Six Sigma with R
by John J. McDonough 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

If anyone is curious about the R document I'm working on, the current progress is at: http://jjmcd.fedorapeople.org/Download/R-2.13-Six_Sigma_with_R_-_A_Tutorial… Note that this is very incomplete. I don't know if I will ever complete this beast. Each section requires getting some appropriate example data, running experiments to demonstrate the concept, thinning it out to just the important essence, then actually writing prose. R is incredibly rich with all sorts of twisty passageways so even the simplest things often turn into multi-day adventures. Fun, for sure, but very time consuming. Maybe this is my version of Angry Birds. Naturally, each time I touch this I think of a few more things I forgot to include! If anyone wishes to help with this project it would be appreciated, but this is a pretty arcane area. --McD

My To-Dos
by John J. McDonough 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

In an attempt to get more into the open, a report on my to-do items from two meetings ago, which we didn't get to address last meeting: * jjmcd to file bug on PRODUCT/PRODVER in Publican Done - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720656 * jjmcd to check with dgrift on Ubuntu migration / policycoreutils I was unable to locate the bug related to this, and as a result, couldn't remember the details I was looking for. Also, didn't find dgrift on the wiki * jjmcd to look for a Chem/Physics expert for OLF Going through my old emails I didn't run across anyone who looked promising. However, it occurred to me that the Robotics SIG might be interested in a Robotics Guide. Emailed the SIG members but so far no response. Related to OLF, gomix reported to me on IRC that he had contacted his astrophysicist friend (his to-do from that same meeting). No answer last I heard. In other news, I submitted a review request for an R add-on. If anyone has a burning urge to review a kind of strange RPM it would be appreciated: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722640 Some of you are aware that I have been chipping away at a Six Sigma using R tutorial lately. This package hits on a lot of Six Sigma tools. --McD

Joining the Docs project
by Petr Kovar 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi all, I've decided to join the fun and participate in the Fedora Documentation Project. I'm especially interested in contributing to RPM Guide, which has become quite outdated now but which I and Mr Google consider to be a still valuable and unique source of information for RPM users and packagers alike on the net. I'm also joining the Fedora packagers group as I'll maintain one or two currently orphaned packages. Among other things, I already work with jhradilek on the OProfile chapter in the Deployment Guide. In the open source community, I've been involved in the docs, i18n and l10n efforts for several years, particularly in the GNOME Project (https://live.gnome.org/PetrKovar) Also, if there are other guys around interested in working on RPM docs, I'd definitely like to talk to you! I'm pkovar (or pmkovar) on IRC. Thanks, -- Petr Kovar Content Author | Engineering Content Services Red Hat Czech s.r.o. Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

I'd like to help with docs
by Larry Cafiero 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hello, I'm Larry Cafiero and I had been involved with the Fedora Project in the Ambassadors program from 2008 until recently, when I resigned my assorted Ambassador positions to take a break. Now that break time is over, in a manner of speaking, I'd like to return to the Fedora Project and help out with documentation. I have been a journalist and newspaper editor for a little over three decades, and I would like to put these talents to use for the Fedora Project. Thanks for your consideration. Larry Cafiero

This means lots of work for GNOME 3 needed. Everything else just checked for current default application names, how to launch (gnome3 issues) and descriptions. I will NOT be able to get to it before Aug 30. I *might* be able to *start* helping that week. Someone else needs to pick up the lead here! Here is the checklist and "HowTo" I used for F14 - other than status table tasks - most should still apply. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Laubersm/Documentation_User_Guide_Updat… It needs to be polished and turned into a proper doc for docs members. I know a lot of work was done in that category in the past year... so this may already be in there for all I know. -Susan > > So if you are working on a guide please go to the wiki[1] and add your > guide and your goals. > > [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_guide_goals_for_F14 > [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_guide_goals_for_F16 > > --Eric > -- > docs mailing list > docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs > -- Susan Lauber, (RHCX, RHCVA, RHCA, RHCSS) Lauber System Solutions, Inc. http://www.laubersolutions.com gpg: 15AC F794 A3D9 64D1 D9CE 4C26 EFC3 11C2 BFA1 0974
