Holiday Virtual Hackfest
by Eric Christensen 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Earlier this afternoon a discussion was had at #fedora-docs about putting together a "Virtual Hackfest". As Stickster put it "We get together on IRC and work through teaching/learning, cleaning up our Project wiki pages and whatever else comes to mind". A lot of things actually come to mind. This could be an excellent opportunity to get the wiki in better shape (after all the recent change requests), to learn about Publican and Emacs, and to get work done. I think we are talking about the week after Christmas (Dec 28th through Jan 6). So, who's interested? I can start a wiki page for people to sign up for days/times to teach something or for someone to host a clean up.

We may need that > option if we cannot get everything done with available resources. I believe a topic based classification of the user guide can be more helpful. This way contributors can write all three releases in one place. User guides for specific releases can then be generated auto-magically from them. For example, Configuring Peripherals ---> How To Configure Mouses --->[[3 Versions] ]--->[[Kde/Gnome/Xfce]] Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math. Soc

User Guide
by Matthew Daniels 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Hey everyone, I'm planning on taking on the User Guide. If anyone has any suggestions or issues, please let me know. As it stands, the User Guide pages on the wiki are kind of mixed up between F8, F9, and F10. Any help resolving this would be appreciated. - Matthew Daniels

Self-Introduction: Rüdiger Landmann
by Ruediger Landmann 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Hi all, By way of introduction.... What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past? I'm currently employed as a content author by Red Hat. Prior to this, I was running my own computer support and repair business and developing documentation for clients was a regular part of the work. Most of this was in the form of "how-to"s to enable domestic and small business users to carry out various tasks. In my spare time, I'm a Wikipediholic with around 45,000 edits to my name. What level and type of computer skills do you have? I have extensive hardware troubleshooting skills and more experience than I care to think about in troubleshooting and repairing broken Windows installations :) I'm a relative newcomer to Linux – I'd dabbled a bit over the years but only started using it regularly about 18 months ago, and pretty much exclusively around 12 months ago. The move was prompted by the deteriorating performance of Windows XP on my main business/personal computer and that spending my work time troubleshooting other people's Windows disasters left me with little enthusiasm for troubleshooting my own after hours! * What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc. I was a teacher in a previous career, and have skills and experience in explaining concepts and procedures to others. * What makes you an excellent match for the project? I'm enthusiastic (even zealous!) about Linux on the desktop and have the writing and teaching skills to communicate that to others, and I'm looking forward to contributing here. :) * GPG KEYID and fingerprint [rlandmann@schwalbe ~]$ gpg --fingerprint CCBD85A8 pub 1024D/CCBD85A8 2008-12-03 eKy fingerprint = B9AA 4775 B046 5845 559F F5B2 174C EF76 CCBD 85A8 uid R\xfc\x64iger Landmann <r.landmann(a)redhat.com> sub 1024g/F17C9A84 2008-12-03

wiki Releases/10

I hope I didn't step on some S.O.P., but I noticed /Releases/10 did not exist, so I added it and revised /Releases. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10 -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3

Fedora HW requirements
by Adam Pribyl 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

I am just bit surprised that Fedora hardware requirements remain same thru release notes from Fedora Core 2 (almost 5 years) ut to Fedora 10. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Insta… I think we should consider to review this, as this is really getting outdated. I know that Fedora can run on P200MHz with 64MB RAM, but it's not usefull for work, and I would really not consider something like PII400MHz with 256MB of RAM as recommended hardware. I personaly start to feel slowness on PIII800MHz with 512MB of RAM with default Gnome, KDE4 is not possible use on this HW due to unresponsive GUI. I know this is much about the feeling, but recommended I would consider (looking into smolt results) something around 2GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM. For 64bit I think there should be mentioned that you need to have a CPU with either AMD64 or EM64T technology, the RAM and gigahertz may remain the same.. Thanks for attention Adam Pribyl

For 64bit I think there should be I think P3 733 MHZ with 512 MB of RAM (or even 384MB) would be ok if you use a reasonable graphics card with some dedicated memory.

Hi, i was reviewing some pages and i found the link 'cvsdocs' in the page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join/CheckList is broken. In the section "All Contributors" we have the following step * Request sponsorship in the 'cvsdocs' group after you have completed your self-introduction. This is my first observation, ¿what should i do? Saludos -- Hans L. Verduguez Fernandez Banco Bisa | Informática 2317272(1267) | 22611267
