Wiki Migration
by Paulo Santos
Hi everyone,
As you know, after the release of FC6, we had problems with the amount of
connections to our servers. This made the wiki unavailable as well as other
related problems.
With this concern, the Fedora Infrastructure Team, have been working in a
way to prevent this from happening again. Our first step, is the wiki
migration.
We are now ready to test the future wiki platform, and this is why i'm
sending this email.
URL: http://webtest.fedora.redhat.com/wiki (MoinMoin 1.5.6)
Please track all problems under
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/WikiMigration, edit that page
as you see fit, so that we can fix any problems that you guys may encounter.
Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Many thanks,
Paulo

Cool!
I'll speak Karsten and the Ambassadors group for you. What's the cut off
date etc.?

Re: DocBook XML rises from the ashes!
by Dimitrios Typaldos
Hello,
I am on GMT as Thierry and this choice is fine to me as well. I need to ask a question anyway:
Is the day choice (Monday) ok for everyone ? Unless people eastern places are available (and happy) at very late hours
I cannot see many solutions other than trying in weekend times or split the tutorial in two time-zones (is it possible ?).
By my side I am happy as far as GMT <= 2 am

Besides asking "dumb" questions, I'm also great at "stupid" responses.
Paul *is* talking about Monday at 5 PM, which, of course, is my Tuesday
at 1 AM.

Self introduction
by Vladimir Kosovac
Hi all.
I am Vladimir Kosovac and am based in Auckland, New Zealand. I just
recently figured that excuses, mostly to self, about not having enough
time to put some effort into this beautiful project don't work anymore.
So, here I am.
I have spent last 6+ years as sysadmin at Computer Power, what used to
be one of the largest IT training organisations in this part of the
world. Sadly, we are not anymore, since Australian operation wound up at
the beginning of this year.
You all will be happy to know that our training environment is about 97%
Red Hat on the server side and 100% Fedora on the Desktop. Obviously, we
have to provide Windows desktops, too but those are VMs, so they don't
count :o). We are also Red Hat Academy and I am proud to say that two
former colleagues from Melbourne and I were the ones to persuade
management structures to work with Red Hat on establishing our
organisation's Academy status.
My Linux experience dates back to 2000, when I put the hand up for a job
at this workplace. That opened my eyes and apart from moving to New
Zealand, I consider it the smartest move I made in my whole life. There
is nothing better than the opportunity to make a living by doing what
one really loves. Hopefully, my future contribution will help in making
this possible for someone else, too.
I'd be most interested to work on parts of the System Administration
Guide but I am also happy to help with whatever is considered priority,
provided my knowledge is sufficient for whatever that might be.
I am not programmer and don't intend to become one. I do have some
experience with editing learning material at my workplace. This was done
using common word processing apps though but I am going to get on some
learning of DocBook XML, which seems pretty straight-forward to get to
the level needed to start helping with "checkout-edit-build-publish"
effort that Paul suggested recently on the list.
Looking forward to work with all of you.
Regards,
Vladimir

DocBook XML rises from the ashes!
by Paul W. Frields
Hi gang,
It has become apparent over the last few months that having only a
couple of people with DocBook XML and CVS skills is a bit of a hampering
factor for the Docs Project. This is completely independent of Wiki
use, and whether we have wiki docs or not, we will *always* need some
people with these skills, more than we have right now for sure. I
raised this issue in Tuesday's meeting and wanted to follow up with a
proposal.
We need at least four volunteers to step up to learn these technologies,
only to the extent needed to accomplish the following goals:
1. Understand how to check out document modules from our source code
management (SCM) system -- currently CVS.
2. Build documents that are already written and edited, and report
problems fully if unsuccessful.
3. Understand how to make changes as directed and commit them to the
SCM.
4. Understand how to publish documents to the web site. (Currently this
is fedora.redhat.com/docs, but we will track changes as needed.)
We need to agree on a way to train in these technologies. I think IRC
meetings would suffice, but we will need to agree on a date and time.
We can use other technologies on an "as needed" basis, such as gobby.
I can promise people that the training will be virtually painless and
will require *NO prior experience* with any markup language, shell
scripting or programming language, although if you've ever hit "View
Source" in your Firefox browser, that's a plus. (You don't have to
understand what you saw, but the fact that you cared shows a lot of
promise.) :-)
I can also promise you that anyone can learn this stuff, especially
anyone who already knows how to install and use Fedora. In fact, I
didn't know any of it until I got here in 2003. (And some would
probably say that I only know enough to be dangerous now.)
Please step up -- we need YOU!

Hello,
though my knowledge on the list of 'skills' you mentioned is limited on the first and partially second item
I think I would be interested in learning something more. Happy to help.
Regards
Dimitri
