Orphaning FreeIPA guide
by Martin Kosek 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

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. -- Martin Kosek <mkosek(a)redhat.com> Supervisor, Software Engineering - Identity Management Team Red Hat Inc.

[Heads-Up] Moving repos from fedorahosted.org TO pagure.io
by Corey W Sheldon 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

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 --- Corey Sheldon P: +1 (310) 909 7672 PGP: B54B7228 (keybase) | 5A88E539 (personal) | D2264944 (fedora) https://gist.github.com/linux-modder/ac5dc6fa211315c633c9 Disclaimer: This document, including attachments, is intended for the person(s) named within and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information, and may occasionally include Intellectual Property / Embargoed Content. it is request that all emails regardless of topic or content are regarded in this manner.

introduction - Ryan
by Ryan Gough 27 May '16

27 May '16

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 irc: _terminal_ FAS: t3rm1n4l

Self-Introduction
by Viorel Tabara 09 May '16

09 May '16

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! - GPG KEYID and fingerprint: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Viorel -- Viorel [1]:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_meetings#Guides
