contributing in docs projec (user guide)
by Shajia Khan
Hi Krasten,
I am willing to start working to for user guide, in the areas like user
guide Tour of the KDE desktop, Xfce desktop or user guide using media. I
have read the primary description of the projects, but I couldn't figure out
what will be the next step. Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

things to get ready for virt hackfest
by Karsten Wade
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

Update: Holiday Virtual Hackfest
by Eric Christensen
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
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).

Installation/Setup for magazine
by Paul W. Frields
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.

fedora Linux Security Guide goes to srpm
by Eric Christensen
Sorry, I thought I had put f-docs-l as an addee.
-------- Forwarded Message --------

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
