Storage Guide Ownership
by Pete Travis 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi Jacquelynn, I am reassigning the default bugzilla ownership for the Storage Administration Guide to the docs@ mailing list for now, and clearing the owner from the docs table. This guide was last published for Fedora 14, and there have been no commits since February of 2011. Since then, we have sporadically received feedback from users through various channels; not a lot, but enough to be sure there's interest. A number of people have also voiced an interest in *contributing* to the guide as well. The guide and those potential contributions have suffered due to the lack of a responsive coordinator. I appreciate and use your work on the counterpart RHEL guide regularly, but the guide owner role in Fedora Docs involves coordinating community efforts and participating in the Docs group in addition to writing the copy. This will give others the opportunity to update the guide or take over as an active coordinator. -- -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize(a)fedoraproject.org

Just joined the list
by Peter Gervase 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hey everybody. I just joined the list so here's a little introduction email. I've worked at Red Hat for the past 7+ years and during that time I've worked a little bit on Directory Server/ldap/... and some RHEV, but for the past few years I've been focused on Satellite, Proxy, and RHUI. Also during the past few years I've been a KCS coach writing and updating articles for access.redhat.com and mentoring my coworkers in their articles. I also wrote a bit for the RH320 material back when that course was still in use. I got a few Red Hat certs along the way - https://www.redhat.com/wapps/training/certification/verify.html;jsessionid=… I work until ~6pm Eastern during the week so the hours that I'll be able to work here will be on the weekends and during the week from 9pm until 11pm or midnight if I had too much coffee in the afternoon. For my gpg info: $ gpg --fingerprint A61A074C pub 2048R/A61A074C 2014-07-16 Key fingerprint = 948E 4AAE 0CA0 1EDE C044 7256 D691 6D8A A61A 074C uid Peter Gervase <pgervase(a)redhat.com> sub 2048R/2F03D36E 2014-07-16 Outside of work, I like to go running, play soccer, and trying to think of ways to keep the deer out of my garden without having my HOA yell at me. Thanks Peter

Stale Docs Memberships
by Pete Travis 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

In the last meeting - and sporadically in the past - we discussed removing accounts from the docs FAS groups that haven't been active in a while. Many organizations have a policy of removing commit access for users that have left the project. Besides the potential security issues with accounts that might not be under control, it just makes sense that people looking for a contact in a given capacity should see a list of people that are actually active in that capacity. The proposal that came out of the meeting was to remove accounts from the docs, docs-writers, and docs-publishers groups after 12 months of inactivity. If we reach a consensus, I'll look at some of the methods used in other groups ( last FAS login, last commit, etc ) and remove unused accounts from these groups, and then do so again... every so often. Maybe once per release cycle. If a deprivileged user happens to be a Guide owner, or if a Guide owner is observably unresponsive, I think we should make a reasonable attempt to contact them before removing their privileges. We'll have to discuss the future of the Guide as a group, assign a default bz contact, as part of the process, not just remove them from the groups. Finally, affected users should know that they're still welcome in the group, and they need only ask for sponsorship. Please discuss, opine, or complain about the idea now; we'll vote on it during the 21July meeting. -- -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize(a)fedoraproject.org

Beats season is upon us, go claim yours!
by Petr Bokoc 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hello everyone, It's finally time for us to start working on release notes for Fedora 21. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to check the beat assignments table on the wiki[1] and: * If your name is in the table and has an asterisk (*) next to it, either remove the asterisk if you want to work on this beat, or remove your name if you want to leave it to someone else * If you see a beat which you would like to help with, add your name to the table After you do that, you should start going through the list of accepted change proposals[2], requesting info from developers, etc. You know the drill. If you don't actually know the drill, or you need a refresher course on how to beat, the wiki has some basic info[3]. If you have any questions not answered on this page, feel free to ping people in the #fedora-docs chanel on Freenode, or you can send an e-mail asking for help to this list. At the same time, I'd like to ask all beat writers to subscribe to the relnotes-content mailing list[4], if you aren't already. Ideally, devs will set the appropriate flags in Bugzilla when they submit something that they think belongs to the release notes, so it can save you some work, and help you keep track of changes. (Note that this won't be 100% reliable, so don't rely *only* on this list.) And finally, I'd also like to direct everyone's attention to randomuser's Beats Redux page[5], which is an effort to revamp the current beat categories. We don't have to use the new setup for this release, but even if we don't, help with defining the structure, identifying specific components that belong in each category, and writing introductions for categories is welcome. Cheers, Petr [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/ChangeSet [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_workflow_-_beat_writing [4] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/relnotes-content [5] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Immanetize/Beats_Redux

How to increase APAC involvement at meetings
by Laura Novich 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi everyone, I realize that we are located all across the globe and attending meetings is hard. The Fedora-docs meeting is not held at a convenient time for those in the APAC region. In order to be able to change this I need to know who will attend this meeting if the time is something that is convenient for you to attend. Please reply and let me know if you can come. If yes, please indicate morning, mid day, evening, or night as a preferred time slot so we can decide how to plan this meeting. Thank you -- Regards, Laura Novich "It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book." - Friedrich Nietzsche
