Meeting summary
---------------
* Intro (jflory7, 07:28:35)
* First three talks before the meeting started not logged (jflory7,
07:28:39)
* Loopabull - Adam Miller (jflory7, 07:28:41)
* LINK: https://github.com/maxamillion/loopabull (jflory7, 07:28:43)
* dgplug summer training - Kushal Das (jflory7, 07:28:45)
* dgplug = Durgapur Linux User Group (jflory7, 07:29:13)
* LINK: https://dgplug.org/ (jflory7, 07:29:15)
* Since 2008, summer training for moving students from users to
becoming leaders (jflory7, 07:29:35)
* Around 10 people who become full-time contributors (jflory7,
07:29:53)
* Free and online training (jflory7, 07:30:13)
* Guest lectures: Contributors like pfrields/stickster talked about
docs, lawyers about licensing, other Fedora contributors about
developing in Fedora (jflory7, 07:32:20)
* HELP: We'd love to have some assistance, check out #dgplug on
freenode (jflory7, 07:32:31)
* Trends in Docs - Milan Navratil (jflory7, 07:32:46)
* Milan is a tech writer @ Red Hat for many years (jflory7, 07:32:59)
* Legos: Buying them you get many bricks. They provide
guidance/instructions. "Follow these steps, this is what you will
achieve." You can alter it on completion and make it different. Lego
guide makers would be great technical writers. Instructions from
somewhere like IKEA, a little more difficult (jflory7, 07:34:07)
* Traditional documentation focused on features and availability
(jflory7, 07:34:29)
* New documentation focuses on what the user is trying to do, what
problem is the user trying to solve (jflory7, 07:34:56)
* Show what can be done by focusing on specific user cases (jflory7,
07:35:25)
* === Minimalism === (jflory7, 07:35:32)
* Limiting amount of text you need to read to solve problem (jflory7,
07:35:39)
* Getting started in the kernel - Laura Abbott (jflory7, 07:37:00)
* kernelnewbies is a great site for getting started and is what the
kernel Outreachy group uses for getting started (jflory7, 07:37:52)
* LINK: https://kernelnewbies.org (jflory7, 07:38:04)
* Think about what your purpose is when wanting to contribute - what
do you want to focus on in the project? (jflory7, 07:38:17)
* Understanding error messages from the kernel is powerful and helps
you deduce problems and figure out a problem (jflory7, 07:39:07)
* If you can patch it, try it; if you report it, read the fix for it
later on and understand how it was fixed / changed (jflory7,
07:39:24)
* Learn how PCI interfaces work - on laptops, lots of quirks for
variety of hardware and PCI is ever-present in PCI (jflory7,
07:39:54)
* Come contribute to the kernel! (jflory7, 07:40:14)
* LINK: http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ (jflory7, 07:40:51)
* Translation pain - Jean-Baptiste Holcroft (jflory7, 07:41:23)
* "Battling" with Marketing for title of non-technical contributor -
like to bring more exposure to translating (jflory7, 07:42:09)
* Goal of localization team is update the user experience for a local
language (jflory7, 07:43:06)
* Two-sided platforms and Fedora - Pravin Satpute (jflory7, 07:47:16)
* Thinking of credit card companies: one side is merchants, another
side is users (jflory7, 07:48:18)
* Thinking of online merchants, e.g. Amazon: one side is companies
selling product, another side is users / customers (jflory7,
07:48:39)
* Many companies that have become successful by using the two-sided
approach to targeting different audiences (jflory7, 07:48:52)
* Gaming: As a user, cannot buy games without a console; developers
need to write games for platforms (jflory7, 07:50:02)
* In two-sided platform, becomes difficult for others to join /
compete (jflory7, 07:51:02)
* Think of Fedora as a platform: one side are developers, another side
are users (jflory7, 07:51:17)
* Different Fedora editions now: Workstation, Server, Cloud (jflory7,
07:51:27)
* More developers and communications results in benefits to the other
side (jflory7, 07:51:45)
* HELP: Consider thinking of this two-sided approach when addressing
marketing and other parts of Fedora (jflory7, 07:52:43)
* Haskell SIG Update - Jens Petersen (jflory7, 07:52:55)
* Haskell is attractive for its mathematical applications and uses;
more formal, but helpful for variety of projects / uses (jflory7,
07:53:43)
* Fedora released 7.8 of Haskell recently (?) (jflory7, 07:54:12)
* Very tight dependency-tracking, avoid updating too many libraries at
once (jflory7, 07:54:54)
* Conclusion (jflory7, 07:56:49)
* LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock/Lightning_Talks_2016

Actually we found quite fine way, but if you have any recommendation for
tomorrow (8km is fine), I'd be happy to hear it.

Please announce people when their talks get accepted
by Baadur Jobava
It looks like a talk of mine was included in the Flock schedule without
anyone announcing me when it got accepted.
The talk was titled: Globalization in Free Software Communities.
I would appreciate if you send me a mail, call, IRC ping etc. next time.
As it happens, I could not have made it at this date due to busy schedule.
Hope to see you at the next event though.
Cheers,
Jobava

TONIGHT: Group photo, hotel lobby, 18:30
by Justin W. Flory
Hey all,
This was broadcasted in the Telegram announcement group, but wanted to
pass it along here as well. Tonight, as per tradition, we will take the
big group photo for Flock! We will be taking it right before leaving for
the boat cruise.
Please try to be in Best Western hotel lobby by 18:20 for the photo. I
believe we will be departing for the cruise shortly thereafter.
Thanks!

https://flock2016.sched.org/event/76n8/thoughts-on-fedora-and-arts
(jflory7, 14:40:11)
* What is a designer? (jflory7, 14:40:20)
* Can be: graphic designer, publicist, web designer, illustrator,
artist, photographer (jflory7, 14:40:44)
* Needs and workflow (jflory7, 14:42:48)
* As a designer, sometimes working on a deadline or working towards a
specific objective (jflory7, 14:43:40)
* Portfolios are important part of establishing self as an artist -
use different tools to create their resources, e.g. portfolio
(jflory7, 14:44:19)
* === On resources === (jflory7, 14:44:59)
* Do we need so much hardware? How much is too little? (jflory7,
14:45:09)
* Being mindful of health is important as well with regards to vision
care (jflory7, 14:46:19)
* Reasons for using open source software for design workflow (jflory7,
14:47:44)
* === Technical reasons === (jflory7, 14:47:49)
* Better resource management (jflory7, 14:47:53)
* Latest features and software (jflory7, 14:48:21)
* Many tools and environments to choose from (jflory7, 14:49:02)
* === Non-technical reasons === (jflory7, 14:49:22)
* Free / open source software (jflory7, 14:49:28)
* Great community (jflory7, 14:49:36)
* Thorough documentation (jflory7, 14:49:40)
* Communities of support for the software to help you work through
issues (e.g. IRC, mailing lists, etc.) (jflory7, 14:49:55)
* Other branches of art (jflory7, 14:50:10)
* Examples: Writers, film makers, musicians (jflory7, 14:50:18)
* With platforms like Fedora, expands the options for music production
with free software without having to prohibit creative freedom due
to costs or other challenges (jflory7, 14:51:35)
* Conclusions (jflory7, 14:52:24)
* Fedora is awesome! (jflory7, 14:52:29)
* Open source design programs are high quality and can be used to
create a powerful workflow as a designer (jflory7, 14:52:49)
* It's not the future, and it's happening right now, such as in
projects like Fedora (jflory7, 14:53:00)
* Audience: Comments on popular tooling, mention of FocusWriter, good
utility for writing that helps you focus in your own workflow and
enhance your writing (jflory7, 14:55:21)
* Q: "What would you like to see improved in Fedora as a designer?"
(jflory7, 14:57:11)
* A: Thinking about other kinds of challenges or difficulties limited
to hardware, particularly for those using older hardware, battery
life, and other optimizations; program variety helps so having the
tools available to be alternatives to popular proprietary tools is
helpful. For me, Fedora is mostly perfect as it is. (jflory7,

#fedora-flock-openqa: Fedora Magazine and what it teaches us about users
- Speaker: Paul Frields (pfrields / stickster)
=======================================================================================================================
Meeting started by jflory7 at 13:31:20 UTC. The full logs are available
at
https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-flock-openqa/2016-08-02/flock201...
.
Meeting summary
---------------
* Introductions (jflory7, 13:31:27)
* Talking a little bit about what the Magazine is for, what it's not
for, and what it tells us about our audience (jflory7, 13:32:17)
* Magazine objectives (jflory7, 13:32:32)
* We present general information about Fedora to the general public
(jflory7, 13:32:52)
* Aiming audience to the general public, not just people who are
working on Fedora (jflory7, 13:33:10)
* Does the Magazine only care about the desktop and desktop apps? NO!
We love to have articles about the Server and Cloud editions. Some
of the "regulars" tend to be oriented towards Workstation, but we're
more than willing and welcome any contributions about other types of
content (jflory7, 13:34:25)
* How it worked then... (jflory7, 13:34:38)
* Daily or weekly articles of interest (jflory7, 13:34:44)
* About trying new apps (jflory7, 13:34:47)
* Release announcements / news (jflory7, 13:34:53)
* Test Days and other new-contributor announcements (jflory7,
13:35:03)
* Trying to get Fedora seen by more people - "this isn't your father's
fedora" (jflory7, 13:35:53)
* Fedora isn't a *bleeding* edge distro (think more along cutting
edge) - helping convey that message via Magazine is one application
(jflory7, 13:37:06)
* === Biggest response === (jflory7, 13:38:20)
* Always comes from new releases (jflory7, 13:38:26)
* Official announcement source as of lately (jflory7, 13:38:34)
* Moving average rising (jflory7, 13:38:41)
* === Next biggest response === (jflory7, 13:41:18)
* Howtos are very popular (jflory7, 13:41:21)
* Upgrades, security fixes, broad appeal tools (jflory7, 13:41:30)
* Powerline, fonts, virt, Vagrant... (jflory7, 13:41:38)
* Things that don't work well (jflory7, 14:10:42)
* === 1. Interface tours === (jflory7, 14:10:44)
* Rate of change, attention span, etc. (jflory7, 14:10:46)
* === 2. Community internal topics === (jflory7, 14:10:58)
* However, the CommBlog is awesome! (jflory7, 14:11:01)
* LINK: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org (jflory7, 14:11:02)
* Also carries to the Fedora Planet (jflory7, 14:11:04)
* === 3. Silent publishing === (jflory7, 14:11:30)
* Social media – please help! (jflory7, 14:11:32)
* Our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Diaspora,
Telegram announcement channel, Reddit, and more (jflory7, 14:11:34)
* LINK:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/social-media@lists.fedoraproj...
(jflory7, 14:11:39)
* Q: Any thoughts on translating content? (jflory7, 14:11:41)
* A: Long and complicated answer: not easy to do, not always efficient
(duplicating content), not always free (freedom or beer)... we've
considered but an easy solution doesn't seem possible. Needs more
thought and consideration. (jflory7, 14:11:43)
* Q: "Do we want to reach non-English native readers?" (jflory7,
14:11:47)
* A: Is a news website the best place to send foreign readership?
Consider other publishing sites too. Biggest hurdle is the tech
hurdle. Also quality of translated content too. Consistency is also
important. (jflory7, 14:11:49)
* HELP: If you have ideas or thoughts on translating content for the
Magazine, please share them with us in the Marketing team!
(jflory7, 14:11:52)
* Content changes (jflory7, 14:12:03)
* Focus on enabling users – NOT just desktop specific (jflory7,
14:12:08)
* Some announcements about broad public events (jflory7, 14:12:10)
* Still carries release news! (jflory7, 14:12:18)
* Interviews (How do you Fedora?) (jflory7, 14:12:26)
* Not asking for audience action – rather, help them do what *they*
want (jflory7, 14:12:33)
* Pragmatic approach (jflory7, 14:12:35)
* Non-FOSS software, licit software: OK (example: Chrome) (jflory7,
14:12:39)
* Illicit software (FOSS or not): Not OK (jflory7, 14:12:41)
* Q: "Do we have a responsibility to promote alternatives to non-free
software?" (jflory7, 14:12:43)
* A: No, not really – usually if we're writing about software, we're
not trying to argue in an article whether they can use it. We're
focusing on enabling the author to write about using Fedora the way
that they want to. If they like to include alternatives, they can.
(jflory7, 14:12:45)
* By the nmbers (*per Jetpack) (jflory7, 14:12:49)
* 2014: 271 articles, 666K views (jflory7, 14:12:51)
* 2015: 186 articles, 1.9M views (jflory7, 14:12:55)
* 2016: 96 articles, 1.25M views (so far) (jflory7, 14:12:57)
* Writing process (jflory7, 14:12:59)
* All articles start as PITCH, an explanation of what the article
wants to cover (jflory7, 14:13:01)
* Moves to draft stage while author works on the article (jflory7,
14:13:03)
* === Pending review === (jflory7, 14:13:05)
* Author(s) submit draft (jflory7, 14:13:07)
* Create featured image for attractiveness (jflory7, 14:13:11)
* Target: publish 3x substantial articles each week (jflory7,
14:13:13)
* Basic writing execution (jflory7, 14:13:17)
* Solution (TBD): Guide laying out a generic article (beginning,
middle, end) (jflory7, 14:13:19)
* Explain user benefit, explain process, test and practice it
(jflory7, 14:13:21)
* How does it appeal to the user? (jflory7, 14:13:25)
* === Issue #2 === (jflory7, 14:13:45)
* Relevant content (jflory7, 14:13:49)
* Solution: "Starter pitches" – clear content outline (jflory7,
14:14:01)
* How to get involved! (jflory7, 14:15:40)
* Writer / editor: Be fluent (or just decent) at English (jflory7,
14:15:54)
* Tech editor: Test the process, engage with writer to fix (jflory7,
14:16:04)
* Artist: Design a featured image (and a well-documented process too!)
(jflory7, 14:16:14)

Lightning Talks on Thursday - Sign up Today!
by Joe Brockmeier
Hi all!
Interested in giving a lightning talk on Thursday? We have a sign-up
sheet on the Fedora wiki here:
http://bit.ly/flock16lightning
Please give your title, name, a longer description, and its relevance
to Fedora.
(Relevance = relationship with a working group or group like
Marketing, rel-eng, or some other connection with something happening
in Fedora.)
We have 11 slots. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Rules - you have 5 minutes, with a hard stop at 5 minutes whether you
are finished speaking or not.
No slides or demos. Just get up and use your five minutes wisely to
hold forth on your topic.
All topics, of course, must be appropriate for the Flock audience and
family friendly.
Brian Exelbierd is moderating the lightning talks, he'll introduce
speakers, maintain the wiki page, and eject speakers if they go over
their five minutes.
Questions?
Best,
jzb

in the field impacts our project (jflory7, 09:04:27)
* What are we talking about? (jflory7, 09:04:34)
* Newcomer on-boarding is important, but retainment is critical
(jflory7, 09:04:48)
* Using data analytics for improving contributor retention (jflory7,
09:05:02)
* === Contributor Onboarding and Retention (graph) === (jflory7,
09:05:53)
* fedmsg started in 2013, so no data available past that (jflory7,
09:06:08)
* Short-term contributor: Did a little bit, were active for around for
three months, then left (jflory7, 09:07:45)
* Long-term contributors: Stayed active after initial period
(jflory7, 09:07:52)
* Note about 2016: Inactive members were huge number because of spam
attacks in recent months, which affects skew (jflory7, 09:08:15)
* Inactive contributors: Have not done anything in Fedora beyond
registration (jflory7, 09:08:26)
* (Actually, there is a lot more specific criteria about how activity,
short-term / long-term is measured, but these are detailed in the
slides) (jflory7, 09:08:54)
* Contributor On-boarding and Retention (jflory7, 09:09:56)
* Around 50% of contributors are classified as "short-term", who
contribute for three months and depart (jflory7, 09:11:16)
* More than 5,000 new FAS accounts created annually (excluding spam
accounts) (jflory7, 09:12:47)
* Contributor Survey (jflory7, 09:12:58)
* 16 participants, looking at what made them stay as contributors
(jflory7, 09:13:34)
* None started as Red Hat employees, some are now (jflory7, 09:13:40)
* Diverse areas of contributions to range of areas in Fedora
(jflory7, 09:13:55)
* All intended to remain as long-term contributors to the project when
they became active (jflory7, 09:14:26)
* === Community matters === (jflory7, 09:14:42)
* Not just about loving your work, but a strong FOSS community makes
people stay (jflory7, 09:14:58)
* Some cited four foundations, a sense of giving back to the
community, and constant learning also made them stay (jflory7,
09:15:12)
* === Community Ratings === (jflory7, 09:16:24)
* === Inspire. Interact. Feedback. === (jflory7, 09:18:56)
* Encourage newcomers to speak up in IRC, meetings, and mailing lists
(involve newcomers and give them a voice) (jflory7, 09:19:26)
* Assign action items (creates sense of responsibility early on)
(jflory7, 09:19:36)
* Feedback process (IRC karma and Fedora Badges put to good use!)
(jflory7, 09:19:48)
* LINK: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/409 (jflory7,
09:21:27)
* Interns matter! Whether Outreachy, GSoC, Red Hat, focus on ways on
making them stay past their internship (jflory7, 09:22:24)
* Onboarding is Important (jflory7, 09:23:44)
* Need for mentors, much debated issue, not as feasible (jflory7,
09:23:54)
* CommOps has been helping create a defined on-boarding process for
different Fedora teams (jflory7, 09:24:15)
* === On-boarding Master Ticket === (jflory7, 09:25:16)
* LINK: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/34 (jflory7,
09:26:34)
* General on-boarding badges for all sub-projects: (jflory7,
09:26:54)
* Licensed to Push (Pagure), hot topic (mailing lists), etc.
(jflory7, 09:27:07)
* Studying other long-term Fedora contributors (jflory7, 09:27:23)
* Patterns in activity of long-time contributors: consistency >
activity (jflory7, 09:27:49)
* Consistency should be measured / valued perhaps more than short,
intense bursts of activity early on in a contributor's "lifecycle"
(jflory7, 09:29:22)
* Impact of attending Fedora events (jflory7, 09:29:30)
* Meeting community in person at events (jflory7, 09:29:37)
* Performed some data analytics understanding impact of attending
events like FOSDEM and contributionactivity (jflory7, 09:29:57)
* Not only great for newcmers but also lead to increase in activity in
attendees (jflory7, 09:30:09)
* LINK:

(jflory7, 09:30:32)
* Long-term activity from FOSDEM 2014 badge scanners: noticeable trend
from pre- and post-FOSDEM contributions (jflory7, 09:31:52)
* Q: "What did you use to measure activity specific from FOSDEM 2014?"
(jflory7, 09:32:36)
* A: Using the Fedora badge for FOSDEM 2014 enabled us to look at
these contributors (jflory7, 09:33:02)
* Trend also continued at FOSDEM 2015 (jflory7, 09:34:07)
* Conclusion / Open Discussion (jflory7, 09:34:18)
* What to take away: community matters for retaining contributors,
defining and refining on-boarding series, encourage interactions and
create a feedback mechanism (jflory7, 09:35:33)
* Individually: attending Fedora events, engaging in mailing lists,
IRC, meetings, etc., and look for consistency over just activity
(jflory7, 09:36:08)
* Shout-out to skamath for helping generate these statistics!
