Request: port syslinux isohybrid perl script to C
by Matt Domsch
I'll file a ticket once fedorahosted is back online.
The request is to port the isohybrid script, in the syslinux package,
from perl to C (and of course submit it upstream). This would let
syslinux drop its dependency on perl, which would save considerable
space.
$ wc -l git/syslinux/utils/isohybrid.in
258 git/syslinux/utils/isohybrid.in
As this is doing some simple structure unpacking and validation, and
simple binary writes, this should be straightforward to implement in
C.
Thanks,
Matt

I'd also like to see the removal of the requirement of perl (via perl
scripts in syslinux) as it added about 10% to the F-12 test LiveCDs I
did off Moblin. Anaconda uses a single of these scripts and only for
the creation of hybrid boot cds (see bugs 544136 and 559644 ), This is
also relevant for the Sugar on a Stick spin as well. Its the last dep
remaining on perl in both those spins (and I suspect the desktop spins
as well).

SIG status?
by Jon Stanley
[lots of folks BCC'ed]
This is an email being sent to all SIG's that are listed on the SIG
page on the wiki. I'm trying to find the individual that's the
"leader" of the SIG in order to avoid spamming mailing lists, but
sometimes, that's what is necessary.
I'm writing on behalf of the Fedora Engineering Service, a new group
within Fedora that acts on items submitted by FESCo that general
volunteers are not likely to accomplish because either they are more
administrative in nature, or there is a general disinterest in doing
it, generally because it's seen as "boring". The task that I am now
engaged in falls within that category :).
As FESCo has responsibility for SIG oversight in Fedora, I'm supposed
to figure out where each SIG stands in terms of their activities in
Fedora. Specifically, we have a few questions that we'd like answered
by each SIG leader:
1) Is your SIG still active? (if no, skip the remainder of the
questions, unless you feel that it could be active again, if only for
not having resources, etc)
2) Would your SIG be so kind as to provide monthly status reports to
either FESCo or the 'devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org' mailing list?
Think of this not as a bureaucratic measure being imposed on you, but
more as what I call a "force multiplier" - a way to bring to the
forefront of the larger Fedora community what your SIG is doing and
why they might want to get involved in it.
3) Are there any resources that other teams in Fedora could provide
(design work for something, marketing outreach, documentation people,
IRC channel, mailing list - whatever you can think of, really) that
would be beneficial to your SIG?
Thanks for your time!
-Jon, for FES
NOTE - I'll be compiling responses in the publicly available FES
ticket - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/2
- let me know if you don't want that and would rather I shared the
results with FESCo directly.

Self-introduction
by Michel Alexandre Salim
Hello all,
My name is Michel Alexandre Salim; I'm currently a researcher at the
university of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and a Fedora proven
packager & sponsor. Looking to expand my Fedora work beyond packaging,
and the one-off jobs that Fedora Engineering Services is contracting
to do seems ideal (plus, at work I'd soon be concentrating on
enterprise-level code, and so I'd need to do something on the side to
keep my Unix knowledge up-to-date).
Resumé posted here, as instructed:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Salimma/FESResume
Looking forward to working with people on this list,

Hello all,
My name is Jose. I have been involved with fedora for sometime. I am a
fast learner and love to do challenging work. I have experience with
system administration and development at various levels. I currently do
a lot of work integrating dissimilar systems. With the help of messaging
buses and webservices I understand an unknown system and then make
webservices for them so that they can be successfully integrated together.
