MIA spins
by Paul W. Frields 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Despite a posting to the lists earlier in the month[1] to check our spin content, apparently no one caught the fact that there was no Moblin spin among the release candidates. At this point, we're going to have to wait for mirrors to die down before we can consider shipping a late copy. I went to the Spins process page[2] to see where things might have gone off track, and found that the page stated that after acceptance the following step occurs: "Spin added to a wiki page containing a table listing all of the spins for Fedora X (very similar to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList)" Note that no one is responsible or accountable for it happening according to the spin page, nor is the proper page listed. I made a change, so now the step reads: "The Spins Wrangler adds the Spin to a wiki page containing a table listing all of the spins for Fedora 14 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/Spins)" This change is not a decree by any means, but it seemed like the most effective way to ensure entries get made. I can't help but think we would have caught this problem if there were regular Spins meetings, or at least schedule items that indicate the SIG should carry out a task like checking the list of Spins before RC phase. Earlier, I brought up the idea of entering a set of schedule items. Ideally, someone on the SIG will step up to gather that list of dates for Fedora 14, and talk to John Poelstra to make sure the dates get on the release schedule. I'd also like to make sure we have a clear spins wrangler who knows the responsibilities that come with that role. That person should check over the spins process page[2] and find any places where it's not clear what the task is, and who is responsible for doing it. So -- who wants to gather the schedule and report it to John Poelstra by around June 1? Who is the current spins wrangler, and can that person go over the page by around the same time, and bring questions to the list? * * * [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2010-May/001131.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Process -- Paul W.

Hello there
by Chris Jones 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I am new to the project. I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Chris Jones (as you've probably already noticed). I've been using Linux for many years now and in particular Ubuntu and Fedora. My job as a Photographic Imaging Professional and Graphic Designer obviously involves me with lots of digital imaging software applications. I use both Windows and Linux platforms and many software titles on both. I dabbled with the idea of getting involved in the development of Ubuntu Studio but the lack of insight into the "Graphic" side of it put me off. It's marketed as a suite for graphic, audio and video enthusiasts, but the developers simply don't wish to develop the graphic side of it anymore than what is current and wish to focus on the audio/video side. When the opportunity came around to jump on board with the Fedora Design Suite, I took it. I hope that I can bring something worthy to the project.

Co-maintaining the Design Suite
by Pierros Papadeas 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi all My name is Pierros Papadeas [1]. Some of you might know me from the Ambassadors' Project and from the L10n Project. Moreover I am studying Architecture so I have great interest in Design tools and Graphics Software. I am happy to announce that I am willing to take over the maintaining of the Design Suite [2] from Sebastian [3] (due to his lack of time). Sebastian was kind enough to offer me any help and advise needed to complete this task and stand on my own. I am in contact with him to make sure I have all the knowledge needed. I am very excited about this and want to thank Sebastian for this opportunity :) So.. see ya around! ~π [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Pierros_Papadeas [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design_Suite [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sdz -- Pierros Papadeas PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode

spins trac use
by Bruno Wolff III 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

At today's spins meeting we discussed using trac for keeping track of some of our issues. I checked and spin-kickstarts does have a trac instance and it got a bit of use in the past, but nothing very recently. I'll note something about this on the spins page.

No special live images for F14 alpha/beta
by Bruno Wolff III 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

We (spins sig) think that the costs of doing separate frozen live images for the alpha and beta doesn't provide much benefit in addition to the nightly composes and do not want to do special images again (we ended up not doing them without a lot of discussion for F13) for F14.
