Introduction
by Abiel Mogos
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!!

Various Calendars
by Tareq Al Jurf
Is there a way that we can add new calendars to be available as system
optional calendars
the two important calendars i'm thinking about are:
1- Hijri (Islamic) Calendar -- widely used in all Islamic Countries
2- Indian National Calendar -- widely used in India

20:05 < J5> moksha built successfully, not sure if Fedora Community will since it requires moksha
20:05 < jcollie> mostly what is left is some testing, plus a pretty front end
20:06 < jcollie> there are commands on asterisk2 to start/stop streaming and recording but you need to be in sysadmin-tools for that
20:06 < J5> mmcgrath: how do I deal with fedora communities build requirement for moksha?
20:07 < jcollie> plus we need to write down the process for transferring recordings to alt

20:09 < mmcgrath> ah, very cool.
20:09 < jcollie> i think that's about it unless anyone has questions
20:09 < mmcgrath> any questions?
20:10 < mmcgrath> alrighty
20:10 < jcollie> oh yeah we need to review the updated docs and then make them live
20:10 < mmcgrath> yeah that's a good bonus too
20:10 < mmcgrath> #topic qpid is up and running in staging
20:10 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: qpid is up and running in staging (Meeting topic: Infrastructure)

20:15 < mmcgrath> J5: <nod> we do need to set up a time for that.
20:16 < mdomsch> mmcgrath, I'd love to see messages when content is pushed to the master mirrors by rel-eng
20:16 < mdomsch> another when the netapps are back in sync
20:16 < mdomsch> :-)
20:16 < mmcgrath> <nod>

20:18 < mmcgrath> sounds good to me.
20:18 < mmcgrath> Does anyone have anything else they'd like to discuss?
20:18 < mmcgrath> If not we'll close a bit early so we can get ready for our updates
20:19 < J5> mdomsch: can you start a list on wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Messaging_SIG ?

Suitability of Python for daemon processes
by Ben Boeckel
-----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?

Mass update to RHEL-5.4
by Stephen John Smoogen
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.
