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.

[Heads-Up] Moving repos from fedorahosted.org TO pagure.io
by Corey W Sheldon
Docs Team,
As some of you have heard, within the next year or so
https://fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/ will be phased out in favor of
https://pagure.io/group/fedora-docs. In the updating of things for
F24 install-guide and such the team has decided to start early in
migrating things over to pagure. Current workflow is to move over
repos and request remotes be adjusted on your local forks (this will
be roughly a week of time) then the fedorahosted repos will go R/O
(read only). The goal behind this is not prevent current repos from
breaking but also to alleviate the need for an additional massive sync
later on.
The quick and dirty on how to relocate your remotes:
git remote add new-origin ssh://git@pagure.io/{repo_name}.git
git remote rm origin
git remote rename new-origin origin
Then all future changes will be on the pagure instance and pushes will
also go there.
--- Warm Regards ---

introduction - Ryan
by Ryan Gough
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

Self-Introduction
by Viorel Tabara
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to get this in before today's (Mountain Time) meeting.
I started contributing to Fedora back in February as a member of CommOps.
Since then I've been reading the other groups' mailing lists, outstanding
bugs/easyfix and IRC meeting logs as I was trying to figure out the best I can
help out. I have a technical background, specifically I work as a system
administrator at Athabasca University, keeping up a fleet of RedHat Linux
servers that provide Web services. Relying on good documentation has been
essential in my work so I've learned to appreciate well written guides. And
educating others through well written documentation is just another way to give
back to a great community.
Working with CommOps has helped me learn about Fedora as a community. I took on
a CommOps ticket involving Python development and while I'm learning to get my
Python-fu from hacking someone's code to being a developer I have been looking
around at other things to help with, those that don't require another learning
curve. Once Fedora Alpha was out I jumped right into testing and by the time I
cleared a Seamonkey crash bug the QA folks were done with the Alpha testing :)
And then came the last CommOps meeting, where linuxmodder asked for help with
documentation for sysadmin, security and selinux. I joined Fedora to help, and
if I can help in an efficient way, even better. I keep asking my daughter to
help me out with Gimp but I can Vim. So here I am, reading over the Docs
guides list [1]. Heck, csi-security-guide has no QA contact, wait there are a
lot of 'sign up!'-s!
And to answer the questions:
- What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
I haven't contributed to any writing projects.
- What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I'm familiar with sysadmin tools, version control, Vim as an editor, reST
as a markup language (have been using Sphinx to publish my docs).
- What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface
design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc.
As I mentioned above one thing I'd like to learn while contributing to
Fedora is better Python. Helping out with Docs tools would be something I'm
interested in.
- What makes you an excellent match for the project?
Patience, attention to detail...I really don't know :) I do believe that
writing documentation helps not only the reader but also the writer. I'll
do my best to prove it!
