Drupalistas: Call for participation on Fedora Insight
by Pascal Calarco
Hi Fedora Ambassadors --
Do you have intermediate to advanced Drupal 6 skills, and some time to
apply these to benefit the Fedora community? Would you be interested in
leveraging these to help spread the word about Fedora?
If so, then we have a great opportunity for you!
Fedora Insight[1] is a content portal for aggregated news, views, and
events about the Fedora Project that a multi-faceted team has been
working on over the last while. The vision is to build a rich, dynamic
one-stop place to get the latest news on Fedora. The first content
we're incorporating is Fedora Weekly News[2], and we're in the midst of
themeing the site as well as creating new Views for FWN issues. Come
join us! We meet Thursdays on irc.freenode.net
If you are interested, please join the Fedora logistics list[3], and
introduce yourself to the team! We've also started a new Fedora Project
Drupal group[4] for more recruitment, so join us there too, once it has
been approved by the moderators there! Thanks so much!

Fedora Project group on groups.drupal.org created
by Pascal Calarco
Folks, I submitted a new group request for a Fedora Project (Linux
distribution) group on groups.drupal.org. After review, it will appear at:
http://groups.drupal.org/fedora-project-linux-distribution
Here's the initial text I put on the front page of the group:
"Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in
free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use,
modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work
together as a community: the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is open
and anyone is welcome to join.
The Fedora Project is out front for you, leading the advancement of
free, open software and content.
We're in the building stages of developing Fedora Insight
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight), a Drupal-based one-stop
site for aggregating news, events and other content about Fedora, and we
are looking for some more Drupal expertise to our team! We are
particularly looking for help with themeing, creating Views and scaling
the site into different syndicated content about the Fedora Project.
Please join the group and email me pcalarco(a)fedoraproject.org
<mailto:pcalarco@fedoraproject.org> if you're interested in helping out!"

Meeting summary
---------------
* Roll call (stickster, 18:01:08)
* Last week's action items (stickster, 18:03:39)
* LINK:
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-10-07/fedora_insight...
(stickster, 18:03:52)
* stickster emailed hiemanshu but didn't get an answer -- this
presumably means his intarwebz are still down. (stickster,
18:04:42)
* stickster got some Drupal books and has started studying
(stickster, 18:04:53)
* stickster got smooge and the new guy Sven Lankes connected with a
list of modules, Sven has even packaged some! (stickster, 18:05:11)
* ACTION: pcalarco Figure out solution to putting all beats for a FWN
issue together on a page (stickster, 18:06:35)
* ACTION: pcalarco to reuse blog post text from Sparks_too to recruit
on Ambassadors list (stickster, 18:06:47)
* ACTION: stickster Complete the function to autofill titles in
fwnbeat content type (stickster, 18:07:09)
* Drupal status (stickster, 18:07:17)
* Once again we're not likely to be in time for final change deadline
but our main holdups seem to be the theme and these two pieces of
technical work (pcalarco - Views change, stickster - FWN beat type
completion) (stickster, 18:08:16)
* Packaging modules just got a shot in the arm thanks to Sven,
hopefully smooge has a little time to steal his spec files and put
up a couple remaining modules for review (stickster, 18:09:39)
* LINK:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2010-October/000788.html
<-- check out the awesomeness (stickster, 18:10:01)
* IDEA: stickster will review smooge's packages if Sparks_too can take
the ones Sven just did (referenced in link above) (stickster,
18:13:24)
* ACTION: Sparks_too Talk to ianweller to find a good review to study,
then review Flexifilter module
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642856) (stickster,
18:20:10)
* ACTION: stickster review Footnotes module
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642858) (stickster,
18:20:24)
* ACTION: stickster assign Advanced Help module review following
completion (stickster, 18:20:50)
* View for FWN (stickster, 18:21:20)
* ACTION: stickster ping pcalarco on list to see if he's made any
headway, otherwise keep studying Views in his new books and try to
pitch in (stickster, 18:22:54)
* Drupal Book Club (stickster, 18:25:21)
* a set of Pro Drupal Development (Apress), Front End Drupal, and
Using Drupal (O'Reilly) run about $95 at Amazon (stickster,
18:25:47)
* All were well reviewed on Amazon too (stickster, 18:26:41)
* Readiness/schedule (stickster, 18:30:36)
* IDEA: We are not likely to make the final change deadline, should we
reset schedule to stage after F14 release? (stickster, 18:30:57)
* ACTION: stickster Do a big-picture blog post of where we are and
what we need people to help us with, esp. getting some more Drupal
intermediate-to-expert folks or at least people who are willing to
learn *and have time to do so* (stickster, 18:53:50)
* ACTION: pcalarco Embed into groups.drupal.org, create a Fedora
group, and possibly join others -- then make noise to attract some
like-minded souls (stickster, 18:57:19)
Meeting ended at 19:00:13 UTC.

f15 codename?
by Máirín Duffy
Hey,
On the design team calendar we have the selection of an f15 codename
listed as coming out Oct 8.
It's Oct 12 and the wiki page still says the suggestion period hasn't
opened yet:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_15
I'm wondering what we can do to move this along? The design team relies
on the codename coming out as early as possible so we can get the
artwork done sooner in the release cycle to have stuff ready for alpha.
Thanks,
~m
