network time default, f23
by Chris Murphy 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Short version: network time is not enabled in a default installation of Fedora 23 Server, using Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-23_Beta_TC1.iso. - Is this intended? - What is the user expected to do? It's not obvious. Long version: chrony is not installed, meanwhile it's installed and the default on workstation. Right off the bat it's confusing that server and workstation will use different services for time synchronization. ntp and ntpdate are installed, but both are disabled, and I don't even know what ntpdate is. systemd-timedated.service is masked. systemd-timesyncd.service is disabled. dbus-org.freedesktop.timedate1.service is enabled, which apparently just points to timedatex.service Based on searching the journal, nothing is looking out to an ntp server to set the date and time correctly. If I set the hardware clock wrong (by a year) in firmware setup, it never gets corrected. # timedatectl Local time: Fri 2013-08-30 23:32:34 MDT Universal time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34 UTC RTC time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34 Time zone: America/Denver (MDT, -0600) Network time on: no NTP synchronized: no RTC in local TZ: no # systemctl enable ntpd # systemctl start ntpd Fixes this, but it seems like something should be enabled by default. -- Chris Murphy

Update on getfedora.org/server
by Máirín Duffy 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hi, I pushed the text changes we discussed at today's meeting to the f23-alpha branch of fedora-web: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedora-web.git/commit/?h=f23-alpha&id=c9e… I also emailed John Unland regarding the proposed edit to his quote for a bit more clarity around docker and roles. ~m

Is the text on for the server product on getfedora.org OK?
by Ankur Sinha 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hiya! We were recently discussing what marketing collateral we should have for the different products[1]. To paraphrase the rather long thread, the design and marketing teams have suggested that we have a timeless flyer for each product. ("Timeless" implying that the flyer will not be release specific and will not be updated per release). As part of this, we'd like the product WGs to please go over the text on getfedora.org and see if the text is OK or if they'd like to update it before F23. The idea here is to keep the text on the websites and the flyers in sync for a better, more uniform marketing system. Could this rather tiny task please be put on the WG's agenda? I'll file trac tickets if required :) [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2015-July/0177 45.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Marketing_Collateral _Ideas#Plan.3F -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha

Rescheduling this weeks Blocker review meeting
by Mike Ruckman 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hey all, It seems the lack of sleep from Flock caught up with me Sunday night and I didn't wake up in time to run the blocker review scheduled for Monday morning. We currently have 6/7 proposed blockers for Beta and Final, so I think it will still be good to have a Blocker review this week. Does this Thursday (2015-08-20) at 16:00 UTC work for people? If there's a better time, please respond to the test list and we can find a better window to run the review. Thanks! Mike Ruckman
