<couf> all righty, roll up your sleeves <couf> meeting topics: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/Meetings <jmbuser> go for it * couf has changed the topic to: Fedora Documentation -- guide status <couf> How are we doing on the DUG and AG? <jmbuser> jmbuser: Interest remains high in producing a quality DUG, as witnessed by the mailing list. * jmbuser excuses himself for mumbling to himself * couf missed this weeks productivity, been working nuts <jmbuser> I am now the beat writers for docs, so read all about it <couf> cool jmbuser <jmbuser> couf: Not much else to report - hoping to do some revisions myself and encourage others to do the same <jmbuser> couf: I am encouraged by new volunteers with fresh energy and ideas <jmbuser> end of my DUG report <couf> as I said, I've been out of the loop, so I've got to catch up with the AG * stickster appreciates jmbuser making objectives clear on ML <jmbuser> stickster: Thanks <couf> other guides we need to touch? <jmbuser> Is Admin Guide ready for publication? * quaid comes by purely out of chance but chooses to hang out <jmbuser> quaidL Howdy! <couf> jmbuser: for my part, not yet, it's still a bit scaterred information, it needs some integration works <couf> foundation is great, and I'm thankfull for all the work that's gone in too it, but it misses some coherence <jmbuser> couf: That suggests freezing the content and doing an editorial pass. <stickster> I think there are people still asking on the list about subject matter areas to include <stickster> Those discussions should probably be explored and concluded before we freeze * EvilBob is glad to see quaid's name on the FUDCon list <couf> stickster: true that <jmbuser> couf: Next agenda item? <couf> I'm wondering if we want to put some deadlines on that work? <couf> as in, get it done before we dive into the release-specific stuff again <jmbuser> couf: +1 <couf> current schedule, says 24 Jan is alpha-release notes deadline <couf> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule <stickster> couf: Now that you're back, you can probably crack some whips on the list <couf> okidoki <couf> so next up: * couf has changed the topic to: Fedora Documentation -- elections <couf> https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2007-December/msg00011.html <couf> I remember us all agreeing that this was doable, although, we might have a slight problem: <couf> ambassadors election has been moved back a week, due to lack of nominees <couf> it might happen that they don't have an election, but if they do, we're having it at the same time <couf> and the voting app can't cope with dual elections <EvilBob> well if ambassadors needs to reschedule they should now have to reschedule around us <quaid> ah, voting app limitations <jmbuser> I recall John adding FDSCo election to the official schedule <quaid> EvilBob: +1 true that\ <couf> jmbuser: correct, http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f9/f-9-all-details.html <couf> well then, we missed our start, nominations should be open right now <EvilBob> It should not be our projects fault that not enough people care about ambassadors leadership, if we ave to wait until they have an election we might never get our turn. <couf> EvilBob: right <stickster> We have three seats up this time? <EvilBob> stickster: correct <quaid> argh, sorry meant to send a note * jmbuser throws his hat in the rng <jmbuser> s /rng/ ring/ <quaid> about the nominations start * jmbuser is running on his typing skills :-) * stickster moves we clear out the current nominations page and make way for new writeups <couf> yeah, mine, jmbuser's and pawel's seat are up for election * stickster hopes you guys will be putting yourselves in for re-election <EvilBob> lets just get this rolling, announce the opening NOW, and stick to our other dates <EvilBob> it is not like the opening for nominations has been a secret <jmbuser> +1 <stickster> True dat, it was posted to the mailing list <stickster> did it make Fedora News? <stickster> oops, s/News/Weekly News/ <jmbuser> I put it in for this week <EvilBob> that I don't know but it can be in tomorrow's <jmbuser> complete with dates <jmbuser> EvilBob: It's in tomorrow's edition * quaid sends note about nominations being open <stickster> I'm blogging it too. <quaid> good <couf> yep, I'll blog it too <couf> okay, the rest of the election process has been done already, so * couf has changed the topic to: Fedora Documentation -- AOB <jmbuser> +1 <EvilBob> FUDCon * couf can't come :-( <EvilBob> I see three of us on the list, are we doing anything Docs related to get some fresh blood? <EvilBob> I see "Developer Guide Reboot -- Paul W. Frields" <jmbuser> likewise :-( <stickster> Yup, this is a pet project of mine, but I want to find out at FUDCon what the developers think <stickster> I should probably blog something in advance too to gather input <EvilBob> I would really like to put together a Packaging guide, maybe FUDCon is the right place to look at that again. <stickster> I want to canonize current documentation on Fedora code development. This could be a difficult project depending on how much is projected to change over the next cycle with packaging + engineering. <couf> great idea stickster <stickster> I want to be careful to avoid trying to pack fast-moving targets into a Development Guide because it will simply create maintenance nightmares. <EvilBob> Working on my SIG (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio) I have found a lot of holes in the existing packaging stuff on the wiki <stickster> But there is a lot that could be written up to get people started on Fedora as a development platform, including software setup and tips. <stickster> EvilBob: Have you brought it up with the Packaging committee? <stickster> spot is pretty darned good about coverage in the packaging docs, the majority of which he's worked on or written <EvilBob> stickster: it is all about "experience" really <EvilBob> stickster: yeah spot has been a big help <EvilBob> I would really like us to do the "multi-location" hackfest for FUDCon if we have stuff to work on. <jmbuser> +1 * stickster is into that idea. <couf> +1 too * couf needs to run for a bit <quaid> word <jmbuser> Any other business? <EvilBob> nope <EvilBob> wrap it up <jmbuser> +1 <stickster> +1 <EvilBob> In 60 <EvilBob> 45 <EvilBob> 30 <EvilBob> 15 <EvilBob> 5 <EvilBob> 4 <EvilBob> 3 <EvilBob> 2 <EvilBob> 1 <EvilBob> </meeting> -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
