things to get ready for virt hackfest
by Karsten Wade 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Just a quick brain dump of what you want to be able to do for virtual hackfest. We are going to do these over the holiday weeks *and* during FUDCon. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_Holiday_Virtual_Hackfest https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11#Hackfest_sessions * Fedora Talk account working with SIP phone (twinkle, ekiga, manual handset) * Gobby installed and read how to get on gobby.fedoraproject.org * IRC ready to use * Tools installed - an editor (Emacs, vi, Gedit, Eclipse, etc.), publican, 'Authoring and Publishing' yum group, 'fedora-doc-utils' (possibly), git/svn/cvs * ??? Stop by #fedora-docs and/or ask here, we'll get each of those things sorted out. Perhaps someone can whip up a section on the wiki page? - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

Update: Holiday Virtual Hackfest
by Eric Christensen 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

During today's meeting I made a couple of changes to the Holiday Virtual Hackfest[1]. We now have taskers for the event but need someone to lead them. Please take a look at the list and see if you'd like to take one of them on and schedule it. Also, if you know of other taskers that need to be addressed please put them under the "Tasks to be scheduled". Thanks, Eric

Packaging Guidelines Organization
by Toshio Kuratomi 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Howdy folks, I'm on the Fedora Packaging Committee and we are in desperate need of some docs help. We manage the Packaging Guidelines which help packagers and reviewers create quality packages for Fedora. Unfortunately, as time has progressed the Guidelines have grown larger and larger in an "organic" fashion. In order to keep the policies managable for people new to Fedora we need to organize them somehow. There's several threads in this: 1) We want something that helps the packager and reviewer find all the Guidelines that apply to the package that they are working on but not to the ones they are not. So we need some sort of navigation based on questions the packager and reviewer can answer about the packages: General Review Items What programming languages is this written in? Is this a library or an application? 2) We want to have a checklist of items to look at with more in-depth information about why a Guideline exists available to those who want to know more. 3) Some of our extra information is more HOWTO-oriented. For instance, the section on Package Naming talks about how to choose a name for a package and how to structure the version strings so that they are always upgradable. If we could get someone to help us work out this restructuring I'm here to work on these things from the FPC side. Feel free to contact me via this list, email, fedora-packaging-list, or on IRC: abadger1999 (#fedora-devel, #fedora-admin). -Toshio

Software Management Guide >> User Guide and Administrator Guide
by Eric Christensen 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Another task that has been on the Docs plate for a while is adding PackageKit to the Software Management Guide[1] (SMG). Karsten has pointed out that the SMG should be folded into either the User Guide[2] or the Administrator Guide[3] or both. It would be great if someone could handle completing the SMG and then handing it off to the writers of the other two guides so those guides can be completed. I don't think it would take more than a couple of paragraphs to discuss how PackageKit works and how to use it. I'll put it on the task list. - -Eric [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SoftwareManagementGuide [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AGBeta -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklIKFEACgkQL5V8yddJCO2yDQCfSjVmXqL7cqYHz4gJRxhzWahc UssAn2AJnMmSdEIcCtysqegPwKWqIC2x =6W5y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Installation/Setup for magazine
by Paul W. Frields 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Over the summer, one of our Marketing contributors created an article for a Linux magazine featuring Fedora 9. The magazine is looking to feature Fedora 10 and wants to have a similar article by around Christmas (25 December) for later publication. Is there someone in the marketing team interested in producing such an article? I can provide details, a contact point, and probably even a pointer to the original article to help provide scope. -- Paul W.

fedora Linux Security Guide goes to srpm
by Eric Christensen 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Sorry, I thought I had put f-docs-l as an addee. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Eric Christensen <eric(a)christensenplace.us> To: security-guide-list(a)redhat.com Subject: fedora Linux Security Guide goes to srpm Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:18:14 -0500 Mike (mhideo) walked me though building rpms of the Linux Security Guide last night. A Bugzilla request[1] has been entered to have the source rpm[2] reviewed. For anyone interested, I also generated a PDF[3] of the LSG. If you take a look at it you will see the obvious difference between the RH text and the Fedora text. There are other problems as well that will be worked out later this month. Feedback is encouraged. I'll let everyone know when I get feedback on the review process. Being a first time submitter, I am looking for a sponsor. Oh, and we'll most likely have this up on docs.fp.o once I get the text squared away. Thanks, Eric [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476471 [2] http://sparks.fedorapeople.org/fedora-Linux_Security_Guide-10-en-US-1.0-1.s… [3] http://sparks.fedorapeople.org/Linux_Security_Guide.pdf
