<couf> jmbuser: welcome back * jmbuser had my required disconnect - now let's have the meeting <jmbuser> quaid: ping <couf> jmbuser: it seems it's just us :-/ <jmbuser> couf: Shall we have a meeting? <couf> jmbuser: well we don't have quorum, so if you want to discuss something go ahead, otherwise we might have to cancel <jmbuser> Let's wait and see if anyone shows up - 1 more minute <jmbuser> couf: still there? <couf> jmbuser: yep <jmbuser> couf: Is it worthwhile having a 2 -person meeting? <ivazquez> Sometimes. But it's not really worth scheduling unless both people are exceptionally busy. <couf> jmbuser: not really <couf> ivazquez: true <jmbuser> ivazquez: Are you here for the meeting? - welcome <ivazquez> Mostly just to eavesdrop. <jmbuser> couf: ok - we can have a brief meeting then - agreed? <couf> jmbuser: sure <jmbuser> Ok, if you don't mind, I'll start with the agenda: * jmbuser asks for patience with his slow internet connection <jmbuser> See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/Meetings <jmbuser> Agenda item 1 - Proposed by Marketing team in their meeting yesterday. <couf> heh both topics can be linked to yesterday's marketing meeting <jmbuser> couf: true <jmbuser> Here's no.1 : * <jmbuser> Marketing team proposal to republish, on docs.fp.o, FedoraUnity.org docs for creating re-spins. See http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2007-October/msg00058.html for details. <jmbuser> couf: Thoughts, opinions? <couf> well it's definitly a good idea, the only drawback here is that does docs are 100% about revisor, neglecting pungi and livecd-tools <couf> note: this is an opinion with just briefly looking at the docs * couf tries to get kanarip in here <jmbuser> couf: Do we make that clear and try and get someone to fill the gaps on pungi especially? Livecd-tools at least has a fairly good page or two,,, <couf> jmbuser: it's a distinction we really need to make <jmbuser> couf: Without discriminating among the 3, are we promoting all 3 at the same time? <jmbuser> Is there a preferred method or whatever works for whomever? <couf> from a user-perspective revisor is the best way to go, developper/sysadmin would probably like pungi <couf> revisor builds on top of pungi/livecd so it's basicly the same principles <jmbuser> Is wevisor (web-based revisor) usable today - and therefore an option? <couf> well there is a proof of concept running at https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/wevisor/ but no idea what the status is <jmbuser> couf: To be practical, I guess we need a "table of contents" and start with revisor and add the others as time permits - links to what exists today <couf> right <jmbuser> I really would like a volunteer since I promised a DUG for F8 <jmbuser> and don't want to be overcommitted <couf> jmbuser: I'll see what I can do <couf> I'll try to get kanarip and daMaestro on board and it could go fast then <jmbuser> couf: I didn't mean YOU had to be the volunteer :-) <jmbuser> but kanarip and daMaestro are more than welcome to help out <couf> jmbuser: yeah I know, but I just want to get this thing over with :-) <jmbuser> ok, shall we move on to agenda item 2? <couf> yep <jmbuser> 2 - Publishing howto's to docs.fp.o: increase visibility of the site and might have positive influence on our contributor flow-in <couf> give me 2 min, need to feed the dogs <jmbuser> OK <jmbuser> Does this refer to the COSS Summercode 2007 project by vpv - see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/VillePekkaVainio? * jmbuser waits for couf to return * couf returns <couf> ah sort off / might be part of it <jmbuser> vpv: ping * jmbuser sees vpv is away but hopes <couf> I just struck me that not many people know about docs.fp.o and that it could be usefull to get some more stuff on it to draw attention <couf> the idea basicly came from one guy how just joined this weekend having this great site full of howto's which he might transfer to us <jmbuser> That sounds promising * couf looks for the mail <couf> https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2007-October/msg00059.html <couf> site is: http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.php/Main_Page <couf> we will need to filter out stuff that's on it b/c of the legal stuff * jmbuser waits for his sluggish internet <couf> which actually leads to: what howto stuff is on our wiki that could/should be part off this new "thing" <jmbuser> I see the self-introduction <jmbuser> and the fedoraguide is slowly coming <couf> ah, this has some relationship with the kbase-idea of old <jmbuser> ok, got the website <jmbuser> Is the general ideas to bring over the "legal" topics and perhaps leave the other topics as an unofficial guide? <couf> I'm not sure, we should that with Marc (Strikeforce) <couf> probably the only way to go <jmbuser> couf: ok - I remember Strikeforce from the marketing meeting - is he seeking access so he can help bring it over - at least the permissible stuff? <couf> jmbuser: if I got it right, yes that's just it <couf> otoh, I could be really, really wrong too :-) <jmbuser> This would be a great contribution for an new FDP member to make - pretty easy to bring over with guidance with a quick and good payoff * jmbuser assumes Strikeforce would be agreeable to the official Fedora guidelines <couf> right * Libbe (n=espenas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) has joined #fedora-docs * couf notes: I don't have much time left <jmbuser> couf: Any other topics or shall we wrap it up? <vpv> jmbuser: maybe somewhat, but you know my project dealt with man and info pages, not the documentation you write here * vpv notes he has midterm exams coming up, so he can't be very active right now <jmbuser> vpv: Thanks for tuning in - is your project ready for publication (when you have time, that is)? <couf> jmbuser: wrap up, unless you've got anything else? * jmbuser gives vpv a chance to respond <vpv> jmbuser: not really, it needs some work still, I have planned to send a "call for help" mail to the list <vpv> those who are interested could have a look at http://www.mindtrek.org/pdf/presentations/workshops/summer_coders/esitys-vainio.pdf <jmbuser> vpv: fair enough - please send that email when you feel it is the appropriate time <vpv> that's my presentation in the OpenMind conference * couf needs to run <jmbuser> vpv: thanks - If there's nothing else, let's close the meeting - thanks * jmbuser declares end of meeting <couf> jmbuser: cool, thanks man <vpv> thanks :) <jmbuser> likewise -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
