Selinux guide
by Marc Wiriadisastra 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hey All, It seems like someone was eager awhile ago http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SELinux has been put up already. Should we use that link or change it to SELinuxGuide? I'm going to start creating the pages over the next week or so. I would like some input from everyone as to what to add. Cheers, Marc

OK, we have a few people left to fill out the meeting time matrix: John Babich Bob Jensen Jared Smith http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/MeetingTimeMatr… Please go to that page and indicate in the chart where you *can* attend a meeting, so we can get off the ground the first available time after FUDCon. I know some of us will be there, and we should certainly make sure any of the new folks who haven't met get acquainted. Thanks guys! -- Paul W.

The Brennan Home Server HOWTO
by Timothy Murphy 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Miles Brennan said: -------------------------------------------------------------- Although the document was written to suit Fedora Core, I tried to maintain generic configuration and commands where possible so other distros could also benefit from it. Also stayed away from the GUIs. Converting the plain HTML version of the document to wiki format was much more painful than first anticipated. I wanted to keep the feel of the original HOWTO styled document, as I believe they are much easier to read and follow than the current wiki construct. However the wiki code does not easily support the formatting of tables, cells, preformatted text and other basis formatting. Working in RAW wiki code was very time consuming. Here is the draft of the HOWTO I worked on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ServerInstallationGuide I installed moinmoin on my own server to work on the formatting issues a little easier and found I needed to make some significant changes to the CSS for the document to look and feel the way I wanted it to. It was also mentioned at the time that FDP would be moving to a Plone and Zope based system, making these type of migrations easier. Although I had no experience with these two applications, I was happy to try something new. I eventually gave up on transferring the documentation because the new system has not been implemented and I found the wiki frustrating. If FDP is still willing to accept the documentation, I am happy to change the licensing and Tim is prepared to start some work on it. Perhaps we start a new thread on updating the HOWTO and moving it into the FDP. Open to suggestions. -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not quite sure if I am the Tim referred to here, but if I am then I would be happy to try my hand at bringing the HOWTO into the Fedora Documentation Project. On the content side, there are a couple of points that I wondered about: 1. You talk a little about PPPoE in chapter 5. Is this still necessary? I had the impression that all *DSL modems now do this for you, and basically give an Ethernet connection to the Internet? 2. Does one have to understand IPtables any more (chapter 6)? I use shorewall, which seems to me to make this bit of life much easier. Am I right in thinking shorewall is more or less the default Fedora firewall nowadays? 3. Do people still use FTP (chapter 14)? 4. I wonder if a chapter on SVN might be worth while? But these are probably better discussed off the list, if indeed I am given the task of trying to bring your HOWTO (and it would remain your HOWTO) into the FDP? Tim

Editquew like problems
by Karl Larsen 05 Jan '08

I want permission to edit a wiki page. I tried to join a group waiting for this and the web page is broken. Or seems to be to me. So I will just wait until something happens I guess. No chance to write other wise. I even have a place on the wiki. I can't edit it :-) Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Eric H. Christensen Newport News, VA USA Information Assurance Analyst Honeywell Technology Solutions Inc * Your goals in the Fedora Project o What do you want to write about? Security mostly but I'll write about anything because it helps me learn! o What other documentation do you want to see published? Not sure what else needs to be published but I'm open to ideas. o Anything else you'd like to do? I'm open to suggestions. * Historical qualifications o What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past? I do a lot of web work and work on documenting networks. o What level and type of computer skills do you have? I'm just getting out of the noob status in Linux and am trying hard to get the skills I need to becoming a Linux (read that Fedora & Red Hat) administrator/guru. I've been working with computer for the last 18 years, mostly in the Windows world. o What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc. I have to interface with people all the time so I'm usually pretty good at that. I'm not a programmer but am an excellent networking engineer and security auditor. I know how to explain security to people that aren't in security. o What makes you an excellent match for the project? I have a certain attention to detail that helps me go back to a document or webpage that I've published and refine it to help make it clearer. * GPG KEYID and fingerprint D74908ED 2007-12-31 [expires: 2008-12-30] Key fingerprint = 4395 EF8D DDFF E681 26CB 7165 2F95 7CC9 D749 08ED -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHfVtHL5V8yddJCO0RAlGFAJ0e1D5CuC0QwKFb234T9qhDkfChNwCdERkj 8NjMFCybJ8GxgmN/TZZ3jSw= =TOY8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
