Deependra Singh Shekhawat #City, Country, TimeZone Jodhpur, India, IST #Profession Student: Doing Master of computer application from Engineering College #School School of Engineering Jai Narain Vyas University Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India #Goals in Fedora Project I want to write more about the existing guides covering the topics about "Cobbler", "Virtualization" , "Python" etc. In etc. I would like to include the different server packages like sendmail, qmail, bind, apache, nfs and samba. The above servers I have included because I have done RHCE (Redhat certified Engineer) and in the past worked as a Redhat Trainer in a local training partner here. So I would like to contribute my knowledge into the Docs covering them. I have included "Cobbler" and "virtualization" because I have been experimenting with them for the past few months. Mainly configuring them and testing them. "Python" because I am currently learning it. If I can help in this it will be my pleasure. #Historical qualifications BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) RHCE (Redhat Certified Engineer) in January 2006. Redhat Trainer at local training center for 4 months. Efficient in: C/C++/Data-Structures/User Interface Design/Network administration Some knowledge in Python/RPM/GTK/PyGTK I have been using Fedora and Redhat Enterprise Linux for about 3 years for my personal use and otherwise. #GPG KeyID and FingerPrint [deepsa@localhost ~]$ gpg --fingerprint jeevanullas(a)gmail.com pub 1024D/483B234C 2007-06-29 [expires: 2008-06-28] Key fingerprint = ED45 62EA A4D7 53FB 44C7 774A D55B F3F0 483B 234C uid Deependra Singh Shekhawat (Fedora Project) <jeevanullas(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/7E098D45 2007-06-29 [expires: 2008-06-28] Deependra Singh Shekhawat irc@freenode: openbysource

autobuild

by Karsten Wade

Is it time to consider running an autobuild server for docs? 16:10 < daMaestro> also, i'll need to test render time for these documents -> all_lang ... because we really don't want to have a 5 minute render process triggered by plone.. that would just suck 16:11 < stickster> We may need to look at having those triggered and performed elsewhere, and picked up when finished http://autobuild.org/ We get two benefits: * Somewhere for Plone to pick up specific tags/branches * Docs rawhide - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

misc status 26 June

by Karsten Wade

Since we didn't have a steering committee meeting today, I thought I would update some status on a few things I'm doing or overseeing: * Some increased activity around the idea of working through all guides one at a time. The first task, of getting software management content into the user and admin guides, is complete. ** Now we all need to write, read, edit, fix, and pay attention to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide (John - what is the idea with Docs/Drafts/UserGuide redirecting to DesktopUserGuide? ** Anyone care that "FUG" (Fedora User Guide) and "FAG" (Fedora Administrator Guide) might have other meanings to people? * New content publication system. We are waiting for a Plone version to become available before deploying. In the meantime, we have been working up the enhancement requests (RFEs) for the system, via this mailing list. Expect some update from Jon Steffan, who is doing the custom coding and roll-out as a GSoC project. * New translation system quietly went live this week. As content providers, we should be happy at the integration and overall quality of what is going on. Personally, I'm very excited by the surge of energy in the Translation Project. http://translate.fedoraproject.org * One project quietly making progress is the man/info page wiki editor: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/VillePekkaVainio Ville-Pekka's blog was just added to planet.fedoraproject.org; sorry I didn't think of that previously. You can catch up on the project status with this tag: http://vpv.kapsi.fi/blog/category/summercode/ * New canonical legal pages. We might want to migrate the Wiki-based content there and make it all one location, forevermore: http://fedoraproject.org/legal /me adds that to a task ... DocsProject/Tasks/Wiki2CMS That's what is occurring to me right now. I'm going to send this before I forget to send it and it becomes another unfinished task. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Meeting tomorrow (2007-06-25)

by Paul W. Frields

I am so sorry, guys, but I will have to miss tomorrow's meeting. Work has me out of the office tomorrow at an all day (and most of the night) meeting. I will be around on IRC for a while tonight and if I have something to ask/report/raise, I'll send mail and put it on the agenda page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/Meetings. Of course I'll be logging per usual, so feel free to nick-drop as needed. ;-) Apologies again. -- Paul W.

Self-Introduction: Anton N. Petrov

by Anton N. Petrov

# Full legal name (as you use it is fine) Anton N. Petrov # City, Country Saint-Petersburg, Russia # Profession or Student status Software Engineer # Your goals in the Fedora Project I intend to begin with translation of the software and documentation into Russian. Also I want to do as much as I can to change the "Disable SELinux"-all-around situation. SELinux was a decisive point when I chose Fedora Core as an OS for my [Web]server, so I'm very concerned about it. # Historical qualifications Experienced in project planning/management, C/C++ programming, *ML/PHP/MySQL, network administration. I have some knowledge in Java, Perl, and linux kernel :) I spend a lot of my time with Fedora. # GPG KEYID and fingerprint pub 1024D/BBC51CDA 2007-06-19 [expires: 2008-06-18] Key fingerprint = FD2F C8C2 D4A8 EDA3 315D 85C7 B670 BAC8 BBC5 1CDA uid Anton N.

Again, DocBook Visions

by Paul W. Frields

If you're a Fedora Documentation Project contributor, or you want to be, this message is for you. We keep a lot of our work -- the really good stuff -- in DocBook XML in a CVS source code repository. Learning to use it is pretty easy, but if you're not a hardcore geek, it can be scary getting stared. (I know, I was scared of it when I started too.) This morning I updated http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/DocBook to point to our example tutorial, a sort of "show and tell" device for learning DocBook XML. It has long segments of explanatory text that tell you how to get started using DocBook. http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/example-tutorial/en_US/example-tutor... If you've never used DocBook, or only used it a little, and want to be a powerful contributor to the project, this tutorial may help! It would be great if all new contributors would check out the tutorial through the link above. Read it, and feel free to ask questions here or on IRC (irc.freenode.net) at #fedora-docs. I'd also appreciate feedback if you feel something's missing or confusing. You can even be a superstar and file a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ under Fedora Documentation => example-tutorial. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE http://paul.frields.org/ gpg fingerprint: 3DA6 A0AC 6D58 FEC4 0233 5906 ACDB C937 BD11 3717 Fedora Project: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields irc.freenode.net: stickster @ #fedora-docs, #fedora-devel, #fredlug

SMG -> AG

by Jonathan Roberts

I've just finished dumping all the bits from the SMG -> AG. I think links etc will still need updating, and a few other things, so I'll try and take a look at them later today... Cheers, Jon

one at a time

by Karsten Wade

In recent meetings, FDSCo decided it would be a good idea for all of us to focus on completing one guide at a time. Right now we are running in parallel and making slower progress. What do you think of this idea? How does this order sound? 1. SMG (split) => UG, AG 2. UG 3. SpinG 4. AG 5. DevelG 6. RPM Guide I think the first task is going to be fairly easily accomplished, and it supports the second. We've all agreed that the spin work is important, but it is targeted at a much smaller audience than the User Guide. My thinking for putting the spin work in front of the Admin Guide is that i) the spin work is easier (shorter, more material existing), and ii) the AG is going to be a bit harder to do. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
