mirrormanager causes python error
by Thomas Lenggenhager
Hi
I succeeded in adding my host. However, now I can no longer access
mirror.switch.ch I added. When I request
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/14
I always get the following error page:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from
fulfilling the request.

Thanks for fixing it.
For the Country field, some guidance would be helpful. Full English
Name, two letter ISO code or what to use?
In addition to allowed countries you could also add something like
world-region or continent to group the entries, when the list grows.
Africa, Asia - Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America.
Otherwise, the interface is pretty straight forward to use.
Regards,
Thomas
BTW: I tried to use an accented character in the comments field. That
caused also a Python error. So I removed it again.
I wanted to write 'On Internet2 & GÉANT2' and now I only wrote 'On
Internet2 & GEANT' without accent on the E. That works.

Google Summer of Code Project
by ROBERT KROMER
Hello Fedora Infrastructure members, I am planning on applying to the Fedora project through the Google Summer of Code program. I am interested in taking on the "Web infrastructure to help pup and puplet" suggestion. However, before I fully commit and write the project proposal I was wondering if I could scrape up some more information about what is wanted. Are we talking overhauling pup/puplet to create a nicer interface/more informative notification system or just the infrastructure to support it? Some information on the current setup would be helpful as well so I can write a very exact proposal.
Thanks for your time!

Smolt deployment
by Mike McGrath
This is mostly for the TurboGears guys in the group. We've discussed
this a little in the past but I wanted to get something down for sure
before all of our stuff goes live. Whats going to be our official
deployment method? Personally I'd vote mod_python though I haven't
actually done this yet. Does using mod_python still require a proxypass
to a tg port? I'd tend towards mod_python just because it would behave
just like the rest of our apps do though I know toshio has some neat
script that makes it behave that way too. What do you guys think?
mod_python may be too complex for what we're trying to accomplish.

FAS Frontpage: Confusion Reduction
by Warren Togami
I was just attempt to walk through a RH engineer through the FAS account
creation process.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/
This page is confusing to a new visitor because the action links on the
left and right distract from the important stuff in the center.
In the long-term, we need to put some thought into improving the user
interface experience across the entire infrastructure.
But in the short-term, this page would be less confusing if the side
bars were just removed. That way nothing distracts from the center
content. This should be a simple change to the CSS.
Mike, could you take care of this quick change?
For my own reference so I can make changes like this later myself...
Where is this in CVS?
Where is this in production?

Smolt I18N
by Jeffrey Ollie
I've started working on internationalization for Smolt. It's not ready
to commit to the main smolt repository, as it's not complete and I'm
sure I've committed some boneheaded mistakes because I've never done any
internationalizing of code before. I've set up a separate Mercurial
repository here. You can access it through the web here:
http://hg.ocjtech.us/smolt-i18n
or check out a copy of the code:
hg clone http://hg.ocjtech.us/smolt-i18n

Self-Introduction: Kostas Georgiou
by Kostas Georgiou
Never had to do this before but here it is....
I am a Unix sysadmin since ~1995 although it's almost exclusively
Linux (RHEL/Fedora) for quite some time now. In my day job I am
managing a few hundred machines, mainly HPC related but also
web/email/nfs/db/dns/dhcp/kerberos/ldap/+WhateverTheUsersRequireThisWeek.
I'll be more than happy to help with anything really :). From a
look at the schedules page Config Management is interesting (I
am already using puppet in my day job) but everything else seems
interesting as well :)
Cheers,
Kostas

Introduction
by John Saalwaechter
Hello all,
My name is John Saalwaechter. I'm a long-time RH/Fedora user (since
1995). I do unix sysadmin and systems engineering work in
Indianapolis, with a primary focus on Linux since 1999. I concentrate
on HPC Linux clusters and systems integration for a large research
environment.
I saw the request for FI help recently, and I'm interested in getting
involved. For testing I've got access to basic PCs plus VMware. I
looked through the FI schedule, and the yum delta rpm project looks
intriguing to me.
Cheers,
John

intro
by Jason
Hi gang, my name is Jason Taylor, I have been using RH/Fedora for a
while now (RH 5.x) and while not nearly as competent as most folks on
this list, I would like to do what I can to give back to something that
has helped me immensely. I have been around *nix for about 10 years and
have worked on Solaris/AIX/various Linux flavors in that time (network
admin type stuff), also at one time fancied myself a competent CNE
(Netware) have also been a network admin for some sizable MS networks
(ugh). I have also done some Cisco router/switch installs/config. I
enjoy the security aspect of network administration,
SSL/Firewalls/PGP/data encryption. I don't have any programming
experience per se, I have just hacked stuff to do what I needed it to
when the occasion arose.
So, that all being said point me in a direction and if I can help I will
be more than happy to.

CIA - The open source informant
by Dimitris Glezos
Hey all.
I happened to notice that Fedora is not one of the projects reported at
http://cia.navi.cx/.
Basically, it's an open-source notification system: it collects events from SCMs
(via email or XMLRPC) and reports them on the page (RSS) and on the IRC via a bot.
How about adding Fedora there? It should be as simple as adding a (ready-made)
script on our SCMs [1]. Seems that Bugzilla and Trac clients are on their way.
