www.fpo redesign status
by Máirín Duffy 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, The original due date for the finished www.fpo mockups is this Friday. I'm on a business trip this week and it's quite clear to me now I just won't be able to make the deadline. :( Would it be okay if I tried for next Friday, Oct. 2? It should still leave 2 weeks for HTML/CSS on those pages, and the spins mocks have been done for a week so it shouldn't hold up Hiemanshu & co. since they still have those to work on. For reference our schedule is: * DONE: #Requirements gathering * DONE: #First design mockups * DONE Aug 21 - Aug 28 : gather feedback, determine metrics, usability testing for spins.fp.o (mizmo) * DONE Aug 21 - Sep 04 : gather feedback, determine metrics, usability testing for get.fp.o (mizmo) * DONE Aug 28 - Sep 20 : Final design mockups for spins.fp.o (mizmo) * Sep 04 - Sep 27 : Final design mockups for get.fp.o (mizmo) * Sep 20 - Oct 20: convert spins.fp.o and get.fp.o to html/css (hiemanshu) * Oct 20 : get spins.fp.o and get.fp.o onto infrastructure (ricky) ~m (schedule from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009)

Unblocking pagemaster and filterutil module package reviews
by Mel Chua 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Both of these packages should be ready for review. Pagemaster: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519483 (and https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/65#comment:3) Filterutil: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526595 (and https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/25) I'll be the maintainer of these packages for now so that Toshio can proceed with the reviews. Rahul is, however, planning on stepping in later and re-taking maintainership from me. This is based on yesterday's Marketing meeting, http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-09-29/fedora-meeting.2… starting at 20:25:08. Holler if there's anything else I can do to help unblock this. --Mel PS: We're almost done with packaging for the F12 Fedora Insight release - ezComments is waiting for Dustin Diaz to reply; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523343 (and https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/36) and I believe the other module we have left to tackle before launch is Something For WYSIWYG, and that some wonderful Docs people have already been doing this, but do not know who's doing that and what's up with it... if anyone reading this knows, can you ping me? Else I'll dig around the next chance I have to get a look at this.

Fedora Insight schedule slip: new launch date 10/14
by Mel Chua 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

We originally planned to launch Fedora Insight on September 29 (right before infrastructure freeze), but I think we'll be in a much better position to get a stable platform up and tested, with a contribution workflow we're all happy with, if we push the launch date out until right after the freeze instead. Therefore, our new launch target is Oct 14 (when the freeze lifts), and our revised schedule is on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight#Schedule. I'd like everyone to be happy with what we're putting out there, instead of feeling panicked and scrambling to rush things in before the freeze hits - sanity is good. You'll see me chugging away on FI stuff over the weekend and as next week gets underway - please join the fun if you can. ;) Cheers*, --Mel *...and concerns, questions, comments, etc totally welcome, as always.

RE: zikula broken

I'm at work so I have to reply on my mobile. These are libraries used literally every time Zikula is run, and they dont just disappear so I can only assume they were accidentally deleted or otherwise broken by someone.

Can anyone from the websites team give any ETA's on when the mockups will be converted to usable websites? -Mike On Fri, 18 Sep 2009, Máirín Duffy wrote: > Hi, > > I just finished the set of mockups for spins.fpo.

spins.fpo mockups complete
by Máirín Duffy 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi, I just finished the set of mockups for spins.fpo. The original deadline was today so yay for making deadlines. :) They are available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo Some caveats: - I did a KDE-specific banner graphic for the KDE pages. I can do the same for other desktop environment spins that have distinctive upstream logo marks. There is a generic solid banner design presented in the mockups as well to serve as the banner for the non-DE spins. - The text in the home and about screens for the KDE spin details is pretty much filler text. I am hoping that individual spin maintainers can help develop this content when the site is built. - I am not 100% which spins are going to be available for F12. Some of the ones in the mockup don't exist yet (e.g. Art Studio). Is a definitive list available anywhere right now? - It appears that previous version of spins are not available for all spins except for KDE and Desktop. In some cases, I've found F10 ISOs for selected spins (I believe FEL and one other). The previous KDE spins in particular appear to be split between archive.fpo and the redhat.com mirror, although only f7, f8, f10, and f11 were available - f9 nowhere to be found. This is a bit of a strange state of affairs so I'm wondering if it's just better to not mention archived versions at all. - the Spins Community page is going to rely on content that for the most part has not yet been developed. There *is* actually an interview with Chitlesh on the Fedora wiki but I'm not aware of any other content available that we could use. We may need to hold on this area of the site until content is developed. - The 'featured spin' widget in the right sidebar will need some kind of script to run it; it's intended to rotate through the spins. - Spin-specific documentation seems scattered, and it's confusing to find content on using spins vs. creating them. It's also hard because sometimes they are referred to as live media, live cds, spins, or remixes. I poured through any documents I could find using those terms and tried to merge them into one spin-users guide for the spin support page. - The about spins page content may be full of crack rock. Actually, pretty much all of the content is going to need a thorough review. :-/ Lemme know what you think! ~m

Remaining FI platform blockers
by Mel Chua 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

For Fedora insight, we've got a "move stuff to staging" deadline of September 20 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight#Schedule), which is this Sunday. So I want to make sure we all know where we stand... Mo, Simon, and I agreed to list the remaining FI platform (read: non-content, non-workflow - this includes the infra/skin/design) blockers in order to try to minimize bottlenecks. We're hoping this will allow other people to take some of the load off our plate (as some people have already started doing - thank you for stepping in with module packaging, Toshio!) Here's my first pass at it, also reflected in reflected in https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/query?status=new&status=assigned&st…; Mo and Simon will chime in shortly with additions/modifications to the list. If anyone else knows something that's missing, please chime in - or better yet, add a https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/newticket with the Fedora Insight component. I'll make sure the tickets stay up-to-date with any responses to this thread, but both emailing /and/ making a ticket makes my life easier. ;) * Simon needs to walk a packager through packaging the filterutil module and packaging an updated pagemaster module. Toshio has taken a first pass at it, so Simon needs to figure out whether this clears the blocker (and if not, specify what is required to clear the blocker). The packages will also need to be reviewed and deployed. https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/25 * Mo needs to finish v.1.0 development of the skin and create tickets for any blockers that prevent her from doing so, so that others can resolve them (for instance, "I can't find the tag that does $foo," or "$module doesn't work.") This skin will also need to be packaged, reviewed, and deployed. https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/27 * Mel needs to make sure that everything is set with Infra (mmcgrath) for deployment; I think this means a draft SOP listing the packages to be installed (which implies all packages are available), usage of that SOP to get stuff onto staging, load-testing on staging, and then movement to production. https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/28 * Mel needs to get zikula-module-EZComments reviewed and deployed on pt6. https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/36 * Simon needs to fix the bug that pops up when the Feeds module is installed; it claims to be a PHP segfault (...key word here is "claims" - this isn't actually possible). This involves manually importing SQL, and doing so in a way that's reproducible (I'm guessing via the package's spec file?) https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/38 That is all I can think of. Mo? Simon? Others? What non-content, non-workflow things do we need to make this a go for a September 28 launch? Thanks to everybody for your *tremendous* help so far in getting this up and running - Simon, Mo, Eric, Rahul, David, Paul, Bob, Robyn, Mike, Toshio, Keiran, and Ricky, to name a *very* partial list (if I've missed you on this list, *please* let me know because I want to make sure everyone knows who's responsible for our awesome launch in 2 weeks. ;) --Mel

www.fpo designs update :(
by Máirín Duffy 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, With the Zikula skinning work proving to be a lot more challenging than I could have ever anticipated, it looks like I am going to need extra time on the www.fpo and spins.fpo design work. The original dates we had discussed: ∘ final design mockups for spins.fpo due sep 20 ∘ final design mockups for get.fpo due sep 27 To me, it looks like this is just not going to be remotely possible without multiple all-nighters. This is also complicated by the fact I will be on a business trip Sep 21-25 and it's likely (but not impossible) I won't have much spare time during that week. Is there any way we can push back dates on these items at all? Or should I drop Zikula skinning (the skin was due Sep 15, due to a number of technical blockers that date was missed) and move on to the websites mockups right now or should I power through the Zikula skinning and hope for more time on the fpo mockups? I'm really sorry this is so short-notice. I started work on the Zikula skin a couple of weeks early to try to avoid this situation but apparently that wasn't enough. :( ~m

EZComments packaged and working; need reviewer
by Mel Chua 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

This email is a little triumph celebration, as well as a request for a reviewer. 07:01:17 < mchua> WOO! 07:01:22 < mchua> http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/index.php/News/2009/8/17/First-… 07:02:07 < mchua> (1) I made an RPM... for both f11 and el5, with mock (which I previously had never used before) 07:02:18 < mchua> (2) And it works on a test instance. Bwahahaha! 07:02:45 < mchua> now if I can only get someone to take my review request at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523343 07:03:33 < mchua> then https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/36 will be closed (#36 is a blocker to FI deployment, because comments are a Really Important Functionality to have.) Thanks to ricky, mmcgrath, mdomsch, tmz, and everyone else who helped me stumble through this "packaging" thing for the second time. Now to go through review for the first time... --Mel
