Fedora 12 Web Team Schedule
by John Poelstra
I have built the Fedora 12 Web Schedule using the same methodology from
Fedora 11.
Please tell me what needs to be corrected, added, or changed by
referencing the task number here:
--> http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-web-tasks.html
And if that wasn't enough, I'm also generating iCal files for this
release that are team specific. So pop this into to your favorite
calendar application and tell me which additional tasks you'd like to
see or have removed. To keep the presentation clean it only includes
the more important tasks/milestones.
--> http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-web.ics
I believe someone was asking for iCal files on this list during Fedora
11. Schedules for other teams are also available here (look for file
names ending in .ics): http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/
It would be most helpful to get your feedback as soon as possible. If I
don't hear anything by Friday I will assume these are done.
Thank you,
John

self introduction - Neil Mann
by Neil Mann
Howdy all,
I am an entry-level developer looking for opportunities to learn and
expand my skills and abilities. I am not one to do well in the area of
design, but am more interested in the
development/administrative/maintenance end of things. I currently have
only one website that I maintain, and am looking for something to get
involved with to gain experience.
I have a good handle on HTML and CSS
I have recently jumped into WordPress and am working with PHP and
MySQL; trying to learn these items and how to custom build/maintain
sites with such.
I am looking forward to working with fedora and hope there are some
tasks the I could help out with.
-Neil
P.S. if it makes any difference, I live in the U.S. and speak/write
fluent English

Meeting Log - 2009-07-17
by Ricky Zhou
17:00 < ricky> #startmeeting
17:00 < zodbot> Meeting started Fri Jul 17 17:00:24 2009 UTC. The chair is ricky. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot.
17:00 < zodbot> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #halp #info #idea #link #topic.
17:00 < ricky> #topic Fedora Websites Meeting - Who's here?
17:00 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-websites to: Fedora Websites Meeting - Who's here?
17:00 * ricky
17:01 * sijis is here
17:01 < ricky> I get the feeling that this will be a short one :-)
17:01 * nb
17:01 < nb> hiemanshu, ping?
17:01 < sijis> aren't they typically short?
17:01 < ricky> mizmo, ianweller, nb, hiemanshu, onekopaka_away, anybody I missed: ping
17:01 < ricky> sijis: They tend to be either really short (<15 minutes) or really long (>1 hour)
17:02 < ricky> There hasn't been much in between
17:02 * hiemanshu is here now
17:02 < ianweller> hi
17:03 < ricky> Cool, some more people, let's move on:
17:03 < ricky> #topic Fedora Websites Meeting - Tasks
17:03 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-websites to: Fedora Websites Meeting - Tasks
17:03 < ricky> OK, so any update on any of the tasks from previous weeks?
17:03 < nb> blogs is stalled pending FAS integration
17:03 < hiemanshu> Nope not really
17:03 < nb> hiemanshu, is going to look at it today i think?
17:03 -!- mohammedsafwat__ [n=mohammed(a)41.178.224.180] has joined #fedora-websites
17:03 < ricky> sijis: Thanks for the websites fixes by the way, I committed them to puppet earlier so it should be live now
17:04 < sijis> ricky: oh cool. :)
17:04 < ricky> nb: What part is stalling it? What work needs to be done to unstall it? :-)
17:04 < nb> ricky, getting the plugin to check the passwords
17:04 < nb> it right now just checkes for a valid username
17:04 < ricky> So if anybody has IE6, please test torrents.fedoraproject.org and fedorapeople.org
17:04 < nb> it looks like it is checking password, but in practice does not work
17:05 < ricky> nb: Has anybody gotten a chance to try debugging the issue on a publictest machine?
17:05 < nb> ricky, not sure, all i know that has been done is that nigel looked at it that night
17:05 < nb> and didnt figure anything out, i dont know that anyone has done much since then
17:05 * ricky remembers a few people being interested in doing the FAS auth testing
17:05 < sijis> i can assist with the password checking, if you need another set of eyes.
17:05 < nb> .fasinfo sijis
17:05 < zodbot> nb: User: sijis, Name: Sijis Aviles, email: sijis.aviles(a)gmail.com, Creation: 2009-05-24, IRC Nick: sijis, Timezone: US/Central, Locale: en, Extension: 5130830, GPG key ID: , Status: active
17:05 < zodbot> nb: Approved Groups: cla_done sysadmin cla_fedora
17:05 < zodbot> nb: Unapproved Groups: None
17:06 < nb> sijis, i can send you the plugin or if ricky will sponsor you to -test you can access it there
17:06 < ricky> sijis: It looks like we have none now, so definitely - go ahead and apply to sysadmin-test if you want to take a look
17:06 < ricky> nb can probably walk you through the current setup
17:06 < sijis> okay. i'll apply shortly.
17:06 < nb> wheres the test fas? pt3?
17:06 < ricky> YUp
17:06 < nb> i need to change the fasauth plugin to use that
17:07 < nb> so we aren't using production info
17:07 < ricky> Yeah, that needs to be done ASAP
17:07 < ricky> OK, anything else on blogs.fp.o?
17:07 < nb> ricky, not really, otherwise i think we are ready to deploy
17:07 < sijis> i know the wiki has a module for the fas authentication. i took a look at that a while back to have an idea how it worked.
17:07 < ricky> I did also send an email to somebody at Red Hat that might have experience with wordpress mu auth. I haven't gotten any response on that yet.
17:08 < ricky> sijis: That's supposedly what the current one is based on, but it looks like it's just not working.
17:08 < nb> need to get a database created and get the database imported into there, or create a new one, import would be best because theres some annoying settings
17:08 < ricky> So what *does* the current pugin do yet?
17:08 < ricky> nb: we can import, sure.
17:08 < ricky> Does it check that the username is in CLA + 1 non-CLA group?
17:08 < nb> ricky, it checks to see that the username that is provided is a member of cla_done and i think one other group
17:08 < nb> i know cla_done
17:09 < ricky> OK.
17:09 < nb> and then it adds them a wpmu account to use
17:09 < ricky> Make sure the other group is non-CLA (it can't start with 'cla_')
17:09 < nb> they can then go to signup after they are logged in
17:09 < ricky> That's one point where it's different from the wiki.
17:09 < nb> if they want a blog
17:09 < hiemanshu> ricky, it checks if that person has an fp.o email ID
17:09 < ricky> How does it check that?
17:09 < hiemanshu> and uses that email ID for verification
17:10 < ricky> I'd rather not even make an entry in the db without the proper FAS credentials, but if that's not feasible, then that's fine too.
17:10 < ricky> OK
17:10 < nb> hiemanshu, it checks if they have a fas account
17:10 < nb> and if they are a member of cla_done
17:10 < ricky> One other action that I remember mentioning is spam
17:10 < nb> and i think one other non-cla
17:10 < hiemanshu> ricky, what it does now is check if an ID exists, if that exists it send an email to <name>@fp.o
17:10 < ricky> It'd be good if somebody could ask the GNOME folks about if they've had a spam problem or anything like that.
17:11 < nb> ricky, we can disable non-logged in comments if we need
17:11 < ricky> hiemanshu: Can it check if an ID exists+has CLA+1 non-CLA group, *then* send the email?
17:11 < ricky> nb: That would cut the value of the service a good bit though :-(
17:11 < nb> true
17:11 < ricky> It'd probably stop me from using it, even.
17:11 < hiemanshu> ricky, they will get an email only if they are member of it one non CLA group as well
17:11 * nb not sure if it actually cares about sending an email with the plugin
17:11 -!- mohammedsafwat [n=mohammed(a)41.178.228.135] has quit Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)
17:11 < nb> hiemanshu, ?
17:11 < sijis> can someone give me an examples of a non-cla group?
17:12 < nb> sijis, anything that doesnt start with cla_*
17:12 < ricky> sijis: sysadmin-test is one :-)
17:12 -!- mohammedsafwat_ [n=mohammed(a)41.129.13.3] has quit Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)
17:12 < hiemanshu> to get an fp.o email ID you need to have one cla_done and one non CLA group
17:12 < nb> i.e. not cla_done, cla_fedora, cla_redhat
17:12 < nb> hiemanshu, i know
17:12 < nb> but it checks that directly, i didnt think it actually sent an email with the plugin
17:12 < hiemanshu> nb, so that solves what we need
17:12 < ricky> OK, so sijis is in sysadmin-test now to work on the auth plugin now
17:12 < sijis> btw, i just applied to the group
17:12 < ricky> sijis: We can talk with nb after the meeting to get you setup and working on it if you have some time
17:13 < nb> sijis, /usr/share/wordpress-mu/wp-content/mu-plugins/fasauth.php should be it
17:13 < nb> and it lives at http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp
17:13 < sijis> ok, after meeting should be ok.
17:13 < nb> yeah, i'll stop taking up meeting time :)
17:13 < ricky> nb: I forget, are we packaging that or including that file with puppet?
17:13 < ricky> And that file is 100% clean WRT licenses, right?
17:13 < nb> ricky, neither ATM
17:13 < nb> ricky, yeah
17:14 < nb> ricky, probably puppet, although i could package it
17:14 < nb> ricky, your preference?
17:14 < ricky> OK, if it's going to be a package, then it wouldn't hurt to have the spec ready
17:14 < ricky> That's if it'd be generally useful
17:14 < ricky> Our wiki auth is currently not a package, for what that's worth
17:14 * nb doesnt think it would since it is specific to fedora?
17:14 < ricky> But I have no preference, whatever you think
17:14 < nb> ricky, basically s/wordpress-mu-plugin-defaults/wordpress-mu-plugin-fasauth/
17:14 < nb> would work i think
17:14 < nb> and change %files
17:14 * nb isnt too worried about a spec
17:15 < ricky> Hehe, yeah, it'd be easy to do either.
17:15 < hiemanshu> I think puppet is better though
17:15 < ricky> OK, so I guess that's all for blog.fp.o today.
17:15 < ricky> sijis can hopefully work on getting the plugin working, then we can do some testing with auth to see that it works everywhere it needs to
17:16 < nb> yeah
17:16 < sijis> about packing.. if fas is a package and so is wpmu, why not package the auth-pluin?
17:16 < ricky> Oh, the one other thing - anybody interested in talking to GNOME folks about their blogs setup?
17:16 < ricky> I'm specifically interested in the issue of spam :-/
17:16 < nb> sijis, im not opposed, id do it if that is the consensus
17:16 < nb> sijis, fwiw, it would be easier to update if it was not
17:16 < nb> but i dont see us needing to change it
17:16 < ricky> sijis it's a good question, I don't think we have a policy on what should be packaged vs. not at the moment
17:16 < sijis> nb agreed. playing devil's advocate really.
17:16 < nb> yeah
17:17 < ricky> I personally prefer packages whenever possible, because development should not be taking place in our puppet repo
17:17 < ricky> And having separate copies in the fedora-infrastructure.git repo and puppet just feels wrong (and allows them to get out of sync)_
17:17 < sijis> we could also 'reproduce' the environment if it was packaged easier.
17:17 < nb> true
17:17 < ricky> That'd be the case if it were in puppet too, but the points above still apply
17:18 -!- nask0 [n=sigsegv(a)82.119.64.135] has quit Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)
17:18 * hiemanshu is sorry about not being here completely
17:18 < sijis> understood.
17:18 -!- nask0 [n=sigsegv(a)82.119.64.135] has joined #fedora-websites
17:18 < ricky> I just pinged otaylor on #fedora-admin
17:19 < ricky> He's involved with some GNOME stuff and might be able to direct us to a good contact
17:20 < ricky> Ah, looks like things are iffy there at the moment, the guy that set it up isn't available at the moment
17:21 < sijis> that set what up?
17:21 < ricky> Sorry, the person that setup blogs.gnome.org
17:22 < ricky> Which looks very similar to what we'd like to do with blogs.fp.o
17:22 < ricky> They use wordpress mu as well
17:23 < ricky> OK, so the one other update about tasks in general is that sijis and I have been talking to docs about the possibility of getting some sort of knowledge baes software or something for docs.fp.o
17:23 < ricky> sijis started a thread at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2009-July/msg00092.html, and I sent a reply as well
17:24 < ricky> So hopefully this will get considered in the zikula work that they're doing now - the main question for me right now is what belongs on the wiki vs. the knowledge base software?
17:24 < ricky> quaid has posted some thoughtful responses to that, which is great
17:25 < sijis> i think they are leaning towards the wiki
17:25 < ricky> So that'll be a good conversation to keep up with about improving the "getting help" experience for new people
17:25 < ricky> sijis: Yeah, the impression I've gotten so far is that the knowledge base might contain shorter articles or snippets that link to fuller tutorials/howtos on the wiki
17:25 < mizmo> hi im here now (sorry)
17:25 < ricky> Hey hey
17:26 < ricky> We were just talking about some of the latest discussion we've had with the docs team about improving that
17:26 < sijis> ricky: yes, that's correct. however, i my impression was also that the kb stuff would be in the wiki too.
17:27 < ricky> sijis recently posted about what their thoughts on having a knowlege base type thing are, and I replied with some of my thoughts about what the experience is like for for somebody looking for help
17:27 < ricky> sijis: For what it's worth ianweller mentioned to me that there's already a howto category on the wiki
17:28 < ricky> Maybe we can work out some subcategories that it would be nice to have for our docs?
17:28 < sijis> yeah, good idea.
17:29 < ricky> OK, so the next task I see coming out of this is: Ask people in #fedora-ops what kind of docs would be helpful
17:29 < sijis> i can't say that i've used the wiki a whole lot. i've just fixed a few typos/formatting things.
17:29 < ricky> What common mistakes to new Fedora users make that we could write up some best practices for?
17:29 < ricky> sijis: ianweller is our wiki czar, so he's a good resource for any wiki questions you might have
17:30 < sijis> folks in #fedora might have some stuff too. nirik seemed to have run that fig.
17:30 < ricky> Yeah, he's one of the people in #fedora-ops too
17:30 < sijis> oh, okay
17:30 -!- mohammedsafwat__ [n=mohammed(a)41.178.224.180] has quit Success
17:30 < sijis> fedora-ops is a group i haven't heard of yet.
17:30 -!- mohammedsafwat__ [n=mohammed(a)41.129.13.231] has joined #fedora-websites
17:31 < ricky> sijis: It's the channel where #fedora operators hang out
17:31 < ricky> Let me just get a quick dump of actions so far here:
17:31 < ricky> #action Get FAS Auth plugin working
17:31 < ricky> #action Talk to GNOME people about their blogs setup (issues with spam?)
17:31 < ricky> #action Talk to people in #fedora/#fedora-ops about what kind of docs could be useful to have
17:32 < ricky> OK, so any other thoughts on docs.fedoraproject.org right now?
17:33 < ricky> OK, so the last task update I have is get.fedoraproject.org feedback
17:34 < ricky> mizmo: Mark has been wondering how to move forward with that last round of websites feedback - any ideas?
17:34 * ricky remembers that mizmo might have been working on some mockups incorporating some of that
17:35 < mizmo> ricky: yeh i still have the get.fpo one in progress, since fudcon berlin ive been working on a backlog of stuff from that week :(
17:35 < mizmo> ricky: ill upload it to the wiki and post the link
17:35 < ricky> No worries, no rush at all
17:36 < ricky> Thanks a lot
17:36 < mizmo> the feedback is good, the next steps are in my court
17:36 < mizmo> to apply to the mocks
17:36 < ricky> Awesome, we look forward to seeing what you come up with :-)
17:36 < sijis> wasn't some feedback also provided for fp.o?
17:36 < ricky> Yeah
17:37 < ricky> I'm not sure if mizmo intends on working both at the same time or looking at one set of things first
17:37 < nb> sijis, actually the group is irc-support-operators or something
17:37 -!- fedbot [n=supybot(a)scrye.com] has quit Nick collision from services.
17:37 -!- fedbot` [n=supybot(a)scrye.com] has joined #fedora-websites
17:37 < sijis> so two feedbacks went out.. fp.o and get.fp.o?
17:37 < mizmo> i want to get get.fpo solid first
17:37 < ricky> Sounds good, that fits with the priorities we had discussed
17:37 < mizmo> i think www.fpo is a bigger kettle of fish :) we'll need involvement from other teams like marketing on that one
17:37 < ricky> sijis: I think they're all in the same email thread
17:38 < ricky> mizmo: Ohh, good point, I remember Jack pinging me about some last minute fp.o changes that I couldn't make for the F11 release
17:38 < ricky> So communication there is definitely key
17:38 < mizmo> yeh
17:39 < ricky> OK, so that's all I've got
17:39 < ricky> #topic Fedora Websites Meeting - Open Floor
17:39 < sijis> mizmo: so are you the design/mockups guru?
17:39 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-websites to: Fedora Websites Meeting - Open Floor
17:39 < mizmo> sijis: i dont know if id call myself a guru but :) mockups are primarily what i do
17:39 < mizmo> :)
17:40 < sijis> ok.
17:40 * ricky wishes we could get a some clones of mizmo - it'd do us wonders :-)
17:41 < ricky> OK, so anything else anybody else wants to discuss?
17:41 < ricky> Or any new people that have introduced themselves on list want to say hi? :-)
17:42 -!- fedbot` [n=supybot(a)scrye.com] has quit Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)
17:42 < sijis> hi, I'm Sijis. i live in Chicago, USA. my $job is a sysadmin. i enjoy walks in the park.
17:42 < ricky> Welcome, sijis!
17:42 < ricky> And thanks for tracking down that (ugh) IE6 stupidity
17:42 < sijis> i truly enjoy working on websites. that's how i got into 'computers'.
17:43 < ricky> #action Confirm that IE6 issues are fixed on torrents.fedoraproject.org & fedorapeople.org
17:43 < ricky> Cool
17:43 < ricky> sijis: Are you good with PHP? That's what the FAS auth plugin stuff will mostly be
17:44 < sijis> yup. i'm decent in it.
17:44 < ricky> Awesome, we'll get you setup with the auth plugin soon then, thanks
17:44 < ricky> Anything else before we close up?
17:46 < nb> no
17:46 < nb> i dont think so
17:46 < ricky> All right then

About $self
by Jorge Gallegos
Hey All,
I joined the fedora team a while ago, and just recently joined the
infrastructure team. I'm a equal-parts sysadmin and web developer, done some
development with java, php, python/django and some other stuff, so I thought
I would join this group as well.
The tasks I'm interested in is giving something back in maintenance to the
fedora sites and at the same time learn about the current setup you have.
I'm already taking a look at a ticket[1], but I forgot to send the mandatory
self-introduction here :)

Cropped tables on IE6

that the tables are cropped and they will not able to scroll down to
view it completely. This should resolve this problem for those
individuals.
