If we have it in bodhi testing on 2010-05-03 evening, we even have a few people around who can test and karma it. 23:22:39 <Oxf13> ok, if you deliver 5-3, it can go into testing 5-4, get some testing and be requested stable on 5-4, which means it'll show up in the stable repo for 5-5 23:22:53 <stickster> Oxf13: OK, that will be the plan. 23:23:03 <Oxf13> feel free to ping me when it's going stable so that I can make sure it goes in for 5-5's compose 23:23:13 <stickster> Oxf13: I'll make a note so that in the next release cycle we leave a *teensy* bit more time there. 23:23:19 <Oxf13> k 23:23:23 <stickster> Thanks Oxf13! 23:23:27 <Oxf13> np 23:23:41 <stickster> jjmcd: We'll move on to the relnotes topic and then do all the details about where/when. 23:23:58 <stickster> Move on?

If I missed anyone, please let me know so I can update the Contributors and Revision History correctly. 23:48:11 <stickster> So lewis41 needs help with the NM chapter 23:48:21 <stickster> That's a pretty big change, I imagine 23:48:31 <stickster> I'll be honest, I don't know if I can take care of this one 23:48:58 <stickster> The printing chapter was discussed earlier too -- I think I did offer to lend a hand there if possible 23:49:05 <stickster> Let me #info this for the minutes 23:49:17 <stickster> #info lewis41 needs help with the NetworkManager chapter of the User Guide 23:49:57 <stickster> #info We also need a chapter on Printing 23:50:22 <rudi> I also promised Noriko that for f13 I'd implement a way to credit translators on these major docs in a more timely fashion by including a link to a wiki page 23:50:25 <stickster> *: Did we say that printing chapter would be just adding a printer at the desktop that's already been configured? 23:50:44 <rudi> So I need to set up such a page and include a link in the contributors section 23:51:09 <rudi> The question is -- are we ready to drop this to L10N as is; and add the other chapters as they become available? 23:51:34 <stickster> rudi: I think we probably should, but changes will come in for the NM chapter 23:51:47 <stickster> And to whatever else laubersm still has cooking 23:52:07 <rudi> OK yeah 23:52:09 <stickster> So the fallout is that L10n may get hit with changes midstream 23:52:22 <stickster> We should probably ask them about this 23:52:58 <rudi> I'll ask laubersm what's expected outside the NM chapter 23:53:02 <stickster> sparks: Can you take the action item of emailing trans@ list and asking whether they would rather get a POT drop of the User Guide now, and maybe have some midstream changes, or get it later and have less time? 23:53:27 <sparks> stickster: Yes 23:53:43 <stickster> #action sparks Email trans@ list by Thu 2010-04-15 and ask whether they would rather get a POT drop of the User Guide now, and maybe have some midstream changes, or get it later and have less time 23:53:46 <stickster> Thanks sparks 23:53:51 <stickster> rudi: Cool 23:54:11 <stickster> #action rudi Ask laubersm about other changes beyond the NM chapter and the to-be-added Printing chapter 23:54:23 <stickster> So 23:54:31 <stickster> The Security Guide and the A11y Guide are on the agenda 23:54:36 <stickster> sparks: Did you need to speak to them? 23:54:54 <sparks> stickster: I was just going to give an update 23:54:56 <stickster> Before we get to that 23:55:01 * stickster holds up gavel 23:55:11 <stickster> #topic Meeting extension 23:55:20 <stickster> Can everyone here do an extra 15 minutes this evening/morning? 23:55:25 <nb> +1 23:55:28 <stickster> +1 23:55:28 <sparks> +1 23:55:30 <jjmcd> +1 23:55:53 <rudi> +1 23:56:00 <stickster> Anyone else? 23:56:04 * stickster waits 20 sec 23:56:23 <Subfusc> +1 23:56:40 <stickster> #agreed Meeting goes until 0015 UTC 23:56:46 <stickster> #topic Security Guide and A11y Guide 23:56:50 <stickster> Take it away sparks! 23:57:18 <sparks> #info The Security Guide has had a few updates since F12 and the POTs have been generated and are being worked. 23:58:00 <sparks> #info The Accessibility Guide has had updates and is being translated as well. 23:58:08 <sparks> And all is right with the world. 23:58:12 <stickster> SUPERB! 23:58:28 <stickster> #agreed sparks rocks for getting these guides rolling and into L10n 23:58:38 <jjmcd> agreed 23:58:46 <stickster> Anything else we need to know sparks? Or move on? 23:58:48 <sparks> L10n has been rocking on getting those docs translated! 23:58:50 <sparks> +1 23:59:07 <stickster> #agreed L10N ROCKS IT THE MOST, DADDY-O. 23:59:25 <stickster> sparks: jjmcd: ^^ You can use that in your blogs ;-) 23:59:35 <stickster> All righty then 23:59:50 <stickster> git conversion 23:59:53 <jjmcd> shaunm was at a doc conference that had a lot of non FOSS members 00:00:05 <jjmcd> said FOSS seems to be miles ahead on xlation 00:00:05 <stickster> Oh 00:00:25 <stickster> jjmcd: Just in terms of efficiency? 00:00:26 <jjmcd> Just an interesting datapoint 00:00:36 <stickster> I think there are a couple dimensions to it 00:00:37 <jjmcd> I got the impression in terms of getting it done 00:00:45 <stickster> I think our natural scalability is MILES ahead. 00:00:51 <jjmcd> Yes 00:00:58 <stickster> At the same time, there are still frontiers ahead of us for the tools we make for L10n'ers 00:01:25 <jjmcd> Sure, but at least we're not fighting M$ Word 00:01:25 <stickster> There's more to do, but regardless of that, the FOSS translation community is one of the finest examples of collaboration on the planet, IMHO. 00:01:33 <jjmcd> Absolutely 00:01:48 <jjmcd> I learned a lot when a net.friend started working on that 00:01:56 <jjmcd> from outside Fedora 00:02:26 <stickster> Excellent 00:02:43 <stickster> All right, out of respect for everyone's time, moving on 00:02:49 <stickster> #topic Git for docs.fp.o 00:02:58 <stickster> So here in a nutshell is what I wanted to discuss 00:03:06 * nb has some too 00:03:19 <stickster> Our website maintainers already use git to manage most of the web sites 00:03:22 <stickster> fp.o 00:03:25 <stickster> spins.fp.o 00:03:38 <stickster> talk.fp.o 00:03:39 <stickster> start.fp.o 00:03:44 <stickster> fh.o 00:03:48 <stickster> ...and so forth 00:04:05 <stickster> I think we should just take a page from their book, and do ours the same way. 00:04:15 <stickster> They already have a complete L10n infrastructure for the sites *themselves* 00:04:27 <stickster> And there's no crazy shuttling in and out of PHP 00:04:31 <stickster> It's all straight HTML 00:04:49 <stickster> However 00:05:01 <stickster> The wrinkle is... how the Publican publishing system would interact with this. 00:05:06 <stickster> So 00:05:11 <stickster> Rather than gum up the works 00:05:20 <stickster> I just wanted to suggest an idea like this... 00:06:10 <stickster> Well wait, 00:06:16 <stickster> Before I do that -- what do *you* guys think? 00:06:22 * stickster shuts up 00:06:35 <jjmcd> getting away from cvs would be a godsend 00:06:38 * nb had been kind of working on a solution which the first step of it was basically moving how we do it in cvs to git 00:06:39 <sparks> +1 00:07:04 * nb needs to get us a publictest server to test on 00:07:20 <stickster> nb: So how do you envision that working? 00:07:30 <stickster> It sounds like everyone wants this around yesterday 00:07:50 <stickster> But we can wait a bit if you've got a plan in motion 00:07:50 <nb> stickster, basically the first step would be basically cvsimporting /cvs/fedora/web/html/docs into git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/web.git 00:08:02 <nb> and then making the build script pull from there 00:08:06 <stickster> Right, I had figured as much 00:08:08 <nb> which shouldnt take too long to get set up 00:08:16 <nb> and then i can make more changes however the docs team wants it 00:08:49 <nb> stickster, jjmcd sparks does that sound like you were wanting? 00:08:50 <nb> thoughts? 00:08:58 <jjmcd> YES! 00:08:58 <stickster> nb: It sounds like it to me. 00:09:10 <stickster> nb: How much time do you estimate this is going to take to complete? 00:09:35 <stickster> On the Websites/Infra side, I doubt it's too much work -- basically changing their scripts to pull from a git repo instead of (shudder) CVS. 00:09:42 * nb agrees 00:09:50 <nb> i think i could have it done within a few days 00:09:51 <stickster> But they will certainly want it well tested first. 00:10:00 <nb> do we want to target before or after f13? 00:10:03 <stickster> nb: Can you be prepared to present your work at the next Docs meeting, do you think? 00:10:04 <nb> infra freezes soon iirc 00:10:26 <nb> 2 weeks before release iirc 00:10:31 <stickster> nb: Infra freeze will start 2010-05-04 00:10:34 <stickster> That's about three weeks from now 00:10:36 <nb> oh ok 00:10:41 <nb> we should be able to definately get before then 00:10:45 <nb> .nextdocsmeeting 00:10:59 <stickster> .nextmeeting docs 00:11:00 <nb> do we meet every week or 2 weeks? 00:11:02 <jjmcd> woo-hoo 00:11:09 <stickster> Hm, zoddie may not know about us. 00:11:11 <stickster> nb: Every week. 00:11:18 <nb> I think i should be able to 00:11:36 <stickster> nb: So can you have a working git repo, with preserved history/email, and a publictest ready by then? 00:12:00 <nb> I should be able to 00:12:03 <stickster> #info nb is working on a solution to this, and is going to kick it into high gear, woo! 00:12:04 <nb> cvsimport is generally pretty easy 00:12:09 <sparks> WOOT! 00:12:10 <nb> and i don't think the build changes will be that hard 00:12:11 <stickster> nb: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Importing_Docs_CVS_modules_to_git 00:12:26 <stickster> That shouldn't be too different whether it's Docs CVS or the old Web CVS. 00:12:37 <stickster> The important thing is maintaining author history 00:12:52 <stickster> Well, that's not the only important thing... but it's important nonetheless :-D 00:13:00 <nb> yeah 00:13:06 <stickster> Okay nb -- I'm going to put you down to present your work next meeting, OK? 00:13:28 <nb> ok 00:13:39 <stickster> #info nb Present a git repo conversion and a docs site in testing at next Docs meeting -- 2010-04-21 UTC 2300 00:13:44 <stickster> #undo 00:13:45 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x2b03b317b590> 00:13:49 <stickster> #action nb Present a git repo conversion and a docs site in testing at next Docs meeting -- 2010-04-21 UTC 2300 00:14:02 <stickster> All right, that's all I have for tonight 00:14:09 <stickster> Anyone else in the ... uh, 60 sec left? 00:14:53 <stickster> OK, that looks like a no 00:15:02 <stickster> Thanks for coming everyone! 00:15:04 <stickster> #endmeeting -- Paul W.
