My name is Travis Dillon and I have been using Linux for over 10 years. I
have 9 years of programming experience in several languages including C,
C++, Ruby, Ruby-on-Rails, Python, Java, Javascript, C# and VB. I love coding
and maintaining servers. I program from the time I wake up until I pass out
from exhaustion. I firmly believe in the Project and want to put my passion
and experience to work. I am motivated and passionate. I love to work alone
or with others. It does not matter to me. To know that Fedora will grow and
expand with my help is just an amazing idea to me.

General selinux work
by Mike McGrath
I'm going to be doing some selinux work today and tomorrow. I'm just
making everyone aware because sometimes issues come up that aren't always
obvious when selinux is blocking it so if you run into this, check selinux
:)

Introduction
by Toby Heywood
Hi,
My name is Toby Heywood. I have been a Linux user since 1996 and began
supporting Linux/Unix based systems commercially around 1998. I am
currently a Systems Administrator for a commodities trading company based
in London, England, supporting around 300 servers across three countries.
Unfortunately only about 1/6 of these are Linux :(
Apart from just general helping out and mucking in, with whatever may need
doing, it is my intension to develop further my shell scripting skills,
and
to potentially add python to my skill set.
I'm thinking of starting out in sysadmin-noc, with a view of getting
involved in the sysadmin-hosted, sysadmin-web and sysadmin-devel FIGs. In
actual fact anything that is sysadmin, but I'll start small and work my
way
up.
I Look forward to working with you all.
Regards
Toby

Introduction
by Alex Thompson
Hello, I'm Alex, most commonly known as zc00gii. I've been working with
computers for years. Back around Windows 95(around when I was 1 year old) I
was playing these learning games. At around three I made a folder and put
all of the desktop shortcuts into there. I started using Linux when I was
12. I started to program about 3 years ago. I started with Nintendo DS
homebrew programming, with a simple pacman game with a horrible AI. I then
went to Wii programming and made a Arch Linux port to the Wii called Archii,
using the MIKE kernel. Basically, from there, I've been doing Python and
Lisp programming. I know C, C++, Python, and Lisp. Currently, I am working
on a desktop environment(http://liquid-de.org/) and a Amiga Juggler clone
written in Common Lisp(http://github.com/nixeagle/juggler) I hope that
working with Fedora will occupy some more of my unoccupied time, and
generally bring joy into my life from the community. I hope to give the same
to them.

TurboGears 2/Moksha issue.
by Stephen John Smoogen
Ok I think I have it Fedora Community working again on appXX.stg and
app01 [tested.] It looks like the version that is working on bapp01
requires various versions of applications not available in EPEL
anymore so I had to grab a bunch of old stuff out of koji, and hope
that what other differences occured were minor (there are some things
in koji
What I had to do:
Get bunch of stuff out of koji where possible
sudo yum remove TurboGears2 python-babel python-repoze-what
python-tw-jquery python-webhelpers moksha fedoracommunity
sudo yum --nogpgcheck --disablerepo=epel-test localinstall
TurboGears2-2.0.3-3.el5.noarch.rpm python-babel-0.9.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm
python-basemap-data-0.9.5-3.el5.noarch.rpm
python-repoze-what-1.0.8-4.el5.noarch.rpm
python-tw-jquery-0.9.5-1.el5.noarch.rpm
python-webhelpers-0.6.4-4.el5.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install moksha-0.4.3-1.el5.fedora.infra.noarch
fedoracommunity-0.3.13-1.noarch
Tada it now loads on app servers and does not give the errors it was
about various bad apps.
Lessons learned:
1) yum downgrade is nice in principle but not univerally good.
2) having epel-test on production servers may not be the best idea always
3) actually having direct epel/etc mirrors may be bad for web
applications since they can be darn parsnickety about the exact
version they need to work and when.
4) EPEL packages get updated all the time in wild ways. Only people
who ask for permission seem to get told not to update.

any objections on installing htop?
by Ricky Elrod
Hey everyone -- I was wondering about getting htop installed throughout
the infrastructure, as I think this will help with on-the-fly checking of
issues. For example, if load average is high, it is very easy using htop
to sort by CPU, and see exactly what is causing the issue. If RAM usage is
abnormal, it's easy to sort by that. It also has some other features that
could prove useful.
A prime example of when this could have been useful was when hosted01's
load averages went up to near 60 last night. It would have made finding the
issue quite a bit faster for me.
I asked on IRC what would have to be done to go about getting it installed,
and was informed that the first step is to write to the mailing list and
check
for any objections, which is the purpose of this email. So, I'll formally
ask:
Are there any objections to getting htop installed globall throughout the
infrastructure?
It's in EPEL and is 67k, disk-space-wise according to yum.
Thoughts?
