Self-introduction Sylvia Sánchez
by Sylvia Sánchez
Hello,
My name is Sylvia, long ago I joined but later I couldn't contribute for
personal reasons (problems) but I stood around reading and sending a small
idea from time to time.
The thing is, I want to join the team again and contribute. How can I do
this?
Cheers & thanks in advance,
Sylvia S.

[Flock16] [Transcription] Fedora Hubs Meetup/Hackfest
by Justin W. Flory
These are the minutes from the Hubs workshop at Flock today. I'm sending
this out to a couple of lists because I think it's something super
interesting to multiple teams, and the summary (I feel) does a good job
of explaining a complicated thing into common English. Enjoy!

Meeting summary
---------------
* Getting ready / Introduction (jflory7, 11:33:16)
* What is Hubs? (jflory7, 11:48:42)
* Using fedmsg to capture all sorts of activities and information in
Fedora (jflory7, 11:48:53)
* Messages that cross over the bus all involve contributor activity -
1 thing with a problem (like other projects) is no easy way to
connect people with teams that are of interest to them and resources
they need to interact with these teams (jflory7, 11:50:19)
* Systems we use to talk to contributors has their challenges: IRC is
challenging but it's not something most people in the world are
familiar with, have to get client, join channel, register with
NickServ, etc. (same thing can go for mailing lists) (jflory7,
11:51:15)
* Fedora Hubs brings together many systems that we use for
communication and coordination and into a web-based view that
quickly connects people to teams with people in there and what's
happening in there (lowers the learning barrier) (jflory7,
11:51:52)
* Use a widget to follow a discussion and writing a reply, monitor
discussion, etc. (jflory7, 11:52:12)
* Because we have fedmsg, we don't need to vent new channels and new
activities that creates Balkanization problem of new vs. old
contributors (jflory7, 11:52:50)
* IDEA: Opening new views into existing systems (jflory7, 11:53:12)
* Hubs is designed to not just be one arrangement, each team can have
its own hub (jflory7, 11:53:24)
* What do we want to do? (jflory7, 11:54:30)
* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/issue/243 (mizmo, 11:55:35)
* LINK: https://hubs-dev.fedorainfracloud.org (jflory7, 12:03:03)
* LINK: https://hubs-dev.fedorainfracloud.org/skrzepto/ (skrzepto,
12:06:38)
* === Widgets === (jflory7, 12:10:54)
* Adding widget to hub: View your Hub in edit mode, choose your
widget, add it, and configure it on the prompt right after
(jflory7, 12:12:44)
* Requesting a new meeting in Hubs creates a new meeting in Fedocal
(jflory7, 12:16:04)
* pkgdb: Seeing packages ready to be pushed to stable and other
similar details in widgets (jflory7, 12:17:37)
* Badges: View all of your badges (jflory7, 12:17:44)
* Pagure: Newest open pull requests on Pagure tagged with fedora-infra
tag (jflory7, 12:17:57)
* Can also interact with GitHub and Bugzilla (other widgets coming
from outside sources) (jflory7, 12:18:29)
* IDEA: Avoiding silo of communications: Sticky note is maybe not a
good idea because then it isolates those *not* using Hubs, so there
could be separation of information that someone may miss if they are
not on Hubs (jflory7, 12:19:39)
* IDEA: WhenIsGood widget, but need to take caution on communication
silos where it could separate the contributors who are and are not
using Hubs (jflory7, 12:20:13)
* === Hubs groups === (jflory7, 12:20:26)
* LINK: https://hubs-dev.fedorainfracloud.org/designteam/ (mizmo,
12:21:45)
* LINK: https://hubs-dev.fedorainfracloud.org/groups (jflory7,
12:22:54)
* Able to have community rules and guidelines in a group hub, as well
as meetings for schedule and past meeting minutes all from the main
team widget (jflory7, 12:23:54)
* HELP: Need more help on widgets, designing the hubs themselves for
groups - design team has good representation with ryanlerch and
mizmo, but we need more input and involvement with other groups and
teams (jflory7, 12:25:29)
* HELP: Packager needs help and input since it's a large group
(jflory7, 12:25:49)
* LINK: https://github.com/fedora-infra/zanata2fedmsg (jflory7,
12:26:16)
* IRC widget in progress which allows you to view design team channel
(a la Facebook Messenger style) on IRC, you can live chat with the
folks you can see on the hub (jflory7, 12:27:21)
* Q: "My personal hub... will people be able to see that?" (jflory7,
12:30:48)
* A: Yes, but plan to get private and public side, e.g. your live
feed, library widget, things from FAS (jflory7, 12:31:28)
* Personal stream in development for saving things from your incoming
stream for later reference (jflory7, 12:32:28)
* === History of project === (jflory7, 12:32:48)
* New Hubs superhero will be sayan for leading the project forward
(jflory7, 12:33:54)
* HELP: We need some assistance with the IRC widget with user use
case, we're working with developers to developers - mockups would be
helpful (jflory7, 12:35:47)
* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/issues?tags=needsmockup
(jflory7, 12:35:48)
* === So what do we want to do moving forward? === (jflory7,
12:42:18)
* LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/issue/243 <= scavenger hunt, if
anyone is up for a challenge (mizmo, 12:43:15)
* Q: "Do you have a Vagrant set up for this?" (jflory7, 12:45:10)
* A: No-yes? ryanlerch has something he has been working on as a work
in progress, but needs some more visiting (jflory7, 12:45:47)
* HELP: fedora-hubs#243 could use another pair of eyes (jflory7,
12:46:59)
* Open hacking (jflory7, 12:50:10)
* LINK: http://localhost:5000/designteam/ <= no problem (mizmo,
12:52:42)
* LINK: http://localhost:5000/duffy/ <= oopsie (mizmo, 12:52:50)
Meeting ended at 13:40:50 UTC.

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,
14:58:33)
