Re: [Ambassadors] SHACS Presentation report
by Adam Miller 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I had roughly 40 people show up and I have about 5 - 10 who are interested in getting involved with devlopment and packaging. Already have one who has submitted his first review request and is waiting for a sponsor. Others want to get more involved with writing utilities for the security spin (our University Computer Science deparment recently opened a Digital Forensics department so that is still new and fresh with a lot of people going that direction). I've been in touch with lmacken about the security spin stuff and I hope to move forward with that asap. -Adam (From my G1) On Feb 24, 2009 1:33 AM, "Andrew Jamison" <linux(a)blogmethat.net> wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Adam Miller wrote: > This is my report from the event I had scheduled for February 18, 2009 > liste...

Event effects [Re: Outage Notification - Koji, plague 2009-02-21 15:00 UTC]
by Karsten Wade 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I saw this Koji outage affect us at the SCaLE booth just once this weekend, but I don't know how many more there might have been. Do we want to ask Infrastructure to consider the events schedule when planning outages? Not as a trump card, just a consideration. ----- Forwarded message from Dennis Gilmore <dennis(a)ausil.us> ----- From: Dennis Gilmore <dennis(a)ausil.us> To: fedora-devel-announce(a)redhat.com Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:38:07 -0600 Subject: Re: Outage Notification - Koji, plague 2009-02-21 15:00 UTC X-BeenThere: fedora-devel-announce(a)redhat.com On Friday 13 February 2009 09:54:58 pm Dennis Gilmore wrote: > There will be an outage starting at 2009-02-21 15:00 UTC, which will last > approximately 48 hours. > > To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto > or run: > > date -d '2009-02-21 15:00 UTC' > > Affected Services: > > Buildsystem (koji and plague) > > Unaffected Services: > CVS / Source Control > Database > DNS > Fedora Hosted > Fedora People > Fedora Talk > Mail > Mirror System > Torrent > Translation Services > Websites > > Ticket Link: > https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1187 > > Reason for Outage: > Maintenance of /mnt/koji filesystem, > koji DB Maintainence > Upgrade koji to support EPEL, noarch subpackages, srpm's built in a chroot. > along with lots of bug fixes. > > Contact Information: > > Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to > track the status of this outage. This has been completed and building is back to normal. please report any odd failures. there has been a very large change in koji. noarch subpackages are now supported, which needs srpms to be built in a chroot. the last of F-11's features that needed koji changes are now ready to deploy.

SCaLE 7x Event Reports
by Clint Savage 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

More and more SCaLE 7x reports are coming in from the event this weekend. I've been hard at work collecting them on the SCaLE7x Event page on the wiki[1] Please take a moment and make sure I got them all and add yours if I didn't. Also, please take a moment and blog about the FAD if you already didn't. Especially what you liked and didn't like about the process and how it can be improved. I think FADs are the best tool for socializing and getting stuff done. My thought is we will be holding one at every major event we participate. Cheers, Clint 1 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCaLE_7x_Event#Blogs_and_Reports

Fedora Test Day - Tacoma Linux Users Group
by Jesse Keating 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I'm part of Tacoma Linux Users Group (taclug.org) and for our next meeting I'm pitching a "test-fest" for Fedora 11 Beta. The meeting is March 21st and we won't quite have Beta public, but I should have copies of the isos necessary to do testing. Since this will be our first meeting at the local University, we're going to try and get more students involved. I have no idea how many people are going to show up, it should be interesting. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

This is regarding the install fest and FAD at KGEC. The organizers have arranged everything that we wanted. They have changed the venue to their LAB where we will get 2 MBps internet connectivity. They have also managed to get funds in just 2 days and are arranging for food packets for everybody including the participants. There is no participation fee for the event. Participation well over 100 is expected. The FAD starts at 11:00 a.m and continues till the evening with a break in between. The agenda is upon us to decide. Its an install fest cum FAD. So will definitely need all the help we can get to man the booth in the morning and help out in the workshops as well. Bring whatever slides you can. Will decide what exactly to do. The agenda I was thinking is 1> Introduction to Linux and Fedora (Arindam's slides) 2> Installation(using DVD) and configuration( probably using a local mirror) 3> Talk on Myths about Linux busted with Fedora (Subodip's slideshow) 4> A demo and workshop on the various softwares and utilities. 5> Talk on how to contribute to FOSS and how to join Fedora ( Possibly using Satya's slides) The speakers are yet to be decided.
