Orphaning FreeIPA guide
by Martin Kosek
Hello all,
FreeIPA project is already for some time without sufficient resources to revive
and maintain our former long upstream user guide. We did not find enough
manpower either in FreeIPA developer nor our users community, so we decided to
stop maintaining it.
Detailed justification including links to mail threads in:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Upstream_User_Guide
I would like to avoid leaving any loose ends on Fedora Documentation project
side, do you have any recommendation for us? I already closed respective
Bugzillas and upstream Trac tickets with explanation. Should we also orphan the
guide in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_meetings#Guides
or on any other locations? For starters, I think we should close the
"freeipa-guide" component of "Fedora Documentation" as nobody from our team
would be responding there.
Thanks for any advise.

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking at getting involved in the project as I have been a long
time user of Fedora (e.g. since Core 1) and would like to start
contributing. My name is Ryan, I'm from Western Australia (GMT+8). I
am an IT technician and have been using linux as a hobby since 2k4
(using RH9). I have also had the opportunity to work with RHEL in my
job during a project as well as having worked with a couple of other
distros. In my line of work I have often needed to produce
documentation to a professional standard and I feel I can contribute
this way currently. I believe I should be able to contribute 4 hours a
week at this point in time.
Regards,
Ryan

Re: Fedora website & docs site feedback

+Fedora-docs list
Ian,
Your experience is a lot of the motivation behind the work the fedora-docs folks are doing to fix onboarding, editing, and building of docs. Unfortunately it is slow work, but it is important. If you'd like to help, please join us on the docs list (docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org) and at our IRC meetings on Mondays from 14:00:00 to 15:00:00 UTC at fedora-meeting(a)irc.freenode.net .
regards,
bex

Introduction!

Hello there,
I just joined the list and I'm excited about being able to contribute to Fedora's documentation! Kushal Das pointed me in this direction after I did some writing about systemd-networkd.
I work on all things virtualization and OpenStack at Rackspace and I write regularly for our company blog and my personal blog[1]. I enjoy writing more comprehensive, functional documentation that shows people how to connect a few different technologies or tools to accomplish something. As an example, I've written some things around systemd-networkd that helps users make sense of the disparate systemd documentation on freedesktop.org. I'd like to do more of this formally for Fedora if possible.
As far as more formal writing goes, I've recently completed a peer-reviewed research paper about Linux container security[2]. This is really fun for me, too.
I'll be in the 5PM session here at Flock today to learn more about how I can contribute!

The effect of taking epi-genetics to a new level of regulating whether or not a person or cellular aspects of the persons biology could be reversed from apoptose apoptosis death to a fully functioning cellular characteristic with meiosis and mitosis included in the replication and duplication of cells to get to certain stages of life animation reanimation and functionality

The adaptation of the longevity of the cat could be applied to human studies as well for the longevity a few months the adaptation of disease states in the cat being cancerous to that cat could be related to cancer is in humans disease studies regulating E. coli disease studies regulating cancers in cats as opposed to cancers in humans and the adaptation of medications of studies to correct sequences of events that take place to provide apoptosis to cats of the male species a calico preventing them from being born with the regulation of those activities come be finding out of new applications to prevent disease add to prevent premature death in humans
