zodbot minor issue
by Jon Stanley
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
:)

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. If you wanna check it out, visit http://oks.kicks-ass.net/~onekopaka/blog/
.
So yep. That's pretty much my intro email...

[Request for Resources] Global ambassadors map.
by susmit shannigrahi
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_locatio...
(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.

Some ongoing issues
by Mike McGrath
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.

package category "new-package" for fedora-package-announce
by David Juran
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?

Review request for hosting mapping applications.
by susmit shannigrahi
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.

Calendaring idea
by John Poelstra
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.

logistics list
by John Poelstra
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.
