[Fedora-electronic-lab] spin maintainer's requirement for the website
by Chitlesh GOORAH 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hello Design Team, Since there are a lot of information and mockups about how to get to the new spin website, but not about the layout of the spin website itself. I want to share with you some of my needs as a spin maintainer for FEL, which I believe might be for other spin maintainers. Before I get started, I want to emphasize that FEL's website should look as professional as possible. This is because I want to give those companies that are willing to collaborate with us the feeling that FEL is a mature platform and they can trust us with their contribution and time. That said, there are 4 important aspects what the website should convey: * information for upstream 20% : showing them how their software is being treated and what they are missing if their software is not part of our collection * information for users 30%: basic things : download urls, who are we behind the spin, some screenshots of the software, future events, event slides, photos on events reflecting our maturity, spin's portfolio, Main highlights of the tools, history of the spin (helps the user to choose F-n or F-n+1), spin achievements in real life * information for our contributors 10% : slides templates, our spin fedora hosted website, its tickets, next event, a place to post their publications, developer section * spin portfolio 40%: this is the most important part: It reflects all the key features of all the software under the spin's umbrella and not only copy-paste description of the software. It is accompanied by screenshots, and different solutions for usage. If these 4 aspects are respected, do marketing for the spin should not be difficult (by anyone, even those who have no clue what the spin does). The contents of the four items will be produced by the spin's team and not design team. I would however request that the template being prepared for the spin be less geeky and less crowdy by unnecessary artwork such as gradients etc. As far as I am concerned, Shakthi and I are pushing hard with so that FEL's opensource solutions meet real life user requirements. Our spin technical niche obliges us to opt for a template which tags us as a leader in our field and a EDA distributor such as these: http://www.synopsys.com/home.aspx http://www.mentor.com/ http://www.cadence.com/us/pages/default.aspx I don't know how much time you have allocated to the spin website design, however I have once designed FEL's old page based on Mairin's mockup (F-8 to F-10 timeframe) http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Projects/Fedora%20Spins/Wireframe… I have migrated (during F-10 timeframe) FEL's website contents on JohnPalmeri's initial moksha like fedora community webpage: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/ I have tweaked it from right-to left so that all the pages can be viewed from _any_ browser. It is important that the spin website can also be viewed under Internet Explorer as well, because some corporate companies especially the managers, marketers and CEOs run windows and they are the ones to seduce for ensure mass deployment of FEL. I would encourage you guys (especially for the spin website : MYSPIN.fedoraproject.org) to opt a template similar to FEL'S website and improve it. It is clean and easy to get contents in without being a web designer. I'm looking forward to be a beta user of the new website. Cheers, Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab] html file to help SysAdmin choose CentOS or FEL
by Chitlesh GOORAH 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hello there, I have setup up a basic html page listing all FEL packages and their versions with respect to Fedora and CentOS. The reason behind this is to help a friend of mine choose where CentOS or Fedora is appropriate for his analog and characterisation team. Hence I've setup this page which I hope will migrate to our new website, currently under design by Fedora Design Team. The choice of Fedora or CentOS depends on the features and bug fixes on the EDA tools. But at the same time (Since we maintain those FEL packages for EPEL-5 repository), this html will also reflect the critical path in packaging for a particular design flow and which packages really needs to be updated or rebuilt. http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/list.html It was also once asked to publish a list of FEL packages. Well maintenance of that list is a blocker. This HTML generated automatically solves this issue. I've uploaded the sources of the scripts to our FEL git repository, however if someone can improve them it would be great :) This html file already provides enough qualitative information that satisfies many fields.From Spin maintainer to Ambassador. regards, Chitlesh -- Chitlesh GOORAH Fedora Electronic Lab Architect http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL

[Fedora-electronic-lab] geda 1.5.4 test packages
by Chitlesh GOORAH 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hello there, gEDA-gaf's upstream will from now on produce one-big tarball instead of individual tarballs as it used to do in the past. This affects fedora's geda packages and packaging process. In accordance to Fedora packaging process the following tasks ought to be made: * file a new package review for gEDA-gaf * obsolete all existing fedora geda packages The challenge here is how to get users update their system flawlessly. I have produced test packages which I sincerely hope to receive some feedbacks as this will dictate the time taken before the next update will hit the stable repositories. For Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 users, please add to following to /etc/yum.repos.d/gedatest.repo # -------------- [gedatest] name=gEDA test - $releasever baseurl=http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/gEDA/$releasever enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 # -------------- for fedora 10 users with: * 32 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.i386 --enablerepo=gedatest * 64 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.x86_64 --enablerepo=gedatest for fedora 11 users with: * 32 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.i586 --enablerepo=gedatest * 64 bit machines : yum install gEDA-gaf.x86_64 --enablerepo=gedatest Looking forward for some feedbacks Cheers, Chitlesh
