Mageia has reached a relatively steady state, and it's plain that we don't have enough contributors to warrant so many teams 19:06:28 <Akien> i18n/l10n is pretty calm too, because most active contributors have already translated most of the content 19:06:54 <filip__> papoteur: let me rephrase. number of active contributors in both team combined is not huge and it overlaps a bit 19:06:57 <Akien> The next big step will be the wiki (don't hit me, I didn't mean to bring up this topic :-P ) 19:07:09 <papoteur> Akien: A large part of the wiki could be translated if infra was OK. 19:07:15 <Akien> papoteur: Yep 19:07:56 <papoteur> filip__: yes, it's not too big, at least. 19:08:18 <Akien> How many are we actually? Maybe 20 active contributors in i18n/l10n + 5-10 in docteam? 19:08:24 <filip__> I guess tmb and others sysadmins need some more time. There are some serious HW issues with servers. 19:08:50 <filip__> Akien: I guess the number depends on a definition of "active" 19:08:52 <Akien> Yes, I don't think we should count on it before the Mageia 5 release. 19:09:00 <Akien> filip__: Yes of course. 19:09:19 <papoteur> filip__: ;) 19:09:22 <Akien> If the definition is "comes to meetings", then we are not legion :-D 19:09:36 <yurchor> For me, it does not matter what the team list is, as long as it does not hinder to obtain the result. 19:09:52 <filip__> yurchor: good point. thx 19:10:03 <Akien> Yes that's a valid point. 19:10:29 <Akien> That sums up most of Mageia btw. We're doing a great distro with a really small team compared to other distros. 19:10:39 <Akien> s/doing/making/ 19:10:50 <filip__> and we're very open at the same time 19:11:05 <filip__> not all small community distros are 19:11:34 <Akien> Yes, I think those who really want to contribute find a great community. 19:11:39 <yurchor> I can help with some diffrent simple tasks here and there regardless to the team name, if needed. 19:11:40 <filip__> +1 19:12:05 <filip__> +1 to yurchor too 19:12:14 <Akien> Ok, so I think we reach a consensus for merging the teams :-) 19:12:23 <filip__> I think soo 19:12:27 <yurchor> +1 19:12:29 <papoteur> +1 19:12:56 <papoteur> lebarhon: ? 19:13:01 <lebarhon> +1 I asked for it a long time ago 19:13:19 <filip__> should we change ML at all. I don't see a need for that but my view is limited ;). 19:13:50 <papoteur> #info We agree to merge doc and i18n teams 19:14:14 <filip__> thx papoteur. you beat me ;) 19:14:34 <Akien> filip__: I think there are pros and cons. 19:14:40 <papoteur> filip__: ;) 19:14:51 <Akien> It would be nice for newcomers if there was only one entry point: join the ML. 19:14:52 <filip__> Akien: can we expose them now? 19:15:19 <lebarhon> We could wait a while before merging the ML 19:15:24 <filip__> +1 19:15:25 <papoteur> I receive the two lists, for my usage, it's better with one list. 19:16:19 <lebarhon> One list may push i18n members to doc writing 19:16:42 <papoteur> lebarhon: good idea ! 19:16:44 <filip__> it might 19:17:11 <filip__> those who're bored can pick more work ;) 19:17:22 <Akien> Maybe we can merge the MLs when the wiki can be translated? :-P 19:17:49 <filip__> and hopefully soon ;) 19:17:52 <Akien> Or decide on a proper translation workflow with the current infrastructure, and do the transfer when infra is there 19:18:34 <papoteur> Qilaq: psyca: blingme: napcok do you use the 2 mailing lists ? 19:18:39 <filip__> most of us are on both lists now anyway. aren't we? 19:19:11 <lebarhon> Is the transfer a hard/long job ? 19:19:30 <psyca> iam only in doc and i18 19:19:52 <Akien> lebarhon: I guess that would be copy-paste of existing pages in the new infra 19:19:56 <filip__> I think not. sysadmins will open a new one ane make old read only I guess 19:20:03 <papoteur> psyca: thx 19:20:03 <psyca> both 19:20:13 <Akien> But yes, if the old one is read only, it's doable I think 19:20:16 <lebarhon> Akien: what about the links between languages ? 19:20:32 <filip__> lebarhon: what link? 19:20:52 <lebarhon> filip__: links between languages in the wiki 19:21:26 <filip__> ah. we should disscuss that later when wiki will be that way 19:21:55 <filip__> what name should we choose ;)? 19:22:02 <Akien> Hehe 19:22:10 <filip__> doc/l10n? 19:22:35 <papoteur> multidoc ? 19:22:36 <Akien> I think the i18n can be left out, it's too technical to be relevant for normal contributors :-) 19:22:39 <papoteur> ;) 19:22:39 <lebarhon> doc is obviouly translated 19:22:49 <lebarhon> *obviously 19:23:10 <Akien> "Documentation and Localization team" could be good. 19:23:31 <lebarhon> DL in short 19:23:34 <filip__> that is the long name and I like it 19:24:03 <papoteur> localisation? 19:24:43 <papoteur> Akien: yes, it's explicite 19:25:13 <filip__> do we agree? 19:25:52 <lebarhon> yes 19:26:07 <Akien> On the principle yes, then for the actual change I would like to ask our contributors first for their opinion 19:26:15 <Akien> We're only a handful here :-) 19:26:20 <filip__> true 19:26:41 <filip__> we can bring todays concensus on our ML 19:27:04 <Akien> Agreed 19:27:06 <filip__> and give it a week or two 19:27:49 <lebarhon> Is it worth a blog post ? 19:28:15 <filip__> I think it is. when we decide. 19:28:33 <Akien> Once it's agreed upon and validated by the council (I don't see what they would have against, but just to do things right), we should do a blog post yes 19:28:35 <filip__> it's big news ;) 19:28:40 <Akien> It's a good opportunity to talk about us :-) 19:28:48 <papoteur> lebarhon: I think it is better after to have decided for the name. 19:29:15 <Qilaq> very late hi + I've nothing against merge of MLs or even teams as such 19:29:18 <lebarhon> Why not a blog post to ask opinions ? 19:29:29 <filip__> hi Qilaq 19:29:31 <papoteur> Qilaq: :) 19:29:59 <Qilaq> khm, it'd be nice to merge Estonian i18n translation team with Estonian doc translation team - me with me! ;-) 19:30:28 <papoteur> Qilaq: lol 19:31:10 <filip__> #action we ask on i18n and doc ML for objections on team merge and a name "Documentation and Localization team" 19:31:11 <Akien> lebarhon: I think most people with an opinion are the ones in our current MLs (+ Transifex) 19:31:14 <papoteur> lebarhon: not sure to have answers. 19:31:15 <filip__> ok? 19:31:30 <Akien> filip__: Sounds good 19:31:30 <papoteur> filip__: yes 19:31:42 <filip__> let's move on ;) 19:32:19 <Akien> We have 15 minutes left ;-) 19:32:27 <Qilaq> both MLs have so few real messages (i.e apart from commit messages) that merge shouldn't be overkill anyway 19:33:20 <lebarhon> who is in docteam and not in i18n ? 19:33:33 <lebarhon> very few I think 19:33:33 <filip__> #topic about L10N and DOC status 19:34:22 <papoteur> L10n first? 19:35:06 <Akien> The main question for l10n is: are git and Tx in sync, or do we need to do plan a mass push of Tx translations in the coming weeks? 19:35:49 <Akien> Or should it be done on a per team basis, asking each team about the status of their translation 19:36:01 <filip__> that's tough question as some of us push to git directly and some use tx 19:36:31 <psyca> i think too that some push directly to git and some to tx 19:37:12 <filip__> sadly many people on tx doesn't respond on pings :( 19:37:28 <lebarhon> Are all Tx 19:37:53 <lebarhon> workers present in the wiki list ? 19:38:06 <Akien> lebarhon: Nope, the wiki list is really outdated IMO 19:38:20 <Akien> Let's give it another try maybe. We can ping everyone and ask whether translations need to be pushed. 19:38:21 <filip__> unfortunately I agree 19:38:38 <Akien> I guess if we don't get an answer for a given locale, we can consider that nothing has to be done. 19:38:40 <Qilaq> I've of opinion that Tx should always be secondary source for translations - at least until we have some magic what would take translations directly from Tx 19:38:42 <lebarhon> Marja asked to stop subscribers on Tx before they are on the wiki list 19:38:47 <psyca> some people say in the ml. to push tx to git... but some dont 19:39:14 <Akien> We're a community-based distro, so it's normal that the properly translated locales are the ones for which we have active contributors participating in the community. 19:39:22 <filip__> psyca: yeah 19:39:45 <Akien> Qilaq: Well translations can be retrieved from Tx (or pushed to Tx) with one command with transifex-client 19:40:05 <filip__> Akien: yeah 19:40:12 <Akien> That's why I'd like to have a commit hook on git that automatically pushes new .po files to Tx 19:40:23 <Qilaq> yes, but software packages are still based on git, i.e. they take also tranbslations from git not from Tx 19:40:24 <Akien> If they come from Tx, nothing happens, and if they are new, Tx gets updated 19:40:27 <psyca> isnt there an command to check if there are translations already on tx and git and if not write them over? 19:40:52 <Akien> Maybe a simple script could do that yes 19:41:15 <Akien> Qilaq: Basically git is the production base, and Tx is the workplace. 19:41:22 <filip__> tx have some hooks for that but it's beyond me 19:42:08 <filip__> maybe yurchor knows but he left w/o goodbye :( 19:42:17 <psyca> the problem would be if there are 2 different translations in git and tx too. 19:42:53 <filip__> if you don't use --force client handle that 19:43:10 <filip__> but it's too manual 19:43:16 <filip__> ;) 19:43:53 <filip__> should we ask that on i18n ML and move on today? 19:44:01 <Akien> filip__: +1 19:44:40 <Akien> I have to go, I'll let your finish :-) 19:44:54 <psyca> yurchor is subscibed in tx. 19:44:55 <filip__> #help how to handle synch of translations in git and tx 19:45:06 <Akien> (We're at ~1h btw, time to end the meeting ;-) 19:45:15 <filip__> Akien: good night then 19:45:34 <filip__> we should give doc team a chance before we stop 19:45:48 <filip__> please doc team 19:46:03 <papoteur> If not, I ask to divorce ;) 19:46:38 <Akien> :-D 19:46:57 <papoteur> info: I added this page on wiki https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Kernel_flavours 19:46:58 <Akien> Maybe the meeting time can be 1h15 now that we merged ;-) 19:47:09 <papoteur> Akien: Sure 19:47:27 <papoteur> This can be proofread. 19:47:49 <papoteur> lebarhon asked for some topics: 19:48:00 <papoteur> Installateur compatibility with UEFI ? 19:48:02 <papoteur> - Btrfs ? 19:48:03 <papoteur> - Grub2 19:48:05 <papoteur> - IPv6 19:48:06 <papoteur> - draktools improvements ? 19:48:31 <papoteur> In relation to the coming Mageia 5 19:48:36 <lebarhon> the question was if doc was needed about these news features 19:49:01 <lebarhon> *new 19:49:26 <papoteur> For UEFI, I did see any improvements yet. 19:49:55 <papoteur> We have 2 pages in wiki, but there is draft 19:49:57 <lebarhon> doc to create or to modify 19:50:19 <papoteur> https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_how-to 19:50:32 <papoteur> https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_booting 19:51:03 <papoteur> I think one is to delete, and one is to improve. 19:51:11 <lebarhon> these pages don't say if UEFI will be taken in charge by the installer 19:51:29 <papoteur> the second is to delete. 19:52:05 <filip__> papoteur: I think you can mark it for deletion 19:52:13 <papoteur> I follow the dev ML, and I see nothing about that. 19:52:57 <papoteur> filip__: the information is perhaps to transfer. I did shecked. 19:53:16 <filip__> #info: papoteur added this page on wiki https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Kernel_flavours 19:53:46 <filip__> you can mark it later then 19:54:01 <filip__> papoteur: info ok? 19:54:13 <papoteur> filip__: OK 19:54:22 <filip__> you forgot to prefix it with # 19:54:36 <papoteur> ;) 19:54:57 <papoteur> On btrfs, I haven't info 19:55:20 <papoteur> lebarhon: What do you want to know about grub 2 19:55:49 <lebarhon> what will be the default loader for Mageia 5 19:56:01 <papoteur> #todo Improvement in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_how-to 19:56:43 <filip__> I didn't notice much on grub2 on dev ML lately 19:56:53 <lebarhon> we will have a Mageia 5 release with the Mageia 4 doc 19:57:23 <filip__> lebarhon: does it need to change? 19:57:26 <papoteur> lebarhon: At this state, there is no change; It's grub legacy 19:57:44 <lebarhon> Grub2 and UEFI compatibility were promised for Mageia 5 19:58:28 <filip__> I don't think that grub2 will be the default soon 19:58:37 <papoteur> lebarhon: Yes, I know. But TMB was out during 2 monthes 20:00:29 <lebarhon> So nothing new between Mageia 4 and 5 20:00:52 <papoteur> Thus, I don't see stuff to modify the documentation yet. 20:01:40 <filip__> so we can improve existing one ;) 20:02:00 <papoteur> there a new version of rpm which induces lot of problem with build system and need the energy of our devs. 20:02:07 <filip__> you're doing great in wiki 20:02:23 <filip__> whole doc team ;) 20:02:51 <papoteur> essentially 20:03:31 <lebarhon> The problem is that the wiki isn't known by many users 20:03:46 <lebarhon> it needs a lot of publicity 20:04:15 <filip__> napcok linked it in his welcome work 20:04:35 <lebarhon> good idea 20:04:47 <filip__> can we do more for wiki on www.mageia.org? 20:05:30 <psyca> Maybe on the Downloadpage or Mainpage directly a link on the right side for Documentation and Wiki (not only the top link) 20:05:31 <papoteur> We have a entry in the nav bar 20:05:50 <psyca> With booklogo for documentation and an wiki logo for wiki 20:06:03 <filip__> psyca: can you post that on atelier ML? 20:06:07 <lebarhon> I think the wiki is lacking a sexy landing page, like it was with Mandriva 20:06:16 <filip__> +1 20:06:31 <filip__> pretty plain right now :( 20:06:58 <filip__> but that is out of scope for todays meeting 20:07:39 <papoteur> For today we can point out also https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Wiki_TODO_page 20:07:55 <filip__> #link https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Wiki_TODO_page 20:08:48 <papoteur> I would like to create a page on systemd on default services. 20:09:00 <papoteur> s/on/and 20:09:04 <filip__> papoteur: good idea 20:09:29 <papoteur> Yes, but it is only idea yet ;) 20:09:29 <filip__> there are a lot of forum questions about it 20:10:16 <filip__> #idea to create a page on systemd on default services. 20:10:37 <papoteur> #topic documentation publication 20:11:09 <papoteur> Carolyn did screenshot for Swedish MCC 20:11:29 <papoteur> I don't know if there yet published? 20:12:01 <filip__> I think that marja notified us on ML 20:13:27 <papoteur> filip__: Yes 20:13:32 <papoteur> marja said: 20:13:34 <papoteur> Done, and in all html pages in http://docteam.mageia.nl/sv/MCC/content/ 20:13:35 <papoteur> the paths to still missing Swedish screenshots were changed into the 20:13:37 <papoteur> paths of the matching and available English screenshots, again 20:14:15 <papoteur> lebarhon: have you other questions 20:14:42 <lebarhon> Could we come back with meetings on a periodically basis 20:14:54 <filip__> I would like too 20:15:07 <filip__> I prefer regular and short meetings ;) 20:15:30 <papoteur> Yes, it will be good. 20:15:34 <filip__> let's talk about that next time 20:15:40 <lebarhon> half an hour every other week ? 20:15:48 <filip__> sound excellent 20:16:02 <lebarhon> next time? in December :) 20:16:38 <papoteur> ;) 20:16:41 <filip__> #idea have a meeting for half an hour every other week 20:16:56 <filip__> anything else? 20:17:27 <papoteur> We can fix yet the next meeting date 20:18:00 <filip__> that was the purpose of the idea ;) 20:18:13 <lebarhon> on thursday the 9th october ? 20:18:29 <filip__> sound ok 20:19:05 <filip__> #action next meeting on thursday the 9th october 20:19:13 <papoteur> OK, what time? 20:19:28 <filip__> 19:30 utc? 20:19:50 <lebarhon> ok if it is for 1/2 h 20:20:11 <filip__> we can ask that on ML together with merge topics 20:20:21 <filip__> for exact time 20:20:33 <papoteur> OK 20:20:39 <filip__> should we close? 20:21:24 <filip__> 3 20:21:29 <lebarhon> 2 20:21:41 <filip__> 1 20:21:50 <filip__> #endmeeting
