Introduction
by Maxim Burgerhout
Hi all,
My name is Maxim Burgerhout and I would like to offer some of my spare
time to help out the Fedora Infrastructure Team a bit. I have been
using various flavors of Linux ever since Red Hat 6 (I think), though
not always as a professional. The last couple of years I have been
working as a Linux and virtualization consultant for a fairly large
organization in the Netherlands.
My experience with maintaining web- and build-servers is limited: I
mostly work with RHEL database servers etc., but I'm willing to invest
time to acquire the (possibly missing) skills I would need to help
out.
I think I have ample experience in writing shellscripts. I have also
done my share of Python programming and some Rails, PHP and Django
webdevelopment.
I really like Fedora and I am ready to start giving back. Also,
helping out the Infrastrucure Team would provide me with a base of
learning new skills, honing existing ones and meeting knowledgeable
people.
I'll drop by in #fedora-admin soon if that's okay. Feel free to ask me
stuff: my usual handle is wzzrd. I'm not sure what to put in this
e-mail, so if I'm missing something, please point it out and I'll fill
in the blanks.
Kind regards,
Maxim Burgerhout

Re: [FOSDEM'10] Community infrastructure talk
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
That's all nice and dandy, but not much of a topic to discuss no matter what your thoughts are.
When it concerns how and through what mirror your data is available to your consumers you also have entirely different motives compared to making sure your *own* infrastructure runs fashionably well.
If it were up to me, I have zero interest in discussing this specific topic presented as such.

20:04 < mmcgrath> there's still a great deal of work to do though.
20:05 < mmcgrath> smooge: you have anything to add to that?
20:06 < smooge> we have to get a list of whats left over.. and move over various IPs from old space to new one
20:06 < mmcgrath> smooge: yeah
20:06 < mmcgrath> there's lots of documentation to do.
20:07 < mmcgrath> so that's really it.
20:07 < smooge> many of the subzones are looking fro wildcard.fedoraproject.org which isn't up/listed in PHX2 when I looked on tuesday
20:07 < smooge> working on documenting racks and cabling
20:07 < mmcgrath> yeah

20:08 < sspreitzer> hello everyone
20:08 < sspreitzer> I have received an email from the ambassadors and gerold kassube
20:08 < sspreitzer> you might know him
20:09 < sspreitzer> that an ISP in Tunis has gotten hold of an IBM p510
20:09 < sspreitzer> and it should act as a mirror for Fedora Project
20:10 < sspreitzer> i currently work for IBM
20:10 < sspreitzer> so I have been inquired because those guys want additional hdd for the p510
20:11 -!- JSchmitt [n=s4504kr@fedora/JSchmitt] has quit Remote closed the connection
20:11 < sspreitzer> the thing is, the system has 2 bays left
20:11 < sspreitzer> and the hdd parts options are not huge
20:12 < sspreitzer> so its internally ultra wide scsi 320
20:12 < sspreitzer> and the biggest disk is 146 GB
20:12 < sspreitzer> one disk costs abt. 650 USD
20:12 < smooge> hi sspreitzer
20:12 < sspreitzer> I wanted to know what your guys opinion is on that
20:12 < sspreitzer> hey smooge
20:13 < smooge> well currently the fedora complete is just over 1TB in size to mirror.
20:13 < sspreitzer> mine is; too expensive parts, better sell the p510 and buy intel/amd stuff from it
20:14 < sspreitzer> ok
20:14 < sspreitzer> smooge, what if you only mirror the media?
20:14 < smooge> so they would want to mirror small amounts.
20:14 < mmcgrath> sspreitzer: sorry this really isn't the place, #fedora-admin would probably be better for that stuff.
20:14 < sspreitzer> okay?
20:15 < mmcgrath> Ok, so it sounds like nothing else meeting related... :)
20:15 < mmcgrath> I'll close the meeting in 30 seconds.

[FOSDEM'10] Community infrastructure talk
by Frederic Hornain
Dear *,
Would someone be interested to make a talk on Fedora Community
infrastructure at FOSDEM'10 - Belgium -?
- FedoraCommunity, opensourced LaunchPad, Bugzilla extensions, etc...
BTW, as the rule have changed at FOSDEM, you will do your talk with other
distributions on the same subject.
Thanks for your time and your help.
Best Regards
Frederic ;)

SOP creation made easier
by Mel Chua
Since we were directly inspired to create the Marketing SOPs by seeing
how much good it's done Infrastructure to have them, I thought I'd share
some back - we made a template and a SOP for making SOPs to make the
SOP-generation process itself easier on folks who might not want to
spend a lot of time on wiki editing.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Creating_a_Marketing_SOP
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Marketing_SOP
They're both marketing-specific at the moment, but could be cloned for
Infrastructure in a few minutes.
Another way to make it even easier to make SOPs would be to use
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox, which would give you a
text field with a button next to it; if you type a title into the text
field and hit the button, it throws you straight into the Edit page for
a new page with that title, with a template you prespecify already in
there. If someone wants to implement that extension, I'd be happy to do
the wiki work needed to document/use it for various types of
pages-that-should-be-easy-to-create once the extension is installed.

One of the projects we have between now and Alpha is to document how to
create each of our primary release deliverables in the form of a SOP[0].
You can see our current SOPs here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Marketing_SOPs#How_to_contribute. Some
are more polished than others.
Of course, I had to start by making a SOP on how to make SOPs. :)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Creating_a_Marketing_SOP
It makes use of the (also new) Marketing SOP template,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Marketing_SOP. That template is
meant to be a suggestion/aide to make life easier, so don't feel
compelled to stick to it if you think a different format will work
better for you.

[0] Standard Operating Procedure - we used to call them "HOWTOs," but I
switched the term to be more consistent with the terminology other teams
use (specifically,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Infrastructure_SOPs). The HOWTO
pages have been redirected/recategorized to reflect this.

Post Move Stuff
by Mike McGrath
So the move itself is over but there is still a lot of work to be done.
At the moment some of our normally redundant services (koji, vpn) aren't
redundant. Also I'm pretty sure puppet is still failing on some hosts but
that we can fix at our own pace.
Also just a note, smooge and I are likely going to be in recovery mode the
next couple of days. So if something seems broken please open a ticket.
So what is left?
- We started renaming everything, we'll need to finish that (involves
renames, re-keying things, etc)
- New network map. We went from essentially having a single network to
having 3 networks:
- A build network
- A storage network
- A public network
- Training on one of our new server types, bxen*. These hosts are
dedicated to build and releng activities. This was done for a couple
of reasons, most of which are organizational. It will also allow us to
more easily predict growth needs for the buildsystem in the future.
- Figure out what to do about proxy servers in PHX2. We can go a load
balancer route or a heartbeat route but I'm not totally convinced we
need two proxy servers in PHX2 like we had in PHX1 though, because of
the way network routing still works we'll have to figure out something
HA
- QA - The new QA boxes are ready to be configured, I'll be working with
jlaska on this. It's the first kind of hosted by Infrastructure but
not really run by infrastructure set of boxes. Similar to how the
releng boxes work but the QA team is less close to Infrastructure then
release engineering is. This will involve training and some new
policies.
- Host certification - this is something I've been working on but not
enacted yet. Mostly a solid lookover everything based on a recent CSI
doc.
http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/host-lifecycle-policy/en-US/h...
In some organizations this the certification process will help bring
about accountability. For us it's more about knowing what's going on,
it's not like if someone accidentally certifies a box wrong they'll be
in trouble but in our case a second pair of eyes will help. Even in
the first trial run I did with smooge he discovered something I missed.
There's also a lot of little things to do, especially with verifying
things like IPTables and monitoring.

Marketing Infrastructure projects, update 2009-12-15
by Mel Chua
Since a substantial portion of what Marketing is working on between now
and Alpha (March 2) is getting infrastructure/tools up so we can do our
work efficiently for the rest of the cycle, here's a quick update on our
two big marketing-related infrastructure projects, also sent to
Logistics for cross-team goodness (and mayyybe packaging help? maybe?).
Project 1: Zikula
This is for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight (which
includes FWN, and will be largely reusable for Docs), and progress is
being tracked on the logistics list,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics.
We are currently (still) on publictest6. We want to have soft-launched
on production by Alpha (March 3).
Simon has an overview of the remaining work that needs to be done before
we can be puppetized
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000303.html).
He's also updated the "how to set up a zikula sandbox" instructions,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_Zikula_sandbox.
We are blocked by final fixes to the theme (design/CSS help needed!)
which will then need to be packaged, as well as licensing issues with
Scribite
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000301.html)
but it looks like the interaction between Fedora and Zikula folks is
beginning to snowball
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000302.h....
I'd like to see if we can get packagers + upstream on IRC at the same
time to just Work Out these licensing issues at one go, because asynch
communication is Very Slow.
After those blockers are out, I *think* we'll be go for puppetizing.
Project 2: Limesurvey
This is for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_research#Infrastructure, and
seems like it should be relatively straightforward (but then again,
that's what I thought for zikula...) Robyn Bergeron and Ryan Rix are
driving this from the Marketing side of things, but I'm temporarily
stepping in for Ryan since he's afk for exams this week.
As far as I know, there's only one package involved in this (limesurvey)
which is still under review
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508817). It *sounds* from
the comments like it should be done and ready for approval, but a
reviewer (*coughIancough* is needed).
In the meantime, I tried installing the latest SRPM from Eric (Sparks)
on pt6, and failboated, details here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_limesurvey_sandbox#Install....
Once the package is approved and installed on pt6, I *think* that's all
we'll need (we might want to change the logo, but that's trivial and I
really can't think of anything else atm).
In the meantime-meantime, because we need to get the FUDCon survey up
yesterday, we're giving limeservice $10 to host a 250-response survey
for us so we can start administering that survey tomorrow. That means
we'll have a db ready to migrate whenever our limesurvey instance goes
up, plus people with familiarity administering limesurvey software via
the web interface (some of us, myself included, have used it before and
know the rudiments).
Questions? Comments? Am I missing something? (Is this helpful?)
