Self-introduction Kevin Glazenburg / HiddenKnowledge
by Kevin Glazenburg 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, My name is Kevin Glazenburg, I'm 20 years old, born on 16 November 1992. I prefer using my nickname HiddenKnowledge on the internet. I have worked on the Dutch Wikipedia for about a year, but stopped working there because the people there tend to focus more on people doing things wrong than the other way around, other than that it was quite fun. This was from 2009 / 2010. I develop websites / 'solutions' for a job and am pretty good with computers in general. I decided to join the Docs Project because I want to help Fedora and because I want to focus on writing documentation because I want to learn more about it. Kind Regards, Kevin Glazenburg p.s.

Updating Musicians' Guide for Fedora 20
by Christopher Antila 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hello Docs and Audio Creation SIGs: Now that I have a little more time in my life, I'd like to properly update the Musicians' Guide for Fedora 20. Since there are so many possible tasks, and I'm not really the best person to judge what changes would be most useful, I want to include others in the revision-planning process. These broad goals can help focus our efforts: (1) Incorporate changes to software since Fedora 16. (2) Eliminate content present in upstream documentation. This would preserve Fedora-specific information, the sample creative projects, and summaries. (3) Do copyediting to ensure high-quality, low-ambiguity, easily translated text. If we do this, it should be a concerted effort in one place, to minimize the amount of text that requires re-translation. Possible specific tasks: - see what can be removed from Qtractor, referring to upstream docs - include Ardour 3, if it'll be ready during Fedora 20 cycle - use the SuperCollider GUI rather than the GEdit plugin - rationalize the SuperCollider chapter, which is half the guide In addition, I'd like to finish my long-standing goals of changing the specific piece used for the LilyPond piano tutorial, and of using a freely-available recording as the basis for the Qtractor activity. I appreciate any feedback or new tasks, and especially offers to help. In the coming days, I'll start filing these issues on Bugzilla so we can track their progress. Regards, Christopher

Long lines in Docbook sources
by Florian Weimer 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Some Docbook XML files I've seen do not contain line breaks within paragraphs. These long lines are a bit unwieldy in line-based editors and also show up badly in line-based diffs. Is this XML source layout the preferred style, or would it be considered okay to wrap long lines as a separate change before making actual content changes? -- Florian Weimer / Red Hat Product Security Team

Fwd: Fedora 20 Alpha Release Readiness Meeting :: Thursday, Sep. 12, 19:00 UTC
by Pete Travis 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

There is an alpha readiness meeting coming up, see below. Our major role in this process is the Release Notes, the only product we ship on the media. I recently updated the fedora-release-notes package with new content (from the rawhide branch of release notes git iirc). The copy basically conveys "we don't do release notes for such an early prerelease. Fedora is a collaborative project, and prerelease testers are encouraged to contribute their findings to RNs" We certainly will *not* have copy describing the actual release in time; alpha media is already under review. Is a change needed to this copy? Are there other concerns we need to address before declaring Docs ready for alpha? --Pete ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Jaroslav Reznik" <jreznik(a)redhat.com> Date: Sep 9, 2013 5:53 AM Subject: Fedora 20 Alpha Release Readiness Meeting :: Thursday, Sep. 12, 19:00 UTC To: "Fedora Logistics List" <logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Cc: "Jiri Eischmann" <jeischma(a)redhat.com>, <noriko(a)redhat.com>, "Tom Callaway" <tcallawa(a)redhat.com>, "Robyn Bergeron" <rbergero(a)redhat.com>, "Kévin Raymond" <shaiton(a)fedoraproject.org>, "Mairin Duffy" < duffy(a)redhat.com>, "Dennis Gilmore" <dgilmore(a)redhat.com>, "Ruth Suehle" < rsuehle(a)redhat.com>, <immanetize(a)fedoraproject.org>, "Petr Schindler" < pschindl(a)redhat.com>, "Ryan Lerch" <rlerch(a)redhat.com> > Fedora 20 Alpha Release Readiness Meeting. > > date: 2013-09-12 > place: irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 > time: 19:00 UTC (3 PM EDT, 12 PM PDT, 21:00 CEST) > > This Thursday, September 12, we will meet to make sure we are coordinated > and ready for the Alpha release of Fedora 20 on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. > Please note that this meeting will occur on April 12 *even if the release > is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two hours earlier.* > > This meeting works best when we have representatives from all of the > teams, so we'll be looking for the following people to attend or send a > representative in their place.
