Project - Go over task table
[29 Apr 20:08] +The task table is located under the meeting agenda.
[29 Apr 20:08] +It needs to be updated.
[29 Apr 20:08] +
[29 Apr 20:08] * ke4qqq is late sorry
[29 Apr 20:09] +So please take a peek at it and see if you can either
1) update it or 2) join up to help it along.
[29 Apr 20:09] +Sparks, since my F12 questions overlap the Publican
topic, I will make a page outlining the steps and decisions we need to
make (after pot is out of course)
[29 Apr 20:09] +jjmcd: Cool
[29 Apr 20:09] +And that's all I have to say about the task table this week.
[29 Apr 20:10] --- Sparks (n=sparks at fedora/Sparks) changed topic: Docs
Project - Shameless plug for SouthEast LinuxFest +ke4qqq: Take it
away.
[29 Apr 20:10] +so firest the southeast linuxfest is June 13
[29 Apr 20:10] +s/firest/first/
[29 Apr 20:10] +second - is there any interest in having a Docs FAD
on the 12th or 14th?
[29 Apr 20:11] +I wouldn't mind that
[29 Apr 20:11] +I know a lot of the docs contributors are in the southeast
[29 Apr 20:11] +stickster is already confirmed to be there.
[29 Apr 20:11] +
[29 Apr 20:11] * jjmcd has to be here on the 13th
[29 Apr 20:11] +So I'd like to propose that we spend some time
hacking on our infrastructure - perhaps getting some packagers minted
as well.
[29 Apr 20:12] +ke4qqq: I'm PLANNING on being there...
[29 Apr 20:12] +That would be a good move. we need packagers
[29 Apr 20:12] +and I'd like a yes/no on the entire thing maybe
within a week or so.
[29 Apr 20:12] +jjmcd: you could participate remotely
[29 Apr 20:12] +ohhh yeah sparks is going to be there
[29 Apr 20:12] +Prolly Friday.
[29 Apr 20:12] +ke4qqq: Well... I stress the planning part...
[29 Apr 20:12] +
[29 Apr 20:12] * ke4qqq concludes his shameless plug - I'll send an
email to the list.
[29 Apr 20:12] ++1
[29 Apr 20:12] +Boston remote didn't work so hot
[29 Apr 20:13] +jjmcd: Yeah, but that was yankee land... we're down south.
[29 Apr 20:13] +Coulda done better on cw
[29 Apr 20:13] +Boston is a lot busier too
[29 Apr 20:13] +as well as the phones worked
[29 Apr 20:13] +yeah, the confusion was a lot of it
[29 Apr 20:15] +yep

schedule]
[29 Apr 20:16] +I am here sorry for being late
[29 Apr 20:16] +Looks like a few things happened here recently.
[29 Apr 20:17] +Well, 34 in progress, 36 is Friday's task
[29 Apr 20:17] +jjmcd: You going to be able to build the RN RPM by Friday week?
[29 Apr 20:18] +I see no reason why not
[29 Apr 20:18] +We have work today and tomorrow
[29 Apr 20:18] +then we wait a while for the translators
[29 Apr 20:18] +Cool. I see that the translations are going well.
[29 Apr 20:18] +then we repeat last weeks steps
[29 Apr 20:18] +Would be good tho if I had a shadow
[29 Apr 20:19] +Right now I think I'm the only one who knows what is
actually going on there
[29 Apr 20:19] +jjmcd: Pick your victim
[29 Apr 20:20] +Dunno, Zach, how busy are you next week aroung task 37 time
[29 Apr 20:20] +ohhh bad, gotta be friday
[29 Apr 20:20] +I'm in Lansing Saturday, Alma Sunday
[29 Apr 20:21] +zoglesby, are you busy Friday?
[29 Apr 20:21] +no
[29 Apr 20:21] +would you like to learn how f-r-n.rpm goes together?
[29 Apr 20:21] +sure
[29 Apr 20:21] +good deal, lets do that then
[29 Apr 20:22] +that's Friday the 8th
[29 Apr 20:22] +ok, let me know what time is good for you
[29 Apr 20:22] +K, I'm an early riser so prolly noon-ish your time,
maybe a little earlier
[29 Apr 20:23] +thats great about when I get up
[29 Apr 20:23] +;-))
[29 Apr 20:23] +(I am on nights now)
[29 Apr 20:25] +
[29 Apr 20:25] * quaid arrives tardy
[29 Apr 20:25] +So are all the guide pots done?
[29 Apr 20:26] +?
[29 Apr 20:26] +task 32
[29 Apr 20:26] +IG pot is done
[29 Apr 20:26] +SG pot is done
[29 Apr 20:27] +believe UG pot is done
[29 Apr 20:27] +cool
[29 Apr 20:27] +obviously the RN pot is done
[29 Apr 20:27] +what others are out there?
[29 Apr 20:27] -UG pot is done
[29 Apr 20:27] +SELinux
[29 Apr 20:27] +I gather that "0 day" means final RN tweaks en-US
only until docs.fp.org updated in June?
[29 Apr 20:28] +I guess
[29 Apr 20:28] -IG pot still reflects a draft version (Task 24), with
a couple of small changes still to go for PR (will be done in the next
couple of hours...)
[29 Apr 20:29] +rudi: I have a conflict on the guide table for the
UG... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_meetings#Guides
[29 Apr 20:29] +Is the UG completely in XML now?
[29 Apr 20:29] +the selinux confined services guide won't be ready
for a while still, and it looks like it's about to have another
section added, so...
[29 Apr 20:30] -Sparks: UG completely in XML and building fine
[29 Apr 20:30] +rudi: Okay.
[29 Apr 20:30] +radsy: Understood. Anything I can help with?
[29 Apr 20:31] +should be fine, Sparks - it's taking shape, just
doubtful for f11
[29 Apr 20:31] +Sparks: rudi is a machine and moved UG to XML in what
seemed like a week.
[29 Apr 20:31] +radsy: Okay. Is it going to be release specific or
more like the SG?
[29 Apr 20:31] +radsy: chance it could branch off minus the confined
services content and be something available??
[29 Apr 20:31] +good but not yet perfect?
[29 Apr 20:32] *** You connected
[29 Apr 20:32] +not release specific
[29 Apr 20:32] +radsy: Okay. Whenever it's done let's get it up on docs.fp.o.
[29 Apr 20:32] +ke4qqq, the selinux user guide already exists, this
is more aimed at a smaller audience
[29 Apr 20:33] +radsy: Hmmm.... So there are two "SELinux" guides?
[29 Apr 20:33] +radsy: the last selinux UG I saw was for around fc5 -
have I missed an intervening one?
[29 Apr 20:34] +http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/ for
f10, mdious wrote it
[29 Apr 20:34] +wow - how did I miss that.
[29 Apr 20:34] +yep Sparks,
http://sradvan.fedorapeople.org/SELinux_Managing_Confined_Services/en-US/
is what I'm working on
[29 Apr 20:34] * stickster here late too as promised
[29 Apr 20:34] +radsy: Okay, the one mdious was working on is the one
I knew about.
[29 Apr 20:35] +radsy: is that one translated and ready to go or???
[29 Apr 20:35] +not sure what the story is with the user-guide, i
haven't touched it since mdious left
[29 Apr 20:36] +radsy: is it in fedorahosted?
[29 Apr 20:36] +still working on the confined-services guide
[29 Apr 20:36] +https://fedorahosted.org/managing-confined-services/
[29 Apr 20:36] +Okay.
[29 Apr 20:37] +Anything else for the schedule?
[29 Apr 20:37] +?
[29 Apr 20:37] +well i've dragged this off-topic
[29 Apr 20:37] +radsy: Not really.
[29 Apr 20:37] +Any other questions about the release schedule?
[29 Apr 20:37] +have we unknowingly dropped the SELinux guide?
[29 Apr 20:38] +and if we have, what are we doing now? does ECS have
an internal owner for the document or do we need to assume that
ownership or??
[29 Apr 20:38] +ke4qqq: Well... mdious didn't give me much view of the project
[29 Apr 20:38] +ke4qqq: We need to figure out where the source is and
see where the document is.
[29 Apr 20:39] +it's on fedorahosted
[29 Apr 20:39] +https://fedorahosted.org/selinuxguide
[29 Apr 20:39] +okay
[29 Apr 20:39] +and shows commits as recently as feb
[29 Apr 20:40] +Let's look at that after the meeting and see what we can do.
[29 Apr 20:40] +k
[29 Apr 20:40] +Anything else?
[29 Apr 20:40] --- Sparks (n=sparks at fedora/Sparks) changed topic: Docs
Project - Status on Release Notes +jjmcd: Where are you?
[29 Apr 20:41] +Obviously, RN's went into 11Pr.
[29 Apr 20:41] +Went through mails, about to add those to wiki, then
scrape wiki for xml changes
[29 Apr 20:41] +then build the pot for Fri
[29 Apr 20:41] +Not a lot of changes so I don't anticipate much prob
[29 Apr 20:42] +Trying to get philip_ equipped to help as a way to
break into the process
[29 Apr 20:42] +Cool
[29 Apr 20:42] +laubersm also indicated she might help some but I
don't think we have that much to do
[29 Apr 20:43] +Okay... anything else?
[29 Apr 20:43] +i don't understand RN or 11Pr or why 'scrape wiki'
[29 Apr 20:43] +RN = release notes, 11Pr -= Fedora 11 release notes
[29 Apr 20:43] +aaaah
[29 Apr 20:43] +11pr = fedora 11 preview
[29 Apr 20:43] +philip_: you will get the hang of it after a while
[29 Apr 20:44] +just went out this week with 99% of release notes there
[29 Apr 20:44] Did announcements go out to developers and greater
community to tell them about wiki freezing?
[29 Apr 20:44] +Does anyone know why yelp seems so much faster on F11
[29 Apr 20:44] It's just mo' betta
[29 Apr 20:44] +stickster: I don't know
[29 Apr 20:44] +jjmcd: because it goes up to 11
[29 Apr 20:45] +which is one more than 10
[29 Apr 20:45] +:)
[29 Apr 20:45] +It's faster on a VM on 11 than native on 10
[29 Apr 20:45] Sparks: It would be a good idea to make a note that
someone needs to be responsible for those reminders.
[29 Apr 20:45] +stickster: yes
[29 Apr 20:45] +we seem to be really lacking the reminder department overall
[29 Apr 20:45] +very little wiki activity lately to freeze
[29 Apr 20:46] +more concerned about L10n
[29 Apr 20:46] jjmcd: That could be due to the lack of reminders...
[29 Apr 20:46] +good point
[29 Apr 20:46] +zoglesby: Yes... I take responsibility for that as
I've been lacking here lately.
[29 Apr 20:46] How much time is left before freezing the wiki and port to XML?
[29 Apr 20:46] +XML port has to happen tomorrow
[29 Apr 20:47] Sparks: OK, let's stand back for a second.
[29 Apr 20:47] Oops, not just Sparks, sorry
[29 Apr 20:47] We know that's not enough time to give people a
heads-up about freezes.
[29 Apr 20:47] Yet it's about what we did before the freeze for Preview, right?
[29 Apr 20:47] So let's figure out what would help us *not* do that
in the future.
[29 Apr 20:48] +a calendar
[29 Apr 20:48] +with email reminders
[29 Apr 20:48] Is someone reading the release schedule tasks?
[29 Apr 20:48] +Well, more than that
[29 Apr 20:48] the ones that Poelstra creates, I mean
[29 Apr 20:48] +yes - they are our calendar effectively
[29 Apr 20:48] +One of us needs reminders on our calendar to post
warning about events on poelstra's calendar
[29 Apr 20:49] jjmcd: You're about 80% of the way there
[29 Apr 20:49] + and we really need to prolly add freeze
notifications to poelstras schedule
[29 Apr 20:49] What we really need is to have this *task* captured in
that schedule
[29 Apr 20:49] ke4qqq: DISCO!
[29 Apr 20:49] +good point
[29 Apr 20:49] +jjmcd: Google calendar?
[29 Apr 20:49] +Sparks: we can't use Google Calendar
[29 Apr 20:49] +I have a NASA calendar marked up on my wall
[29 Apr 20:49] +ke4qqq: no?
[29 Apr 20:50] So, I would humbly submit to you that the docs lead
should get with poelcat and figure out how to add these
public-notification tasks to that schedule
[29 Apr 20:50] +Sparks: we only use F/LOSS to create Fedora
[29 Apr 20:50] +ke4qqq: So is jjmcd 's NASA calendar open?
[29 Apr 20:50] +it's not software
[29 Apr 20:50] +lol
[29 Apr 20:50] +ke4qqq: It's a process
[29 Apr 20:50] +And it doesn't have the notifications on it
[29 Apr 20:50] +Ahhhh, *BUT*
[29 Apr 20:50] +Sparks: it's just caused flames before - just trying
to warn you - though I use Google Calendar personally
[29 Apr 20:51] +We don't have a solution in place that helps us with this.
[29 Apr 20:51] +We need to get the appropriate events onto the
appropriate person's PDA
[29 Apr 20:51] +what is this calendar for and what does it need to do?
[29 Apr 20:51] +ke4qqq: This isn't to put the word out to the
masses... it is being used to help organize already open data.
[29 Apr 20:51] Sparks: Waiting for the solution is not as big a
problem as making sure the right tasks are on the schedule to begin
with. Let's solve first things, first.
[29 Apr 20:51] +who wants a piece of me? ;-)
[29 Apr 20:51] +I will take up the reminders
[29 Apr 20:51] +I just need to figure out who and when
[29 Apr 20:51] +speak of the devil
[29 Apr 20:51] haha
[29 Apr 20:51] +the who is worse than the when
[29 Apr 20:51] poelcat: We were just discussing that there are tasks
missing on the Docs schedule -- not that they were omitted by anyone,
they've just not been captured correctly to start with
[29 Apr 20:52] poelcat: in particular, a task to notify the community
about wiki freezes well in advance
[29 Apr 20:52] or I should say, a task per freeze
[29 Apr 20:53] +where is this calendar?
[29 Apr 20:53] +send me email with: 1) name of task (should contain
verbs); 2) how many days it takes (or not); 3) what it depends on or
when it should start
[29 Apr 20:53] +philip_, poelstra.fedorapeople.org
[29 Apr 20:53] +i'll add it to the source file and then it will
magically be reported
[29 Apr 20:54]
+http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-docs-tasks.html
[29 Apr 20:54] +
[29 Apr 20:54] * jjmcd has it up an a different screen so couldn't cut and paste
[29 Apr 20:55] +Should someone (possibly docs) be responsible for
warning of all freezes? This isn't unique to Docs
[29 Apr 20:56] jjmcd: It's usually easier for each team to report
freezes since changes happen sometimes on a per-team basis, and
coordination would be tough
[29 Apr 20:56] But...
[29 Apr 20:56] There's no doubt that Zikula will help with this --
aiui there's a pretty rad calendar module
[29 Apr 20:56] +stickster: I thought we weren't going to use the
calendar in Zikula
[29 Apr 20:56] +every other group 'warns' re freezes
[29 Apr 20:56] +sometimes with not much notice
[29 Apr 20:57] Sparks: OK, s/Zikula/$FEDORA_WIDE_CALENDAR/
[29 Apr 20:57] +Isn't there also a shared evolution calendar or some such.
[29 Apr 20:57] +Sparks: there is a group in infra evaluating
calendars right now
[29 Apr 20:57] +Oh, cool
[29 Apr 20:57] doesn't matter what the implementation, as long as
it's being done openly somewhere
[29 Apr 20:57] ke4qqq: Thank you sir! (what he said.)
[29 Apr 20:57] +exactly
[29 Apr 20:57] +and if infra is working on it thats one less task for us
[29 Apr 20:57] +very true
[29 Apr 20:58] +Do we know what the status is on that?
[29 Apr 20:58] +They have narrowed it down significantly
[29 Apr 20:59] +Do you know if they have looked at Zikula?
[29 Apr 20:59] Sparks: An email to the appropriate list would be a
good way to poke people
[29 Apr 20:59] +dropping stuff that won't work or is Java etc.
[29 Apr 20:59] +they did
[29 Apr 20:59] IRC doesn't get seen by anyone not online.
[29 Apr 21:00] I was under the impression that Zikula was a
possibility, but I don't know that anyone has said, " will be the
calendar, and it will be set up by ."
[29 Apr 21:00] +no one has narrowed it down that far
[29 Apr 21:00] Anyway, I think we're spending a lot of Docs time on
calendars instead of docs at this point.
[29 Apr 21:01] +Well... the calendar will be a docs tool.
[29 Apr 21:01] Before we got on this topic, jjmcd was talking about
release notes status
[29 Apr 21:01] +how about for now we say personal calendars along
with whats avaliable will be used and its on us to remeber to do this
[29 Apr 21:02] +
[29 Apr 21:02] * Sparks should have put the freezes on his calendar a while back
[29 Apr 21:02] +
[29 Apr 21:02] * jjmcd had then on his calendar, but has been in his
own little hidey-hole
[29 Apr 21:03] Right zoglesby, people are welcome to use their own
tools personally, and for anything team-related we should use the
available Fedora capabilities
[29 Apr 21:03] +jjmcd: Anything else on the RN?
[29 Apr 21:03] +I think that's about it, other than the F12 topoc
[29 Apr 21:04] +jjmcd: Wanna talk about that now?
[29 Apr 21:04] +May as well
[29 Apr 21:04] --- Sparks (n=sparks at fedora/Sparks) changed topic: Docs
Project - Docs_decisions_for_F12
[29 Apr 21:04] +During F11, a number of questions came up
[29 Apr 21:04] +mostly aroung publican
[29 Apr 21:04] +We made some short term decisions to push through the F11 notes
[29 Apr 21:05] +but between now and F12, we ought to consider the right answers
[29 Apr 21:05] +I've listed some of them at Docs_decisions_for_F12
[29 Apr 21:05] +Over the next few weeks I'd like to see us talk about them
[29 Apr 21:06] +are we moving everything to publican?
[29 Apr 21:06] +FOr F11 we used Publican for the release notes
proper, but hammered it into looking the same as F10
[29 Apr 21:06] +So homework for next week's meeting is to review the
page and come back with input or questions.
[29 Apr 21:06] +ANd bleed on the page
[29 Apr 21:06] +maybe add more
[29 Apr 21:07] +zoglesby, that is one of the questions
[29 Apr 21:07] +
[29 Apr 21:07] * zoglesby needs to read that page...
[29 Apr 21:09] +Not sure we need to say much more right now
[29 Apr 21:09] +Okay...

Project - DocsProject wiki pages changes
[29 Apr 21:10] +Just wanted to touch on this real quick.
[29 Apr 21:10] +I worked on the Docs Project page earlier today.
[29 Apr 21:11] +I tried to clean up the language and will continue to
work on it this week to try to simplify what we are trying to say.
[29 Apr 21:12] +There is still some work to do.
[29 Apr 21:12] +Any questions or comments?
[29 Apr 21:12] +Due to the hour...
