updating elusive contributor stats
by Karsten Wade 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I was looking at this nifty graphic: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics#Contributors ... noting that it hasn't been updated in a year. That looks like a base FAS dump of total accounts, which I reckon is easy enough to get. But can it be automated? Or made easy for a yokel like me to do it? Along the same path, how about slicing contributors in to pools by FAS groups? From here I reckon I've just started asking for a new tool, like previous tools discussed, and some of which may exist, and datanommer and ... halp?

Updating SSL keys on fedoraproject.org 2011-03-10
by Stephen John Smoogen 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Various SSL keys are aging out so we will be updating them before anyone gets a <This CERT is not valid.> page. We have already updated fedorahosted.org and will now be updating the cert for the main site: fedoraproject.org. The old certificate came from Equifax, was a 1024 bit key and had the fingerprint: SHA1 Fingerprint=E7:6D:26:72:D6:A2:2D:7A:5C:CF:BB:D2:05:B9:8E:7C:49:F5:F8:A8 The new certificate is issued by GeoTrust, Inc and is a 4096 bit key with the fingerprint: SHA1 Fingerprint=F6:D6:28:85:64:B1:11:19:38:2A:82:EF:F8:F0:22:E8:27:4F:A5:CF Please report any problems with these certificates to admin(a)fedoraproject.org The change in certs will happen around 2011-03-10 20:00 UTC Stephen Smoogen * Seasonal Infrastructure Chief Koffee Officer

Howdy, The mailing lists clean-up on Hosted is near its end. This saturday (5/03/2011), I'll disable the lists that never answered back my mails during these two weeks. (as we decided on the FI meeting dated 17/02/2011) I've also added some more content to the Mailman SOP with a few details about what made my life easier within this task. [1] You can find the clean-up list anytime by visiting: http://averi.fedorapeople.org/inactive_lists.hosted.txt Thanks, Andrea [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman_Infrastructure_SOP

Hi guys, I just wanted to share this note that was published at several local sites (Argentina), about our company and its successful migration to Linux (Fedora) process. This case is not usually seen in our country, and we are very proud of announce it because were several years of fighting windmills. Also shows that all the work that you do guys (I am still a newbie), is very valuable. This is the note: http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/hvivani/2011/03/02/full-migration-to-linu… Kind Regards, -- Hernán Vivani http://hernan.vivani.com.ar

Guys/Galls, I would love to collaborate with the fedora community, After going through the list of groups I feel that the Fedora Sysadmin Group is where I fit. I have been working as a system administrator on Linux servers (CentOS and Fedora) for over seven years now and would love to give back to the community.

Naming convention for kickstarts
by Stephen John Smoogen 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Ok this may seem silly, but after wading through a bunch of kickstarts today trying to find out which ones are for what.. could we standardize on a convention? We have a couple :). I like this one: <host type>-<os>-<os-release>-<special> Examples. kvm-rhel-5-nfs xen-rhel-6-nohd hardware-rhel-5-xenserver hardware-rhel-5-nohd Once we have a convention, I can go and rename stuff to meet it (maybe put the kickstarts under a git tree also?) -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Ah yes you are correct and yes I had given it some thought but forgot to mentioned it there basically gather the feedback in several stages and make the feedback provided by users public after each stage ( or make it present on another page but the participant can only comment once per stage ) to comment on for further feedback ( next stage ) You can add thumbs up/thumbs down, like/dislike ability to each ones response to weed out bad responses and continue with good ones but general discussion about each response be keep out.. I would think a key element while gathering feedback from thousands of users is to "control the noise" ( which should lead to positive result ) as opposed to be "controlled by the noise" ( which leads to negative result ) hence a controlled "stage" approach with x period apart would be effective which cools down all the participant and gives them time to rationally review the response from others and reply in a constructive manner on the next "stage". To simplify/clarify or putting the problem we are faced with in a different perspective depending how you look at it. Imagine stuffing thousand of peoples in the same warehouse giving them a topic to discuss about and at the same time trying to make out and hear what each of them has to say about the topic. The answer to that is simple you cant hence the workable approach to that problem as I see ( simplified version ) is to get everyone to write down their response which then is gathered and the good responses are put on the white board and the bad responses on the black board repeat until you end up with something concrete that everybody likes. If you have better approach to the problem we are faced with then by all means share it. JBG
