Outage Notification - 2010-01-13 22:00 UTC
by Mike McGrath 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

There will be an outage starting at 2010-01-13 22:00 UTC, which will last approximately 4 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2010-01-13 22:00 UTC' Affected Services: Fedora Hosted Unaffected Services: Buildsystem CVS / Source Control Database DNS Fedora People Fedora Talk Mail Mirror System Torrent Translation Services Websites Ticket Link: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1926 Reason for Outage: hosted1.fedoraproject.org (the primary fedorahosted host) has been throwing memory errors so we have a ticket open to fix it. There is a 4 hour window for them to work on it though it's not likely to be down that whole time so the actual outage should be much smaller. Contact Information: Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to track the status of this outage.

Introduction
by Frank Langbridge 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hello Well it has been about 6 months coming but here is my introduction email. My name is Frank and I have been working with redhat/fedora since redhat 4. I subscribed to this list and then had to work away a lot and didnt get chance to actively do anything. I am now in a better position to offer some help. I am a RHCE and mainly now work in consultancy advising on enterprise level systems. I would ideally like to get involved with puppet and understand how that works. I have worked for ISP's in the past and may ideally be suited to join the hosted FIG and the releng FIG to get some puppet experience. Frank

[PATCH 0/4] Misc. improvements for fedora-mailing-list-setup script
by Todd Zullinger 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

I did this a few months back and then got sidetracked with other tasks and never pushed them. With the lists migrated to lists.fp.o now (thanks to Dennis and Jon), I was reminded about these potential improvements. These changes could use a quick sanity check from those who use the script more often than I to ensure that they look reasonable. If so, I'll push them. The last patch in the series simply syncs configs/mailman/fedora-mailing-list-setup with modules/mailman/files/fedora-mailing-list-setup. We probably ought to convert everything to the module version at some point to avoid having two copies. I started this because I wanted to further improve a gitsetup.py script I've got on hosted and wanted to be able to create lists without having to stop and answer questions from fedora-mailing-list-setup. :) Todd Zullinger (4): mailman: Improve fedora-mailing-list-setup error when mailman's not installed mailman: Catch ctrl-c in fedora-mailing-list-setup mailman: Parse arguments to fedora-mailing-list-setup mailman: Sync setup script from configs/ to module configs/mailman/fedora-mailing-list-setup | 65 +++++++++++++++------- modules/mailman/files/fedora-mailing-list-setup | 63 +++++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?

Hi, My name is Bert Desmet, and I would like to help somewhat in the infrastructure team. I know the Fedora project already a bit as I am an ambassador for about a year now. You can find some useful info about me here: fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:Biertie So, I am a student, and I am eager to learn more about system administration. The things I already know is from testing on my fedora machines, and my centos server. So I know the basics from some things. I am especially interested in getting to know the tools used to keep a professional infrastructure running -something they don't learn you at school- if you have any questions about me, or you want to suggest something, you can find me a lot on irc, or via the mailing lists off course. best regards, Bert Desmet

Goals for F13?
by Mike McGrath 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

So F13 is underway, we should get our list of F13 goals together. So what would you like to see (and will be working on) for F13? For example, I know Jon and Dennis are working on the mail man migration. The major features include: 1) Getting virt_web into Fedora 2) download.fedoraproject.org (based on boot.kernel.org) 3) AutoQA (I'm mostly a support role here for the QA team) 4) Fedora Insight (With marketing team) Minor updates: 1) Replace /mnt/koji (with dennis) 2) Replace the blade center (with a new one) 3) Puppet cleanup (and module publication) I figure that averages out to more than one important thing per month + all the day to day stuff, that'll keep me busy :) Oh, and as always help wanted for those who have time. What does everyone else have? -Mike

Review Board
by Mike McGrath 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

I've had a couple of requests for this come up recently: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1196 It's unassigned at the moment. I'm fine with running it on fedorahosted provided the following requirements get met. 1) It doesn't see high load. I have no idea how review board does what it does, but hosted1 is already pretty overloaded (had an outage last night just from that). While I'd expect the review board to be low traffic and low resource hog I have no idea. 2) What are the storage requirements for this? Anyone out there with experience and are inclined to get this in hosted? Is this something that would be better on one of our collab servers or does it actually have to integrate with hosted somehow? -Mike
