Yes, that seems to be a good idea. I have made the changes. Other broken pages have been trashed. Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.

Sorry, forgot to cancel the meeting today. Many distractions with various holidays, and especially today and tomorrow are hard ones to get attention of people. :) Cheers all, see you all starting this weekend: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Holiday_Virtual_Hackfest - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

Security Guide on docs.fp.o
by Eric Christensen 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Quaid helped me get the html version of the Linux Security Guide up on docs.fp.o[1] earlier today. We are still working out a few quirks (like the css issue you'll see when visiting the page) but it is up there. Please take a peek at it and provide any feedback you might have. I'm going to work on a few things that I know need to be fixed and plan to do another release next weekend. In the mean time any feedback would be great so we can get this document squared away. There are also other forms of the guide on my Fedora People[2] site that you can play with. Have a fun and safe holiday!

Schedule hackfest
by Paul W. Frields 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hello Artwork, Docs, L10n, Marketing, and Websites teams! First, I hope you all have a happy holiday season, and enjoy some time with friends, family, and loved ones. We've had a really big year in Fedora and I am so incredibly proud to have worked with all of you each day. We've pushed out two incredibly great releases of Fedora this year, Fedora 9 and 10, each stronger than the one before. As we are now deeply into the Fedora 11 development cycle, I've been thinking we really all want to know the various team interdependencies before we get to the Alpha phase of the release. If one team has a particular deadline, and that requires input from some other team to complete, we want to know that. In the best possible world, each team will be producing what its partner needs in plenty of time for that partner team to work effectively, and so on down the line. We've had release day planning meetings over the last couple of releases which have helped, I think, quite a bit to ensure people have what they need from other groups. We have an opportunity to make this process work even more smoothly, and driven more by each team, if we can figure out the very broad tasks that each team has to complete for a release, and map them out on the release schedule. Some of the teams receiving this message have done preliminary (or maybe even more) work on the schedule already, which is fantastic. I think FUDCon gives us a chance to bring together people from most of your teams to flesh that work out where it's helpful. I don't believe we need to "finish" the schedule, and that might be a hazy goal anyway. We'll probably end up finding places where we can refine it after this release to do even better for Fedora 12. But each iteration brings us something that we can use to help releases go more smoothly. Many of us are volunteers, and we all still want to know, first and foremost, that our work is important, and valued in Fedora. The work we do is far more important than simply hitting a date on a calendar. But we also all want to know that we are helping our fellow community members, and that each of us is doing our best to help Fedora move forward as a project. I've asked John Poelstra to help me put together a hackfest at FUDCon Boston 2009, bringing together people from each of your teams to talk through these interdependencies and record them. The result, I believe, will make each succeeding release easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. -- Paul W.

Virtual Hackfest Schedule to be finalized!
by Eric Christensen 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

If you have been considering hosting a Hackfest[1] event but haven't scheduled it yet NOW IS THE TIME! Here is a list of items that have not been claimed as of yet: Wiki Work * Finish F9 User Guide modifications * Update F9 User Guide to F10 Wiki to XML * Post F9 User Guide -> F10, convert to XML * Move completed security drafts to XML Creation Work * Write a migration doc for fedora-doc-utils to publican There are also four days that do not have events planned. Please take a look at the schedule and see when you can help out with an event that is already on the plan. Let's try to make this a success and get a lot of these tasks completed before the end of the year. I'd like to have the schedule firmed up this weekend. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Holiday_Virtual_Hackfest Thanks! Eric

virt hackfest scheduling updates
by Karsten Wade 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

I made some changes in the scheduled activities for the holiday virtual hackfest: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Holiday_Virtual_Hackfest * Moved the XML conversion of the User Guide to Thursday 1 January. There are some earlier days to do the work, but we are dependent on the actual rewrite of the User Guide. * Added a session to rewrite the User Guide for Fedora 9 on Sunday 28 December. However, this really needs to be when Matthew Daniels can lead the work, so that might move. Whenever it is happening, I'll be there to help (except for 2 Jan.) It would rock if we could get a few hours of Elizabeth Ann's time in there, too. cheers - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
