Meeting summary

* LINK:
https://flock2016.sched.org/event/76n8/thoughts-on-fedora-and-arts
(jflory7, 14:40:11)
* What is a designer? (jflory7, 14:40:20)
* Can be: graphic designer, publicist, web designer, illustrator,
artist, photographer (jflory7, 14:40:44)
* Needs and workflow (jflory7, 14:42:48)
* As a designer, sometimes working on a deadline or working towards a
specific objective (jflory7, 14:43:40)
* Portfolios are important part of establishing self as an artist -
use different tools to create their resources, e.g. portfolio
(jflory7, 14:44:19)
* === On resources === (jflory7, 14:44:59)
* Do we need so much hardware? How much is too little? (jflory7,
14:45:09)
* Being mindful of health is important as well with regards to vision
care (jflory7, 14:46:19)
* Reasons for using open source software for design workflow (jflory7,
14:47:44)
* === Technical reasons === (jflory7, 14:47:49)
* Better resource management (jflory7, 14:47:53)
* Latest features and software (jflory7, 14:48:21)
* Many tools and environments to choose from (jflory7, 14:49:02)
* === Non-technical reasons === (jflory7, 14:49:22)
* Free / open source software (jflory7, 14:49:28)
* Great community (jflory7, 14:49:36)
* Thorough documentation (jflory7, 14:49:40)
* Communities of support for the software to help you work through
issues (e.g. IRC, mailing lists, etc.) (jflory7, 14:49:55)
* Other branches of art (jflory7, 14:50:10)
* Examples: Writers, film makers, musicians (jflory7, 14:50:18)
* With platforms like Fedora, expands the options for music production
with free software without having to prohibit creative freedom due
to costs or other challenges (jflory7, 14:51:35)
* Conclusions (jflory7, 14:52:24)
* Fedora is awesome! (jflory7, 14:52:29)
* Open source design programs are high quality and can be used to
create a powerful workflow as a designer (jflory7, 14:52:49)
* It's not the future, and it's happening right now, such as in
projects like Fedora (jflory7, 14:53:00)
* Audience: Comments on popular tooling, mention of FocusWriter, good
utility for writing that helps you focus in your own workflow and
enhance your writing (jflory7, 14:55:21)
* Q: "What would you like to see improved in Fedora as a designer?"
(jflory7, 14:57:11)
* A: Thinking about other kinds of challenges or difficulties limited
to hardware, particularly for those using older hardware, battery
life, and other optimizations; program variety helps so having the
tools available to be alternatives to popular proprietary tools is
helpful. For me, Fedora is mostly perfect as it is. (jflory7,

#fedora-flock-openqa: Fedora Magazine and what it teaches us about users - Speaker: Paul Frields (pfrields / stickster)
=======================================================================================================================
Meeting started by jflory7 at 13:31:20 UTC. The full logs are available
at
https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-flock-openqa/2016-08-02/flock2016.…
.
Meeting summary
---------------
* Introductions (jflory7, 13:31:27)
* Talking a little bit about what the Magazine is for, what it's not
for, and what it tells us about our audience (jflory7, 13:32:17)
* Magazine objectives (jflory7, 13:32:32)
* We present general information about Fedora to the general public
(jflory7, 13:32:52)
* Aiming audience to the general public, not just people who are
working on Fedora (jflory7, 13:33:10)
* Does the Magazine only care about the desktop and desktop apps? NO!
We love to have articles about the Server and Cloud editions. Some
of the "regulars" tend to be oriented towards Workstation, but we're
more than willing and welcome any contributions about other types of
content (jflory7, 13:34:25)
* How it worked then... (jflory7, 13:34:38)
* Daily or weekly articles of interest (jflory7, 13:34:44)
* About trying new apps (jflory7, 13:34:47)
* Release announcements / news (jflory7, 13:34:53)
* Test Days and other new-contributor announcements (jflory7,
13:35:03)
* Trying to get Fedora seen by more people - "this isn't your father's
fedora" (jflory7, 13:35:53)
* Fedora isn't a *bleeding* edge distro (think more along cutting
edge) - helping convey that message via Magazine is one application
(jflory7, 13:37:06)
* === Biggest response === (jflory7, 13:38:20)
* Always comes from new releases (jflory7, 13:38:26)
* Official announcement source as of lately (jflory7, 13:38:34)
* Moving average rising (jflory7, 13:38:41)
* === Next biggest response === (jflory7, 13:41:18)
* Howtos are very popular (jflory7, 13:41:21)
* Upgrades, security fixes, broad appeal tools (jflory7, 13:41:30)
* Powerline, fonts, virt, Vagrant... (jflory7, 13:41:38)
* Things that don't work well (jflory7, 14:10:42)
* === 1. Interface tours === (jflory7, 14:10:44)
* Rate of change, attention span, etc. (jflory7, 14:10:46)
* === 2. Community internal topics === (jflory7, 14:10:58)
* However, the CommBlog is awesome! (jflory7, 14:11:01)
* LINK: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org (jflory7, 14:11:02)
* Also carries to the Fedora Planet (jflory7, 14:11:04)
* === 3. Silent publishing === (jflory7, 14:11:30)
* Social media – please help! (jflory7, 14:11:32)
* Our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Diaspora,
Telegram announcement channel, Reddit, and more (jflory7, 14:11:34)
* LINK:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/social-media@lists.fedoraprojec…
(jflory7, 14:11:39)
* Q: Any thoughts on translating content? (jflory7, 14:11:41)
* A: Long and complicated answer: not easy to do, not always efficient
(duplicating content), not always free (freedom or beer)... we've
considered but an easy solution doesn't seem possible. Needs more
thought and consideration. (jflory7, 14:11:43)
* Q: "Do we want to reach non-English native readers?" (jflory7,
14:11:47)
* A: Is a news website the best place to send foreign readership?
Consider other publishing sites too. Biggest hurdle is the tech
hurdle. Also quality of translated content too. Consistency is also
important. (jflory7, 14:11:49)
* HELP: If you have ideas or thoughts on translating content for the
Magazine, please share them with us in the Marketing team!
(jflory7, 14:11:52)
* Content changes (jflory7, 14:12:03)
* Focus on enabling users – NOT just desktop specific (jflory7,
14:12:08)
* Some announcements about broad public events (jflory7, 14:12:10)
* Still carries release news! (jflory7, 14:12:18)
* Interviews (How do you Fedora?) (jflory7, 14:12:26)
* Not asking for audience action – rather, help them do what *they*
want (jflory7, 14:12:33)
* Pragmatic approach (jflory7, 14:12:35)
* Non-FOSS software, licit software: OK (example: Chrome) (jflory7,
14:12:39)
* Illicit software (FOSS or not): Not OK (jflory7, 14:12:41)
* Q: "Do we have a responsibility to promote alternatives to non-free
software?" (jflory7, 14:12:43)
* A: No, not really – usually if we're writing about software, we're
not trying to argue in an article whether they can use it. We're
focusing on enabling the author to write about using Fedora the way
that they want to. If they like to include alternatives, they can.

(jflory7, 14:13:21)
* How does it appeal to the user? (jflory7, 14:13:25)
