[fedora-websites] Issue #794: Fedora Podcast Web site

[Eduard Lucena]

x3mboy reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-websites` that you are
following:
``
### Phenomenon
The Fedora Podcast is part of a Marketing team strategy to reach more people. Right now is
being pushed through the Fedora Magazine, but it's also being stored in [x3mboy
fp.o](https://x3mboy.fedorapeople.org/podcast). This site is using the docs'
theme/template, but we like to give it a more proper presentation for a podcast website.

### Reason
Other podcast have relevant and better designed websites that gain attraction from
people.

### Recommendation
I don't have any specific recpmmendation but some examples (ordered from great designs
to poor designs):

Is there any idea for this? Also I don't know if I need to request some storage from
infrastructure, can anyone help me with this?

@x3mboy I think this is better to handle with a dynamic website and a DB. Using static
websites is not ideal here IMHO. I see this kind of website more in the direction of the
Magazine. Any other thoughts?

I suggested x3mboy to see with @bex if podcast could get closer to documentation so it
makes localization easier: https://pagure.io/g11n/issue/56

I don't have sufficient technical skills to argue for or against a "dynamic
website and a DB". I'll be happy to help the translation of this anyway.

@jibecfed I have a localization ticket for transcripts, and I want this site to handle
both:

- The Podcast itself
- The localized transcripts

I'm still not sure if I need to request something from infra. But I'm requesting
help from design#584

For this site I need:

Header: The header should have the subscriptions to the feeds: Simplecast, iTunes, Spotify
and Google Play.
News feed: Being able to publish every new episode with a little description here I will
embed the Soundcloud Player of each episode.
Storage: I need storage to provide people an alternative way to download the episodes (ATM
I'm storaging the files on my fedorapeople.org)

What about this idea?

Move the podcasts site to docs.fedoraproject.org.  This would give you a repo for the
pages and a second repository for the audio files.  There are two repositories so that
clones of the pages don't take forever :)  While git is suboptimal for audio files, it
is a small number of them and it is easier than building a second system.

We could then publish everything to docs.fedoraproject.org and it will go out to the
CDN.

This is minimally invasive for infra and should be easy to setup (@asamalik ???)

The two potential challenges I see are:

1) URL - we could probably get you an alias/redirect via infra

2) RSS - I don't know the easiest way to produce an RSS feed, however there may be a
standalone way to do this.  I am willing to help out some here.

WDYT?

I think that can work.

For the RSS, I'm not sure about what are you thinking, I have a Podcast RSS provider
(SimpleCast), I was talking about a way to include a little part about every new released
episode, but I can do that by editing the .adoc and including the new episode in the top.
For the audio files storage, I'm not sure if git is the best option here, not because
of the number of file but for the size of them.

Also, I need to figure it out how to include embedded js in an .adoc file, to include the
SoundCloud player of each episode.

Managing like the docs' site will be really close of what I'm doing today
(creating an static HTML in my fedorapeople) so this way I'm not altering the way
I'm working today. I requested a mockup to design#584, I think the biggest challenge
here will be how to apply a template to the docs' system.

If you already have RSS that is cool.  Embedding the js shouldn't be hard, but I'd
need to figure it out.

The template could be the biggest challenge.  @asamalik would need to weigh in on this
one.

``
So I thought about it for a day and I feel like the podcast is one of the
"products" or "artifacts" of the Fedora community, in a similar way as
the Linux distribution we produce, or the Fedora Magazine articles etc.

I think the documentation site is meant to describe how to use the things we produce, or
how to help make them. But it shouldn't store them. So I don't think the Docs site
is a fit for the podcast.

So I propose we either build a separate site such as 
"podcast.fedoraproject.org". It feels better even from a marketing perspective.
And if there is (will be?) a working group producing the podcast, or if it's a part of
Marketing — I'm happy to host the group info and docs about how to produce the podcast
on the Docs.

Makes sense?

Sounds like this should be a part of the Fedora-websites repo then. Looks like we need the
design finished and coded. Infra will need to hookup the domain to sync from here. I still
think the actual data should be in a separate repo to not slow down clones of this one.
Infra should be able to enable that.

Ok, I will open a ticket in the Infra Pagure.

To keep al tracket, I will create a tracking ticket in Marketing listing the tickets
opened for the podcast website.

@x3mboy do you have a finalized design and you just need to push the code somewhere? 
There are three tickets about this, and it isn't clear to me where the overall project
is.

No, I have not a design. The design ticket is waiting on assignee, but there was already a
little discussion. If I'm getting it right, the next step is the design, but I'm
not sure how it works in terms of websites. I have a tracker ticket fedora-marketing#283 I
hope to have a clearer view on how to work with the 3 teams are helping us with this
(design, infra and websites) and also, I want to document how to get a new website even if
it's on the wiki.

I can help on this if needed. We worked on simplecast podcasts in the Fedora App and I
believe the website will be reusing the same logic.

We can pull the new episodes from the simplecast API and generate pages on the website.

Hi websites team. The look and feel of the website is almost done in design#584

To move forward, I want to take @pfrields
[comment](https://pagure.io/design/issue/584#comment-546363) and spin up a
fedorainfracloud VM with Wordpress + podcast plugin [1][2]. We already have local storage
provided by the infra team.

Thanks for helping with that.

P.D.: Since I'm using simplecast as provider, I think the best plugins are (from
highest to lower rate):

[2] https://wordpress.org/plugins/simplecast-epsiodes/

so we are looking for another Wordpress instance here? 

I can help with turning the design from the design team into a wordpress theme, but not
sure who we have to talk to about getting another wordpress instance set up. (i think
maybe infra)

Yes, for a wordpress instance you need to talk to infra, they will setup probably an
openshift instance for you similar to the magazine. We can't do much here from a
websites team side.
