Six Sigma with R
by John J. McDonough
If anyone is curious about the R document I'm working on, the current
progress is at:
http://jjmcd.fedorapeople.org/Download/R-2.13-Six_Sigma_with_R_-_A_Tutori...
Note that this is very incomplete. I don't know if I will ever complete
this beast. Each section requires getting some appropriate example
data, running experiments to demonstrate the concept, thinning it out to
just the important essence, then actually writing prose.
R is incredibly rich with all sorts of twisty passageways so even the
simplest things often turn into multi-day adventures. Fun, for sure,
but very time consuming. Maybe this is my version of Angry Birds.
Naturally, each time I touch this I think of a few more things I forgot
to include!
If anyone wishes to help with this project it would be appreciated, but
this is a pretty arcane area.

My To-Dos
by John J. McDonough
In an attempt to get more into the open, a report on my to-do items from
two meetings ago, which we didn't get to address last meeting:
* jjmcd to file bug on PRODUCT/PRODVER in Publican
Done - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720656
* jjmcd to check with dgrift on Ubuntu migration / policycoreutils
I was unable to locate the bug related to this, and as a result,
couldn't remember the details I was looking for. Also, didn't
find dgrift on the wiki
* jjmcd to look for a Chem/Physics expert for OLF
Going through my old emails I didn't run across anyone who
looked promising. However, it occurred to me that the
Robotics SIG might be interested in a Robotics Guide.
Emailed the SIG members but so far no response.
Related to OLF, gomix reported to me on IRC that he had contacted his
astrophysicist friend (his to-do from that same meeting). No answer
last I heard.
In other news, I submitted a review request for an R add-on. If anyone
has a burning urge to review a kind of strange RPM it would be
appreciated:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722640
Some of you are aware that I have been chipping away at a Six Sigma
using R tutorial lately. This package hits on a lot of Six Sigma tools.

IIRC, if the original work is licensed so we can make a derivative work,
like we have in the case of the RPM Guide, the person making the derivative
owns the copyright for their work and provides attribution back to the
source.

To be a member of the Docs Project, and by extension have commit access, you
must have signed the contributor agreement and be contributing your work to
the Deepest repositories which makes you a contributor.

Definitely need Spot or Fontana or... to take a look at this.

Joining the Docs project
by Petr Kovar
Hi all,
I've decided to join the fun and participate in the Fedora Documentation
Project. I'm especially interested in contributing to RPM Guide, which
has become quite outdated now but which I and Mr Google consider to be a
still valuable and unique source of information for RPM users and
packagers alike on the net.
I'm also joining the Fedora packagers group as I'll maintain one or two
currently orphaned packages.
Among other things, I already work with jhradilek on the OProfile chapter
in the Deployment Guide.
In the open source community, I've been involved in the docs, i18n and l10n
efforts for several years, particularly in the GNOME Project
(https://live.gnome.org/PetrKovar).
Also, if there are other guys around interested in working on RPM docs,
I'd definitely like to talk to you!
I'm pkovar (or pmkovar) on IRC.
Thanks,

Introduction
by Eliska Slobodova
Hello everyone,
my name is Eliska, eslobodo on IRC. I would like to join this community and contribute to the Fedora Documentation Project. I've already started working on the Printing chapter in the Deployment Guide with jhradile.
This is probably my first time participating in a community project like this, so I'm looking forward to working with you guys :)

I'd like to help with docs
by Larry Cafiero
Hello,
I'm Larry Cafiero and I had been involved with the Fedora Project in
the Ambassadors program from 2008 until recently, when I resigned my
assorted Ambassador positions to take a break. Now that break time is
over, in a manner of speaking, I'd like to return to the Fedora
Project and help out with documentation. I have been a journalist and
newspaper editor for a little over three decades, and I would like to
put these talents to use for the Fedora Project.
Thanks for your consideration.

User Guide: doesn't look like it got updated for 15. This means lots of
work for GNOME 3 needed.
Everything else just checked for current default application names, how to
launch (gnome3 issues) and descriptions.
I will NOT be able to get to it before Aug 30. I *might* be able to *start*
helping that week.
Someone else needs to pick up the lead here!
Here is the checklist and "HowTo" I used for F14 - other than status table
tasks - most should still apply.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Laubersm/Documentation_User_Guide_Upd...
It needs to be polished and turned into a proper doc for docs members.
I know a lot of work was done in that category in the past year... so this
may already be in there for all I know.

The System Administrator's Guide documents relevant information regarding the
