19:00:43 <AlbertoRodrguezS> Hello
19:00:58 <riecatnor[m]> Hey Alberto :)
19:01:28 <AlbertoRodrguezS> :)
19:01:44 <mizmo> o/
19:01:46 <MadelinePeck[m]> Good afternoon everyone!
19:02:51 <riecatnor[m]> Heya Madeline Peck & Máirín Duffy !
19:03:01 <riecatnor[m]> how's everyone doing today?
19:03:15 <riecatnor[m]> I had a busy one, but not bad :)
19:03:40 <mizmo> keep me away from computers, lol, and everything will be fine
19:03:46 <mizmo> thats the kind of day 😉
19:03:47 <riecatnor[m]> hahahahha
19:04:09 <pbokoc> hi
19:04:28 <riecatnor[m]> hey pbokoc !
19:04:50 <riecatnor[m]> I had my first taste of time zone change fun today
19:05:00 <riecatnor[m]> lol, I overcame
19:05:04 <mizmo> oh gosh i saw that
19:05:15 <mizmo> you did well with it, i probably wouldnt have noticed
19:05:18 <riecatnor[m]> ;)
19:05:50 <MadelinePeck[m]> I'm having a good day! My second monitor has decided to no longer pick up the signal of my computer which is sad (I think maybe a converter cord) but all in all its gorgeous here in Boston
19:06:04 <riecatnor[m]> oh noes
19:06:12 <riecatnor[m]> second monitor is clutch!
19:06:28 <mizmo> Madeline Peck: I have a spare adapter, ill dm you a pic in case its the right one
19:06:47 <MadelinePeck[m]> Ah that'd be great!

19:09:35 <mizmo> wah-wah ☹️
19:10:31 <riecatnor[m]> #info Gitlab available (soon) for Fedora
19:10:33 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/gitlab-available-for-fedora/
19:11:10 <riecatnor[m]> I think that's all I have for today-- anyone else?
19:12:11 <mizmo> I had a couple of things
19:12:19 <riecatnor[m]> go for it!
19:12:38 <mizmo> So the first one which I think is very mindshare appropriate is the new tickets we have in the design queue for new official fedora t-shirts
19:12:44 <mizmo> https://pagure.io/design/issue/790
19:13:00 <mizmo> These would be listed in the Cool Stuff Store at redhat.com as well
19:13:41 <MadelinePeck[m]> Oooh!
19:13:42 <mizmo> If folks have distro/linux/tech T's they've seen that they really like, or honestly any T design that is inspirational, please feel free to share with us in the tickets
19:13:59 <mizmo> One idea that i think is neat is doing rotating limited edition designs
19:14:34 <riecatnor[m]> I saw quite a few tickets were opened about tshirts
19:14:45 <mizmo> yep thats all of em 🙂
19:14:52 <mizmo> they are linked to from that ticket
19:15:05 <riecatnor[m]> cool :)
19:15:16 <mizmo> The other thing that I wanted to bring up is the F model blog post I wrote that was published in the community blog today
19:15:27 <mizmo> https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/a-new-conceptual-model-for-fedora/
19:16:11 <riecatnor[m]> #info the Design Team is working on new tshirt designs!
19:16:13 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/design/issue/790
19:16:19 <mizmo> I would love any feedback Mindsharers might have on this.... it's going to drive the design for the main fedora webpage revamp, and I am hoping can be the framework for the key narrative we tell about Fedora moving forward
19:16:55 <riecatnor[m]> #info Mizmo has developed a new conceptual model for Fedora, feedback welcome!
19:16:58 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/a-new-conceptual-model-for-fedora/
19:17:29 <riecatnor[m]> I am not sure if you meant this to be a part of the info and announcements section, but I added them to the minutes as such :)
19:17:41 <mizmo> oh wfm!
19:18:19 <riecatnor[m]> I have a thought about the tshirts, which is that there most likely won't be budget/coordination resources to do all of these at once
19:19:06 <riecatnor[m]> it might be helpful for Mindshare to assist with some prioritization for the design team? or not necessary?
19:19:59 <mizmo> oh definitely!
19:20:04 <mizmo> that would be really helpful
19:20:34 <riecatnor[m]> Mo, could you open a Mindshare ticket for discussion ?
19:21:31 <riecatnor[m]> I have one more to add to this list as well, which is updated Ambassador polos
19:21:49 <riecatnor[m]> that is probably a more straightforward design tho?
19:21:49 <mizmo> sure thing
19:22:05 <riecatnor[m]> thank you, Máirín Duffy !
19:22:11 <mizmo> riecatnor: yeh i think so. could it use the same embroidery helloTux worked on
19:23:08 <riecatnor[m]> potentially- it would be great to run it through the cool stuff store tho, and I am working to determine rn if we are able to give them items produced by other vendors
19:23:26 <nb> does hellotux have newlogo? all i see on their site is old logo
19:23:43 <riecatnor[m]> with the cool stuff store, I can generate links for folks to claim the ambassador shirts and they will take care of all the shipping logistics
19:23:55 <riecatnor[m]> nb, we have been working with them on a new logo version
19:23:59 <nb> riecatnor[m] oh nice
19:24:04 <riecatnor[m]> I got proofs about a month ago and we gave them some feedback
19:25:38 <riecatnor[m]> that's all I got for now on the tshirts
19:25:47 <riecatnor[m]> the conceptual model looks lovely!
19:27:26 <mizmo> \o/
19:27:52 <riecatnor[m]> so, I have this feeling when I look at it like "non-coders are not represented" but then I am not sure they need to be or supposed to be here
19:28:07 <mizmo> they'd be at the green point
19:28:13 <mizmo> i kind of wonder if maybe it should be scaled
19:28:27 <mizmo> because as you go up the F (this is why i did the other two in that order) the # of people gets less and less
19:28:32 <riecatnor[m]> then I read that it is supposed to build a narrative for our web presence, I felt it was a good idea to raise the point
19:28:41 <mizmo> so maybe the bottom should be thicker and as you go up it gets narrower
19:29:02 <mizmo> the other idea is to show the different spins or use cases aroudn the desktop at the bottom
19:29:29 <riecatnor[m]> Maybe it is a second infographic that just highlights what desktop users can do with Fedora
19:29:35 <mizmo> that makes sense
19:30:19 <riecatnor[m]> cool, thats my only piece of feedback really :)
19:30:29 <AlbertoRodrguezS> I think the infography idea is great
19:31:01 <mizmo> thanks, very helpful 🙂
19:31:21 <riecatnor[m]> thanks for bringing those topics!

19:32:27 <riecatnor[m]> I think this is great, aiui, this is not a monetary sponsorship, they would just like to include our swag in their swag pack and put our logo on their website
19:34:29 <riecatnor[m]> any thoughts on this?
19:34:48 <mizmo> if its not monetary sure. if it is, i dont know!
19:35:04 <riecatnor[m]> it isn't- its a red hat organized event :)
19:35:05 <mizmo> a ton of fedora people go so it seems a great fit
19:35:14 <MadelinePeck[m]> ooh
19:35:23 <riecatnor[m]> agreed!
19:36:54 <riecatnor[m]> please add a +1 if you are in support
19:37:09 <AlbertoRodrguezS> +1
19:37:36 <AlbertoRodrguezS> Well, I already done it before
19:37:50 <riecatnor[m]> ;) thank you Alberto

19:38:58 <riecatnor[m]> I am working on scheduling the beat the bomb activity, thank you Máirín Duffy for connecting me with the right folks there
19:39:00 <nb> sounds good
19:39:05 <nb> to devconf
19:39:26 <riecatnor[m]> I have drafted a schedule for the release party and I am confirming with the speakers
19:39:39 <riecatnor[m]> (this is where my time zone fun happened)
19:40:21 <riecatnor[m]> I hope to have the schedule set by middle of next week
19:41:18 <nb> riecatnor[m] when you get the schedule set - i can build the session in hopin if you want
19:41:30 <riecatnor[m]> nb: that would be awesome!
19:41:43 <riecatnor[m]> Is the best way to contact you on Element?
19:41:57 <nb> Element is fine
19:42:00 <nb> @nb:fedora.im
19:42:02 <riecatnor[m]> ok cool :)
19:42:35 <riecatnor[m]> I dont have any other release party updates for now.. anyone else?
19:45:17 <riecatnor[m]> #topic open floor
19:45:58 <riecatnor[m]> I had something to bring to open floor- which is I would love to organize a fun event for the Mindshare Committee in the next couple months :)
19:46:18 <riecatnor[m]> We could also use a face to face type meeting, to take a look at some of these older tickets
19:46:57 <riecatnor[m]> The last virtual f2f we did was in June, so we are due for one soon
19:47:00 <mizmo> i like the idea of a virtual f2f
19:47:39 <riecatnor[m]> I like it too- I'd LOVE it if we were getting together in person
19:47:45 <riecatnor[m]> someday I am sure :)
19:48:00 <nb> yeah, i'd really like a real f2f
19:48:53 <riecatnor[m]> virtual is just not the same, but its better than nothin!!
19:50:05 <mizmo> I had one quick thing I wanted to drop in open floor, Colin Walters posted this yesterday and I think it's something we should think about as we talk about Fedora and develop materials for Fedora as well - you can see that Stephen on the Fedora Magazine editorial team is looking to use it as a guide to change how they refer to CoreOS & Silverblue in Fedora Magazine articles:
19:50:05 <mizmo> https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/its-more-fedora-than-it-is-fedora-noun/33864
19:50:22 <riecatnor[m]> my goals for the f2f would be to 1. connect 2. have fun 3. clean our repo of things we do not intend to pursue/no longer relevant
19:51:34 <riecatnor[m]> I think its a great clarification, and I agree Mairin
19:51:36 <riecatnor[m]> thanks for sharing
19:51:48 <riecatnor[m]> s/Mairin/Máirín Duffy /
19:56:10 <riecatnor[m]> ok peeps- that is all I have for today
19:56:21 <riecatnor[m]> hope everyone has a great weekend!
