meeting summaries - help?

[Adam Williamson]

Does anyone know the procedure for generating the meeting summary wiki
pages?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20090831

there's lots of stuff there which looks like it's not done entirely by
hand, but I'm not familiar with the tools / procedures used. This is
usually done by jlaska, but he's on vacation. Does anyone know the
process to generate the summary, so I can do one for the meeting from
today? Thanks!

I think James does write the summaries by hand.  Using the meeting
functions of our bot extensively may help mitigate all that work.  The
log at the bottom comes from irclog2html.py, but the meetbot can do
that too.

I doubt he generates the list of attendees and number of lines spoken by
each by hand. :)

Heh, right -- I was looking at specifically (in the link you sent)
Sections 2.2 through 3 on the wiki page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20090831

Most of the other stuff looks like it came from the bot, and the log
processed by irclog2html.py.

I'm still trying to figure out a good sustainable method for generating
the notes.  Suggestions welcome! :)

I use meetbot to help organize the structure of the minutes, but I
review them after each meeting and try to improve the notes for future
reference.  Not ideal, obviously, but I've not found that the meetbot
summaries by themselves are good for referencing after the fact.

I use irclog2html to convert my irc log into wiki a wiki table.  The
verdict wasn't in yet on how long the irc logs from meetbot would be
available, so for now I'm still attaching them to the wiki directly as a
wiki table.

Thanks,
James

The meetbot.fedoraproject.org site should be around forevermore at this
point I think. It should be getting backed up, etc. 

Also, hopefully the next meetbot plugin will have the ability to write
out a mediawiki compatible file for easy adding to a wiki if you like.
