hi, i newly joined fedora infrastructure group
by p sena
Hi,
I am new to the fedora infrastructure group. I am going throug few of the links in the site to get a feel of the work. I have submitted my .ssh_rsa_key.pub from the site. I think I will get some intimation on this. Please someone can let me know further proceedings from here onwards.
Cheers.

hosts for rawhide build chroots - different rpm versions?
by Axel Thimm
Hi,
AFAIK the build hosts are RHEL5 (or maybe F10 by now?). At any rate
the rpm used in rawhide is quite different than the ones from the
hosts, how has this been solved in the build hosts? Has the hosting OS
upgraded its rpm to be compatible to all hosted chroots? Or is the rpm
within the chroot used?
I'm asking in a double context: First I'd like to understand if smart
can properly handle chroots of rawhide/F11 on F10/RHEL5 hosts. Anders
Björklund (in the Cc, please keep him there on replies) has put a
great deal of effort to have smart working on F10 and F11, and a smart
version for managing F11 and later chroots on F10 or earlier would be
great.
And second I'd like to know how to setup a build environment for F11
for getting some ATrpms packages out.
Thanks!

Re: FAD -- startin' early
by Paul W. Frields
I constructed a page on the wiki for an upcoming FAD where some
contributors are going to work on some long-standing Fedora Talk
related tickets. Details are here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Fedora_Talk_2009
There's a list of related tickets on the page, namely #s 309, 395,
453, and 1160, that we're going to try to knock out that weekend.
To a large extent they're duplicates, but they all revolve around
extending the Fedora Talk capabilities.
We're going to be conversing on this list since obviously the work's
primarily, maybe even wholly, infrastructure-related. Below is a bit
of introductory email from last night that I wanted to make sure was
captured transparently here.
Comments follow...

You know what would work really well? A package with a dogtail
script, that used the appropriate HTML tags so that PackageKit can
download dogtail and deps for you, then run the script. You can
actually see things running and therefore know how to do it later.
(Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Dogtail has got a lot of recent
love. It's been consistently rebuilt but I'm not sure it works, which
is a shame -- it's really useful and it took me just a few minutes to
learn how to write a script for Dogtail.)
I do agree that's not something we should worry about until everything
else gets done, or if anyone in the listening audience is keen on it,
that might make a cool project through which you could learn a *lot*
about being involved in Fedora.

Our location is set right now to be a coworking office in the area.
I'll find out more network details to see what they can support,
although I suspect they aren't blocking much there. I can even stop
by the facility early next week to do any testing, if someone can tell
me what I need to test.

Cool idea, Jeff.

OK, any participants who don't have a USB headset they can bring
should let me know.

I'd say no, it's really all about what we're doing on the server(s)
and softphones should be fine. But I yield to the experts...

Noted. You may not see this until then, and that's fine.

FAD Fedora Talk tech items
by Paul W. Frields
Two tech items I wanted to clear up for Fedora Talk FAD:
First, qe discussed earlier using softphones for consistency and less
equipment-lugging. Didn't hear any votes against so that's all we're
planning at this point. It also makes sense to concentrate on that
use because the majority of people using Fedora Talk are likely using
softphones.
Second, network setup at the site. I talked to the owner of the
office we'll be using and he says they have a wide-open wireless,
*and* a wired connection we can feel free to use which is the same
thing their wireless plugs into. I'm going to scoot over there on
Friday if I can, and test how things work with a softphone. I didn't
get any hints from anyone on what special tests I needed to do beyond
trying to hook up to Fedora Talk and make and receive a call, so
that's all I plan to do unless someone tells me otherwise.

FAD Fedora Talk -- IRC, to-do
by Paul W. Frields
I'd like to get conversations going on exactly *how* we plan to attack
the list of things to do for the FAD. The game plan is here -- many
thanks to John, who already got us rolling with a planning page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Fedora_Talk_2009_game_plan
We've got four tickets -- probably with a bunch of duplication between
them -- that we want to clear out as primary targets. Then there are
an assortment of some possibly related bits we can hit as time allows.
I sort of braindumped how those targets map out. I'd like attendees
to look at this list and comment on each point -- what's done already?
What still needs to be built? What, in your opinion, is the best way
of doing it?
If we can answer those questions *now*, we'll spend less time
discussing at the FAD, and more time *doing*. I'll capture the
discussion to the wiki as we find answers, so we can easily refer to
it later.
* Record calls
* Stream calls
* Publish the recording (to a meetbot-like web area?)
* Add moderation features that support larger audiences
* Build pieces that allow users to set these features either in
advance (Web UI) or on-demand/interactively (e.g. "#8" = start
recording)
I'd also like to suggest that everyone attending get on IRC Freenode
#fedora-fad now, so we can do easy one-off conversation there for
trivial matters, and continue to capture strategies here and on the
wiki. We'll be using that IRC channel for the FAD itself later.

Looking for people who need guests.
by Mike McGrath
I'm looking to put some load on our new cloud environment. This is a
pre-pre-pre type setup. The guests will go up, they'll go down. You know
the deal. You'll only have this guest for a month or so but if you think
you could use a guest, let me know. Because right now the guests aren't
actually doing work.
