February 2010 - docs - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Eli

Hello, I wanted to send my self-intro and get my name out to everyone. My name is Eli and I live in Minnesota. I have a lot of interest in Fedora and would like to contribute where I can be of the most help. I do a lot of reading and editing of manuals and guides at work. I have good set of computer skills but I have never taken any college courses on the computer. It has all been self-taught. So I can make my way around but don't know the "technical" aspects. I have no programming skills and minimal command line skills. But I can write well and project what I am trying to say. I have been using GNU/Linux for about a year and a half. I have only used Gnome and will probably stick with that. I am really self-motivated and take pride in my work. I am open to trying new things and definitely learning all the things I can learn about Linux and Fedora in particular. And that I hope can have an impact on what Fedora is and will become in the future. I might need some help navigating around to start out with, and I'm sure I'm not the first to ask. But once I can get going and figure out what is where, I will be well on my way. Its taken me a little time to get all this figured out and I hope it correct. Thank you for your time. And I look forward to helping out the team and working with others on any projects.

Is it to get any N% closed? Or do we want to concentrate on a specific set and close them first, moving on afterward? 00:47:21 <sparks> not sure what's there... I'm guessing that RN bugs can be dealt with first but it may be that someone just needs help reviewing something they've worked on. 00:48:12 <stickster> sparks: Here's what I'd start with -- see if there are large bunches of bugs you can fit into one logical group. If you can find a couple groups that are *super-easy* to close, let's start with those 00:48:18 <stickster> That should get us rolling 00:48:38 <stickster> Then move on to a group of bugs that maybe is more substantial, but important to us getting deliverables out for F13. 00:48:47 * stickster pulls up list 00:49:12 <stickster> sparks: We shouldn't worry about anything ASSIGNED. If it's ASSIGNED, someone should be working on it 00:49:24 <stickster> or at least know about it to the extent that we don't need to spend cycles on it right away 00:49:38 <sparks> Well... If it's assigned they SHOULD be working on it but there are some old ASSIGNED bugs 00:50:02 <sparks> We only have 24 NEW bugs 00:50:09 <sparks> so that shouldn't be awful to fix 00:50:19 <stickster> sparks: Let's talk about this on list, I don't want to waste everyone's meeting time 00:50:24 <stickster> But I think we can come up with a plan :-) 00:50:28 <sparks> Works 00:50:33 <stickster> sparks: Start the conversation on docs pls, and I'll help 00:50:34 <sparks> Okay, anything else? 00:50:52 <stickster> just need an #action 00:51:10 <sparks> what kind of an #action? 00:51:40 <stickster> action to start the convo ;-) 00:52:03 <sparks> #action sparks to start a conversation on the docs list to discuss the bug busting session 00:52:40 <sparks> #topic All other business 00:53:02 <sparks> Okay, we've reached the end of our agenda. Anyone have anything else they'd like to discuss? 00:53:26 <stickster> sparks: We can go into the bug thing a little further, and then you'd have something to start with 00:53:27 * jsmith has nothing 00:53:33 <stickster> We'll cut off at the hour 00:53:51 <sparks> jsmith: Thanks for being here tonight! 00:53:55 <stickster> Hey jsmith! 00:54:11 <stickster> So proceeding from what I was saying above... we could start by (1) triaging NEW bugs 00:54:14 <jjmcd> Looks to me like a huge fraction of the bugs are review requests 00:54:29 <stickster> then (2) moving to old ASSIGNED bugs, < #500000 00:54:36 <jsmith> sparks: I'm not sure I was much help, but I'm happy to be here when I can. 00:54:46 <jsmith> sparks: (You caught me on the road, so I had a few free minutes tonight) 00:55:02 <sparks> jsmith: Hope to hog-tie you again! 00:55:43 <stickster> The more the merrier :-) 00:55:45 <sparks> Okay, anything else? 00:55:55 <stickster> sparks: What would you suggest for (3)? 00:56:26 <sparks> start hitting the assigned bugs. 00:56:32 <stickster> sparks: Any in particular? 00:56:42 <stickster> relnotes first? IG first? 00:56:46 <stickster> What needs to be done first on the schedule? 00:56:47 <sparks> The review bugs might not be so high priority but they would be easy to complete 00:57:02 <jsmith> I tend to agree with stickster... we need a big more planning to hit the highest priority first 00:57:20 <jsmith> Sure, we could just do the low-hanging fruit, but that's not what's most important, right? 00:57:31 <sparks> The guides table already has a L10N priority assigned to each guide that is a priority so we could use that. 00:57:35 <stickster> jsmith: What do you think about (1) and (2)? Do you think a triage and killing off old weeds is a good or bad way to start? 00:57:52 <stickster> sparks: That's an excellent point! 00:58:11 <jsmith> stickster: I think it's a decent way to start... you know, get some eyes on the landscape, so we know how many acres we need to plow.... 00:58:14 <sparks> Old weeds are a problem. If people (customers) have asked for support and haven't received it then it makes Fedora look bad. 00:58:49 <stickster> Also we might find out where people's comfort zones are{,n't} with Bugzilla 00:59:03 <stickster> So we can put specific people on certain tracks for part (3) 00:59:28 * stickster <eof/> 00:59:30 <jjmcd> Maybe we need a bugzilla class for guide owners 00:59:38 <jjmcd> it is a pretty darned handy tool 00:59:44 <stickster> Might be more like a 15-minute primer 00:59:44 <sparks> It is a handy tool 00:59:55 <sparks> I haven't heard anyone say that they didn't know how to interact with it, though. 00:59:57 * quaid arrived just in time for farm analogies 01:00:06 <stickster> It's not hard to understand on its own, and it's really workflow that people don't grok right off 01:00:11 <stickster> quaid: You're just in time for the bell 01:00:17 <stickster> I promised to shut up at the hour mark :-) 01:00:26 <jjmcd> Sounds like you missed 01:00:35 <sparks> stickster: I don't believe you specified which hour 01:01:37 <sparks> Well, let's discuss which bugs to swat at first on the list 01:01:45 <sparks> I'll start the discussion there. 01:01:50 <sparks> Anyone have anything else? 01:02:58 <sparks> Okay... Well, thanks everyone for coming tonight. Come back next week and we'll do it all over again. Until then we can discuss all this on the list. 01:03:04 <sparks> #endmeeting - -- - --Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJLhc72AAoJEDbiLlqcYamxiIoP/RI6ViIiLxJdxrh6UiQ3G/yi 1PXtdVxBN5NyvJMomhW4EU8Z1fvnBRoMdKWkBEh6pV2WBUbkT2LruDefjuO7tdQj zIukyKU3+u9ADxVJAeL0nmDA1NrlFLBB+g7EqRXfI0LqicMTRZhgCoi7HXoi75Ma yntCNeZEGRiEdcolIcXEN/A+5cxhL8B8RIGjcmLSTLTXSNQioRGLJj+eFLaijbpH Jfx8FBhLqU7z/JCbmhgrZ1o3ujjIV+OuplUH/yzRwiHXU/Pc5KJZElMNm7IhiV9/ VhNxM5GQ+NOzF5DnnVpIKiy8ZbuDvPozO0ZVyqXuAhQmUOw5ROxiuk2wcltM0COo zkpKOvzHZ8yD3GNq9pPFQnjlOeR9VFsG6JeZ3olRLybDOAm+t+D5CGHntUWeFYY6 OIx8tQq574pJfdE18Ac+IcqsetZ5WWSibZQF57wxUZ7d4UlxO2nhcaH/oxPcwLj6 z24iqM5ApyjSI8K6sOc42aAslIBMTSmIlB8YuJAwLT2woau2pVvjVAy2ES/H8/vw MzMlhxtGVli9wnMKDP3OixnHC2FaLccE2VatkBKhJkbu9U6QxCniEMLZdRFm4OHz GCmSZLPQfQ7I2tUErWV38VPNBhKHITY/yYPuEODizN/7LadwEyWZDABTohzf9Yt7 dHrv4a3oRdvRx6DHNXfQ =VJ28 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I want to talk about Transifex. 00:38:52 <rudi> That permission issue is also what was blocking branching 00:39:07 <stickster> #topic Transifex update 00:39:07 <rudi> Sorry, PackageKit issue 00:39:29 <stickster> oops rudi, did I go past you there? 00:39:41 <rudi> Yeah; but it's no biggie 00:39:53 <stickster> #undo 00:39:54 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x2b6f969a4710> 00:39:57 <stickster> oh bugger 00:40:01 <stickster> #action sparks will push F12 updated rpm pursuant to jjmcd's change for PackageKit info 00:40:11 <stickster> Well, sorry zodbot and all :-D 00:40:15 <jjmcd> We basically need to craft some weasel words 00:40:18 <stickster> yeah 00:40:44 <stickster> #undo 00:40:45 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x2b6f945ba5d0> 00:40:49 <stickster> OK, now we're clean :-) 00:40:54 <sparks> stickster: You're good, nwo 00:40:55 <sparks> now 00:41:05 <joebebus> Isn't Transifex for translating documents? 00:41:15 <stickster> rudi: So the PK issue needs to be fixed before branching? 00:41:21 <sparks> joebebus: Yes... 00:41:26 <joebebus> ok 00:41:35 <joebebus> I am reading about it 00:41:56 <jjmcd> We still have some weeks before we HAVE to branch 00:42:07 <rudi> I think so, yes 00:42:23 <stickster> rudi: jjmcd: sparks: Is it just that we want to fix it so the new branch inherits the change? 00:42:28 <stickster> I'm confused, but that's not new for me 00:42:38 <sparks> Well... 00:42:47 <jjmcd> No, the release notes are a start from scratch 00:42:47 <rudi> jjmcd -- yeah, this time round though, the branching will also have implications for POT/PO file generation 00:43:06 <stickster> time out guys 00:43:22 <stickster> Are we talking about the PackageKit security policy change issue now, or Transifex? 00:43:27 <sparks> PK 00:43:29 <jjmcd> Tfx 00:43:33 <jjmcd> LOL 00:43:34 <stickster> haha 00:43:36 <stickster> See? 00:43:37 <joebebus> LOL 00:43:39 <rudi> jjmcd -- including those bits of boilerplate test that don't change much from release to release 00:43:47 <sparks> rudi: What are YOU talking about? 00:43:56 <stickster> Yeah, let's get one topic at a time. 00:44:04 <rudi> Both; the one being the trigger for the other 00:44:18 <stickster> rudi: How so? 00:44:18 <sparks> rudi: So can we move the topic to Transifex? 00:44:43 <rudi> stickster -- it's always been our intention to leave past releases of guides in a buildable state 00:44:57 <rudi> So once the PK issue is solved in the release notes 00:45:01 <sparks> #topic Transifec update 00:45:17 <rudi> We can branch at that point to leave the RN in a (publican 0) buildable state 00:45:23 <joebebus> Transifec? 00:45:26 <stickster> rudi: I get it. 00:45:37 <sparks> #undo 00:45:37 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x2b6f966bc150> 00:45:40 * sparks stops trying 00:45:48 <stickster> #topic Transifex update 00:45:51 <rudi> Yeah; so we can then move on to make the Master branch (and therefore F13) Publican 1 buildable 00:45:55 <jjmcd> OK, so the F13 branch (Publican 1) waits until we are done with the F12 RPM 00:46:11 <rudi> Which is a prerequisite for *whatever* Tx solution we go with 00:46:23 <rudi> jjmcd -- exactly! :) 00:46:33 <jjmcd> OK, np 00:46:57 <jjmcd> I see the F12 update within the next couple weeks, we have some time before we can actually begin F13 XML 00:46:58 <stickster> rudi: So are we waiting so that we don't have to enter a second "project" into Tx to handle translating the small bit of fixed content for PK? 00:47:41 <jjmcd> stickster, there are another 5-10 bugs already fixed in git waiting for a build so it's not just Pk 00:47:47 <rudi> More that we can close off the F12 doc in a sane state 00:48:32 <stickster> O... K... I guess I'm still a bit confused, because I thought the point of branching was to enable that work to continue without holding up the other branch(es) 00:48:40 <stickster> But let's move on, you don't need to convince me :-) 00:48:54 <sparks> So... 00:49:15 <sparks> What's the status of Transifex? I know there were several updates to the ticket but I haven't had a chance to look at them. 00:49:25 <stickster> There is a staging instance at https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/ 00:49:31 <stickster> It uses your FAS credentials. 00:49:47 <ricky> It's currently waiting on more testing - my two tests have worked fine, and we've worked out the last bug in the migration instructions, as far as I know 00:50:06 <ricky> Note that it uses the credentials from admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/accounts/, so if you changed your password recently, the data could be out of sync with the real FAS 00:50:21 <ricky> There are two test repos setup - please test :-) 00:50:33 <stickster> ricky: Oh yeah, I forgot that part. Everyone ignore my FAS statement :-) 00:50:41 <stickster> ricky: What do you need people to test? 00:50:54 <stickster> #link https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/ 00:51:12 <ricky> Translators should probably check that their translation submissions work fine, and that the multi-POT support works as expected 00:51:30 <ricky> If they don't find any failures, then we should be ready to move onto production 00:51:47 <stickster> #info Needs more testing by Docs and L10n, specifically translators should check that submissions work; Docs people should test that multi-POT (Publican-style) support is working 00:51:58 <ricky> Note that submissions are only enabled to the test repos 00:52:13 <ricky> So refreshing stats on any other repos will most likely fail - that's expected 00:52:16 <stickster> ricky: Is that just the two that are listed in the ticket? 00:52:27 <ricky> The test repos are in https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/publican/ 00:52:33 <ricky> And one more thing that translators should be aware of 00:52:51 <ricky> This release of transifex changes URLs - the /p/ in the above URL didn't use to be there 00:52:58 <ricky> So just something to note 00:53:11 <stickster> #info submissions are only enabled to the test repos at https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/publican/ 00:53:23 <stickster> #info note extra /p/ in that URL 00:54:13 <stickster> ricky: The "localhost" repo is something anyone can push random crap to and it won't affect the actual Virtualization Guide repo on fedorahosted, right? 00:54:42 <ricky> Yup - I should actually correct my statement again 00:54:49 <ricky> submissions are only enabled to the localhost test repo, sorry :-) 00:54:57 <stickster> Yes, just discovered that too 00:55:02 <stickster> #undo 00:55:03 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x28010610> 00:55:03 <stickster> #undo 00:55:04 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x28010dd0> 00:55:20 <stickster> #info submissions are only enabled to the "virt-guide-localhost" test repo at https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/projects/p/publican/ 00:55:24 <stickster> #info note extra /p/ in that URL 00:55:32 * jjmcd suspects that stickster must be an old HP calculator guy 00:55:37 <stickster> heh 00:55:43 <jjmcd> or forth programmer 00:55:45 <stickster> rudi: This reminds me of something 00:56:13 <stickster> rudi: There is a problem in ccurran's Virtualization_Guide repo, in that he's got both multi-POT format in the pot/ folder, and a standard single-POT in the po/ folder 00:56:36 <stickster> rudi: He may have been maintaning that for compatibility reasons while Tx was broken 00:56:39 <rudi> Let me see 00:56:56 <rudi> It might also have to do with the choice of book... 00:56:59 <stickster> But when Tx is fixed, that hack will break 00:57:09 <rudi> Neither of the directories linked to were ever intended for Tx access 00:57:17 <stickster> Aha 00:57:21 <rudi> s/directories/branches 00:57:31 <stickster> Well, as it turns out, if you get rid of the po/ file all works as expected 00:57:37 <stickster> s/file/folder/ 00:58:45 <stickster> OK, so specifically... rudi, will you check that behavior here on the staging instance is what you expect? 00:59:19 * stickster looking for action items so we can give Infra what they need to move this to production when the freeze ends, and get on with the biz 01:00:08 <stickster> rudi: If you want to check a specific guide, make the request in the ticket and I'm sure ricky will be happy to add it to the Tx-staging instance. 01:00:39 <rudi> stickster -- I'll check 01:00:53 <stickster> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1455 01:01:02 <rudi> And I confirm that the doubled-up PO files exist even in the branch intended for Tx access (f12-tx) 01:01:24 <rudi> I'm sure it's just an oversight on my part (I handled the branching) 01:02:23 <stickster> #action rudi to check on Tx staging behavior for one or more official guides and will report results to https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1455 01:02:29 <stickster> Anything else on this then? 01:02:41 <rudi> First impressions are that it's right on the money! :) 01:02:47 <stickster> yeah baby! 01:03:13 <stickster> Shall we move on? 01:03:23 <joebebus> Ok 01:03:45 <stickster> sparks: ready? 01:03:52 <joebebus> I am 01:03:54 <sparks> Okay 01:04:09 <sparks> #topic Making docs.fp.o accessible for non-JavaScript equipped browsers 01:04:20 <sparks> Since rudi is here tonight... 01:04:42 <rudi> I've always been here :) 01:04:49 <rudi> Just muzzled :) 01:05:07 <sparks> Last week we discussed an alternative to the JavaScript for docs.fp.o. 01:05:18 <rudi> Yep; I'm good to take that 01:05:20 <sparks> rudi: Can you make that page non-JS capable? 01:05:24 <sparks> TU 01:05:35 <sparks> moving on 01:05:40 <rudi> NP 01:05:44 <sparks> #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 01:05:53 <sparks> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&classificat... 01:06:04 <stickster> rudi: There's a bug for that JS issue by the way 01:06:14 <stickster> rudi: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544656 01:06:19 <rudi> Thanks :) 01:06:23 <stickster> np, hth 01:06:28 <sparks> I'm still planning on planning a bug killing session on an upcoming weekend. 01:06:36 <stickster> Any idea which weekend? 01:06:45 * stickster will set aside some time to help as long as he can plan for it 01:06:48 <sparks> BUT, don't let that stop you from visiting the above link and starting today! 01:07:09 <sparks> stickster: I don't. I haven't been able to get farther than the next day in my calendar. 01:07:42 <stickster> sparks: Can we pencil something in now? I find that's very helpful in getting people to commit. 01:08:05 <stickster> i.e. "Show up on X date" as opposed to "Let's do this someday" 01:08:20 <sparks> How about March 6? 01:08:25 <stickster> sparks: THAT IS WEIRD. 01:08:30 <stickster> I was looking at the exact same weekend. 01:08:50 <sparks> :) 01:09:13 <stickster> Cool, shall we set aside, say, 10am-4pm EST as core hours? 01:09:36 <sparks> WORKSFORME 01:09:49 <stickster> Work can continue late if we have West Coasties, and/or we can add a late night session EST to catch anyone willing/able in BNE 01:09:56 <stickster> jjmcd: Sound do-able? 01:10:04 <stickster> quaid: ^^^ 01:10:12 <jjmcd> Looks like one of the few weekends I CAN make it 01:10:16 <stickster> awesome! 01:10:33 <joebebus> I'd have to check my calendar 01:11:01 <stickster> #agreed Saturday March 6, 10am-4pm EST (1500-2100 UTC) for Docs bug stomping session! 01:11:02 * sparks marks his calendar appropriately 01:11:23 <joebebus> I like late night sessions 01:11:26 <joebebus> I think I can make it 01:11:57 <stickster> #undo 01:11:58 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Agreed object at 0x28010dd0> 01:12:01 * quaid reads up 01:12:02 <stickster> #agreed Saturday March 6, 10am-4pm EST (1500-2100 UTC) for Docs bug stomping session in IRC Freenode #fedora-docs 01:12:20 <stickster> #info core hours can be extended for extra participation 01:12:28 <joebebus> Ah I make a mistake. That is good too 01:12:32 * quaid is great with that weekend 01:12:34 <joebebus> That time is good 01:12:38 <joebebus> me too 01:13:01 <stickster> WOOHOO! 01:13:32 <stickster> sparks: Will you announce on Planet? 01:13:32 <sparks> Okay, anything else on this? 01:13:54 <sparks> #action sparks to announce the bug stomping session on Planet 01:13:58 <stickster> w00t 01:14:33 * stickster is close to hard stop, fyi 01:14:37 <sparks> Anything else on this? 01:14:46 <stickster> nada 01:15:09 <sparks> #topic Anything else? 01:15:18 <sparks> Anything else anyone wants to talk about? 01:15:37 <joebebus> What if I need help with writing on the RN? 01:15:46 * jjmcd will be around 01:15:55 <joebebus> ok 01:16:12 <stickster> joebebus: Feel free to pipe up on IRC #fedora-docs anytime 01:16:14 <jjmcd> Ping me on #Fedora-docs 01:16:21 <joebebus> Ok 01:16:21 <jjmcd> Yeah, exactly 01:16:37 <joebebus> I will be sure to do that if (when) I need help 01:16:37 <stickster> joebebus: camping there is welcome, we can help you with that if needed 01:16:38 <jjmcd> There are lots of people not typing there 01:17:05 <jjmcd> or dm me on twitter if you have to :-) 01:17:10 <joebebus> ok 01:17:10 <stickster> sparks: I'm really happy to see a new contributor here tonight. I'd like to see if we can ramp up a few people who've piped up on the list recently. 01:17:30 <sparks> Yeah, I need to play some serious catch up on the list. 01:17:43 <stickster> We seem to lose people right at the outset if we don't get them involved quickly with an easy social contact. 01:18:07 <joebebus> I have noticed that 01:18:12 <stickster> My involvement with Fedora probably turned very specifically on my contact with quaid 01:18:24 <jjmcd> Yeah, we need more folks looking over the list. If i'm heads-down on something, odds are sparks is too 01:19:01 <stickster> The list is not very high traffic, so we can do a lot better with on-ramping 01:19:33 <sparks> Okay, anything else? 01:19:36 <rudi> It would also help if we had a nice queue of easy tasks somewhere that we could feed to people as they come on board 01:19:50 <joebebus> I second that 01:19:54 <stickster> rudi: Yes. I proposed one to new entrant Eliot Smith this afternoon 01:19:57 <rudi> Tsagadai suggested this some time ago, but we haven't managed to pull it off yet 01:20:13 <stickster> rudi: It's as simple as marking bugs in our queue with EasyFix keyword. 01:20:22 <rudi> True 01:20:24 <stickster> That's an existing, well known keyword project wide 01:21:00 <stickster> #info Use EasyFix keyword for easy BZ bugs for new people 01:21:03 <sparks> I'm not sure what would be considered "easy" 01:21:26 <sparks> You have to know how to interface with the guides and how to file a diff... 01:21:37 <stickster> sparks: That information should be on the wiki page for each guide. 01:21:40 <stickster> If it's not, that's a bug. 01:21:59 <stickster> So the EasyFix can apply to: 01:22:08 <stickster> 1. Read the guide's Trac wiki page to check it out 01:22:12 <stickster> 2. Make the small fix needed 01:22:19 <stickster> 3. Read the guide's Trac wiki page to email your patch 01:22:22 <stickster> done. 01:23:17 <stickster> The things that happen in between 1 and 3 are where people may need mentoring, and that's natural and expected. We need to take advantage of that stage to be convivial, helpful, and grateful :-) 01:23:25 * stickster eof 01:23:36 <stickster> I have to run guys 01:23:39 <stickster> Thanks for the great meeting 01:23:54 <sparks> Okay... anyone have anything else? 01:24:02 <jjmcd> sparks, it was a really great meeting 01:24:12 <joebebus> it was :-) 01:24:24 <sparks> Well, glad folks came out to make it great! 01:24:34 <sparks> thanks everyone 01:24:37 <sparks> #endmeeting - -- - --Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJLhc6vAAoJEDbiLlqcYamxtt0QAKVOQB7cncvXwvkUATmqcFdH Rlxk3LGNB+uLkOn2HdRviH12iyplQnbbZHu4a5D+dytbgQUZZ3tSDWnvAcOKKudR PQoQcqgE3mDVjYAS/ou/3Gd9wo/qTaFMFVmPhClitoHo1eTWnBD4UrcsTTcQJRub itkYGQC2S6AApIL6sGQHiVKm+P3QLNr5WvCUseizHfjamlDvQtSGyRRlGpsHjuXG wz7Zd8YmKj5D4i8s42pvMHhQijKzghZ8b2cUq8LdxOooSkokZm6W6AOQFkocQgw5 H3u6YUwajBgJrF/f0eHjstIhKvnuCOgkYrcr5I2OFqYNuv+fDkntvpMQr8PauBKy 2m+W3o07dd75OP/dI8wD3U9Czd5dwDB+MnRuFSi9zE1cCrIGcmZg8S3UDKce8MGp 4dty2aeNQlnx/XFS3UJ8LY0SovWPQjNjJm56jNi+nbLhtZa2+TggWjCAqpR+rp+F 2ZCa2tySlzUwuV9Iovu7wuM+1oX/yx5oqBHRVoMF8KZgQxINo0wSKLt9ZFKynnZ9 rXfZ39zM1R2xnWgm0ALF5JWBidpwk2y2PE/CW1yVUd1tstd8pp+CyAs3/CJ0mdEJ YOPzbfX/ysfZq5BHtVLJKxG6bOul0aPSi/MOuqhn7pNkNixKJolR8DI21yUmteFw DfgnlNJnhcbs442hdoSy =/X2H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Let's get started. 00:06:50 <sparks> #topic Desktop Help Summit 00:07:07 <sparks> #link http://live.gnome.org/DesktopHelpSummit2010 00:07:16 <sparks> jjmcd: Are you still planning on going? 00:07:26 <jjmcd> yes of course 00:07:30 <sparks> Great! 00:07:45 <laubersm> I know I will NOT be in Chicago the week before or after... they couldn't get me scheduled there. 00:07:53 <laubersm> I do not know where I will be those weeks though 00:07:54 <jjmcd> bummer 00:08:01 <sparks> laubersm: Handy. Isn't that always how it works? 00:08:13 <jjmcd> But at least now I can be pretty confident there won't be a Monday 00:08:14 <quaid> can we use the power of remote access? 00:08:21 <sparks> Did we ever figure out a remote solution for shaunm? 00:08:25 <laubersm> If it is not too hard to work out the travel, there is still an option - it is penciled in on my calendar 00:08:35 <jjmcd> We've been talking about that 00:08:53 <stickster> sparks: I mentioned several last week. shaunm didn't follow up with me about anything. 00:08:57 <sparks> okay 00:09:05 <laubersm> remote options would be good. 00:09:08 <stickster> shaunm: I suggested several options last meeting, including IRC and Fedora Talk. 00:09:16 <stickster> shaunm: What would help you move forward with this? 00:09:18 <sparks> Can someone follow up with shaunm on remoting the Summit? 00:09:30 <stickster> Do you want me to raise a topic on our docs list, or elsewhere? Or something else? 00:09:51 * sparks didn't see shaunm on the roll call... 00:09:58 <sparks> stickster: Maybe email directly? 00:10:04 <quaid> stickster: cool, on list would mean we could contact people who may have the new Events A/V Kit (right?) 00:10:06 * stickster thinks we need to have a specific commitment from shaunm that he can do one or more of some remote access thingy. 00:10:19 <quaid> +1 00:10:19 <stickster> quaid: Sure 00:10:24 <jjmcd> I think we concluded all we needed was a conference phone 00:10:38 <quaid> yep 00:10:42 <jjmcd> Since there is a Chicago dial in number 00:10:48 <quaid> "all we need" is sometimes a long way, though 00:10:49 <stickster> So let's be clear about what you want me to do 00:10:52 <sparks> #action stickster to work with shaunm on remoting the Desktop Help Summit and make sure everything is squared away. 00:10:57 <sparks> :) 00:11:00 <stickster> let's be clearer than that please. 00:11:15 <stickster> 1. See if shaunm is willing to run an IRC session in real time alongside hacking 00:11:20 <jjmcd> Yes, make sure we have a conference phone and a phone line where we will be meeting 00:11:27 <stickster> 2. See if shaunm will have access to a conference-able phone. 00:11:41 <quaid> 3. Gobby 00:11:43 <quaid> 4. Wiki 00:11:55 <stickster> Wiki is not that good for realtime participation, frankly. 00:12:05 <stickster> Although if it's needed, certainly GNOME has one. 00:12:22 <stickster> Wiki is great for capturing things to a more semi-permanent state, just not good for r-t collaboration. 00:12:29 <quaid> wiki is crucial for ongoing status updates to allow for async 00:12:39 <stickster> or meetbot 00:12:42 <quaid> every ~1 hour dump gobby docs 00:12:47 <quaid> well, sort of 00:13:08 <sparks> We have a lot of options... I'm not sure shaunm has had them all laid out in front of him, though. 00:13:16 <quaid> this all comes down to, are folks who are present willing to assign documenters, etc. 00:13:23 <sparks> He liked the idea of using Talk, IIRC. 00:13:31 * stickster wonders if he can #action properly hee 00:13:33 <stickster> *here 00:13:39 <sparks> you should be able to 00:13:48 <sparks> #chair stickster 00:13:48 <zodbot> Current chairs: jjmcd sparks stickster 00:13:51 <sparks> just to be sure 00:14:00 <stickster> #action stickster Find out if shaunm or proxy is willing to run IRC in real time during hackfest 00:14:07 <stickster> #undo 00:14:08 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0xff73550> 00:14:10 <stickster> #undo 00:14:11 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x2b599d4ed6d0> 00:14:13 <stickster> #action stickster Find out if shaunm or proxy is willing to run IRC in real time during hackfest 00:14:22 <stickster> #action stickster Find out if shaunm will have access to conference phone 00:14:47 * sparks forgets about #undo 00:14:55 <stickster> #action stickster Find out if shaunm wants to use gobby.fp.o or wiki for other collaboration options 00:15:01 <stickster> OK, anything else? 00:15:01 * laubersm thinks undo is cool 00:15:30 * sparks thinks that is all... 00:15:46 <sparks> stickster: did we ever get that recording of conference rooms working? 00:15:51 <stickster> sparks: Yes 00:16:08 <sparks> might want to mention that as well 00:16:22 <stickster> What's not ready is a web app to make it a smoother fit for people who don't know much about it. 00:16:42 <stickster> #action stickster Provide pointers to shaunm for Fedora Talk recording options 00:17:09 <shaunm> oh, shaun shaunm shaunm 00:17:42 <sparks> heh... speak his name enough and he appears! 00:17:46 <shaunm> IRC absolutely yes. don't see any problems with that. I need to check if we can get a conference phone 00:17:54 * shaunm puts it on his todo list for tomorrow morning 00:18:03 <stickster> hehehe 00:18:29 <stickster> shaunm: We're big Gobby fans around here too 00:18:39 <shaunm> do we want to transcribe to irc real-time? 00:18:54 <quaid> as close as you can 00:19:04 <laubersm> I will likely only be able to participate remotely 00:19:07 <laubersm> so yes 00:19:08 <quaid> if >1 person is in IRC and transcribing/note taking 00:19:11 <stickster> shaunm: At our live sessions, we rotate duty for that around the room per hour or so 00:19:18 <laubersm> it also make good logs 00:19:20 <stickster> So no one's stuck doing it all day. 00:19:26 <quaid> what about projecting IRC on the wall so people can more closely participate? 00:19:49 <stickster> shaunm: Will you have a projector available at the site? 00:20:25 <shaunm> yes 00:20:32 <jjmcd> 3 - slides, gobby, irc 00:20:34 <stickster> shaunm: Awesome! 00:20:47 <stickster> #info shaunm will have a projector at the site, and is checking into the availability of a conference phone. 00:20:56 <shaunm> (so I was told. I should double-check that though) 00:20:59 <sparks> shaunm: We also have meetbot, too 00:21:32 <shaunm> yes, I'm jealous of your bot's powers. I want him for my gnome meetings 00:21:42 <sparks> we rent him out on the weekends 00:21:51 <shaunm> heh 00:22:07 <jjmcd> shaunm, I think we stole him from some other distro 00:22:24 <jjmcd> They're still trying to find him 00:22:44 <sparks> shhh they may be listening! 00:23:18 <stickster> shaunm: Why don't we make a meeting room for your event, and I have the ability to invite zodbot there. 00:23:26 <jjmcd> Watch out for guys with them funny spirals on their shirt 00:23:54 <stickster> shaunm: Let's work on this in #fedora-docs so the meeting can proceed 00:24:15 <shaunm> sounds good 00:24:58 <sparks> Anything for the summit? 00:25:43 <sparks> Okay, moving on... 00:25:48 <sparks> #topic Release Notes 00:25:59 <sparks> jjmcd: What's going on with the RN? 00:26:04 <sparks> Are you still on schedule? 00:26:22 <jjmcd> YEah, but I blew it yesterday so gonna need to post to mktg-list 00:26:31 <jjmcd> showed up at the wrong place :-( 00:26:50 <sparks> heh 00:27:15 <sparks> Are you getting good input? Should a message be sent out "encouraging" submissions? 00:27:15 <jjmcd> I thought it was kinda techhie for mktg, turned out to be fesco 00:27:44 <jjmcd> I was surprised to see some input, but real wiki input needs to be solicited a little later 00:27:54 <sparks> ok 00:27:56 <laubersm> I think they are either in their channel or in meeting-1 00:28:21 <jjmcd> Yeah, too late when I figured out they were elsewhere 00:28:31 <quaid> is this back around to recruiting beat writers and relevant content not in Feature pages? 00:29:14 <jjmcd> Yes, we are still over a week from the one pager, so pretty early to start soliciting beat writers 00:31:16 <sparks> jjmcd: Need anything from me/us? 00:31:25 <jjmcd> Not yet 00:32:33 <sparks> Okay... anyone have anything else on the RNs? 00:32:35 <quaid> no worries about the content on the one pager? 00:32:46 <quaid> quantity and importance, mainly 00:33:16 <jjmcd> And on F12 marketing mostly took the lead there 00:33:31 <jjmcd> Our role was mainly to keep them on point 00:33:38 <jjmcd> Alpha RN's are a one pager 00:34:17 <jjmcd> Which is why it is so different from beta/GA 00:34:41 * stickster notes that talking points discussion is underway 00:34:53 <stickster> sparks: When is the publication date for one-page relnotes for Alpha? 00:35:30 <sparks> stickster: I'd have to look... I forget 00:35:44 <stickster> Ah 00:35:47 <stickster> #link http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/f-13-docs-tasks.html 00:35:48 <sparks> jjmcd: Did the schedule ever get published as an .ical? 00:35:49 <stickster> March 1 00:35:57 <sparks> TU 00:36:08 <jjmcd> poelcat has it on his people site 00:36:11 <stickster> sparks: They're always published alongside an .ics file 00:36:14 <sparks> So just over two weeks 00:36:16 <stickster> #link http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/ 00:37:11 * sparks adds that to his calendar. 00:37:18 <sparks> I knew I had been lost... 00:38:09 <sparks> So Beats and Feature review doesn't start until 23 Feb 00:38:19 <jjmcd> right 00:38:44 <sparks> Okay, I'm good, now 00:39:44 <stickster> Next? 00:39:47 <sparks> Okay, anything else? 00:40:02 <sparks> Moving right along... 00:40:06 <sparks> #topic New Guides 00:40:18 <sparks> Anyone have a new guide they'd like to present/talk about? 00:40:54 <sparks> No>? 00:41:12 <sparks> #topic Guide Status 00:41:35 <sparks> Okay, so last week the big discussion was on the Transifex update 00:41:57 <sparks> Last I heard there were significant strides to get authentication working. 00:42:14 <sparks> Now I think they are waiting on data migration, maybe. 00:42:37 <sparks> The date of doom was added to the ticket, as well. 00:43:46 <sparks> As soon as it gets up and we get the thumbs up, I'd like for all guide leads to get your latest POTs uploaded so they can start being worked. 00:43:48 <stickster> sparks: Good idea to post a link to the ticket in the notes here 00:43:54 <sparks> yes 00:44:06 <stickster> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1455 00:44:36 <sparks> stickster: Thanks, you beat me to it. 00:45:11 <sparks> Anyone have any needs for their guide? 00:45:58 <sparks> Starting next week I'll start asking for status reports on each guide so we can make sure of what we'll have for F13. 00:46:29 <stickster> sparks: Is there a list somewhere of who's responsible for each guide? 00:46:35 * stickster is woefully out of touch there, sorry 00:46:41 <sparks> Yes... 00:46:52 <sparks> On the agenda page... scroll down to Guides 00:46:52 <laubersm> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_meetings 00:47:03 <laubersm> at the bottom 00:47:15 <sparks> #undo 00:47:15 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Link object at 0x2b599dab73d0> 00:47:23 <sparks> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_meetings#Guides 00:47:27 <stickster> heh 00:47:29 <stickster> Okey doke 00:47:38 <sparks> It's woefully out of date. 00:47:39 <laubersm> see if I help again. 00:47:41 <laubersm> :) 00:47:56 <sparks> laubersm: Just taking your great link and putting a shine on it. 00:48:29 * laubersm was just using what was already in buffer from searching for the list before stickster even asked... 00:48:35 <sparks> ya 00:48:43 <sparks> So that Guide table needs to be updated... 00:48:58 <sparks> #action sparks to request guide leads update the table before next week 00:49:46 <sparks> radsy: Is rudi in the office? 00:50:51 <radsy> sparks, yup 00:51:24 <sparks> radsy: Can you ask him what the status is of the non-guide translations items in that table, please? 00:51:34 <sparks> radsy: Or just bonk him on the head and ask him to join us? 00:52:52 <sparks> Okay, anyone have anything else on this topic? 00:53:18 <radsy> asking, he couldn't talk even when identifying a new nick 00:53:24 <sparks> Hmmm 00:53:29 <radsy> irc client gremlins maybe 00:53:35 <sparks> maybe 00:53:48 <sparks> we should try to work on that in #fedora-docs post meeting 00:55:07 <sparks> Okay, moving on to stickster's topic. 00:55:21 <sparks> #topic Making docs.fp.o accessible for non-JavaScript equipped browsers 00:55:40 <sparks> #info To see the problem, install w3m or links, and use it to visit http://docs.fedoraproject.org -- try to select an existing guide 00:55:51 <radsy> sparks, "Awesome response from L10N for the DocBook stuff; I'm committing upstream but don't know how long it will take to trickle back down; probably not in time for F13" 00:56:02 <sparks> radsy: Thanks 00:56:16 <sparks> stickster: Would you like to introduce this? 00:56:36 <stickster> #info rudi reports Good response from L10n for DocBook stuff... committing upstream but might not make it down in time for F13 00:56:39 <stickster> sparks: Sure. 00:56:50 <radsy> "I need to approach some translators to fix some slight changes we made to the Common Content in Publican 1; but all RH-sponsored lanaguages (plus a few others) are in good shape" 00:56:52 * stickster points to zodbot, make him work for us! :-) 00:56:53 <radsy> sorry 00:57:30 * stickster waits to see if sparks is #info'ing that last bit too 00:57:55 <sparks> Ok 00:58:07 <sparks> #info I need to approach some translators to fix some slight changes we made to the Common Content in Publican 1; 00:58:10 <sparks> but all RH-sponsored lanaguages (plus a few others) are in good shape 00:58:12 <laubersm> sparks, looks like most guide leads need to branch for F13 too... sometime soon so work can start 00:58:16 <sparks> #undo 00:58:16 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x2b599cfa9450> 00:58:31 <sparks> #info I need to approach some translators to fix some slight changes we made to the Common Content in Publican 1; but all RH-sponsored languages (plus a few others) are in good shape 00:58:49 <sparks> laubersm: Yeah... that didn't work like I wanted it too. 00:59:05 <sparks> laubersm: The day after F12 was released there should have been a F13 branch. :( 00:59:39 <stickster> sparks: mm... that depends, branching methods differ. 00:59:52 <laubersm> history looks like there is F11 and F10 and master... so master should go to F12 and master becomes the next (rawhide like) 01:00:03 <laubersm> at least in the few that I work on. 01:00:07 <stickster> Many would say you hold on to a "development" or moving branch until you *know* that you need to work on both a specific "next" version and stuff that won't make it to the next version. 01:00:22 <stickster> laubersm: Right 01:00:22 <sparks> well... branching == working on F13 guide and leaving F12 alone, short of bugs, etc. 01:00:35 <sparks> yeah 01:00:42 <stickster> yup, but then "master" or "devel" or whatever would be F13 until such time as we needed to work on F14 01:00:46 <sparks> yes 01:00:48 <stickster> Which might happen before F13, or it might not 01:01:14 <stickster> It's kind of up to a community to figure that out, document it, and then do it regularly. 01:01:31 * stickster realizes we're way into a new topic here though. 01:01:40 <stickster> Would be good to do this on the list instead of using meeting time :-) 01:01:47 * stickster has a hard stop in 5 min. 01:02:02 <stickster> sparks: Should I give a quick intro to this topic? 01:02:03 <sparks> yes 01:02:23 <stickster> laubersm: Can you bring up the branching topic so we can make a decision and record it 01:02:24 * jjmcd wonders how much effort to put in before we understand what zikula will do to us 01:02:24 <stickster> ? 01:02:38 <laubersm> yes 01:02:45 <sparks> jjmcd: I agree. 01:03:01 <stickster> #action laubersm Bring branching topic to docs list to decide how we want to do this going forward, and record it for posterity. 01:03:07 <stickster> Thanks laubersm! 01:03:13 <stickster> jjmcd: That depends, the only plan we had talked about to a great extent was publishing RPMs and HTML on Zikula. 01:03:13 <stickster> jjmcd: Unless you guys are planning abandoning source code repos, branching matters. 01:03:13 <stickster> (which you might be doing, I'm not assuming anything) 01:03:13 <jjmcd> Oh, I was back to the javascript topic, sorry 01:03:13 <stickster> Ah 01:03:13 <stickster> Well, still worthwhile since there's no Zikula ETA 01:03:13 <jjmcd> RNs is a different branching prob than guides anyway 01:03:13 * stickster gets back on topic 01:03:13 <stickster> sparks: jjmcd: Who created the current HTML indeces? 01:03:13 <jjmcd> rudi 01:03:20 <jjmcd> If I recall, I had a cockamamy scheme but rudi beat me to the punch with a prettier scheme 01:03:23 <stickster> OK, so really we just need to see if rudi can put a graceful fallback in that allows people to use a HTML form submit if no JS is available. 01:03:53 <stickster> I think most people have browsers that handle JS. But unfortunately, most of them aren't a11y (accessibility) challenged 01:04:03 <stickster> s/them/those people/ 01:05:01 <stickster> So I suggest that I just bring this to the list to see if this is a fix that is relatively minor, and if so, if rudi can do it, and if not, we can file a websites ticket to get help from someone who knows what they're doing. 01:05:20 <stickster> +/-1? 01:05:32 <sparks> +1 01:05:57 <jjmcd> I'm pretty sure it will be a useability delta, but I think codewise easy 01:06:22 <stickster> jjmcd: If it's a proper fallback, it shouldn't make any difference to people who have JS browsers. 01:06:35 <stickster> You make your dropdown selection, and things will just happen as they do now. 01:06:53 <stickster> If you happen to be sans JS, you hit the button afterward, and then everything works 01:07:13 <jjmcd> Yeah, I think I can see how that would work 01:07:15 * stickster is specifically referring to adding a "GO" button or some such. 01:07:22 <jjmcd> Yep 01:07:39 <jjmcd> So each dropdown needs a noscript block 01:07:41 <stickster> So I think it's essentially no delta for people other than those for whom the delta is positive :-) 01:08:03 * stickster takes the action item 01:08:05 <stickster> #action stickster Ask rudi through list to provide non-JS fallback (HTML form submit or something else). If he can't do it, file ticket with websites to ask for help. 01:09:01 * sparks is getting close to a hard stop 01:09:48 * stickster is there 01:09:52 <sparks> Okay, anything else on this topic? 01:10:18 <stickster> Nothing here 01:10:53 <sparks> Okay 01:11:00 <sparks> #topic All other business 01:11:15 <sparks> #action sparks to setup a bug busting weekend 01:12:04 <sparks> Anyone have anything? 01:12:43 <stickster> sparks: Are you going to send some email about that this week? 01:13:04 <sparks> I hope to 01:13:11 * sparks needs to get his head on straight 01:14:24 * stickster jets, g'night all 01:14:35 <sparks> Well... thanks everyone for coming tonight. 01:14:45 <sparks> Let's do this again next week! 01:14:50 <sparks> #endmeeting - -- - --Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJLhc4UAAoJEDbiLlqcYamxdy4P/3zzPoyFBvLrNZoYzhV1VbsR XyqpCRoEhRtZlvRbuY7GHe20j0YawLCe2nT06YchDvlqsQQU1M2gitHkDmfTy+XX Yy0v6nGu/jmfQoZls686380iO4bzSTCzcMbl07FSzKXugdfi5kKUPCjQx5rXdn/Y OdBl6WxGmRKdGq8HsEc38y2KO7AIs/DcM7PCVw6r/hGWy/tHv9OSwWDZFHoeH3bg Z6wf7+WwCG1OtuJrP3u2YG5LFmjhkA5ttan+sFkGxxXECKLLJqU7qhjbtRLz/IkV Ock/WuTB9gdqh9O6iUR0K0lvW5j06f3slU3HGdVRKf/NX0rJEhFNLzAzOJrnG64i dwuIPK1cpKWwT1lqknlPsU4v9ksxrYToXFcA3rDYLX2wnTHKb/b5mkwkCrvQsDAU x54Ou2kaFDISaUzfeZil0aGvOsTAF+MJBwjaaHuSe7Ft3ceniY0npArl9D/ke3D7 jKOrCimcxlY5VDTrldRi/iYGBMcmlM4SK4PohcSVn3ebBqYZ5psEwRIgnh/4YlI1 qx0gNaifMKGUYJBL73siibs0Qwo0GkRIUZMUf5KU2eOn2643PKYkRkhRlF6XxRyE /yBPARPMxZPgUZUygeKvDNO4OieHaWWu0RvMFY9fmg1dt9iChhyLywPF7AgJ8G8e hjM6kx2C/eZh8Jntv9w5 =iEXh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Though I wonder if Paul agrees. Maybe we can also try having the color AND the 'X' in the table.

Hi Paul and Shivam, i've updated the developer tabel. I need feedback, if it's OK, enough intuitive, or others (is better color or text (X) in the cross-section ?). If it's good I could end here and we see another time ... The intersections are controlled: OK. Luigi
