Easyfix + WhatCanIDoForFedora
by Brian Exelbierd 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

I started writing this a while ago and never got it fully formed. Rather than let it keep rotting in my drafts folder I wanted to share it and see if it made sense to anyone else. Warning - rough edges ahead! --- Conversations with several people have resulted in distilling the following idea: = EasyFix == Changing metadata Modify the table that drives fedoraproject.org/easyfix that is located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix The table would now include two additional columns (optional) Col 1 = existing reference to the issue tracker. We should consider adding gitlab.com support Col 2 = existing point of contact Col 3 = category of task (documentation, infrastructure, programming-Haskell, programming-Ruby, etc.) Col 4 = SIG/WG/etc. this project is related too (Design, Council, KDE, etc.) == Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and Bugzillas I believe those categories are not the right categories for consumers of the page. Using the new category (col 3) above, we would break things out by the kind of contribution. This would serve to let people browse related tasks more easily and to reduce the overwhelming nature of the current lists. For BZs we are either going to have to guess based on BZ metadata or leave them lumped together. = WCIDFF WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups appropriate for the various endpoints. This way the person who navigates WCDIFF has the option of reading a specific task they could work on right now, if they so desire. = Marketing/Promotion The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. This could come in the form of articles, tweets, or live conference appearances. What do people think? regards, bex

Call for users of statscache
by Clement Verna 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Dear all, During our last meeting [0], we have talked about retiring the statscache service [1]. This is in line with an on going effort to reduce the number of application the infrastructure team has to maintain. The motivation behind this service was to generate statistics using the data of the fedmsg bus. We believe that this service has very little users if not none. Also the commops groups is currently working on another solution to generated statistics using fedmsg [2], this solution is based on GrimoireLab [3]. If there is little interest for this project, we will likely to retire it after the F29 beta freeze [4] Regards, Clément [0] - https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/infrastructure/infrastructure.2018-… [1] - https://apps.fedoraproject.org/statscache/web/getting-started [2] - https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/114 [3] - https://chaoss.github.io/grimoirelab/ [4] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/29/Schedule?rd=Schedule

Re-introduction: John M. Harris, Jr.
by John Harris 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

My name is John Harris, and I'm a systems engineer for Splentity Software. I have been a member of CommOps in the past, though I've had about two years of inactivity. I now have more stable employment, and I can attend commops meetings more regularly. I also plan to become more active in other areas of Fedora, as a packager. Additionally, I am a current member of both the Games SIG and 3D Printing SIG. It's good to be back. -- John M. Harris, Jr. <johnmh(a)splentity.com> Splentity

Fedora Science SIGs: bringing them together
by Ankur Sinha 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had an amazing Flock this year! I was hoping to discuss this there in-person but I couldn't make it this year :( I've recently resurrected the NeuroFedora SIG (it's my area of research so I'm quite happy to maintain it), but while I was looking around I saw that we already have a few science related SIGs in Fedora---I was aware of maybe one or two, but not all of them, in spite of one or two being featured on labs.fp.o! - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/bigdata - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Astronomy_SIG - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/ML - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMedical - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/NeuroFedora - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Robotics - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech Now, mostly, these are groups of people who come together and package up software that is relevant to the particular field, and the SIGs work independently of each other. However when one looks at them, one realises that lots of work that each SIG does overlaps with other SIGs. I think it's quite within our community goals to further Open Science. So, I was wondering if we could organise the SIGs better under a common umbrella: "Fedora <3 science" or something of the sort. It'll give all SIGs a common theme, it'll also enable us to market science in Fedora better (or so I think), and it'll enable other community members interested in other sciences to start their own SIGs in the future. What do folks think? Would this come under CommOps? I'm happy to help with this, of course---I'd really like to make Fedora a "go-to" distribution for whatever sciences the community can support, not just Neuroscience. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Timezone: Europe/London

Question about weekly FPgM update posts
by Ben Cotton 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Hi all, I've started publishing weekly FPgM updates. Right now, I publish on my blog and put it in my 'fedoraplanet' tag so it shows up on Fedora Planet. But I thought it might be suitable as a regular part of the community blog...or it might not. So I put it to you. I'll publish it wherever you think is best. Thanks, BC -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Request for feedback: #108 - Metrics for CommBlog and Magazine
by Dhanesh B. Sabane 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Aloha everyone! The "Metrics for Community Blog and Fedora Magazine" task [1] has been a work in progress for a long time. There were discussions around it during the FAD and the meetings that followed over the last 7 months. I did some research on how we can implement this using the current tools we have at our disposal and mentioned it on the ticket. [2] I request everyone to take a look at the issue and share their thoughts on the proposed approach. These metrics will go a long way in understanding various aspects of the Community Blog and the Magazine and also encouraging more contributions.
