16:00 < ricky> ====== BEGIN FEDORA WEBSITES MEETING ====== 16:01 < ricky> Roll Call: 16:01 < ricky> Ricky Zhou 16:01 < JonRob1> ricky are you logging?! 16:01 < JonRob1> Jonathan Roberts 16:01 < ricky> Yup 16:02 < ricky> ianweller, giarc, quaid, anybody I forgot: ping 16:02 * ianweller 16:03 < ricky> All right, then: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Tasks 16:04 < ricky> So the planet matrix seems to be going well (thanks, ianweller) 16:04 < giarc> giarc 16:04 < ianweller> \o/ 16:04 < ricky> :-) 16:04 < ianweller> i need to tally up browsers when i get a chance 16:04 < ricky> So what can we try to fix this problem now? 16:05 < ricky> Even with a good idea of what's failing, it's hard to test CSS changes without being able to try immediately. 16:05 < ricky> At least Firefox 3 on Fedora isn't particular rare in these parts ;-) 16:06 < giarc> can we get a test instance up that we could try changes on? ( one that has all the same blog posts as the live version) 16:06 < ricky> I've tried a bunch of things to catch that scrolling problem, but no luck :-( I'm semi-convinced that it's a Linux+Gecko bug 16:06 < ricky> giarc: Good idea - it should be as simple as wgetting a copy (and changing links) to a fedorapeople page 16:07 < giarc> i only get the scrolling problem sometimes, very hard to figure out what is causing it 16:08 < ricky> Weird, I can reproduce it 100% of the time 16:09 * quaid is here, thx 16:10 < giarc> my first page load seems to exhibit it, subsequent loads are seemingly more random 16:10 < ricky> For anybody that's interested in testing on a separate instance, cp -R ~ricky/public_html/planet ~/planet on people1 16:11 < ricky> And sed -i 's/ricky.fedorapeople.org/username.fedorapeople.org/g' ~/public_html/planet/index.html 16:11 < ricky> Sorry, I mean cp -R ~ricky/public_html/planet ~/public_html/planet 16:12 < ricky> So the goals for that are to either solve/work around the bug, or maybe even get a simplified test case if it does turn out to be a browser bug. 16:12 -!- stickster is now known as stickster_afk 16:13 < ricky> (Since no CSS is supposed to get that kind of behavior, I'm pretty certain *something* is wrong with the rendering) 16:13 < ianweller> brb 16:13 < giarc> ricky, OK 16:13 < ricky> Anybody have anything else to add about planet? 16:14 < ricky> daMaestro mentioned that the huge sidebar made mobile viewing difficult a while back 16:14 < ricky> (Huge scrolling, plus downloading a lot of usernames before getting and content) 16:15 < ricky> So part of that can be solved with CSS, but the other part is a markup thing) 16:15 < giarc> i think we can swap positions in the markup to solve that, but have not tried it yet 16:16 < giarc> also, should the planet code go into our git ? 16:16 < ricky> Hm, it probably should 16:17 < ricky> Do you think we need to setup an automatic sync from the git repo for that? 16:17 < giarc> i guess that could not hurt, but is probably not nesc at this point 16:18 < ricky> All right, then 16:18 < ricky> Do you think we could push this to CSS people on the list? 16:19 < ricky> A lot of people have expressed interest in helping with CSS, but I haven't been great with giving them tasks to start with 16:19 < ricky> This could be a pretty good chance to get more people involved :-) 16:20 < ianweller> ricky: should we shove a giant "patches welcome" message at the top of the matrix? hehe 16:20 < giarc> sure, if people want to help with it ... 16:20 < ricky> Go for it :-) 16:20 < ricky> It might also be a good idea to ping firefox people/their bugzilla about this. 16:21 < giarc> good thought ricky 16:21 < ricky> It feels like a bug, but who knows? It could be known/expected behavior.. somehow. 16:21 < ricky> All right, so after the meeting, I'll ask on irc.mozilla.org and see if it's something that we should file a bug over 16:21 < giarc> i hope not expected ... 0_o 16:21 < ricky> Yeah ;-) 16:21 < ricky> So anything more on the planet before we move to get-fedora? 16:22 < ianweller> not that i can see. 16:22 -!- stickster_afk is now known as stickster 16:23 < ianweller> other than i read stickster's great point in spevack's blog just now 16:23 < giarc> ianweller, got a link? 16:23 < ricky> ianweller: Ooh, can you paste a link? 16:23 < ianweller> http://spevack.livejournal.com/59491.html 16:23 < giarc> danke 16:23 < ianweller> "On a related note, Paul Frields made a great point earlier today -- we need a mechanism that automatically puts anything sent to fedora-announce-list on Planet Fedora." 16:23 < ricky> Ah, that - yeah 16:24 * ianweller researches existing mailman->rss interfaces 16:24 < ricky> All we need is somebody to subscribe to that list with an email2rss script of some sort 16:24 < ricky> It shoudn't be that hard to do on Fedora infrastructure, if that's the right place 16:24 * ricky might avoid mailman to RSS if it requires modification of Red Hat's mailman 16:25 < stickster> ianweller: We definitely don't want something more spammable as an intermediary 16:25 < stickster> i.e. mailbucket.org <== FAIL. 16:25 < stickster> heh 16:25 < ianweller> stickster: duh :D 16:25 < ianweller> ricky: noted 16:25 < stickster> spevack gave me too much credit, it was more his idea as I recall. 16:26 < ianweller> ricky: yeah maybe an internal email that then goes to generate rss feed. 16:26 < ricky> Ah, that's true 16:26 < ianweller> spevack: hehe 16:26 < ianweller> ricky: although it should probably filter out anything that wasn't sent to fedora-announce-list, just in case someone actually guesses the email by accident 16:26 < ianweller> brb 16:27 < ricky> Yeah - that's something to think about 16:27 < ricky> So get-fedora :-) 16:28 < ricky> Anybody know what the progress on that has been? 16:28 * ricky wonders if this falls under the "release early, release often" saying. 16:29 < ricky> It's only marginally more painful when you add "translate early, re-translate often" to it :-/ 16:30 < JonRob1> is juank_prada around tonight? 16:30 < ricky> .seen juank_prada 16:30 < zodbot> ricky: juank_prada was last seen in #fedora-websites 1 week, 6 days, 23 hours, 10 minutes, and 20 seconds ago: <juank_prada> see you all later :) 16:31 < ricky> Wow, I forgot to ping mizmo-out too - this is the one she can make, right? :-) 16:32 < ricky> (spins.fedoraproject.org) 16:32 < ianweller> this is the early one, right? 16:32 < ricky> Yup 16:32 < ianweller> it doesn't look like she's been in at all today 16:32 < ricky> She mentioned that she had been working on that 16:32 < ricky> Is anybody currently working on CSS for her mockups? 16:32 < ianweller> no, but i will be soonish 16:32 < ianweller> i'm assigned to that task 16:33 < ricky> Ah, cool 16:33 < ricky> Try to tie in with fedora.css as much as possible 16:33 < ianweller> noted/agreed 16:33 < ricky> (We really need to start cleaning up our CSS usage) 16:33 < giarc> i have been out of touch a few meetings in a row now, where are mizmo-out 's mockups ? 16:34 < JonRob1> ianweller: css for spins or for pushing to fp.o in general? 16:34 < ianweller> JonRob1: spins.fp.o 16:35 < JonRob1> do we have html for spins to go with? 16:35 < ianweller> no. which i guess is also assigned to me 16:35 < ianweller> mizmo-out does the mockups, i'll turn that into magic^Wcode 16:35 < ianweller> that's how i understand it. 16:36 < ricky> Heh. 16:36 < ricky> Well, both HTML and CSS will build on fp.o stuff a bit, I gues 16:36 < ricky> **guess 16:36 < ianweller> yes, i hope so ;) 16:36 < ianweller> less work for me. 16:39 < ricky> Darn, I suddenly can't find the mockups 16:40 < giarc> brb 16:40 < giarc> $work call 16:40 < ricky> All right, to Websites Infrastructure, then 16:41 < ricky> quaid: Are you around? 16:42 < ricky> No updates on the build script 16:42 < ricky> We are moving to a different workflow, though 16:42 < ricky> The live branch no longer exists - anything pushed to the git repo goes live immediately. 16:43 < ricky> So the workflow I'm aiming for is: People have their own git repos (preferably public/fedorapeople) for testing their own changes, then they push up when they're ready 16:44 < ricky> So the makefile/README has been changed to reflect this. 16:44 < ricky> No more hideous merges/time-consuming typos :-) 16:45 < ianweller> have you shot that info to fedora-websites-list and fedora-infra-list 16:45 < ricky> Just websites (I've made all the necessary changes on the infra side) 16:45 < ricky> (Subject "fedora-web git workflow change") 16:46 < ricky> Anyway, those are all the updates from the infra side - I still haven't found a good solution for ugly templates yet. 16:47 < JonRob1> ricky, i must run, sorry i haven't been around much tonight but have had other commitments to fight with 16:47 < JonRob1> if you throw me the log i'll minute it up over the week 16:47 < JonRob1> and also, there's no new news on the license front 16:48 < ricky> I'm eagerly following http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/129, which will hopefully solve some problems 16:48 < ricky> JonRob1: No worries - see you later 16:48 -!- JonRob1 [n=jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has left #fedora-websites [] 16:49 < ricky> So onto common look+feel 16:49 < ricky> giarc: Are you back? 16:49 < ricky> quaid and stickster might be interested in this too, since it says that docs.fp.o is first on the list :-) 16:49 < giarc> yep 16:50 < ricky> So how's it going with prettifying docs.fp.o? Are we going to try to do it within the current build system, or are we waiting for something less convoluted to work with? 16:51 < giarc> i have had no time for this yet, but was planning on this week... I am not at all familiar with how docs is built ... 16:52 < ricky> Prepare for "fun" ;-) 16:52 < giarc> what /who should i pester for help getting going with that? 16:52 < giarc> ok :-} 16:52 * ianweller prepares for said fun 16:52 < ricky> I'd guess that quaid and stickster (and fedora-docs-list) are the experts on that 16:53 * stickster here 16:53 < stickster> giarc: We have a CVS repository for docs, at cvs.fp.o:/cvs/docs 16:53 < stickster> It contains DocBook XML source for our documents, which are build to HTML and pushed (more or less, with some steps in between) to the /cvs/fedora repository. 16:54 < giarc> ok 16:54 < stickster> Tagged LIVE and then sync's on the server by a cronjob 16:54 < stickster> *sync'd 16:54 < giarc> so I guess I will be interested in the co and build part for starters ... 16:54 < ricky> Isn't that HTML seddde into a PHP file then converted into an HTML file at some point? 16:55 < ricky> **sedded 16:55 < ricky> (Or was I mixing it up with fedora.redhat.com?_ 16:57 < ricky> giarc: Anyway, let me know if I can help with diving into makefiles and buildscripts and such :-) 16:57 < ricky> quaid: ping (Wiki Content Sponsorship - Plugin) 16:59 < ricky> :-/ 17:00 < giarc> mm, i have followed these: 17:00 < giarc> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/CvsUsage 17:00 < giarc> and it is challenging me for anonymous's password ? 17:00 < ricky> Blank? 17:00 < ricky> If that doesn't work, can you give me the command you're trying? 17:01 < giarc> blank 17:01 < giarc> thanks 17:01 < ricky> Ah, cool 17:01 < giarc> oh boy, this does look fun 17:02 < ricky> Hehe. 17:02 * ricky quickly get the last item in: 17:02 < ricky> Group join interstitial pages in FAS 17:03 < ricky> I think one problem is that FAS kind of breaks the step by step process of most join pages. 17:03 < ricky> So we need to make it more wizard-like, I guess. 17:06 < ricky> I guess we've hit the hour mark for now, so let's close this up
