making an ign file for it and trying to figure out  how to
13:32:13 <bcotton_> the magazine is dangerous to your free time :-)
13:32:18 <bcotton_> okay, anything else for this week's meeting?
13:32:20 <jakfrost> setup nextcloud to be used on the home network from a coreos box running it in containers
13:32:24 <jakfrost> nothing
13:32:53 <bcotton_> rengland: do you have anything?
13:33:08 <rengland> nada
13:33:31 <bcotton_> okay! thanks for coming and i'll see you on the internets!
