Membership requests to Docs FAS Group
by Eric Christensen 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

I just sent a message to six people that requested membership in the Docs project (via the FAS group) but did not complete the other requirements, namely the introduction on the list. These requests are from between 14 September and 15 October. I'll revisit the queue next week to determine whether or not these people have met the membership requirements[1] or not. If not I will remove them from the queue. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Docs_Project#Yes --Eric

Hi doc team and sparks in particular, i feel embarassed for my intrusion into the community dir of the Security Guide. My commit of the it-IT book, included erroneously also the pot files.

Double-check User Guide bits
by Ben Cotton 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Docs friends, I'm sending this e-mail because I've come across a few things while updating the User Guide and I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I do last-minute, hurried, major edits. * Sound Recorder [1] -- doesn't seem to exist in a default install, and I can't find it in PackageKit * CD/DVD Creator [2] -- no longer exists, but Brasero is installed by default (the F13 UG says it isn't, but my F14 VM has it without any effort on my part) * We make a few references to the iPod [3] -- shouldn't that have a &TM; or something similar after it, or is that not a big deal? Please let me know if I'm sane or not (at least as regards to the items above). Thanks, BC [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/sect-User_Gui… [2] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/sect-User_Gui… [3] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/sect-User_Gui… -- Ben Cotton

New Members!
by Eric Christensen 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd like to apologize for not being on the ball with responding to new members. Please know that the delay was not a personal slight! We are getting close to the release date for Fedora 14 so there is a mixture of work that's being done. Mostly guides are being translated right now so there aren't a lot of changes occurring. Don't let that stop you from jumping in if you see something that you might want to get involved in. We also have our meetings on Wednesdays at 23:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting on Freenode IRC[1]. Hope to see you there!

Publican 2.3 is here
by Ruediger Landmann 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi all; Publican 2.3 is out today, containing some important bug fixes for Localization, plus the substantially reworked visual styles that we've been discussing lately on Publican-list. You can find a summary of all the changes on Jeff Fearn's fedorapeople page[0], or get more detail from the very first Publican Release Notes, thanks to Ryan Lerch and Darrin Mison![1] Just like last time, it is particularly important for anyone translating documents or building translated documents to upgrade to the new version as soon as possible, because of the localization bugs fixed in this release. To accommodate the changes in visual styling, a new versions of the Fedora brand package (2.0) is also available. To install Publican 2.3 and the updated brand packages on your Fedora 12 or Fedora 13 system, download the packages from Koji [2] If Publican 2.3 works for you on Fedora, please leave positive karma in Bodhi so that Publican 2.3 and the brand packages reach the main Fedora repos sooner.[3] Note that you must be logged in, or your karma won't count. Cheers Rudi [0] http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/en-US/index.html [1] http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/en-US/Publican/2.3/html-single/Release_Notes… [2] Fedora 13 -- http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/publican/2.3/0.fc13/noarch/publi… http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/publican-fedora/2.0/0.fc13/noarc… or Fedora 12 -- http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/publican/2.3/0.fc12/noarch/publi… http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/publican-fedora/2.0/0.fc12/noarc… [3] Fedora 13 -- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/publican-2.3-0.fc13 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/publican-fedora-2.0-0.fc13 or Fedora 12 -- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/publican-2.3-0.fc12 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/publican-fedora-2.0-0.fc12

Introducing...
by Scott Thistle 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi all. My name is Scott Thistle and I am a Fedora Ambassador in Calgary, AB, Canada. I have also applied to the fedora-docs group as I ... ahem.. like documentation. I have been a user of Fedora since Core, used Redhat 7-9 before that. I am an RHCE on v3 and v5. Have been using Linux since about 1996 and been servicing PC and stuff since about 86. First 'NIX work was with QNX in 86/87.. Anyway, I want to contribute something back to Fedora and thought that the Docs program might be a good place to work. I pick up new things pretty quick, so I hope to be of some assistance quickly. Thanks Oh.. On IRC, I am sthistle.. I try to be online and provide help as I can.. -------------------------- Scott Thistle scott(a)tekkie.org http://www.linkedin.com/in/scottthistle

Introduction
by Keith Calligan 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

*Name* Keith Calligan *Time Zone / Country * Eastern Standard Time/USA *Basic skills and experiences* I've been working with various flavors of Linux for about 11 years (about 10 years professionally). I obtained my RHCE certification (RHEL 5) back in February of 2009. Through my work experience, I have worked in various job roles including network operations, technical support, and systems administration. At one time, I ran a web hosting company. Through that role, I gained knowledge of the Apache web server, Sendmail, Bind, Mysql, and some php configuration. I also have some experience working with VOIP on Linux systems. At one of my companies, I setup a fax to email solution using Asterisk. Nowadays, I build and maintain Red Hat servers for my company. This includes setting-up, hardening, configuring, and patching servers that range from Snort sensors, Apache web servers, mail servers, DNS servers, etc. I also have a little bit of a networking background in Cisco equipment and am familiar with basic firewall configuration and theory. *Why you're joining * I am joining the documentation project because I’ve learned a lot about Linux over the years and would like to give some of that knowledge back so more people can learn. I’m also using this to learn from others in the group. I've always had a preference for Red Hat for servers and Fedora for a Linux desktop system, so I think this is the best place for me to contribute. *What you're looking to do (be specific)* I’d like to start with writing some documentation. Some small tasks to start off and maybe more later. I think I can be of great help in regards to writing about any Linux configuration tasks. *How much time you can contribute (usually hours per week)* I can start out with an average of 2-4 hours a week. Some weeks may be more and others less. Thanks, Keith Calligan My Key pub 2048R/0B3E7347 2010-10-22 Key fingerprint = E349 DB19 19FB 85C5 8D88 70AF 5084 7F84 0B3E 7347 uid Keith Calligan <keith(a)calligan.name> sub 2048R/D87BF952 2010-10-22
