Hi all.
Re AG update - I've been out of any action on AGBeta for the last few
weeks, due to work related travel. And lots of work.
Missed the March deadline for XML conversion but will do more over the
coming weekend. There isn't much left but since I'm the only one writing
this stuff, might not be complete for another week or two.
Cheers, Vladimir

#fedora-meeting
Feb 27 22:38:43 <jsmith> (technically, it should be in good shape...
it could use some wordsmithing in a few places, but the docbook should
be pretty solid)
Feb 27 22:39:06 <jsmith> I was hoping to get some of the more
experienced members of the team to make sure I haven't totally screwed
up
Feb 27 22:39:18 * jsmith is still new here, and doesn't want to assume
he's doing it right
Feb 27 22:39:28 <jmbuser> jsmith: I can review it for typos, style,
etc. if you like
Feb 27 22:40:00 <jsmith> jmbuser: OK, that would be great.
Feb 27 22:40:12 <jsmith> I'll try to get quaid or stickster to review
the DocBook
Feb 27 22:40:20 <jsmith> That's all I had ;-)
Feb 27 22:40:45 <jmbuser> jsmith: Are you familiar with the CVS procedures?
Feb 27 22:40:48 * wolfy (n=lonewolf@fedora/wolfy) has left

Feb 27 22:42:55 <jsmith> jmbuser: I've already done the conversion to
DocBook and checked the changes into CVS
Feb 27 22:43:05 <jsmith> jmbuser: (in the yum-management-guide module)
Feb 27 22:43:15 <jmbuser> jsmith: good++
Feb 27 22:43:34 <jsmith> What I'm not super-familiar with is the tool chain
Feb 27 22:43:50 <jsmith> (and nuances of various DocBook tags and how
you guys use them)
Feb 27 22:44:04 <jsmith> But yes, I'm very familiar with CVS and
DocBook in general
Feb 27 22:44:39 <EvilBob> Leadership?
Feb 27 22:44:43 * cdehaan has quit (Client Quit)
Feb 27 22:44:55 <jmbuser> jmbuser: I'm not an expert, but I'm a little
familiar with the tags - po files are another story
Feb 27 22:45:08 <jmbuser> EvilBob: Since you mentioned it...
Feb 27 22:45:09 <EvilBob> Do we have enough here for quorum?
Feb 27 22:45:30 <jmbuser> Let's see - roll call time again

Feb 27 22:46:03 <EvilBob> Bob Jensen
Feb 27 22:46:33 <EvilBob> did we lose glezos and couf
Feb 27 22:46:49 <jmbuser> glezos: ping
Feb 27 22:46:51 <glezos> EvilBob: I'm here
Feb 27 22:46:57 <jmbuser> couf: ping
Feb 27 22:47:00 <glezos> +1 for converting
Feb 27 22:47:20 <couf> pong, wifi dropped a bit
Feb 27 22:48:05 <jmbuser> It looks like a quorum...
Feb 27 22:48:11 <EvilBob> I would like to motion for a vote confirming
jmbuser as our new Vice Chair/Future leader
Feb 27 22:48:21 * smooge (n=smooge(a)canopus.unm.edu) has joined #fedora-meeting
Feb 27 22:48:57 <jsmith> I second the motion

Feb 27 22:49:41 <EvilBob> All those in favor of John Babich leading
the prject in the future please respond with a +1
Feb 27 22:49:44 * JSchmitt (n=s4504kr@fedora/JSchmitt) has joined
#fedora-meeting
Feb 27 22:49:45 <EvilBob> +1
Feb 27 22:49:49 <couf> +1
Feb 27 22:49:52 <jmbuser> (abstains)
Feb 27 22:49:55 <glezos> um
Feb 27 22:50:01 <glezos> what does "in the future" mean? :)
Feb 27 22:50:18 <EvilBob> glezos: 6 onths as vice chair, learning the ropes
Feb 27 22:50:37 <EvilBob> glezos: then a 1 year term as chair
Feb 27 22:50:52 <EvilBob> glezos: the last 6 months training the next chair
Feb 27 22:51:09 <glezos> EvilBob: maybe we might want to have quaid
and stickster around for such a vote?
Feb 27 22:51:18 <jmbuser> I think it should clear that assumes
continued involvement and re-election
Feb 27 22:51:21 <EvilBob> glezos: they are in agreement
Feb 27 22:51:33 <glezos> FWIW, I think it's great to have jmbuser for VC :)
Feb 27 22:52:03 <jmbuser> If I really screw up, you can kick me out :-)
Feb 27 22:52:04 <glezos> +1 then
Feb 27 22:52:28 <EvilBob> jsmith: do you care to vote?
Feb 27 22:52:45 <jsmith> Obviously, since I seconded the motion
Feb 27 22:52:47 <jsmith> +1
Feb 27 22:52:54 * JSchmitt has quit (Client Quit)
Feb 27 22:53:08 <EvilBob> we have the required 4 + votes to confirm
Feb 27 22:53:20 <EvilBob> jmbuser: Congrats
Feb 27 22:53:47 <glezos> jmbuser: I'm sure you'll do well, the work
you've done so far is fantastic
Feb 27 22:53:54 * jsmith pats jmbuser on the back
Feb 27 22:54:07 <couf> congrats jmbuser
Feb 27 22:54:31 <jmbuser> Thanks - I really appreciate the confidence
you guys have in me - I hope to continue to live up to it
Feb 27 22:54:54 <jmbuser> It's always a team effort
Feb 27 22:55:02 <EvilBob> I have to bug out at this point, Mom is
getting annoyed
Feb 27 22:55:10 <jsmith> Thanks EvilBob
Feb 27 22:55:26 <jmbuser> EvilBob: see you later, thanks
Feb 27 22:57:29 <jmbuser> Referring back to the agenda, any more
thoughts on Publican?
Feb 27 22:57:55 <jsmith> I'm still happy to show people how to get
started, but I'm still just scratching the surface
Feb 27 22:58:05 <jsmith> I've done three or four different docs in it now
Feb 27 22:58:16 <jsmith> and even figured out how to get PDFs out of it (mostly)
Feb 27 22:58:24 <glezos> jmbuser: good job
Feb 27 22:59:22 <jmbuser> glezos: thanks
Feb 27 22:59:35 <jmbuser> jsmith: I saw you were quoted in the Red Hat
Magazine article...
Feb 27 23:00:32 <jsmith> jmbuser: Yeah... stickster has been dropping
my name again, like I'm some sort of rock star
Feb 27 23:00:37 * jsmith isn't all that and a bag of chips
Feb 27 23:01:00 * dwmw2_gone is now known as dwmw2_BOS

well with Transiifex?
Feb 27 23:03:00 <jmbuser> s / Transiifex / Transifex /
