Travel, meetings, and vacation
by Toshio Kuratomi
Hey guys,
I'm travelling to Boston next week to work on architecture design for
our web applications until FudCon. So I'll be in a plane most of Tue,
Jun 10 and then somewhat less available to pick up random tasks that
need to be done until June 22 (still be around, just concentrating
mostly on web app hacking with J5, lmacken, rnorwood, etc).
After FudCon I'll be taking a vacation from June 23 - July 1 with
relatives in Vermont so I won't be getting anything done for that week
and a half.

Hey everyone,
I currently work at Red Hat as a SysAdmin for internal systems...I
started at RH in 2006 at the internal Help Desk and switched over to the
SA job this past January. I'm interested in SELinux, mail admin, general
storage, and really anything else that might need to be done. I'm honest
about what I know and what I don't..Google and I get along quite well
and talk several times a day :). I'm looking forward to getting my
hands dirty and helping out where I can.
Thanks,
Jake

08:06 < G> dgilmore: I thought db3 was on backorder?
08:07 < abadger1999> db3 is on backorder unfortunately.
08:07 < abadger1999> so we don't gt to migrate to it just yet.
08:07 < G> I think there was two other servers Mike said were on backorder
08:07 < dgilmore> oh it was one of those boxes

08:08 * mmcgrath is about
08:08 < dgilmore> hey mmcgrath
08:08 < G> jcollie had suggested a private git repo for this which
doesn't seem to be a bad idea, but you can't really chgrp in a git repo
from memory
08:08 < dgilmore> talking about the posting sysadmin contact info
08:09 < G> someone (i think Mike) then suggested plain ol' sshfs
08:11 < dgilmore> i like the idea of being able to contact people as needed
08:11 < dgilmore> someone want to own this?
08:11 < G> I'd be interested in helping working an a solution
08:12 < dgilmore> come up with a good solution
08:12 < G> although I'm technically busy the week of 16th-20th so it
mightn't be in a week or two (esp with elections coming up)
08:12 < dgilmore> :) i think thats ok
08:13 < dgilmore> G: speaking of elections how is the app coming along?
08:13 < G> Not too bad, the testing turnout is lower than expected, but
I've fixed a few bugs, but it'd be nice if a few more could have a poke
08:14 < G> Just trying to get the UI looking a bit better and we'd be ready
08:14 < dgilmore> awesome
08:15 < G> First election starts Friday 13 (Bad luck eh?) so I'll look
at getting it onthe app servers & ready around the 10th, I'll poke Mike
etc a few days before to get that all sorted out
08:15 < dgilmore> cool
08:15 < dgilmore> anything you need to help make it work?
08:15 < G> (Thats the board election by the way)
08:16 < G> Testing and maybe someone to help with UI
08:16 < G> http://nigelj.livejournal.com/2856.html has the testing details
08:17 < G> (I sent an e-mail to fedora-websites-list last night to see
if anyone would mind helping with UI)
08:17 < dgilmore> great well if you need anything else ask away
08:17 -!- jwb is now known as jwb_gone
08:17 < G> Will do
08:18 < dgilmore> Does anyone have any questions? something they want
to comment on?
08:18 < dgilmore> or are we all asleep
08:18 < G> Wiki matters maybe?
08:19 < dgilmore> sure
08:19 < G> most of the requests are fairly trivial but there is one to
setup an interwiki link for Bugzilla which gets a +1 from me
08:20 < G> That requires DB access
08:20 < dgilmore> what kind of db access?
08:20 < G> The other is a request from QA to setup a special namespace
QA: vs QA/ for Test cases
08:20 < G> just one off write to configure the iwlink

https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/591
08:23 < G> QA namespace seems appropriate for the reasons mentioned in
the ticket, I'm just concerned about number of test cases ending up in
the "low thousands" and if they'd be better on a CMS or something
08:23 < dgilmore> G: how would the bug one work? when you put bug:
<number> it then knows to send it to bugzilla?
08:24 < dgilmore> QA i think its fine
08:24 < G> If i put [[bug:123456]] upon clicking it would send the user
to bug 123456 on BZ

08:24 < buggbot> G: Error: "ahhh" is not a valid command.
08:25 < harrisony> hahaha
08:25 < G> dgilmore: so +1 on QA namespace?
08:25 < dgilmore> G: i think its reasonable. id get input from skvidal
and mmcgrath and if they dont object make it so
08:26 * skvidal looks up
08:26 < G> wwoods: is this still what you want? (QA Namespace)
08:26 < abadger1999> is there value in having interwiki links to other
bug trackers?
08:26 < G> I can't do the interwiki one, I don't have access to the db
08:26 < dgilmore> skvidal: making a small db change for mediawiki to
make linking tobugs easier
08:26 < skvidal> abadger1999: in some of the project pages I'm sure
there will be
08:26 < skvidal> abadger1999: ie: gnome, fd.o
08:26 < G> abadger1999: potentially, Gnome & KDE are good ones
08:26 < abadger1999> [[b.r.c:1234567]] goes to bugzilla.redhat.com
08:27 < G> Freedesktop too
08:27 < G> rhbug gnomebug kdebug fdobug
08:27 < abadger1999> <nod>
08:28 < abadger1999> Sounds good to do that.
08:28 < G> in that case, I'll get the sql worked out and poke someone to
throw it in the db :)
08:28 < dgilmore> G: ok, abadger1999 or I can do it
08:29 < G> sounds good
08:29 < wwoods> QA namespace - we may not end up putting test cases in
the wiki
08:29 < dgilmore> wwoods: so put that request on hold until you get back
to us?
08:30 < wwoods> RH QE folks want to have a Testopia instance up before
FUDCon, and Testopia does its own test case management
08:30 < wwoods> so, yeah, put that one on hold
08:30 < G> sounds fine by me :)
08:30 < G> .ticket 598
08:30 < zodbot> G: #598 (wiki: create mailinglist for all notifications)
- Fedora Infrastructure - Trac -
https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/598
08:30 < wwoods> We're still discussing whether the test cases will be
kept in testopia or in the wiki
08:30 < wwoods> I'll let you know when we come to a decision
08:31 < G> is the last bit of wiki stuff that I saw, something like
'fedora-wiki-changes' list
08:31 < G> wwoods: sure, thanks
08:33 < dgilmore> G: seems reasonable. can we add better notification
support to mediawiki?
08:34 < G> well the watch lists are user customizable and were never
really designed to be a regexp thing, so a blanket mailing list like
this could be good with topics to filter what people want
08:34 < G> Unsure if there is a solution better than that though
08:35 < dgilmore> ok. maybe we ca look at adding a regexp type thing
08:35 < dgilmore> anyway wiki seems to be a hit so far
08:36 < G> Yeah, just wish people would put userpages & subpages in
User:Fasname etc
08:36 * dgilmore doesnt understand how mediawiki works

Infrastructure - Trac -
https://fedorahosted.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/604
08:36 < jbrothers> i just added this ticket
08:37 < jbrothers> don't know if there is a mediawiki syntax for this
kind of thing
08:37 < G> jbrothers: thats something that will fixed overtime, we'd
already done a bit of work, some pages just havn't had the same level of
TLC from contributors and the docs team
08:37 < jcollie> jbrothers: that's deliberate
08:37 < dgilmore> G: people will need to be educated in the way of
mediawiki. me included
08:37 < G> dgilmore: yep maybe a Wiki Education session at FUDcon is
needed :P *ducks*
08:38 < dgilmore> G: perhaps
08:39 < G> But thats all from me about the wiki and everything
08:39 < dgilmore> :) thanks
08:39 -!- dgilmore changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Infra
meeting: open discussion
08:40 < G> mmcgrath: so, are the blades happy now?
08:40 < dgilmore> anyone have anything else to talk about
08:41 < G> dgilmore: nothing here, I was going to talk about the
elections app but we already did :)
08:42 < dgilmore> alrighty well if no one has anything to add. ill wrap
up in 60
08:43 < dgilmore> 30
08:43 < dgilmore> its a wrap. thanks ya'll

The participants for the upcoming FESCo/Board meeting
Expiration/Delivery Date (required):
Delivery Date: ASAP, the meet date is June 9th, at 3:30pm
Expiration Date: I guess some time after the meeting, but
it might be nice to keep the server up and running to
see if people actual use it..
Description/Summary:
Set up a Jabber server for an upcoming FESCo/Board meeting
Project plan (Detailed):
For an upcoming FESCo/Board meeting I would like to set up Jabber server
to allow participants of the meeting to used a virtual WhiteBoard?.
I've done some local testing of both the whiteboard-sharing Jabber client Coccinella and the Openfire Jabber server. The software seems to work fairly well so I would like to make the Jabber server publicly accessible.
The three packages, above and by a "normal" F9 server configuration, that were needed were: java-1.6.0-openjdk, mysql-5.0.51a-1 and openfire-3.5.1-1.i386. Openfire was downloaded from: http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads)
Note the meeting is schedule for: June 9th, at 3:30pm
Goals: To be be done on time and to be useful...
Specific resources needed

Request for xen guest for a Testopia proof-of-concept
by David Malcolm
Testopia (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/testopia/) is an extension of
Bugzilla (http://www.bugzilla.org/) that adds test-case management,
allowing test plans and result reporting to be integrated into the
Bugzilla web UI.
I'm looking to set up a proof of concept deployment of Testopia for
Fedora. The idea is to experiment with managing installation testing
via this, to see if it works better than using the wiki. There are
various XML-RPC hooks it supports that might help with automating some
of our testing.
It patches the core of Bugzilla, and hence has to be built as part of
the core package, rather than a separate srpm. I've submitted a
testopia package for review as bug 450013.
We wouldn't be using the bug-tracking capabilities of it; instead treat
the bz nature of it as simply the libraries/modules that form the
run-time environment.
For now I'd like a virtual machine as a playground for setting this up.
RHEL5.2 OS, 1 gig memory, and 10 gig of disk space would probably be
adequate for now.
I have no idea what the resource constraints are like for Fedora, so if
this is unreasonable then please say so.
Hope this makes sense; how does this sound?

PHX outage
by Mike McGrath
I'm not going to send a full outage notification out about this one
because its only going to be a two minute outage. We basically need to
reboot the switch in PHX. We'll be doing it in a few hours, hopefully
people won't notice too much.

python-fedora: Refactoring of variable and parameter names
by Toshio Kuratomi
With some prompting from lmacken, I've just committed the attached patch
to python-fedora-devel. This brings the names of variables used in
python-fedora into conformance with PEP8. However, it does cause
breakage in public instance and class variables as well as the parameter
names. Since this is destined for 0.3 which has incompatible changes,
this is the time for these changes.
If this is considered too much of a problem to port apps to for a
cosmetic change, please holler now so we can revert before too many
other changes accumulate on top of this.
Also note, I've started compiling a list of incompatibilities between
0.2.99.11.1 and what will be 0.3. These are listed below and will be
replicated in the NEWS file shortly.
* Removal of camelCase. Rename keyword arguments and public instance
variables:
* client.BaseClient
*Note* that changes to this class propogate out to the same variable in
derived classes like fas2.AccountSystem and the BaseClient used in
JsonFasIdentity.
* __init__(): baseURL => base_url
* _sessionCookie => _session_cookie: this is a private variable but
some
users use this anyway. For users needing to access this, there's now
a more appropriate class for doing so (ProxyClass).
* accounts.fas2.AccountSystem
* group_by_id(): groupId => group_id
* person_by_id(): personId => person_id
* tg.widgets
* All widgets had widgetId => widget_id
* Also means accessing the variable is done via self.widget_id
* tg.json.SABase
* self.jsonProps => self.json_props
* BaseClient.send_request() has keyword argument input renamed to req_params
* Restructuring of Exceptions in BaseClient
* New base exception is FedoraServiceError if you want to catch that.
* Rename accounts.fas2.AccountSystem.authenticate() to verify_password()
