Ok. Looks like this one _may_ fulfill our calendering needs. Testing required.

Hi, I am quite "frightened" to take up this topic again and again lest you all be bored. But interestingly, this one http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/calender/ can fulfill all our requisites. But, I don't use a calender on my phone, so I never used remote export/import etc. And no surprise that I shall not be able to test it fully. So, if someone who is familiar with these help me out, it will be nice. Thanks.

Introduction
by Abiel Mogos 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hello guys, I am Abiel Mogos, new to the "Fedora infrastructure-list" and looking forward to contribute to the Fedora Project. I am a student in Fairfield (GMT-5), Iowa, studying "Masters in computer science". Though its not consistent, I have used Fedora Core for about 4 years. I have worked on a I18n project (in the University of Asmara) for localizing Fedora to a local language: Tigrinya. I was mainly dealing with L10n of Firefox and Thunderbird. However, now I would like to contribute to this community in particular in writing code. I have some knowledge of Java (and currently studying another course in Java) and Perl, I would say I'm good at PHP. On the other hand, its really motivating to be part of a team of software professionals and gain experience and enjoy the high spirit of 'sharing' among the community of contributors. Cheers!! Abiel

Suitability of Python for daemon processes
by Ben Boeckel 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I am working on a project designed to mirror large, changing archives of software in a manner that ensures data integrity and atomic updates using a peer-to-peer protocol. My team and I would like to design this software such that it provides a suitable replacement for rsync. As Fedora is among the leading distributions, I would like to solicit your opinions on the implementation. We have designed much of the architecture, but have not implemented anything yet. One issue we wish to address currently is that of interpreted vs. compiled languages. My team and I would like to know whether the community would be accepting of such a project (which includes a daemon) if it were written in Python rather than C or C++. If so, it would greatly simplify the implementation and allow it to be more robust. Python's built-in libraries and facilities provide much of the path and network manipulation that the daemon requires. Using the Python standard libraries allows us to rely upon a well-tested base and focus on higher-level issues. What are your opinions, as system administrators, on using Python for long-running daemon processes when the developers are explicitly mindful of memory considerations? - --Ben Boeckel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJK5M22AAoJEKaxavVX4C1XwQcQAMfGLeQiWSwz67WZ0BkuURUf Nlb/mHcXvR4toR0p90+LLuzOhnXhcifzXFby9URdERcS8fSbUsI8L+6WyviYjC8k WGBlIEabIO82kIU/BIuV2yQyCxbPWPTIv5qhB6oUMmzjteBWDmjXjWFyDnhUtyPG K3GeJC0W/b0pN8BzByNndvh+eBR6/IBEPTC7CMaxx/Pyj8092D6dtDLxyFs9+ozF NmfHERFcoPuh8InpS/IYXMlEGj5QJwsuUidZ8xlxXgI7CsmRi3iq26jVAP5uMXUa ffv2y9k5bHtBlLQ4/0cvSlCdSz41zRxwsTIAH3uKQv3fG6AZa0ZA4IWO2C6PPLal rUHtGUP5p1OHOyrMf3ZW9g2L3hcTBhsBOT/F50CHuu9lhLaEP4CJ3T6Tk8iAbbfT yCbyMn73gPlvYZf6VHuCt4jz4lDpp6Ucch6Ujra7yW5IL72+0Gcy8Z+dzja7STz9 G0FR+7KHX6GHaWzyF9XudkPfHUHoM2bw21JEbVS5FCGu0o+SrUlmAJR1x5bMZ8ck ++SDotXMG5LwJdMNbbud2XTOpr2eujkKZFHZltp3e4EiiPGrgcUGv9XQb+JJmDQ+ wa6+T2EpEmQKTuRK410EbNnw87eXELlVwtWa1GnsJTdIuUzZup21quTTdC/z+Sik 2764+MNdS6eurUJP5fe4 =kumw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mass update to RHEL-5.4
by Stephen John Smoogen 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Since the last mass update, we have had RHEL-5.4 and a bunch of security updates come out... so its time to do another mass update before the Fedora-12 freeze. Here is an updated list of systems and in the order they should be updated. Due to updates in xen we should update the xen servers also. 1) Check with releng that a system is in their critical path. 2) Update/rebuild system puppet1 is FIRST (eg puppets xen hardware, other xen guests) 3) Update/rebuild database servers NEXT so logins etc work 4) Do non-local systems Next. ---------------------------------- List of systems to be updated in order of updates. xen14: app1 xen14: bapp1 xen14: cvs1 xen14: fas2 xen14: puppet1 xen14 -------------------------------- bu1: people1 ibiblio1: app5 ibiblio1: backup2 ibiblio1: ns2 ibiblio1: proxy4 ibiblio1: publictest1 ibiblio1: publictest2 ibiblio1: publictest3 ibiblio1: torrent1 ibiblio1 osuosl1: publictest6 osuosl1: publictest7 osuosl1: publictest8 osuosl1 serverbeach2: asterisk1 serverbeach2: collab1 serverbeach2: ns1 serverbeach2 serverbeach3: asterisk2 serverbeach3: collab2 serverbeach3 serverbeach4: hosted1 serverbeach5: hosted2 telia1: app6 telia1: noc2 telia1: proxy5 telia1: publictest14 telia1: publictest15 telia1: publictest16 telia1: smtp-mm1 tummy1: proxy3 tummy1: publictest10 -------------------------------- xen6: app7 xen6 xen10: log1 xen10: memcached2 xen10 xen9: sync1 xen9: app2.stg xen9: db1.stg xen9: memcached1 xen9: app2 xen9: proxy1.stg xen9 [CONFIRM APP2 IS UP AND RUNNING BEFORE GOING ON] -------------------------------- [Confirm INDIVIDUALLY with RELENG on CVS, ENG boxes] [CONFIRM WITH QA ON QA boxes] xen3: app4 xen3: cvs1.stg xen3: fas1.stg xen3: qa1 xen3: releng1.stg xen3: spin1 xen3: sync2 xen3 xen5: bastion2 xen5: fas1 xen5: kojipkgs1 xen5: noc1 xen5: proxy1 xen5: value1 xen5 xen1: koji1 xen1 xen7: compose-x862 xen7: proxy2 xen7: releng2 xen7: value2 xen7 xen11: secondary1 xen11 xen12: db1 xen12 xen15: RHEL5-mpm xen15: db2 xen15: koji1.stg xen15: relepel1 xen15: sign-bridge1 xen15 db3 xen2: koji2 xen2: nfs1 xen2: releng1 xen2: sign1 xen2 -- Stephen J Smoogen.
