[fedora-d&i] [suggestion] Migrate event guidelines to Google Doc?
by Justin W. Flory 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Hi all, I am proposing to migrate the event guidelines into a Google Doc to provide a single place to point people (with authenticated protection and commenting) and also provide an easier interface for commenting and suggesting changes. Currently, the guidelines live in this Etherpad: https://etherpad.persephone.cloud/p/FedoraEventGuidelines I was reviewing Dyuti's CommBlog draft for the event guidelines post today and realized it would be helpful to point people to one place to read the guidelines. When I was reviewing the original Etherpad, it was difficult to follow between actual content and comments. I think this is a problem others who review the event guidelines will also face, and decrease the chances of receiving meaningful feedback. Even though Google Docs isn't open source, the benefits it provides for us to collect meaningful feedback, assist our outreach effort, and more effectively meet our goals seems worth it. I can migrate the content before the end of Friday if helpful. I think it will expedite the speed we can get the Community Blog article published too. Please let me know your thoughts on migrating the event guidelines into a publicly-visible Google Doc. Otherwise, I will do this before the end of day Friday to help keep momentum with the CommBlog article. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hi all, we had a full meeting today! We briefly covered the Outreachy blog post – I am planning to get to this over the weekend. We spent most of our time following up on FWD planning items and making sure we are on track for launch. See the Trello board for more info. We also spent some time covering our Flock session prep and the event guidelines as well. Details should be well-noted in the meeting minutes summary.

[fedora-d&i] FWD Trello board to help us plan tasks
by Justin W. Flory 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi all, As discussed earlier this week, I set up a Trello board for us to use specifically for Fedora Women's Day, to track tasks and ongoing work. https://trello.com/b/uRiZy4xF/fedora-womens-day-2018 The board is set up as a basic kanban set-up with four columns: * Backlog: Tasks which cannot be worked on yet (but need to remember) * To do: Tasks that can be started on * In progress: Tasks that are started (should be assigned to someone) * Done: Tasks that are complete I invited most members of the team actively involved with planning – you should have an email invitation, or if you sign into Trello, you should have access. The board is public and anyone with an account can also comment on cards, even without being a member. Some examples are set up there to help us get started. I may have missed some things. Feel free to add new cards or details to existing ones (for example, the resource package card has a check-list of some suggested tasks inside). Originally, I tried to use Taiga but found it difficult to work with because it was heavily customized for software projects. The user documentation for this use case was not helpful to me either. So I decided to use Trello in favor of using a tool that would require less fighting to get started and using it. This should help keep us more organized and easier to track smaller pieces of FWD planning outside of the main ticket in our Pagure. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions on the board! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

I'd be curious to know what software or tools in Fedora are helpful for visually-impaired people. Thanks for sharing! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
