Introduction: Frank Murphy
by Frank Murphy
Hi I'm Frank,
Not a sysadmin, though have been asked to look after
app 100pc's for a school I once attended Win server 200*
Just run my home lan with Fedora real\virt.
Gave up college after 2nd semester.
Passed the Java practicals.
Failed all the written modules.
Would like to learn enough python\sql\trac\wiki
enough to help out on the backend of freemedia.
I find it hard to learn without an "example"
reading difficulties, and I definatly won't be writing books.
My brain actually reboots itself.
Just need enough to help out.

Regards,
Frank

Fedora 18 Beta Freeze now in effect
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
we are now in the infrastructure freeze leading up to the Fedora 18
Beta release. This is a pre-release freeze.
Please see:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/browser/architecture/Envir...
Anything in the Pre Release freeze box is frozen until 2012-11-06 (or
later if Beta further slips). This means there should be NO puppet
changes to any hosts in there (including global ones) without signoff
of the change from at least 2 folks in sysadmin-main and/or
release-engineering.
Thanks,
kevin

Introduction Fedocal
by Pierre-Yves Chibon
Hi all,
Kevin asked me to present Fedocal a little bit.
Fedocal is a web-application aiming at providing a central place for
Fedora calendar related data.
My first thoughts while doing this was the #fedora-meeting{,-1,-2} IRC
channels, but I do think it could work as well for any other calendar
related information (releases?, infra?).
== What does it do?
* Admin can create calendar(s)
* Calendar are managed by a FAS group
* People within this FAS group can create meetings on this calendar
* While creating meeting, the creator can specify co-managers for the
meeting.
* Only the manager(s) can edit and delete meetings (and only in the
future)
* Meetings have a date, starting and stopping time and a free text field
which can contain any information (agenda, introduction...).
* Meetings can be recursive until the end of time == 2121-12-31*, or
until a specified time and their frequency can be every 7 or 14 days.
* Meetings can have a reminder.
* Reminder are sent 12h, 24h, 48h or 168h (7days) before the meetings[2]
* Reminders can be sent to several email address (comma separated)[2]
* Meetings can be deleted/edited either a single meeting, or all the
future meetings of a recursive meeting.
* The calendars have a weekly view which can be browsed
* The calendars can also be pointed to a single date, it will then
return the view of the week
ie: /#fedora-meeting2/2012/9/25 will return the week view of the 25h of
September, same for /#fedora-meeting2/2012/9/28
== Future plans?
* The first is for sure, see if this application can be useful
* Finish up what needs to be
* Take into account the timezone returned by the FAS for the user to
display the calendar. Maybe having two columns one with UTC one with the
local time.
* Provide a iCal/Caldav output so that we can couple it to a calendar
client [3]
* See with Mizmo to give Fedocal a nicer look :)
* Testing!
Fedocal is still work in progress but there is already some things
nicely working. It will requires some more work but I think it is duable
to have something basic quikly there.
The big question is then: do we consider this useful or should we try to
move to a real calendar solution with the reminder function added ?
Best regards,
Pierre
[1] Why 2121-12-31? Because 21+21=42
[2] This work is still to be done (probably a script to run via a
cronjob at first)
[3] This will require quite some work and probably more than I can put
in during my free time
PS: I am opening now the discussion but I'll be away for 10 days
starting on Wednesday (morning, US time)
