out of topic
by Vivani, Hernán Ignacio
Hi guys, I just wanted to share this note that was published at several
local sites (Argentina), about our company and its successful migration to
Linux (Fedora) process.
This case is not usually seen in our country, and we are very proud of
announce it because were several years of fighting windmills.
Also shows that all the work that you do guys (I am still a newbie), is very
valuable.
This is the note:

Application to group
by Oliver R
Guys/Galls,
I would love to collaborate with the fedora community, After going
through the list of groups I feel that the Fedora Sysadmin Group is
where I fit. I have been working as a system administrator on Linux
servers (CentOS and Fedora) for over seven years now and would love to
give back to the community.
Regards
Oliver Rivas

Naming convention for kickstarts
by Stephen John Smoogen
Ok this may seem silly, but after wading through a bunch of kickstarts
today trying to find out which ones are for what.. could we
standardize on a convention? We have a couple :).
I like this one:
<host type>-<os>-<os-release>-<special>
Examples.
kvm-rhel-5-nfs
xen-rhel-6-nohd
hardware-rhel-5-xenserver
hardware-rhel-5-nohd
Once we have a convention, I can go and rename stuff to meet it (maybe
put the kickstarts under a git tree also?)

Ah yes you are correct and yes I had given it some thought but forgot to
mentioned it there basically gather the feedback in several stages and
make the feedback provided by users public after each stage ( or make it
present on another page but the participant can only comment once per
stage ) to comment on for further feedback ( next stage ) You can add
thumbs up/thumbs down, like/dislike ability to each ones response to
weed out bad responses and continue with good ones but general
discussion about each response be keep out..
I would think a key element while gathering feedback from thousands of
users is to "control the noise" ( which should lead to positive result )
as opposed to be "controlled by the noise" ( which leads to negative
result ) hence a controlled "stage" approach with x period apart would
be effective which cools down all the participant and gives them time to
rationally review the response from others and reply in a constructive
manner on the next "stage".
To simplify/clarify or putting the problem we are faced with in a
different perspective depending how you look at it.
Imagine stuffing thousand of peoples in the same warehouse giving them a
topic to discuss about and at the same time trying to make out and hear
what each of them has to say about the topic.
The answer to that is simple you cant hence the workable approach to
that problem as I see ( simplified version ) is to get everyone to write
down their response which then is gathered and the good responses are
put on the white board and the bad responses on the black board repeat
until you end up with something concrete that everybody likes.
If you have better approach to the problem we are faced with then by all
means share it.
