We're part of the SPARK Libraries so we really appreciate all the documentation 14:28:01 <yboston> lots of learnign a people working in pairs 14:28:33 <remingtron> glad to hear it! It looked like lots of tasks got done, which is exciting 14:28:37 <yboston> also, thanks to being more comfortable with git I was able to start pushing doc changes during the conference 14:29:09 <remingtron> yboston++ for pushing things in 14:29:14 <yboston> remingtron: thanks again for working ont he Lynn docs, I am glad her stuff has now made it in thanks to you 14:29:38 <remingtron> yboston: you're welcome, I still need to work on the 2.7 version 14:30:16 <remingtron> should we try the next agenda item? 4b. 14:30:29 <remingtron> Add Creative Commons license image to docs footer 14:30:41 <yboston> #topic Add Creative Commons license image to docs footer 14:30:55 <yboston> I guess we need Robert's help for that? 14:31:14 <yboston> (to make the actual changes in the DIG server) 14:31:35 <yboston> anything else you, remingtron, want to add about it? 14:31:56 <remingtron> yes, but I emailed him and he mentioned that the oversight board previously asked us to use the same footer as the main website 14:32:07 <remingtron> so he wondered if we need to ask the board first 14:32:26 <remingtron> (and the main website has since changed design, so we aren't in sync currently anyway) 14:32:52 <yboston> let me look at both site for a second 14:32:58 <yboston> *sites 14:34:43 <yboston> I am a board member, and sadly I don't remmeber this discussion. Maybe it is becuase Iw as ntoa board member at the time or I am just mistaken 14:35:00 <remingtron> robert thought it was around 2012 14:35:45 <yboston> OK, I think I became a board memebr in 2013, but I was always part of DIG and I still don't remmeber :( 14:36:04 <remingtron> anyway, he thought it would be easy to change, just a matter of whether we should ask the board first 14:36:13 <yboston> so the goal is to 1) match the footer of the current EG site 2) also add creative common icon? 14:36:17 * kmlussier doesn't recall that discussion either. 14:36:31 <yboston> maybe it was the web committee? 14:36:52 <kmlussier> I remember a discussion of making sure all evergreen-ils.org domains had a logo. 14:37:04 <remingtron> yboston: I think those two goals sound good 14:37:27 <kmlussier> Is there any reason why the creative commons license can't be used for the entire web site, not just the docs? 14:38:07 <kmlussier> Probably something to bring up with the web team, but I think it would be a good thing to work towards. 14:38:16 <yboston> I don't see why not, though I can't remember the CC flavor we are plannign on using 14:38:32 <yboston> kmlussier: are you still part of the web team? 14:38:42 <kmlussier> We already have the CC flavor for the docs. It just isn't in the footer. 14:39:15 <yboston> kmlussier: pardon my ignorance, but where is it? 14:39:34 <kmlussier> I'm looking now, but remingtron found it the other day. Maybe he can find it faster than me. :) 14:39:59 <remingtron> sure... 14:40:06 <kmlussier> Found it http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/licensing.html 14:40:38 <yboston> thanks 14:40:39 <remingtron> yup, that's it, burried in the "Installing the Evergreen Server" section 14:41:31 <yboston> good to know 14:42:04 <yboston> Off the top of my head, this might be more of a n issue to be coordinated with the web team more thatn witht he board 14:42:44 <yboston> since we are just wanted to state a licensing term that is not in question 14:43:21 <yboston> except if there is anything on the main site that should not be covered under Creative Commons, in case we as a community do not own , for example 14:44:42 <remingtron> perhaps we should go ahead and change our docs footer, then let the web team and board know 14:45:02 <yboston> remingtron: that is fine 14:45:32 <yboston> not sure if I shold put an action item for Robert when he is not here> 14:45:34 <yboston> ? 14:45:51 <yboston> remingtron: can I give you an action item to contact him about it? 14:45:56 <remingtron> give me an action to ask him, yeah that! 14:46:48 <yboston> #action remingtron will contact Robert Sooullier about updating the docs sites to match the footer of the regular EG site; also to add the CC icon 14:47:12 <kmlussier> In the minutes here - http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=governance:minutes:2012-08-08 - there is mention of requiring Evergreen web sites to use the logo. 14:47:54 <yboston> kmlussier: thanks 14:47:56 <kmlussier> There is no mention of the footer being the same. I also don't know if the policy that was to be drafted ever was done. But I really don't think there was anything from the EOB saying that footers needed to match. 14:48:41 <kmlussier> We just wanted to make sure the Evergreen mark be displayed on evergreen-ils.org sites. 14:48:44 <yboston> I think that it is always nice when sub sites have a matching look when it is not too onerous to maintain it 14:49:27 <remingtron> well, I think we can leave that discuss for the web committee, sound okay? 14:49:43 <kmlussier> remingtron: Sounds good to me. I'll make sure it gets added to the agenda. 14:49:54 * kmlussier wonders when we will next meet. 14:50:36 <yboston> #action kmlussier will add an agenda item tot he web team about updating the doc site footers to match the main site footer, as well as include the CC icon 14:50:43 <yboston> anything else for now? 14:50:57 <remingtron> just two brief things 14:51:31 <remingtron> 1. I am continuing to work on the Docs reorg per-audience wiki page, and I welcome all input from others 14:51:47 <remingtron> #link http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:reorg_2014:audience_focused_layout 14:52:55 <remingtron> 2. Anytime we need to add a missing section to our docs, or a feature, we should check Sitka's docs and borrow content and screenshots 14:53:11 <remingtron> #link http://docs.sitka.bclibraries.ca/Sitka/current/html/ 14:53:30 <remingtron> (currently for EG 2.6, but they have a branch for 2.8 in the works) 14:53:34 <remingtron> that's all from me 14:53:44 <yboston> very cool 14:54:00 <yboston> #idea Anytime we need to add a missing section to our docs, or a feature, we should check Sitka's docs and borrow content and screenshots 14:54:45 <yboston> anything else from anyone here? 14:56:32 <yboston> OK then, I will wrap up the meeting 14:56:45 <yboston> thanks everyone 14:57:48 <yboston> #endmeeting
