Easyfix + WhatCanIDoForFedora
by Brian Exelbierd 04 Oct '18

I started writing this a while ago and never got it fully formed. Rather than let it keep rotting in my drafts folder I wanted to share it and see if it made sense to anyone else. Warning - rough edges ahead! --- Conversations with several people have resulted in distilling the following idea: = EasyFix == Changing metadata Modify the table that drives fedoraproject.org/easyfix that is located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix The table would now include two additional columns (optional) Col 1 = existing reference to the issue tracker. We should consider adding gitlab.com support Col 2 = existing point of contact Col 3 = category of task (documentation, infrastructure, programming-Haskell, programming-Ruby, etc.) Col 4 = SIG/WG/etc. this project is related too (Design, Council, KDE, etc.) == Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and Bugzillas I believe those categories are not the right categories for consumers of the page. Using the new category (col 3) above, we would break things out by the kind of contribution. This would serve to let people browse related tasks more easily and to reduce the overwhelming nature of the current lists. For BZs we are either going to have to guess based on BZ metadata or leave them lumped together. = WCIDFF WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups appropriate for the various endpoints. This way the person who navigates WCDIFF has the option of reading a specific task they could work on right now, if they so desire. = Marketing/Promotion The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. This could come in the form of articles, tweets, or live conference appearances. What do people think? regards, bex

Fedora Join meeting logs for 21 March 2018: improving accessibility to #fedora-join, and encouraging more contributors to lurk in the channel to help out
by Ankur Sinha 21 Mar '18

Hi, We had a great meeting today. We primarily discussed how we could integrate Matrix/Riot, and maybe even Telegram to make the #fedora-join more accessible to newbies, and provide them with a better interface than the usual IRC clients. We now have a Matrix channel set up that integrates with our IRC channel. You can hang out in it here: https://riot.im/app/#/room/%23freenode_%23fedora-join:matrix.org We're going to look at setting up a Telegram bridge too. Even when we've made the channel nicer, we still need more contributors to hang in there and help out newbies. Newbies asking questions and not receiving quickish replies seems to have a negative affect on them. So, we'd like to prevent that from happening. We're discussing how we can help contributors hang out in the channel. Making it more accessible helps, of course. For instance, if one can hang out using a phone via Telegram, that helps. We're also thinking of starting a badge series that would be awarded to contributors that help newbies join the community. If you have any ideas and comments, please share them. The complete meeting logs are here: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-3/2018-03-21/fedora-join.2… https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-3/2018-03-21/fedora-join.2… See you in two weeks! -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha
