15:00:46 <glb> I guess it is time to get this show on the road. 🙂
15:00:51 <glb> .hello glb
15:00:52 <zodbot> glb: glb 'Gregory Bartholomew' <gregory.lee.bartholomew@gmail.com>
15:01:05 <rlengland[m]> .hello rlengland
15:01:06 <zodbot> rlengland[m]: rlengland 'Richard England' <rlengland@gmail.com>
15:02:26 <glb> Hey @rlengland -- I just noticed that zodbot is showing a space between 'rlengland' and the '[m]' that indicates a matrix account.
15:02:58 <glb> I wonder if that extra space is causing problems?
15:03:35 <rlengland[m]> I can adjust. I'll just use .hello <name>
15:03:54 <Southern_Gentlem> .hello jbwillia

15:04:34 <zinebot[m]> #topic 1/ last week's stats
15:04:41 <Southern_Gentlem> why do we need a bot to run a bot
15:05:29 <glb> Because the zinebot is programmed with the meeting plan.
15:05:53 <Southern_Gentlem> which is cut and paste
15:05:54 <rlengland[m]> less cutnpaste and typing
15:05:56 <glb> It posts more than just zodbot command and it remembers the order of things.
15:06:42 <glb> It also allows me to moved things around in Pagure's kanband, make sure that people have signed the FPCA, and a number of other things.

15:11:33 <glb> It looks like TheEvilSkeleton has 118. I'll leave that one to him. 🙂
15:12:04 <rlengland[m]> I did a pass on 96 so I can take it
15:12:18 <TheEvilSkeleton> I'm still waiting for the author of 118 to agree to schedule

15:13:08 <TheEvilSkeleton> Oh thanks, I missed that
15:13:41 <TheEvilSkeleton> I'll read it again and check if there are last minute suggestions
15:14:42 <glb> So I guess that leaves me with 116. 🙂
15:16:02 <rlengland[m]> 116 is pretty much just narrative and should be real fast for you.
15:16:15 <rlengland[m]> I can do it if you like
15:16:19 <glb> I was just looking at it.
15:16:21 <glb> It does look pretty bland. But I don't see any obvious problems.
15:16:59 <glb> I'll take it just so it does look like Richard is doing all the work. 😛
15:17:26 <glb> (even though for the most part he is)
15:18:03 <rlengland[m]> 😛
15:18:03 <glb> rlengland++ for updating the sidebar btw
15:18:03 <zodbot> glb: Karma for rlengland changed to 1 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
15:18:30 <rlengland[m]> I need to get that documented before it goes fallow and I don't remember how I did it.
15:19:15 <glb> Oh, about that ... I think it would be good to include in the documentation that it should like to getfedora.org.
15:19:53 <rlengland[m]> ?
15:20:52 <glb> There was a kerfuffle about that in the Fedora Magazine channel. I took care of it this time.
15:21:17 <glb> s/like/link/
15:21:34 <rlengland[m]> I've been out of the loop. Apparently I missed it.
15:21:53 <glb> It wasn't a big deal. But it should be documented.
15:22:23 <rlengland[m]> Oh, you mean a link in the side bar to getfedora.ort.  I got it.
15:22:33 <rlengland[m]> I'll add that
15:22:41 <rlengland[m]> *org
15:22:46 <glb> OK. Let's see if I can get back on track. 🙂

15:29:26 <glb> I'll get you doing it one of these days. 🙂
15:29:41 <glb> 🔹 eotw glb
15:29:41 <zinebot[m]> #info glb will be editor of the week starting Sun 15 May 2022
15:29:41 <rlengland[m]> one of these days
15:29:53 <glb> 🔹 next topic
15:29:53 <zinebot[m]> #topic 7/ open floor
15:30:23 <rlengland[m]> reminder I'll be unavailable last week of May and first week of June
15:31:30 <glb> So the only other thing I can think of is that Jim Hall's usability class has finished doing their study of Fedora Magazine's website and workflow.
15:31:46 <glb> They had lots of suggestions.
15:32:32 <glb> One of the things they stated as being most important was to add a "tagline" near the top of the website that states the websites purpose and link to the "About" page.
15:32:40 <glb> I went ahead and did that.
15:33:03 <glb> There were many other things that we should go though and decide on as time permits.
15:33:32 <glb> I've uploaded the content to Fedora Magazine's media library just this morning.
15:34:06 <glb> All the files begin with "usability-study-" and were upload by me today.
15:34:08 <rlengland[m]> I noticed the tag line but can you increase the size?  On my Firefox it shows up as really small. Haven't tried another browser yet
15:34:17 <glb> Hopefully that is enough that you can find them.
15:34:36 <glb> Sure.
15:34:55 <rlengland[m]> Media library as in WordPress?
15:34:57 <glb> Or if you want so practice, you could submit a PR. 🙂
15:35:11 <glb> Yes -- WordPress' Media Library.
15:35:27 <glb> s/so/some/
15:35:49 <glb> There should be five files.
15:35:56 <rlengland[m]> I'll take a look
15:36:11 <glb> There were three groups that essentially did the same study.
15:36:32 <glb> They each submitted a PDF report about their findings.
15:36:44 <glb> They also recorded video presentations.
15:37:20 <glb> But the third group put their video on a proprietary platform that I could not download from.
15:37:43 <glb> So we only have the video presentations from teams one and two.
15:38:26 <glb> I think we should try to file Pagure issues against the theme for each of the findings that we want to address.
15:38:40 <glb> Then we would work on getting PRs done for them.
15:38:57 <rlengland[m]> 👍️.
15:39:25 <glb> So I'll let you all review the materials and you can provide feedback at the end of next week's meeting.
15:39:27 <glb> Sound good?
15:39:56 <rlengland[m]> 👍️.
15:39:57 <glb> Alright then.
15:40:04 <glb> Anything else?
15:40:19 <TheEvilSkeleton> <glb> "They had lots of suggestions." <- I have a suggestion too: we should modify the preformatted texts and use `overflow: scroll;` in the CSS to make the content inside it scroll instead of wrap
15:40:46 <glb> I guess that sounds OK.
15:40:47 <TheEvilSkeleton> Having code and shells wrapped around makes it unreadable, and gets worse on mobile
15:40:57 <glb> Does that work properly on phones and tablets?
15:41:14 <glb> Can they scroll sideways on phones?
15:41:19 <TheEvilSkeleton> Yes, I use it on my website and it's effective
15:41:30 <TheEvilSkeleton> You just swipe in the box and it scrolls
15:42:05 <glb> OK. TheEvilSkeleton can you create an issue in the Pagure repo for the theme so we don't forget about it?
15:42:44 <glb> https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme
15:42:53 <TheEvilSkeleton> Thanks
15:43:17 <glb> Also, there is a bug in the current theme for the media icons that I need to fix.
15:44:19 <glb> I'll get it fix before the next meeting and then I'll have everyone who is going to work on the theme do a pull to be sure they are working from the latest version before creating branches/PRs.
15:44:40 <glb> s/fix/fixed/
15:44:44 <TheEvilSkeleton> Done https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme/issue/42
15:45:07 <glb> Anything else?
15:45:24 <rlengland[m]> not from me
15:45:36 <glb> going once
15:45:41 <TheEvilSkeleton> Give me a sec
15:45:46 <glb> uh oh
15:45:59 <TheEvilSkeleton> I'm not sure why, I had some suggestions before but I forgot about them 😅
15:46:33 <glb> You can file issues against the theme repo at any time so that that doesn't happen. 🙂
15:47:03 <TheEvilSkeleton> Right, one issue I always have is logging in. I have https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/edit.php bookmarked so it's easily accessible, but there should be a button to login in
15:47:24 <glb> I think that was mentioned in the usability report.
15:47:37 <glb> I think it is really only a problem for the editors though.
15:48:00 <TheEvilSkeleton> The "About" in fedoramagazine.org is really difficult to read as well

15:48:06 <glb> I think WordPress has a separate system that can be used for the comments.
15:48:23 <glb> Yeah, Richard just filed an issue about that.
15:48:55 <glb> I don't want it to take up too much space on small smartphone screens.
15:48:56 <rlengland[m]> ...well, I mentioned it.  Do you want an issued filed on that ?
15:49:02 <glb> But I think it can be a little larger.
15:49:14 <glb> Oh, I thought you created an issue.
15:49:35 <glb> Yes, it is a good idea to keep track of these things with Pagure issues.
15:49:47 <rlengland[m]> 'k
15:50:24 <glb> Thanks Richard and TheEvilSkeleton.
15:50:37 <glb> Anything else?
15:50:41 <glb> going once
15:50:48 <TheEvilSkeleton> Fully flat design would be nice too, I'll open an issue on it so we can discuss there
15:50:53 <rlengland[m]> Adios
15:51:01 <glb> going twice
