#403 Should we create a schedule static page
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by shaiton.

There is no easy way to know when our next Fedora will be released.
People should look for the right wiki page, and there could be frequent updates.

I propose to design a simple page containing the main schedules (Alpha, Beta and GA releases).
The data would be taken from the online official schedule (parsing as XML I think). This would be shared by ou main fpo websites (for the countdown banner..)

The content would be in fpo/get-prerelease and on a secondary page like schedule.fpo? or just fpo/schedule?


IMO it's useful to have a schedule page, but just fpo/schedule. This means importing the schedule directly to fp.o sites instead of having it "only" on the wiki, right?

If yes, we should consider linking the fpo/schedule page also in the main fpo page, as requested in ticket #162. If I remember right we have a link to the wiki scheduling page during Alpha and Beta stage, although it's not very visible actually.

If we want to have such a page, which imports the schedule as XML, we could use this page also for:
Autohide the Alpha button at "Release date + 10 days" (for example) #141
Manage the release counter better by grabbing the date automatically #142

One thing related to this to note is that we are looking at rolling fedocal out to production before too long.

https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/calendar/

is the staging instance.

Perhaps we could leverage that and a Fedora calendar on it with the schedule?
But it might be it doesn't meet your needs for counters or other things.

I think fedocal is more about contributor meetings or why not events. Our page will just be a static entry for marketing. Jreznik, your opinion?

Fixed at F20 Alpha release.
