updating func and certmaster on puppet1
by Seth Vidal
Hey folks,
I've got a new bug-fix and feature-improving test pkg of func and
certmaster. I'd like to try it out on puppet1. It's fully reversible -
I'll just put the old pkgs back if it breaks things. But I don't think
it will break things.
so... - can I get 2 +1's to doing it?
thanks,
-sv

Introduction - jpattonwx
by Jason Patton
Greetings to you, Fedora Infrastructure Team!
My name is Jason, and I am a graduate student at Iowa State University
working on my PhD in agricultural meteorology. My enthusiasm for
certain aspects of a purely academic career has waned, though, which
is part of what brings me here. Over the last few months, I have
started exploring a few other careers which I might enjoy while being
comfortable learning the new skills required, and I have found systems
administration to be most intriguing. In trying to find some
experience beyond mucking about with my own home network, I messaged a
fellow here at ISU (who happens to be a Fedora Campus Ambassador).
Checking out the Infrastructure group here was one of his suggestions,
and so here I am.
My experience with Fedora itself is fairly short, only going back to
F10. However, my Linux experience extends back to 2004 when I arrived
at ISU (a RHEL subscribing campus) as an undergrad in the meteorology
department, which primarily uses RHEL in its labs.
Administration-wise, my only semi-real experience so far has been
building a one-off (yeah, I know) system for our research group. Its
functions are to scrape an ESA FTP server every hour for new satellite
data, organize the data so that it can be read by a particular Matlab
API (for the other researchers in our group), and push some converted
data to our mesonet site (run our department's actual sysadmin) for
display on the web. While it's not much, it has given me experience
learning and setting up RAID, writing bash and python scripts, using
cron, and maintaining applications in a production(ish) environment.
What I can mainly bring to this group is an eagerness to learn. The
main reason why I find sysadmin work interesting is because of the
opportunity to learn (and use!) something new every day. However, I do
hope that my python, bash, etc. skills are enough to be able to
contribute in some small ways early on. And I hope to be a part of
this project and contribute for a long time... the Fedora Project (and
FOSS in general) is too important to just stop by, pick up some
skills, and then head off into the desert.
Please let me know how I may be able to help you. I'll be in
#fedora-admin under username jpattonwx (also my FAS username). I can
easily commit an hour or two every weekday afternoon or evening to
this project.
Thank you!

Second rounds of lists clean-up
by Andrea Veri
hey guys,
I've just finished tracking down inactive lists et all on
collab01.
The list can be found at [1].
Will wait 14 days from now and then clean-up the really
inactive lists.
I've used the following policy to avoid any problem:
Lists with messages older than January 2011 or with no messages at all,
will receive a mail from me asking if they still think their list is active or will
be so in the near future. If no mails will be sent back to me within 14
days from today the list will be closed using the procedure explained above.
(lists can be re-opened at any time later)
Obviously the above didnt apply to the summer-coding lists that are inactive
now since september for a valid motivation.
Wow, it's finally done, it was a never-ending list!
cheers!
Andrea

Evening Fedora Infrastructure,
My name's Ed, and I work as a 3rd Line Engineer in Enterprise
support up in Newcastle, Great Britain. I've been using Linux
(Arch and Fedora) since 2005, and FreeBSD (casually) for a few
years before that. I feel I can help out with any jobs you've
got going on and definately learn a lot whilst doing it, as
most of my Linux experience is in the home environment (unless
you count Solaris or VMWare ESX!).
Relevent skills and experience:
- - NetApp storage systems
- - Virtualization (mainly VMWare)
- - regular sysadmin stuff (DNS, user & resource management, etc)
I'm hoping I can build on the basics I already know with you
guys and become a useful member of the team.
I should be able to set aside maybe 10hrs a week to work on
issues if you think you can utilize me.
Thanks,
Ed

Certainly. That would probably mean you haven't applied or been added
to the 'cmseditors' group in the real FAS, although you might have
been in the fake FAS instance. I can take care of that.

[Insight] [IMPORTANT] Staging on insight.stg.fp.o now uses REAL FAS
by Paul W. Frields
Hi all,
According to Toshio, we are OK to start authenticating on the staging
instance (https://insight.stg.fedoraproject.org) to real FAS. I've
made the appropriate changes:
* Pointed the AuthFAS module at admin.fp.o/accounts
(In staging, there is magic that makes this actually resolve to
admin.stg.fp.o -- so when we move to production it will simply keep
working properly using the real admin.fp.o)
* Turned OFF the "trust invalid SSL certs" option.
This means if something goes wrong with the SSL certs on the FAS
server, we'll know about it. Of course, many other apps will make
sure other people know about it, so this isn't a problem, just
providing this info for the sake of being complete. :-)
So -- to reiterate, when you login to insight.stg.fp.o, you will use
your REAL FAS account information, and it should be secured via HTTPS
to the best of everyone's knowledge.
The publictest09 server continues to use FakeFAS. Our development
there will most likely be piecemeal now, and we'll discuss that next
week at our regular meeting.
