kbase fedora project
by Marek Mahut 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello all, I want just to ask if there's something new about idea of fedora kbase listed over here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/TaskSchedule ? I think it's a good idea to make some collection of technical how to's for users, and I'm ready to help. Good example is the doc wiki of our french colleagues http://doc.fedora-fr.org/Accueil. Regards, Marek Mahut

Nominations now open, Elections for FDSCo 2-Feb to 12-Feb
by Karsten Wade 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Your project leadership, the Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSCo), is now opening all seats for election in this first FDSCo election during 2 to 12 Feb 2007. The nominations page is: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/Nominations You can read the full details at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Policy/FDSCoElections Why are we doing this? Because it's the right thing to do, finally, and it also happens to be required by the Fedora Project. Projects such as the Fedora Documentation Project are important community Essential election details are: * 7 seats for FDSCo is the right size * All seats are open for this election * Every six months we have a new election and refresh 1/2 of the seats (4/3 split) * For this first election only, three of the seats are up for reelection in six months; otherwise, terms are one year long. * The three seats up for reelection are the three that received the fewest votes in the first election, just for this first election. * FDSCo elects its own chair on an annual basis; the chair is the project leader. Speaking of leadership, it's way past time for me to send this email out. Let's fill up FDSCo and find someone to replace me, either this time or next time. I'm starting to get old and forgetful here! Need some new energy/blood to stir things up, while I continue on my curmudgeonly ways. cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Red Hat internal group you are referring to here was approached to hand over the code to the translation web applications which was done some time ago. I am not sure what has happened since then, but depending on the scope I may be able to help. > 2. Content from RH, licensed under our terms (OPL w/no options).

Self-Intro: Eddie Elizondo
by Eddie Elizondo 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hello. This is Eddie Elizondo from Laredo, TX, US. Other than strong grammatical and general writing skills, I don't have many qualifications to report. I have been using Fedora since June 2006, with FC5 on my laptop and FC6 on my desktop. I do not know code and I cannot write technical documents, but I can and want to contribute by editing draft and existing documentation for grammatical errors and general ease of reading. I don't have any experience from previous projects, but there's no better way to start by using one's strengths. I believe I've followed all the necessary instructions to get started. After creating a Fedora account, will I need to e-mail someone for special permissions to edit documents? Thanks.

HOWTO for Live CD in the Fedora Project wiki
by John Babich 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

David Zeuthen and the Live CD Team: I think it would help promote the Fedora Live CD efforts if there was a HOWTO (based on the README) which could be easily referenced and updated as needed in the Fedora Project wiki. In order to do this, I converted the README for the Live CD Tools into a formatted wiki entry under my sandbox, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich/Sandbox/LiveCDHowTo. I would like to move it to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo. I am willing to track changes in the Live CD process and update the wiki accordingly. Please let me know if you agree and I will link the HOWTO under the FedoraLiveCD entry and take responsibility to keep it up-to-date. John Babich Volunteer, Fedora Docs Project

CVS sponsors needed by lang team
by Karsten Wade 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Can one or a few experienced translators volunteer to be a CVS Sponsor? You would receive requests for the 'cvsdocs' group, can act to give 'User' access to these requests, and would handle the requests from CVS access from translators. Right now this covers only the 'cvsdocs' group, but when L10N is integrated into cvs.fedoraproject.org, the Translation Project would use the same mechanism to give access to e.g. 'cvstrans'. What's happening currently is that mostly we have Administrators, who do not receive account requests. Requesters are having to track down someone to help them, since we only have one or two Sponsors over 'cvsdocs'. Any other ideas here? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
