Thanks Jens.
I'm glad to see that people are finally picking up on this.
I'm CCing this to infrastructure, hopefully they can create a list.

Dial-in
by Paul W. Frields
The Board would like to set up a "town hall" style meeting for our first
meeting in March, if possible. (The timeline is not strict, but I'd
like to be able to start telling the community our actual timeline very
soon.) We'd like to support call-ins so people can hear the Board's
meeting publicly. I have no idea how many people would actually show up
to listen, but let's assume it's in the 50-100 range, and maybe we're
nearly right.
Can we support this with our current Asterisk setup in Fedora?

Fwd: fedora-web, live and git
by Christos Trochalakis
Hello there,
I saw the other day ivazquez's blog post[0] and a "make push"[1]
addition by ricky concerning git handling of the fedora-web repo. They
both use rebase before pushing.
Our scenario -correct me if I'm wrong- is that we want to mark as live
a specific commit in the master development history.
live master
---a----b----c---d
git-rebase is to "forward-port *local* commits to the updated upstream
head" (git help rebase). Since there are not any local commits to be
rebased in our tree it might make more sense to use git merge instead.
A little example usecase, we want to do some fedora-web development:
git co master
<edit files, coding, etc>
git commit -m 'foo'
<edit files, coding, etc>
git commit -m 'bar'
'bar' commit adds some experimental stuff, we dont want it to be in
our web servers. On the other hand 'foo' is ready to go live. We just
have to merge it into our live branch:
$git co live (go to live branch)
$git merge master~1 (merge master~1 into current branch)
At this point the history looks like this:
live master
---a----b----c---d----foo-----bar
$git push (push both master and live to the central repo)
$git co master (return to master to continue developing)
ps: "merge" word can be confusing. In our scenario git merge doesn't
produce a merge commit since "live" shares the same devel line with
master (what we do is a fast-forward merge).

Meetings
by Mike McGrath
Welp, the last 2 thursdays were busy enough that I forgot to start both
meetings. In fairness I don't think anyone really missed it as no one
pinged me to see if we were starting :)
So I'll ask, is there another time that works for everyone? We can
certainly re-schedule the meeting times. Anyone not like the current time
slot?
I think one thing that gets most of us is that during day light savings,
it changes. It seems most people would prefer it to be about an hour
later right now.
Thoughts?

torrent tracker/primary seed software
by Seth Vidal
So,
we're setting up the new torrent tracker and we're debating which
tracker software to use.
bittorrent: 5.2.0 - released in nov 2007 - it's the last open source
version b/c apparently the authors got greedy and stupid.
It's not painfully out of date, though and it would be
relatively to setup and shift over to it.
ctorrent: theoretically being maintained and theoretically capable of
being a tracker. It doesn't seem to have any nice
initscripts. And the configuration for additional trackers
looks more convulted than might otherwise be desired. Welcome
to suggestions on initscripts, etc
rtorrent: not obvious this is a tracker at all. It looks more like an
ncurses-based client. Subpar for our usage.
In case anyone is unclear what our usage is. We use the torrent
tracker/seed as a simple server. We drop files in a directory and they
are available on the tracker. It logs what went where and lets us get
data out of it about how many things have been downloaded and from
where.
Open to suggestions about better tracker software to use. Requirements:
1. must be free software
2. must log/record stats
3. must act sensibly
Thanks!

nagios config for mirrorlist monitoring
by Chuck Anderson
I thought people here might be interested in my nagios config for
checking the output of the mirrorlist CGI.

Subject: netblock mirror not showing up for Fedora 8

My netblock mirror still isn't showing up for just the Fedora 8
updates and updates-testing repos, all archs. Everything else is
coming up fine (Fedora 7 updates, Fedora 7 updates-testing, Rawhide,
Fedora 7 and 8 base releases).
These are the "bad" queries that don't return my netblock mirror:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f8&arch...
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f8&arch...
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f8&arch...
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f8&arch...

http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-f8&arch=ppc
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-f8&arch=...
I wrote a bit of nagios configuration that checks the mirrorlist
results. Here are the checkcommands.cfg definitions:
# 'check_fedora_mirrorlist' command definition
#
# Checks Fedora Project's mirrorlist redirector for a specific mirror
# URL.
#
define command {
command_name check_fedora_mirrorlist
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u '/mirrorlist?repo=$ARG1$&arch=$ARG2$' -l -R '^$ARG3$'
}
# 'check_fedora_mirrorlist_netblock' command definition
#
# Checks Fedora Project's mirrorlist redirector for a specific mirror
# URL using a preferred netblock entry. Ideally, this would check for
# the URL as the immediate next line after "Using preferred netblock"
# but I couldn't figure out how to embed a newline in the regex in the
# nagios config file.
#
define command {
command_name check_fedora_mirrorlist_netblock
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u '/mirrorlist?repo=$ARG1$&arch=$ARG2$' -l -R 'Using preferred netblock.*$ARG3$'
}
And here is how you use it in the hosts.cfg file (netblock check):
#
# Fedora mirrorlist service
#
define host {
host_name mirrors.fedoraproject.org
parents internet
use generic-host
alias mirrors.fedoraproject.org
address mirrors.fedoraproject.org
}
#
# Fedora 8 updates-released
#
define service {
host_name mirrors.fedoraproject.org
use generic-service
service_description updates-released-f8 i386
check_command check_fedora_mirrorlist_netblock!updates-released-f8!i386!http://download...
}
