Ask Fedora being badgered by spam
by Ankur Sinha 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Hi, Of late, Ask Fedora is being badgered by spam. They seem to open multiple accounts and post as many as 50 spam questions at a time. Is there something we can do to tackle this? For the time being, we're manually blocking the user and deleting each question one by one. It's a lot of work and one needs to keep an eye out on the forum all the time. I've asked upstream a question here: http://askbot.org/en/question/12506/how-do-i-mass-delete-all-questions-from… This is a work around to clean up the mess. Can we do something to avoid it altogether? I've asked upstream another question: http://askbot.org/en/question/12507/alternatives-to-akismet/ -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora! Come talk to us! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Join_SIG

Linux Administration experience
by Tony Ponce 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hello, My name is Tony. I am a student at FHTC technical college in Emporia, KS. I stumbled upon your project through the internet and I was interested in the fact that I could gain experience by volunteering. I have just completed two courses here at the tech college, Linux Administration 1 and Linux Administration 2. Both of these courses are part of the Network Technology program at FHTC. I am interested in pursuing my career in this field, however I have read many posts about the fact the employers will not hire without experience and this I think is where Fedora comes in. Can you please guide me in the right direction in pursuing my career in Linux Administration? Thank you for your time, Tony

Plan of work for Copr signing
by Miroslav Suchý 30 May '14

30 May '14

FYI - this is my schedule of work needed to sign packages in Copr: Hardware: ========= Next visit in PHX is planned on June/July. Next one is January of 2015. Ideal (and most paranoid) setup would require one physical machine for Signing server and one for copr-backend and one wire between them. With no remote access to signing server. But we have not HW for this. What we can have is have signing machine in VM with restrictive SW defined network. If that VM can be only one VM on host, then it would be great. To set up VM and networking and create ansible manifest, can take up to one week. Software: ========= I would go the obs-sign way. It would require to get one patch into GPG2. Patch is made by SuSe, but does not live in upstream. TMraz (RH packager) preliminary approved this patch, but have few comments, which would need to be address (name of cmd option, no man page...). Then I will try to get it in upstream, but there is risc of rejecting. But TMraz is willing to accept it as patch into Fedora and RH package. This is backup plan. (1.5 week to work on patch, 1 w for communitation with upstream or tmraz) JStribrny promised to re-package obs-sign. (0.5w) We should enhance documentation of obs-sign and likely write HOWTO for deployment. (0.75w) We need to deploy and configure obs-sign on VM. (0.75w) Mutatis mutandis of Copr (1w). Sum it up (5.5 week) Total = 6.5 weeks -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCE, RHCDS Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys

Sorry for any bounceback emails, my email was down but its back now
by Chris A. Roberts 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hey Everyone, Sorry if anyone got any bounceback emails from my email address. The place I had my email server hosted went down for 3 days, then everything got corrupted which took 2 days to get up and running. After another week of going back and forth trying to get the custom ISO images loaded up, I finally moved my email server (zimbra) over to where I have the rest of everything else hosted. Some stuff is slowly starting to come back in, but I am sure I missed out on some important stuff. If anyone would be kind to forward me anything that is of importance so I can catch up. I have been reading the archives but its always nice to have a hard copy. Thanks, Chris Roberts (croberts on irc) Fedora Marketing/Websites/Infrastructure
