15:02:28 <jakfrost> I'm working on the Write for Us please post
15:02:33 <jakfrost> #283 I think
15:02:36 <rlengland> I
15:02:51 <rlengland> I've taken over #271 Systemd timers

15:02:52 <zodbot> glb: Karma for jakfrost changed to 2 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
15:03:01 <jakfrost> I should have it ready for review for this Wed
15:03:02 <glb> jakfrost++
15:03:30 <jakfrost> I have an image in mind but would like someone else to edit it for me
15:03:36 <glb> rlengland++ too :-)
15:03:41 <jakfrost> the post, not the image
15:03:56 <glb> Thanks for jumping in and contributing article guys. We need them.
15:03:57 <rlengland> Glad to help jakfrost. let me know
15:04:28 <jakfrost> sure thing, I'll post on the Taiga card and perhaps in the discussion area
15:04:53 <rlengland> I've also been tracking #321. Progress on the dev side but not ready yet.
15:05:12 <rlengland> It checked out on F33
15:05:20 <rlengland> not F34
15:06:04 <glb> Thanks rlengland. I think that one was ready to run but got pulled at the last minute.
15:06:12 <rlengland> Yes
15:06:40 <glb> So just go ahead and publish it in the next available time slot whenever the problem is cleared.
15:06:50 <rlengland> Will do
15:07:31 <glb> Thanks also for pinging the authors in the in progress column from time to time.
15:08:28 <jakfrost> I fixed its preview link
15:08:51 <glb> The author for #151 states that he will have something ready "by the end of the week".
15:10:04 <jakfrost> he worked on it today
15:10:16 <jakfrost> or is
15:10:33 <glb> Well, there is some content progressing anyway. I don't think there is anything that needs to be moved back to spec.
15:11:05 <glb> #info Are there any upcoming test days?
15:11:06 <glb> #link https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/QA/
15:11:27 <glb> Hmm, the link doesn't seem to work.
15:12:00 <rlengland> not for me, either
15:12:15 <jakfrost> I'm getting service temp unavailable
15:12:16 <glb> I guess they'll just have to let us know on the forum if they want to run anything (which they usually do anyway).
15:12:47 <glb> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
15:12:47 <glb> #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.
15:12:48 <glb> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:13:08 <glb> So #320 was canceled right?
15:13:15 <rlengland> correct
15:13:32 <glb> I'll go ahead and move that card to archived then.
15:14:06 <rlengland> #324 Preview link seems to be broken (expired)
15:14:33 <glb> #324 is a simple announcement that I agreed to publish on Monday. I'll take care of that one when the time comes.
15:14:45 <rlengland> ok
15:15:31 <glb> I just fixed the link.
15:15:47 <jakfrost> me too
15:15:52 <jakfrost> lol
15:16:23 <glb> lol
15:16:43 <rlengland> I left it alone ;)
15:17:02 <glb> So we actually have three articles for next week! Yay!
15:17:22 <jakfrost> cool
15:17:25 <rlengland> 3 ?
15:17:33 <glb> Well, I'm assuming the systemd-timers one will be ready sometime next week?
15:17:40 <rlengland> ah
15:17:50 <jakfrost> sorry I've been unavailable lately
15:17:54 <rlengland> yeah.  I'd like someone to edit when I have it ready
15:18:13 <jakfrost> sure, just let me know
15:18:26 <rlengland> TY
15:18:31 <jakfrost> NP
15:19:09 <glb> So jakfrost will edit rlengland's post and rlengland will edit jakfrost's post. That makes it easy. :-)
15:19:19 <jakfrost> +1
15:19:52 <giaco> hey there, do you have a protocol of the meeting?
15:19:53 <rlengland> We share well.
15:19:54 <glb> I probably should have advanced the topic session already ...
15:20:00 <glb> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
15:20:01 <glb> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
15:20:01 <glb> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:20:25 <jakfrost> we do have an agenda, all are welcome, open floor at the end
15:20:26 <glb> giaco -- we follow this guide usually: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/editorial-meetings/
15:21:00 <glb> But I'm not very strict about it and sometimes skip sections either accidentally or because there is nothing to cover.
15:21:24 <giaco> okay thx
15:21:38 <glb> Different editors may be more strict.
15:21:51 <jakfrost> rlengland if you would like it I can probably have the write for us article ready for this weekend to be edited so it get's published by Wednesday
15:22:22 <jakfrost> of next week
15:22:36 <rlengland> That works for me.  I'll probably have mine done in that time frame as well.
15:23:09 <jakfrost> cool, so if we get that ready for Friday, with the announcement on Monday we have the first full week in awhile I think
15:23:15 <glb> I just set due dates on the cards for Wednesday and Friday of next week.

15:25:20 <glb> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
15:25:20 <glb> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
15:25:21 <glb> #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.

15:27:32 <glb> Any volunteers? :-)
15:27:56 <jakfrost> I will if no one else wants to, but I don't want to appear greedy
15:28:48 <glb> I can, but I've done it for the last two weeks in a row, so I'm thinking I should give someone else a chance.
15:28:58 <jakfrost> so I can glb
