Looking for Ideas on a User-friendly Join Process

[Marc Ferguson]

Hi,

My name is Marc Ferguson.  I recently joined the websites group for Fedora
Project and I've been assigned to help figure out a very universal and
user-friendly way to tweak http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora.  Can you
please respond to this thread and let us know what your process is for
people to join your group.  In the end we want to make sure we're all "on
the same page" and that the joining process is much easier, thus increasing
the contributors to the project.  Thanks.

Re: Self Introduction

[Marc Ferguson]

Welcome Jeff.  I'm new as well and I need to send out an intro email too.
Funny story, it was actually your "self introduction" email that key'd me
into the online meeting that was taking place 20 minutes before I joined.
So thanks Jeff.  I always wanted to join an open source project, but never
took the first step.  Now I'm a part of the websites group.

I think 22:00 UTC is 15:00 EST.  If so then I'll be able to make it.  Ricky,
I had an item I wanted to put on the agenda, but I don't know how to do
that.

Some one blogged on Planet Fedora about the SHA1SUM files being 5 levels
deep on the site.  I thought we could talk about that and just make it 2
levels by placing a link along with the other big blue blocks on the
right-hand side on the "get fedora" page.

Hi Ricky,

That would be great!  You might have to put it in an email or something, I'm
not certain how we're gonna do any live communications right now. :D

Wow, this topic was really interesting.  I'm wondering after all that email
threading did anyone draft a Google Calendar or Yahoo Calendar?  If not, I
can start one, referencing the Fedora Events, and share it with the admins
and everyone.  I agree that it would be easier to share using Google
Calendar, but that's because I actually use Google Cal on a regular basis...
so that may be bias of me.

Fedora 11 Countdown Banner?

[Marc Ferguson]

Hi,

I have the same JavaScript code on my blog that was used for the Fedora 10
release.  I saw a blog entry (
http://blog.berkenpies.nl/2009/04/02/fedora-11-countdown-counter-part-2/)
talking about the Fedora 11 counter, but it's the same exact code that I
have on my site.  My site is still showing Fedora 10.  Does a Fedora 11
counter exist?

Re: Websites Meeting Times

[Marc Ferguson]

This meeting matrix sounds like a great idea.  I was just about to post,
asking what the meeting frequency is.  I've been to one a while back and
then I check every other week, but nothing (unless I had the wrong time).
My UTC conversion came up with 3:00 PM EST.

I've got a wiki account, but who or where do we setup a matrix like this?
Thanks.
