Anyone who doesn't reply is removed. I use this feedback to help improve things... 19:06:31 <StylusEater> nirik: I think it's helpful. I stepped back because of time and mentioned it to you in a reply. 19:06:50 <nirik> I had a suggestion to add a section on irc etiquette, which I did to the apprentice page. It could use more work tho. 19:06:53 <skvidal> nirik: to be fair - I thin k2 is not bad 19:06:59 <skvidal> err think 2 19:07:12 <nirik> StylusEater: yeah, totally understood. ;) 19:07:16 <skvidal> nirik: when you think about adding folks and bringing them in - you don't want more than 5 at any given time, really 19:07:40 <skvidal> (this is the royal 'you' - not YOU specifically) 19:08:07 <nirik> skvidal: yeah. As always, the big hurdle is getting someone from wanting to help to working on something and doing things. ;) it can be daunting. 19:08:13 <skvidal> nod 19:08:24 <skvidal> and doing that for more than 5 of them... 19:08:26 <skvidal> that'd be tricky 19:08:30 <LoKoMurdoK> and when they graduate fi-apprentice? 19:08:57 <skvidal> LoKoMurdoK: we have a ceremony w/ a band 19:09:01 <skvidal> no, wait. 19:09:03 <nirik> LoKoMurdoK: once someone is working on a group they enjoy the don't need to be in apprentice anymore... they can work with whatever group or branch out and work on others. 19:09:03 <skvidal> no we don't 19:09:04 <skvidal> :) 19:09:31 * nirik hands out drums and trombones. ;) 19:09:32 <LoKoMurdoK> skvidal: nah 19:09:39 <skvidal> yah - what nirik says sounds much more reasonable :) 19:09:54 <nirik> anyhow, any other apprentice or new folks questions? or shall we move on? 19:09:56 * pingou disapointed 19:10:09 <nirik> pingou: ? 19:10:17 <skvidal> pingou: you wanted a ceremony? 19:10:25 <pingou> I wanted the ceremony as skvidal described 19:10:26 <LoKoMurdoK> skvidal: you have a band for the ceremony 19:10:30 <LoKoMurdoK> xD 19:10:34 <skvidal> heh 19:10:35 <skvidal> pingou: :) 19:10:39 <LoKoMurdoK> jajaj 19:10:42 <nirik> ah. ;) we will see if we can make one up. ;) 19:10:50 * pingou lags 19:10:52 <smooge> I got a band. It was kazoos playing a dirge 19:11:07 * nirik breaks out the electric bagpipes. 19:11:12 <pingou> nirik: sounds like a plan for coming fudcon ;) 19:11:12 <LoKoMurdoK> LOL 19:11:20 <nirik> #topic Upcoming new machine plans 19:11:34 <Southern_Gentlem> LoKoMurdoK, nopw 19:11:50 <nirik> so, our new machine plans are moving forward. we had an outage yesterday to replace db02 (rhel5) with db01 (rhel6) and bastion01 with bastion03 19:12:09 <nirik> there is some weirdness I was not aware of around the bastion machines. 19:12:22 <nirik> I am going to look at writing it up and seeing if we can make it less... anoying. 19:12:24 <skvidal> _some_? 19:12:31 <skvidal> there's a lot of weirdness 19:12:41 <nirik> issues (in no particular order): 19:13:01 <nirik> * we don't control reverse dns, so they will say bastion01/02 until we ask them to be changed. 19:13:19 <nirik> * There's a spf record for lists.fedoraproject.org that needs to list whatever one is active. 19:13:37 <nirik> * changing vpn over needs the openvpn configs to properly reflect the machines available, which it wasn't. 19:14:18 <nirik> so, anyhow, I am going to write up some of this and ask for ideas to make it more bullet proof. 19:14:47 <nirik> at some point we will replace bastion02 with 04... 19:15:07 <nirik> and smooge has been busy with stg boxes. 19:15:35 <smooge> retrace hardware is on network so I am working on that next 19:15:39 <nirik> Beta freeze is next week, so probibly will take a break during that. 19:15:43 <nirik> smooge: excellent. 19:16:11 <smooge> cool 19:16:20 <smooge> about making it more bullet proof. 19:16:35 <smooge> I considered it black magic that I needed a pint of ricky's blood to make work 19:16:47 <smooge> sadly I think that made ricky a tad hesitant to help 19:16:53 <nirik> also, anything that needs dns changes is horrible and we should figure out a better way. ;) 19:17:03 <nirik> ha. 19:17:10 <smooge> thankfully we now have a spare 19:17:15 <nirik> #topic Upcoming Tasks/Items 19:17:29 <nirik> 2011-09-09 Remove inactive fi-apprentice people. 19:17:35 <nirik> 2011-09-13 - 27: Beta change freeze 19:17:48 <nirik> 2011-09-27: Fedora 16 Beta (unless it slips) 19:18:21 <nirik> Anyone have any other upcoming tasks/plans? 19:19:43 <nirik> #topic In Progress RFRs 19:20:10 <nirik> askbot is coming along. abadger1999 has been great help there. ;) (Sorry If I pawned it off on you too much) 19:20:24 <abadger1999> heh 19:20:32 <nirik> paste is in testing in dev now, if it looks good we can look at moving it to staging hopefully soon. 19:20:43 <abadger1999> nirik: I'll be sure to bother you if I need a change freeze request for the raffle app ;-) 19:20:57 <nirik> fair. :) 19:21:06 <smooge> raffle app? 19:21:29 <abadger1999> smooge: https://app01.dev.fedoraproject.org/raffle/ 19:21:56 <nirik> cool. 19:22:02 <lmacken> very cool. 19:22:02 <abadger1999> smooge: It's for the ambassadors to run a T-Shirt raffle -- may turn out to be a one-off or something we want to continue developing.... not sure yet. 19:22:12 <smooge> ooooh 19:22:21 <smooge> we can raffle off tons of stuff 19:22:24 <skvidal> hahaha 19:22:29 <skvidal> abadger1999: is that your daughter? 19:22:33 <abadger1999> skvidal: it is. 19:22:33 <smooge> do a bug fix get entered in a raffle 19:22:39 <skvidal> abadger1999: she looks THRILLED to be involved in that 19:22:39 <nirik> Prizes: [1] ppc11 19:23:10 <smooge> hehehehe 19:23:19 <abadger1999> skvidal: Oh she is.
