20:05 < ricky> tw2113: Should we leave docs.fp.o on there to track any remaining CSS tweaking, etc.?
20:05 < ricky> giarc: Hey
20:05 < ianweller> oh hi!
20:05 < ivazquez> spins.fp.o is in both lists.
20:05 < tw2113> i have kind of forgot that i agreed to do that
20:06 < tw2113> i'll take note to do it, but i don't think it needs to be on the tasks list
20:06 < tw2113> since it got pushed live already
20:06 < ianweller> i looked at docs.fp.o and list items aren't indented :(
20:06 < ianweller> so the table of contents is hard to read
20:06 < ricky> All right, I'll take that out too, then
20:07 < ricky> mizmo: Do you have anything on the myfedora entry? /me hasn't heard much about that recently
20:07 -!- DemonJes1er [n=DemonJes(a)74.9.188.187] has quit "leaving"
20:07 < mizmo> ricky, j5 was building it out so there was apublic test instance
20:07 < mizmo> i was travelling last week though so i haven't talked to him in a few days so i dont know the status on that
20:07 < mizmo> last week i did fix a css bug in the lightbox code he has
20:07 < J5> ricky: https://publictest16.fedoraproject.org/community
20:08 < mizmo> yay
20:08 < J5> I'm currently recording a screencast and writing a release announcement for the beta

20:08 -!- tc1415 [i=blewis(a)host86-141-165-235.range86-141.btcentralplus.com] has joined #fedora-meeting
20:08 < SmootherFrOgZ> nice
20:09 < ricky> I guess I'll leave that on the list and we can try to look at it more after the release
20:09 < ricky> ianweller: Any upstream discussion about the MW redircects?
20:09 -!- petreu [n=peter@fedora/petreu] has joined #fedora-meeting
20:09 < ianweller> ricky: no i've been quite busy lately :(
20:10 < ianweller> if it were still summer i probably could've gotten that done but i don't see it getting done very fast at this rate ;)
20:10 * ricky understands - same here!
20:10 < ricky> No worries
20:10 -!- londo [n=georgiou(a)82.133.49.59] has quit Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)
20:10 -!- londo [n=georgiou(a)82.133.49.59] has joined #fedora-meeting
20:10 < ricky> So updates relating to Infrastructure/Websites
20:10 < ianweller> if G or someone could help out on that that would be sweet.
20:11 < ricky> Yeah, he might be pretty busy with having been moving this while :-)
20:11 < ianweller> yeah
20:11 < ianweller> we're all busy :/
20:12 < ricky> So we're looking to freeze the website right after the preview release
20:12 -!- JSchmitt [n=s4504kr@fedora/JSchmitt] has quit "Konversation terminated!"
20:12 < ianweller> what still needs to be done for that?
20:12 < ricky> Can you remind me of what we need to get the counter images created?
20:12 < ianweller> oh
20:13 < ianweller> mizmo: do you have that script handy from last time?
20:13 < mizmo> ianweller, i think i mailed it to the list so it should be in the archives
20:13 < ianweller> k i'll look for it
20:13 < ianweller> i need a string for the english one, and then we can translate as necessary
20:13 < mizmo> ianweller, thanks :)
20:13 < ianweller> and do basically the same thing we did last time, i presume
20:14 < ianweller> ricky: you know morea bout getting it into the repo than i do
20:14 -!- smooge [n=smooge(a)int.smoogespace.com] has quit "-ENOCAFFEINE"
20:14 < ricky> Yeah, I can handle getting it in once we have the images
20:14 < ianweller> i'll peek through the archives to refresh what we did last time in my head
20:16 -!- ezq [n=ezq(a)200-127-101-170.cab.prima.net.ar] has quit Remote closed the connection
20:16 < ricky> All right
20:16 -!- ricky changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Websites - get-fedora
20:16 < ricky> So this is the total of what we have at the moment: http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
20:17 < ricky> We still need side boxes for PPC, KDE
20:17 < ianweller> hmm i'm seeing a problem, let me do some things with a screenshot
20:19 < tw2113> ianweller, could you also get a screenshot of the lack of TOC indents? so i know where to focus?
20:20 < ricky> I'll start creating the KDE and PPC version of get-fedrora later this week
20:20 < ianweller> tw2113: yeah i'll do that in a sec
20:21 -!- EvilBob [n=EvilBob(a)fedora/pdpc.sustaining.BobJensen] has quit Remote closed the connection
20:21 < ianweller> ricky: who's writing content for sideboxes? is that you too?
20:21 < ricky> I haven't thought of what the string should be yet, actually
20:21 -!- fbijlsma [n=fbijlsma(a)92.50.110.191] has quit "Leaving"
20:22 < ricky> Any ideas?
20:22 < ianweller> well, just something explanatory
20:22 < ianweller> like
20:23 -!- J5 [n=quintice(a)c-76-24-17-105.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has quit "Ex-Chat"
20:23 < ianweller> "If you prefer the K Desktop Environment (KDE) over Gnome, you may be interested in the Live KDE distribution of Fedora." or something like that.
20:23 < ianweller> something that tells the user directly what they need to do, without sounding biased towards one version or another
20:23 < ricky> mizmo: Did you have any vision for what the sideboxes would look like or say?
20:24 < mizmo> ricky, i was just thinking really quick one-liners
20:24 < mizmo> eg
20:24 < ianweller> same for ppc, "If you have an older Mac or a computer that runs on a PowerPC (PPC) processor, you will need a specific Fedora version for your architechture, such as blah blah blah."
20:24 < mizmo> 'KDE fans, go here!'
20:24 < ianweller> something simple, to the point
20:24 < mizmo> 'Need PPC? go here!'
20:24 < mizmo> with a KDE logo
20:24 < ianweller> mizmo: but does that /explain/ it?
20:24 < ianweller> doesn't explain ppc. a lot of people don't know what ppc is.
20:24 < mizmo> ianweller, i dont think the people who need either really need explanation as to why they need it
20:24 < ivazquez> Does that matter?
20:24 < mizmo> ianweller, thats why they arent on the front page
20:25 < giarc> the short one-liners seem best to me...KDE/PPC ... you know what you are looking for
20:25 < mizmo> eg audio snobs know where to get vinyl. i might look at the vinyl section of the record store kind of strangely and wonder why it is there, but it doesnt impede me from browsing the CDs
20:25 < ianweller> but what if you need ppc but you don't know the difference?
20:25 < mizmo> you could put an explanatory sentence at the top of each the kde and ppc page in case a newb clicks on the banner to figure out what it is
20:26 -!- petreu| [n=peter(a)p3EE3FB45.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)
20:26 < ianweller> mizmo: ok yeah that'll work.
20:26 < mizmo> ianweller, if you need ppc and dont know the difference you've got other problems we cant solve
20:26 < ianweller> +1 to explanatory sentence on page
20:26 < ricky> I guess it couldn't hurt to get the text for those thought out right now :-)
20:26 < mizmo> i just wouldnt clutter the front page with it is all
20:26 < mizmo> for the PPC page
20:27 < ianweller> http://ianweller.fedorapeople.org/screenshot.png
20:27 < ianweller> ok there's the screenshot i wanted to show
20:27 < ianweller> with my crappy circle drawn around the part i want to point out
20:27 < ianweller> having the fedora image floated left and the documentation box floated right leaves very little room for, um, text
20:27 < ianweller> in the middle
20:27 < ianweller> it just looks cluttered. messy. etc.
20:27 < ricky> Haha, looks like we need to size that entire column up or make it more fluid
20:28 < ianweller> i think you should clear: both; it
20:28 < ianweller> and possibly make the resources box a bit wider
20:28 < mizmo> "Below you may download a special version of Fedora for older Macintosh computers and other computers that have PowerPC (PPC) processors. If you do not have a machine with a PowerPC processor, you should go back to the main _get fedora_ page to download a version of Fedora that will work best for your computer."
20:28 < giarc> what ianweller just said ... move the text to below resources
20:28 < ricky> Gah, sorry - I have to move real quickly - will hopefully be back in a minute :-(
20:29 < ianweller> i have to go soon too
20:29 < mizmo> for KDE
20:30 < mizmo> "The _K Desktop Environment_ (KDE) is an alternative desktop environment for Fedora. It provides a different look and feel to the windows, menus, and general desktop behavior of Fedora. If you prefer the K Desktop Environment, you may download the KDE version of Fedora below."
20:30 * ianweller heads out, be back in about 20 minutes
20:30 -!- ianweller is now known as ianweller_afk
20:30 < ricky> See ya
20:33 * ricky gets back
20:34 < ricky> All right, so if ianweller_afk can get the counter ready sometime this week, I'll try to work out and CSS bugs/get the different version of get-fedora created for ppc and kde
20:34 < ricky> Should the "I know what I want" page be a sidebox as well?
20:35 -!- petreu| [n=peter(a)p3EE3FB45.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #fedora-meeting
20:36 -!- alexxed [n=alex(a)217.172.65.223] has quit "Leaving."
20:37 < mizmo> ricky, yeh probably
20:37 -!- bpepple|lt [n=bpepple|(a)d149-67-234-111.try.wideopenwest.com] has quit "Ex-Chat"
20:37 < ricky> All right, then I'll work on getting something complete-ish by the end of the week and try to run it by you then
20:37 < ricky> /look for images to add to my plain text :-)
20:38 < mizmo> cool
20:38 < mizmo> :)
20:38 < ricky> Anybody have anything else to discuss?
20:38 < mizmo> ricky, how does the code freeze tomorrow affect websites?
20:39 -!- ubertibbs [n=tibbs@fedora/tibbs] has quit "Konversation terminated!"
20:39 < ricky> I think that's rawhide, so it won't affect us at all
20:39 < mizmo> oh okay
20:39 < ricky> The website (the repo that's generating fp.o right now) will be frozen after the prerelease (the last few changes will probably be getting the counter in)
20:39 < ricky> Then we'll work on the fedora-web.test repo, which is what's showing on the publictest15 link
20:40 < ricky> Hopefully, translations will happen on that repo until we merge back to the main one
20:40 < ricky> So we're aiming to have everything string-wise ready by the 4th
20:42 < ricky> All right, looks like we have a plan, then :-)
20:42 < ricky> Thanks for coming, everybody

Meeting Reminder: Today 20:00 UTC
by Ricky Zhou
Again, just to remind everybody, there'll be a meeting at 20:00 UTC
today. There is a chance that I will only be around for the first 30
minutes of the hour.
Some things to cover:
- Sidebar images for get-fedora (I'll work on getting the multiple
pages created later this week)
- Website code license (we've spoke about this before, but I don't
remember coming to any definitive conclusion)
- Preview release (website to be frozen)
- Release counter
See you there,
Ricky

Greetings, Fedora Websites team
by Steven Bularca
Prospective fellow developers,
My name is Steven Bularca, I commonly go under the handle of stiv2k. I
have recently joined the Fedora Websites team to explore new opportunities
within the broader scheme of the Fedora Project. Forgive me for not
having sent this e-mail out earlier, as I joined the team in FAS almost a
month ago (oops).
Now for my technical background, I am a 20 year old Computer Science
student at the University of Central Florida. I have been working with
website development and design on and off for the past eight to nine
years. One of my other projects I have been involved with since its
creation is the Neoturbine IRC network (http://neoturbine.net) -- the
website isn't too dandy right now, but I have learned a great deal through
it nonetheless. My strong points are PHP/MySQL, Java, (X)HTML,
Subversion/Git, and CSS. I have some knowledge, but my skill level is
generally weak in Perl, Python, JavaScript, and bash scripting.
I look forward to becoming an official member of this team and invariably
gaining some useful experience in the long run, to the benefit of myself
and the community as a whole.
Thank you,

fedora hosted trac src
by Alex Tsariounov
Hello,
I see you use Trac for Fedora Hosted and that various version control
systems are supported on your site that are not included in the Trac
src release. Do you publish the modifications/plugins you created for
Trac?
Thanks,
Alex
