15:00:58 <glb> #topic 1/ Last week's stats
15:00:58 <glb> #info Week of July 12: 59.K pageviews -- trending low; it looks like the social media sites are not being updated
15:00:59 <glb> #topic 2/ In progress followup
15:00:59 <glb> #info Looking at the 'in progress' column, is there something that's been finished? Anything to follow up on with its author?
15:01:00 <glb> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:02:06 <glb> The 'in progress' column is getting so long these days.
15:02:34 <glb> I don't want to spend the entire time going though it.
15:03:01 <glb> Maybe we need to create a 'stalled' column to file some of them in?
15:03:13 <rlengland> That might make sense.
15:03:28 <rlengland> means changing the workflow
15:03:29 <glb> I don't know what to do with #330 for example.
15:03:51 <glb> Yeah, the documentation would need to be updated.
15:04:19 <glb> Do you think you would be up to updating the documentation if I added a 'stalled' column?
15:04:56 <rlengland> Given my lack of work on how to handle a series, I don't know.
15:05:16 <glb> That's a good point.
15:05:46 <glb> I the past, I don't think we've really done all that many series before.
15:05:52 <rlengland> I will be away for the next 3 meetings anyway so nothing much  would get done.
15:06:03 <glb> Good to know. Thanks.
15:06:28 <rlengland> Hate to leave you holding the bag but I'll try to connect if I can remotely
15:06:41 <glb> I owe a bit more work anyway since I was away for a bit last week.
15:07:02 <glb> It shouldn't be a problem. Don't worry about it.
15:07:57 <glb> It looks like armanwu has been doing a good job at supplying content.
15:08:11 <rlengland> yes
15:08:38 <glb> If he keeps up the pace, that might give us enough content for the next few weeks.
15:09:12 <rlengland> If gnokii let's us know his status their might be somethign there as well.
15:09:33 <rlengland> #350, but I'm not certain where or what is going on there.
15:09:54 <rlengland> I guess that is the next topic though
15:10:14 <glb> OK. I'll try to contact him and maybe take that one up.
15:10:33 <glb> So yeah, let's move on to the next topic.
15:10:44 <rlengland> Make certain you review the discourse thread on that one
15:10:56 <glb> Will do.
15:11:00 <glb> #info Are there any upcoming test days?
15:11:00 <glb> #link https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/QA
15:11:01 <glb> No
15:11:01 <glb> #info Review release schedule
15:11:02 <glb> #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-35/f-35-magazine-tasks.html
15:11:02 <glb> Nothing until September
15:11:03 <glb> #topic 3/ Finished articles to review
15:11:03 <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.
15:11:04 <glb> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:11:55 <rlengland> #349 is ready but I have not moved it to edit for some reason. will do that now.
15:12:15 <glb> Thanks for taking that one.
15:12:18 <glb> rlengland++
15:13:01 <rlengland> I also did some work on #363 but didn't want to take it because of my hiatus
15:13:08 <glb> #info looking at #363 https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=34222&preview=true&preview_id=34222
15:13:49 <glb> It looks good to me.
15:13:57 <glb> I'll finish it up and get it published.
15:14:42 <glb> #topic 4/ Articles to edit
15:14:42 <glb> #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator.
15:14:43 <glb> #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban
15:15:06 <glb> It looks like #362 has already been scheduled.
15:15:15 <rlengland> yes
15:15:34 <rlengland> #349 for Monday?
15:15:35 <glb> It should probably be in the next column. Thanks.
15:15:50 <rlengland> done
15:16:04 <glb> #349 on Monday sounds great to me.
15:16:14 <rlengland> I'll schedule it, then
15:16:34 <glb> It gives me more time to get #363 done for Wednesday. :-)
15:17:44 <glb> Are you setting the due date on the card for #349?
15:18:07 <glb> I just need that in order to generate the agreed schedule for the record.
15:18:35 <rlengland> one sec. got waylaied
15:19:39 <glb> #topic 5/ Publishing schedule
15:19:39 <glb> #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period.
15:19:40 <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.

15:21:15 <glb> Since the editor always does the imaging, that might be a field that we can get rid of if we ever get around to redoing the workflow.
15:21:35 <glb> We can discuss that more when you get back from your hiatus. :-)
15:21:41 <rlengland> 'k
15:22:37 <glb> #topic 6/ Editor of the Week
15:22:38 <glb> #info glb will be Editor of the Week next week
15:22:49 <glb> #topic 7/ Open floor
15:23:04 <glb> Any thoughts?
15:23:27 <rlengland> I'll not have consistent connection while gone but will try to chip in if I can.
15:23:49 <rlengland> I'll also try to work on the series workflow, at least outlining something
15:24:06 <glb> That'd be great. Thanks.
15:24:30 <glb> I'll try to run through the meetings even though I'll be the only one doing them.
15:24:36 <glb> Just for the records really.
15:24:55 <glb> But if you show, that'd be great too.
15:25:25 <rlengland> I'll see if the times work out and try...but don't wait for me
15:25:26 <rlengland> :-)
15:25:37 <glb> OK then. If that is all, then I'll end the meeting.
15:25:40 <glb> Going once
15:25:45 <glb> Going twice
