RFR sponsor for Upstream Release Monitoring wanted
by Till Maas 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi, I would like to ask if someone would sponsor me to host Upstream Release Monitoring[0] on a Infrastructure machine. To host this, an account with cron and unrestricted internet access would be needed and some python packages. The accound would need to store a plain text Red Hat bugzilla password with fedorabugs privileges, therefore everyone with root access to that box (or the host of the virtual machine, if it is one) should be allowed to know it and have at least the same bugzilla privileges. I would prefer some Fedora or at least a RHEL 6 machine to have some more up to date python available. If anyone would sponsor this request, I will write up a formal Request For Resources[1]. Regards Till [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_Release_Monitoring [1] RequestForResources

Would like to help out!
by Chris Egeland 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi there! My name is Chris Egeland, and I'm a 21 year old computer enthusiast living in Akron, Ohio USA. I've been interested in Linux for approximately 6-8 years now, and have played around with a handful of distributions in my lifetime, varying from Slackware, Knoppix, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and others. In the past few years, I've volunteered in varying capacities for small to mid-sized websites running varying distros of Linux. I've done a little bit of work with Django, some pretty extensive work with phpBB, MediaWiki, and a few other custom scripts that were developed for a specific site. So, with the experience of working with these packages, I have learned PHP, MySQL, and a bit of Python (something that I'm working on learning more extensively right now). Outside of scripting and programming languages, I am pretty decent at writing configuration files (I actually read documentation, believe it or not). I work regularly with Apache Vhost configurations and httpd.conf configurations for a couple of sites. My own webserver currently runs Apache, PHP, MySQL, and will probably be running a Django site in the future once I am a little more familiar with Python. I've got a bit of experience under my belt with administering Linux servers. Mostly Debian, but with a recent project I have been working on, I have a bit of experience working with Fedora as well. I would love to help out however possible, and if there is room for me on the Infrastructure team, I would gladly step up to the plate to learn whatever is necessary. If anyone would like more information about myself, please feel free to ask. I have regular internet access. I am based in the Eastern US timezone, and I have the ability to be in contact with the team at almost any time (IRC/email anywhere if necessary). Like I mentioned earlier, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I look forward to hearing back from everyone, Chris Egeland

What is filling up app http logs?
by Stephen John Smoogen 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Well the most numerous log is nagios asking for 11731659 GET /voting/ HTTP/1.0 which gets put in both the access log and error log somehow. This is coming primarily from nagios from noc2 and publictest7. It would seem we test 3 times a second per app server. On bapp01 we see in a typical hour the following number of requests per IP address 1447 10.5.126.51 1389 192.168.1.7 1376 192.168.1.63 1346 192.168.1.14 1289 192.168.1.52 1286 192.168.1.25 1280 192.168.1.12 This is a lot more than the other app servers get per hour bapp01.phx2.fedoraproject.org 9413 app01.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2369 app04.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2366 app02.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2399 app03.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2372 app6.fedoraproject.org 1381 app5.fedoraproject.org 1429 so there must be a weighting issue going on somewhere. I think the problem is in haproxy with the following: listen voting 0.0.0.0:10007 balance hdr(appserver) server app1 app1:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app2 app2:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app3 app3:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app4 app4:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app5 app5:80 backup check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server app6 app6:80 backup check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server app7 app7:80 check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server bapp1 bapp1:80 backup check inter 2s rise 2 fall 4 option httpchk GET /voting/ If I am reading the context right, the check is every 2 seconds on bapp1 versus 10 to 15 for the others. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

RFC: Backup upgrade
by Stephen John Smoogen 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Currently we are using Bacula 2.4.4 for our backups. With the upcoming upgrades to RHEL-6 the main backup software will be bacula-5.0.0. I have 'gleaned' that the upgrade from 2.x to 5.x is not simple which means we are going to need to do a project on how this will be done. I am looking for people who have done project management in the past to help out on this.. mainly it would be to help step through people who may not have large scale project experience on what things usually need to be done: scoping, staffing, dropback points, documentation, etc. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.

Introduction

11 Nov '10

Greetings All, I am Atwin Calchand and I have just completed a four year degree in Telecommunications Engineering. I have been using Fedora since 4 years now. I would like to join Infrastructure to help in whatever way I can and to broaden my skills. I am an avid user of Fedora and FreeBSD (I have set up web, DNS, samba, NAS, asterisk, VPN servers amongst others). For my final year project, I built a remote network monitoring system using only open-source software running on WRAP boxes with the server running FreeBSD. I know Infrastructure uses Nagios for monitoring from what I have read - I have myself experimented with it and my final year project actually made use of Zabbix due to dynamic IP issues. I have also completed the CCNA course and part of the CCNP syllabus (routing and switching (BSCI and BCMSN)). I would be very grateful if you could point me to the right place where I could be useful. I am quite interested in configuring stuff or maybe start with monitoring until I get the gist of how open-source collaboration works. Kind regards, Atwin

Hi, Infrastructure Team! I'd like to consult with you if it's possible for me as a translation team coordinator to gain ability to alter certain localization bug reports like this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528219 Or is it up to maintainers? Who can make changes if the maintainer is busy?

Changes in FAmSCo and why it matters, or how to get stuff
by David Nalley 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

As you may know, FAmSCo among other things, is responsible for handling a portion of Fedora's discretionary budget.[0],[1]. We typically run under-budget, sometimes by a relatively large amount. FAmSCo recognizes that leaving money on the table every quarter is effectively a lost opportunity. There's also been talk recently of FAmSCo's role changing a bit to deal with more of Fedora's discretionary budget[2],[3], But enough background, my purpose in this message is to let you know that there are resources available to help you 'Get Stuff Done.' If there's something that helps your efforts in Fedora, be that attending a conference like LISA, Guadec, Akademy, or Pycon, or specific pieces of hardware to accomplish something, we want to help make that happen. FAmSCo is actively going to be looking for opportunities to help contributors, but honestly, Fedora's scope and contributor base is so large that we might never come across many of those opportunities without your help. So how do you get access to these resources? It's relatively easy - you can speak to a FAmSCo member, or preferably, create a ticket in FAmSCo's trac instance[4]. You may also want to review the reimbursement guidelines[5] If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any other FAmSCo member. Thanks, David Nalley on behalf of FAmSCo [0] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_budget [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Accounting [2] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2010-August/009047.… [3] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/famsco/2010-November/000402.html [4] https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reimbursements
