13:13:45 <FranciscoD_> Haf hardeborlaa vanessa_kris practice reviewing on #2018705 (python-mapbox-earcut) for music
13:14:05 <FranciscoD_> Haf: vanessa_kris ^ did we assign this to either of you yet?
13:14:16 <FranciscoD_> (I think hardeborlaa is no longer in the channel :( )
13:14:47 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: I don’t think so
13:15:03 <bittin> does not seem like they are
13:15:30 <FranciscoD_> OK, vanessa_kris we can assign this to you for your Outreachy task this week? Give you some more review practice?
13:16:03 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ assign rhbz #2018705 to vanessa_kris as Outreachy task for this week
13:16:16 <FranciscoD_> Haf hardeborlaa vanessa_kris practice reviewing on #2016779 also (python-cyipopt)
13:16:49 <FranciscoD_> ah, and another one: Haf hardeborlaa vanessa_kris practice reviewing #2026389 also
13:17:04 <FranciscoD_> OK, I'll give you maybe one or two at most to review vanessa_kris , that'll be enough practice for a week
13:17:31 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Alright 😅
13:18:22 <FranciscoD_> we'll take a look in the topic on open review tickets
13:18:37 <FranciscoD_> these are all the action items from the last meeting, moving to next topic
13:18:51 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open Pagure tickets
13:19:10 <FranciscoD_> #info Please open tickets on pagure and use the "next meeting" tag to mark them for discussion
13:19:24 <FranciscoD_> #info Nothing here this time: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issues?status=Open&tags=S%3A+Next+meeting (reading list is discussed in a differnt topic)
13:19:35 <FranciscoD_> #topic Packages health check
13:19:42 <FranciscoD_> #info Our packager dashboard is here: https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/neuro-sig
13:20:08 <bittin> some stuff fails to build, and some stuff that can be built?
13:21:05 <FranciscoD_> bittin: yeh, a few FTBFS builds, but it's best to wait till the F36 mass rebuild to work on those, because some may get fixed there (and others may break)
13:21:34 <bittin> ah can one be curious and ask when that is, if its decided yet?
13:22:16 <FranciscoD_> note that we have automation that files bugs for FTBFS/FTI packages according to the FESCo guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/
13:22:16 <FranciscoD_> So do keep an eye on all the bugs that are opened, we don't want something to get orphaned for this sort of thing :)
13:22:39 <FranciscoD_> bittin: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-36/f-36-key-tasks.html -> says Feb 08
13:22:46 <bittin> FranciscoD_, ah thanks :)
13:22:55 <oluyosola[m]> #info Oluyosola Afolabi(Oluyosola) UTC +1 (Nigeria) NeuroFedora
13:23:11 <FranciscoD_> hello oluyosola ! great to have you here
13:23:23 <FranciscoD_> oluyosola++
13:23:23 <zodbot> FranciscoD_: Karma for oluyosola changed to 2 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
13:23:41 <oluyosola[m]> FranciscoD_: I am glad to be here too
13:23:54 <oluyosola[m]> Sorry for coming late for the meeting house
13:24:07 <bittin> so anything special to discuss, or hoping everything survives the mass rebuilds 8th Feb ?
13:24:12 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: were you sort of keeping mne etc. up to date? vanessa_kris and I updated it recently, so do take a look to see if we messed up anything if you have a minute please?
13:24:24 <FranciscoD_> bittin: best to leave FTBFS till the mass rebuild
13:24:48 <FranciscoD_> Got some new versions, though, so please do work on them and open pull requests if you have the time
13:24:59 <bittin> okay :) (not that versed in the packing process but curious)
13:25:03 <FranciscoD_> most should be simple spec version bumps
13:25:24 <FranciscoD_> oluyosola[m]: no worries at all :)
13:25:42 <FranciscoD_> ah, hrm, I still need to update ITK
13:25:45 <FranciscoD_> that's a beast..
13:25:54 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ make time to update ITK
13:25:58 <MeWjOr> haha, not "keeping" it, but since I was using it (until recently), I loved pushing out the updates... but sure, will have a look definitely :D
13:26:24 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: is snakemake also a simplish package?
13:26:30 <MeWjOr> ITK XD
13:26:43 <FranciscoD_> if yes, we can put it on vanessa_kris 's task list for this week, for more update/PR practice
13:26:45 <MeWjOr> yep, it's quite simple, yes
13:26:52 <FranciscoD_> OK, cool
13:27:01 <MeWjOr> =b
13:27:13 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ add snakemake update to vanessa_kris 's Outreachy task list for this or next week
13:27:31 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_kris: anything you see there that you'd like to take on for some specific practice?
13:27:48 <FranciscoD_> if so, do let us know---we need to make sure that these tasks have a strong learning component for you
13:27:55 <FranciscoD_> oluyosola: same for you too ^
13:28:08 <FranciscoD_> we've always got lots of bits to help you practice specific tasks
13:28:17 <FranciscoD_> Haf: same for you too :) ^

13:34:58 <bittin> https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-git-changelog
13:35:01 <bittin> looks like it
13:35:26 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_kris: i think we forgot to mention the bug in the bodhi update---otherwise bodhi would've closed the bug when the update hit stable :)
13:35:58 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Oh what could be done?
13:35:58 <FranciscoD_> oluyosola: how about this one? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2017716
13:36:23 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_kris[m]: nothing now, it's  a minor tweak. i just closed the bug manually now instead of bodhi automatically doing it for us. All sorted 👍️

13:47:34 <omnidapps[m]> Hey guys - sorry I couldn’t make it today. Just got back from a weekend trip around Thailand. For next couple of weeks I’m not going to be taking any action items, but I’ll pick up some tasks if I find time. FranciscoD[m]
13:47:49 <FranciscoD_> omnidapps[m]: sure thing, sounds good! Hope you enjoyed your break :)
13:48:31 <FranciscoD_> bittin: this is a review, which talks about how we're now able to record more and more neurons from the brain, but we may now need new theoretical methods/frameworks to make sense of it all :)
13:48:52 <FranciscoD_> I'm not sure it's Open Access, so drop me a ping if you can't access it and i'll send you the PDF
13:49:19 <FranciscoD_> #info omnidapps[m] just got back from a trip and will take on action items in a few weeks
13:49:22 <MeWjOr> it is open access... :D
13:49:46 <FranciscoD_> phew, good!
13:50:07 <FranciscoD_> So, please feel free to add any new ones that you may come across on the planets
13:50:12 <bittin> says it costs 32$ here but oh well

13:51:18 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: I just noticed that neither planet gives a description of what is collects, maybe I should add a line on top to explain? WDYT?
13:52:05 <FranciscoD_> #topic Next meeting day, and chair
13:52:11 <FranciscoD_> In 2 weeks, same time (1300 UTC)?
13:52:14 <MeWjOr> ohh, definitely a good idea... a description would definitely help people who are new to it
13:52:18 <FranciscoD_> if that works for you, please say "+1"
13:52:23 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: great, I'll add one
13:52:33 <bittin> +-0 (not sure yet)
13:52:34 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ add short description to planets describing what they do
13:52:35 <MeWjOr> awesome! let me know if I can help ;D

13:55:00 <MeWjOr> you can also search the articles on google scholar and it often provides many resources which are providing the PDF for free
13:55:11 <FranciscoD_> OK, so next meeting will be at the same time in 2 weeks on Jan 31
13:55:18 <bittin> yep
13:55:26 <FranciscoD_> #agreed next meeting on Jan 31 at 1300 UTC
13:55:33 <bittin> MeWjOr, ah ok
13:55:34 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ write up announcement blog post etc.
13:55:39 <FranciscoD_> who'd like to chair the next one?
13:55:49 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_kris: MeWjOr oluyosola ?
13:56:03 <FranciscoD_> (bittin:  not asking you because you may not make it)
13:56:11 <bittin> true
13:56:30 <bittin> (might be back at work then)
13:56:37 <MeWjOr> I wouldn't be too sure about myself, either... I have to manage two computers now and its a mess :'(
13:57:02 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: ugh, yeh, I had to install Anydesk on my work computer to use it from home. :(
13:57:17 <FranciscoD_> behind uni network etc. so no possibility of ssh/vnc 😢
13:57:25 <FranciscoD_> OK, I'll chair again in two weeks, no problem
13:57:32 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ chair next meeting
13:57:38 <MeWjOr> wish they provided this much flexibility in corporate :clown:
13:57:41 <bittin> so Open Floor time ?
13:57:45 <FranciscoD_> yep
13:57:50 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open floor
13:57:53 * bittin does not have anything
13:57:59 <FranciscoD_> Anything that wasn't on the agenda is welcome here

13:58:26 <FranciscoD_> Thanks all for coming, great to have so many folks at the meeting
13:58:38 <MeWjOr> :D
13:58:40 <FranciscoD_> if there's anything we can help with, do drop a ping here in the channel and someone will get back to you ASAP
13:58:58 <MeWjOr> is there a way we can setup matrix on mobile?
13:59:10 <FranciscoD_> MeWjOr: yeh, just download the element app. Works great.
13:59:16 <bittin> Element has an iOS/Android client
13:59:23 <bittin> / app
13:59:33 <FranciscoD_> you can use it to login to the fedora homeserver, and general matrix both
13:59:38 <FranciscoD_> i.e., it supports "spaces"
13:59:40 <MeWjOr> ooohh,, I didn't know about this... thanks!
