Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
Greetings. :)<br><br>Pierre and others, thank you for your e-mails. :)<br>
<br>> Lately, I have spent sometime working on a web-application that would allow us to manage calendar: fedocal.<br><br>Understood.<br><div><br>> I started with the idea to replace the #fedora-meeting wiki page [1] which in addition from not being up to date relies on a mediawiki table which a number of person find really hard to handle/edit.<br><br>Understood. I strongly believe that any content "wiki, waki, or whatever" which is not updated is never to anyone's advantage.<br><br>> Additionally it should be able to handle meeting reminder in a consistent and automated manner.<br><br>That would be great.<br><br>> I also had in mind to be able to have a calendar for the infrastructure, things like planned outage and all.<br><br>I like that idea. Will "infrastructure" people update this?<br><br>> I spoke with some person about this at the last FUDCon in Paris and they told me, it might be interesting to have a calendar also available for the ambassad
ors. Something that could/would replace the Events page [2]. This means that on the contrary to the #fedora-meeting calendar, the ambassador one can have several meetings at the same time and that we should be able to assign them to a region (EMEA/APAC/LATAM/NA). I took this into account and added the desired functionality to fedocal.<br><br>Would multiple "events" for EMEA and APAC on the same day and at the same time be possible?<br><br>Would the "metrics" needed by FAmSCo on quarterly basis of events be easily accessible from this interface?<br><br>> I think I am now close to an alpha release so I would like to call for tester and feedback.<br>> Do you like it?<br>> Do you find it useful?<br>> What should be added?<br>> What simply doesn't work?<br><br>Is(are) there available test user(s) accounts to try and "add," "change," as well as "delete" calendar entries? I think a few accounts, let's say, one per region for testing may be useful to see how thi
ngs look with populated data from a timeframe such as a Release Date. Food for thought. :)<br><br>Questions:<br><br>* If the Meetings page [1] goes away and is replaced by this, how will the current agenda's be accessible to us as well as "non regular" Fedora Users?<br>* If the Events page [2] goes away and is replaced by this, then will the Reports and Photos links be accessible to us as well as "non regular" Fedora Users?<br>* I tried the "test" calendar link and clicked up a few years and I saw
this sample 2016 data at the [3] URL. Will meeting entries have a "stop" date?<br><br>> All can go to fedocal's trac:<br>> http://fedorahosted.org/fedocal<br><br>Good.<br><br>> If you are interested, I also wrote down some documentation:<br>> http://fedocal.rtfd.org<br><br>+1 for documentation.<br><br>> And of course, fedocal itself:<br>> https://fedocal.dev.fedoraproject.org<br><br>> It is still a very young project and I am still trying to determine if we want this and if it fits our needs.<br><br>That makes sense. When the next update occurs, then please ask for a review and feedback. I will examine accordingly.<br><br>> [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting_channel<br>> [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events<br>[3] https://fedocal.dev.fedoraproject.org/list/test/2016/<br><br>Sending positive Fedora energy to your computers now. :v)<br><br>
Please have a Great Fedora day and/or evening! :~)<br>
<br>
Thank You<br>
Sincerely<br>
