Sysadmin Guide - Conversion to asciidocs
by Ryan 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hi all, I'm not sure what's going on at all in the fedora docs team atm. As there has been no communication in IRC, no meetings in recent times, and no activity until yesterday in pagure everything is looking pretty dead. I have therefore begun a conversion to asciidocs for the sysadmin guide in pagure as a separate project. Apart from the docs-fp-o project lightly touching on the fact that we want to start making the documentation topical 'like the gnome project documentation' there is not any detailed information on how we want to go about this, no information on the asciidocs tool mallard (and I can't get it to install to attempt to use it or understand it) and without being able to communicate with the docs project in IRC I can't really consult anyone so I feel that the quickest way to get this started is to just do a 'direct' conversion to asciidocs manually (which i've already started), and then we can decide how to go about making it topical in the future, which shouldn't be hard as I'm making my conversion modular splitting up the different sections of the document into separate files. If you want to discuss this with me, I'm logging into IRC fairly regularly (terminal__) at present, you can send a response to my email address and the list, or you can comment (I think) on the project at https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/asciidocs-sysadmin. Looking forward to hearing from someone. Ryan.

[Bug 1198643] New: Append parameters to grub.cfg
by Red Hat Bugzilla 08 May '17

08 May '17

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1198643 Bug ID: 1198643 Summary: Append parameters to grub.cfg Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: virtualization-guide Assignee: docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Reporter: geanceretta(a)gmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, lnovich(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Description of problem: The instructions[1] of how to append parameters to Grub's grub.config file is obsolete on recent releases of Fedora. The file /boot/grub/grub.conf doesn't exist anymore. The way to do it now is (tested on Fedora 20): 1 - Edit /etc/default/grub 2 - Append information at the line GRUBCMDLINELINUX=" ... console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 ... ") 3 - Regenerate the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file with the command "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" Link: [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Virtualization_Administr… Additional info: The documentation is refered to version 18 where it should work, but as we don't have a documentation in a most atual release of Fedora for that subject, you can write a note for the users of most recent releases of Fedora that came with Grub2, where the procedure is according with that listed above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.

Self-Introduction:
by Brian Bostwick 07 May '17

07 May '17

What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past? This is the first public wiki I am looking to participate in. I have spent some time learning Linux and other flavors of Unix and now would like to participate by giving back in both written documentation and programming. What level and type of computer skills do you have? I am a web developer. What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc. Web development, both front and back ends, primarily PHP and Javascript based libraries and frameworks. Strong writing and communication skills. What makes you an excellent match for the project? In addition to programming experience, I have writing and communication experience! I have completed a B.A. in English and have been simultaneously working in a programming role and taking computer science classes at night. I have completed roughly eighty percent of a second B.A. in Computer Science. I'm in the Eastern time zone.
