Fedora Package Reviews and a few tips
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
Since the topic of delays in package reviews has come up a few times, I
wanted to add a few tips:
The important link to bookmark is
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/
You can also subscribe to
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
First, let me explain how you can contribute:
* Anyone can unofficial reviews of any package waiting in the review
queue. Unofficial reviews are reviews where you just add comments but
don't assign the review to yourself. You don't need to be a even a
package maintainer for that
* Any package maintainer can do official review of any packages of any
other package maintainer. First time, non sponsored potential package
maintainer need a sponsor to do the official review but again, anyone
can do unofficial reviews.
If you are planning to post reviews and want to get them done quickly:
* Post your review requests to fedora-devel list and offer to swap, ex:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-December/msg00804....
* Find people in the community who share common interests, for example,
spins and SIG (Special Interest groups) listed in the wiki are good places.
* Feel free to post to this list or cc this list on your review requests
as well.
* Maintain a presence in irc, esp #fedora-devel and #fedora-india. It
helps to talk to people.
* When someone does do a review, try and respond quickly. If you have a
history of responding quickly, more people would be interested in your
review requests.
Hope that helps.

Alright. Great. Since the list is copied on these discussions, they can
suggest alternative/better names for the list as well.

List migration and fedora-india list
by Rahul Sundaram
To infrastructure team,
As noted in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-December/msg000...,
fedora-india list is moving from redhat.com to lists.fedoraproject.org
and the new location will be indian-users(a)lists.fp.o
Although this is good for consistency, when I created this list, it was
never intended to be a end user focussed list and the focus is on
discussions between contributors. Unlike, other user lists, the
discussions are in English and not in the native tongues (because we
have so many different languages) and there is not much of a benefit to
having a user specific regional list. IMO, it is better to name it
something like indian-community(a)lists.fp.o
Copying fedora-india list for other opinions.

Fedora India : Meet on 20th Sunday? 1130 AM IST?
by Ankur Sinha
hi,
We are trying to hold regular meetings every fortnight. The last was on
the 6th of Dec and didn't see much participation.
Please be there on the 20th at 1130AM for another fedora-india meeting
on #fedora at Freenode.
Agenda:
- New folks on the team can introduce themselves
- Questions/queries to be discussed.
- If there are people interested in learning RPM packaging, I could take
a quick hands on session for font packages to get them started (like
mether had done a year or so ago to get me started ;) )
We can post the logs to our blogs etc. to help other people as well.
- Any more people interested in taking fedora-india specific sessions, (even marketing etc)?
- If there are people who'd like guidance on how to contribute, they
should use this opportunity.
I request folks who are already contributors (and pats of various teams)to be present to help the
newbies (hiemanshu, mbuf, etc). (Please also put your hand up if you'd
like to take a mini session)
I'd request newbies to *please* be present and not to let this chance go
waste.
I'd also like to know what you rates you folks pay for getting media
mass pressed. I enquired at a site and have been given 27/dvd for 500
copies and 32/dvd for 300 copies[1]. Comments?
Please add more to the agenda.
REMINDER : folks whose blogs are not yet on the planet, please add them
asap[2]
regards,
Ankur
PS - I've already discussed the hands on with Shakti briefly. I'm
sticking to fedora-india because a session on classrooms will require a
lot of depth. This hands on is just intended as a quick starter.
