by Jon Stanley 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

There's a minor issue with the supybot-based config of MeetBot. Until it can be resolved, it's important that zodbot be started with it's cwd in /srv/web/meetbot. Weird, yes. But effective at making it work :)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello f-i-l! If you're on the websites team, you may know me already, and if you're in #fedora-admin frequently on freenode you might also know me. So, I'm 14 years old (might be scary for some of you to find out), and I'm mostly working with the Fedora infrastructure to work on a new project for Fedora, blogs.fedoraproject.org. In my defense for working on blogs, is I run my own blog on my own server (right out of the WordPress svn tree!), and it's fairly successful.

[Request for Resources] Global ambassadors map.
by susmit shannigrahi 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, Here is the details for the RFR of global ambassadors map project. I have also updated the ticket #1514. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Sponsor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Susmit Shannigrahi Fedora Account Name: susmit Group: Ambassadors Infrastructure Sponsor: None so far. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secondary Contact info ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Joerg Simon Fedora Account Name: jsimon Group: Ambassadors ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Info: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Name: Global Ambassadors map. Target Audience: Anyone needing any info about fp.o. Inside and outside fp.o. Expiration/Delivery Date (required): As soon as possible. :) Description/Summary: Mapping app extracting location info of Ambassadors and put it on a map, along with necessary contact information. Project plan (Detailed): Ambassadors are interface between the project and the people. So, whenever wants to know something about fedora, he/she cantacts an ambassador. So far, this has been a tedious process of searching through a number of user pages to know who is the nearest ambassador to contact. This map will enable anyone to locate the location of an ambassador and/or the nearest one whom to ask help for. This can be extended for all other sub projects too. Goals: , nothing to add. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specific resources needed: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Hosting of https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/ambassadors_map/ambassadors.html 2. Hosting of https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/ambassadors_map/ambassadors_location.… (contains data for the map) 3. Hosting and putting into cron this python script https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/membership-map.py. Also, automated authentication using dummy fas account to get location data from fas. 4.Preferably Puppet managed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Info (Optional) : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A test instance is here: http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/amb_map/ambassadors.html Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Some ongoing issues
by Mike McGrath 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

So we've got some ongoing issues in our environment right now. Some of them are unrelated. All are being worked on but one in particular I want to discuss on the list here because I just don't know what changed. The problem: When one of the fas servers goes offline, most of our other apps get taken offline. The way it is supposed to work: When one of our fas servers goes offline, haproxy takes it out of the farm and sends all requests to the still online fas server. Thus, possibly, generating a few errors for a short time but generally goes un-noticed. The details: When one of the fas servers goes offline, haproxy is hanging on that connection. The application servers hang or possibly try to re-use connections to fas, thus causing the number of httpd processes to sky rocket on the app servers. Ultimately hitting MaxClients and taking everything offline. This happens fairly quickly, matter of seconds. It seems that even after haproxy flags the fas server as dead (takes about 15s), that any connections open at that time to the old server aren't killed. They just hang. Outstanding questions: What changed? Does python-fedora (our primary interface to fas) now do something differently with keepalive? Anyone else using haproxy seeing this same issue? I've got redispatch enabled still. -Mike

package category "new-package" for fedora-package-announce
by David Juran 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello! Would it be possible to add a new category for new packages to the fedora-package-announce list? I'm interested in seeing what new packages are released to Fedora but I don't have the time/patience to wade through the full bulk of the fedora-package-announce list. So in the same way that there currently exists a category for security updates, would it be possible to implement a category for new packages? -- David Juran Sr. Consultant Red Hat +358-504-146348

Review request for hosting mapping applications.
by susmit shannigrahi 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hi, I have just created a test instance for clickable map here: http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/amb_map/ambassadors.html A script takes out lat/long data (which is not private according to privacy policy) from FAS and generates this map. I have used openlayers for this purpose, and as far as I have checked, all the components used are fedora compatibly licensed. The directory (/srv/web/amb_map) contains a javascript file, openlayers.js. Please check this for discrepancies, if any. Another thing, I can see all the markers have shifted 3 degrees east and 1 degree south. Can anyone please help in correcting this? Any help in this regard will be very nice to have. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Calendaring idea
by John Poelstra 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Here is a really successful project from where I live that Fedora might benefit from. http://calagator.org/ http://code.google.com/p/calagator/ It is different from the traditional "calendaring/Outlook" type solution that has been under discussion, but it is extremely easy for people to add events to and for others to query and get updates from (RSS and ical feeds). Maybe it would be useful for a small segment of our project like weekly team meetings. It could also be used on much larger scale for Fedora events around the world. John

logistics list
by John Poelstra 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

The logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org mailing list has been created to meet the requirements discussed here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-July/msg00000.html Anyone is welcome to join the list at: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics and participants are strongly encouraged to use it only for important topics that need to be coordinated across teams. I have also take the liberty to sign up leads from each the teams that attended the Fedora 11 Release Readiness meetings (assuming they will be the same for Fedora 12) as well as the people who have expressed an interest in helping with or learning more about the Fedora Zikula CMS implementation. Feel free to adjust things by adding or removing yourself. John

Suggestions required for generating Ambassadors map.
by susmit shannigrahi 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

Hi, Taking forward the previous work of automating the ambassadors list, I just committed a new scrip[1] into fama trac. This will extract the location data from the fas and generate a text (or whatever) file, which can be used to generate ambassadors map. A proof of concept map using google map (I know its not free and can not be used for our purpose) is here. [2] Warning: This may take a bit time to render. The problem being, which mapping software should we use? 1. Google map - non free. 2. Shomyu - Bochecha (the creator) does not seem to like the idea of using this for the particular purpose. 3. OSM - Does not have a nice api for creating a standalone map. I am out of my ideas about the mapping app, please suggest. Thanks.

pkgdb -> bugzilla sync broken?
by Michael Schwendt 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

How often is bugzilla.redhat.com updated with changes in Fedora pkgdb? It has yet to sync the audacious* ownership changes from June 29th. Perhaps it's broken? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora
