Lenovo T450s; Fedora 24 and keyboard backlight
by sankarshan 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

The keyboard backlight on my T450s seems to light up on interrupts. Fn+Spacebar turns it off again. However, that is a somewhat irksome thing. What should I be doing to ensure that the backlight is turned on when I choose to? On Fedora 23 this was never an issue. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan>

My suggestions: - Have people come up and speak on opportunities for women in the Fedora Project (and open source in general) - Showcase contributions by women in Fedora - Talk about this new Diversity group and how it'll help - Try to get college people (women profs, women students) attend the event - Collectively, I think we have contacts at MIT Pune, SICSR, COEP, Indira Instt of Tech -- there should be more that I forget / don't know of. - Similarly, talk to other women in our circles working close by in Magarpatta to check if they can come attend / talk if they have open source experience. It'll be great if proceedings are recorded in some way - video or text transcriptions, so that the message reaches a much wider audience than the one that's participating physically. Also, I expect most presenters to be male; will this send out a confusing message? Or, are there women members who can step up to the challenge and prepare material before the sessions? It's always better to have people who have done stuff talk about it rather than just highlighting someone else's achievements -- so hopefully this serves as a good launchpad for local women to actually start doing something so the next year's event is much better. > Waiting for more feedback from others on the thread :) BTW the Ambassadors won't be able to come up with budget, so if you need any, it'll be better to get the site team involved.

Applying For Fedora Ambassadors Program
by Sumantro Mukherjee 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I am Sumantro and I have been an intern at Red Hat working on tasks pertaining to Fedora QA. During my on-boarding I observed that there is a lack of well designed content available to anyone who wants to get started. So, I put together a draft plan and discussed with Sudhir to begin work on this. The first part of the plan was to produce content ready for publication into Fedora Magazine and other sites : [1]Blog http://sumantrom.blogspot.in/2016/03/getting-started-with-fedora-qa-series-… http://sumantrom.blogspot.in/2016/03/getting-started-with-fedora-qa-series-… http://sumantrom.blogspot.in/2016/04/getting-started-with-fedora-qa-series-… http://sumantrom.blogspot.in/2016/04/release-validation-testing-in-fedora-q… [2]DZone https://dzone.com/articles/fedora-update-testing-with-bodhi-fedora-qa https://dzone.com/articles/release-validation-testing-in-fedora-qa [3]C# Corner http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/fedora-update-testing-with-bodhi/ http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/release-validation-testing-in-fedora-q… [4]Red Hat Developer http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/05/06/fedora-update-testing-with-bod… http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/05/03/getting-started-with-release-v… http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/05/17/smart-light-with-arduino-in-fe… http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/04/26/fedora-media-writer-the-fastes… [5]Fedora Magazine https://fedoramagazine.org/release-validation-testing-fedora/ During these planning and discussions, Sankarshan has also participated in providing feedback and helping me to fine tune the plans to ensure a good participation in the test day [6]Test days https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2016-04-19_Fedora_Media_Writer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2016-05-16_Workstation_Graphical_Up… [7]Blog of a participant http://welinux.blogspot.in/2016/05/fedora-24-graphical-upgrade-test-day.html [8]Result page showing participation for Fedora Media Writer Testday http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/6 [9]Result page showing participation for Graphical Upgrade Testday http://testdays.fedorainfracloud.org/events/8 At present I am working together with a small group on interested participants and we have regular sessions (at the office where I am based out of) to facilitate a better and faster route to getting meaningful contributions. Other than this, my personal contribution include Release Validation testing [from Fedora 1.2 Alpha to 1.6 Beta and bunch of Nightlies] and Update Testing, taking charge of Test Days and hosting them ; at least once every month (gathering 40-50 testers each time),participating Cloud test day and i18n test day. I believe that this opportunity has provided me with a good understanding of the Project, the vision and our specific approach to produce good software while being excellent to one another. I am interested in applying to the Fedora Ambassadors program because I believe that I can align my work and focus to continue the goals of the program itself. I am looking forward to feedback and a possible connection with a mentor who can guide me.
