by Kevin Fenzi 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

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/Environ… Anything in the Pre Release freeze box is frozen until 2012-11-27 (or later if Beta further slips).

Hi guys.. made it safe to SC but realized I forgot my laptop charger... so I will be spending today looking for someplace with a 90W lenovo charger.

Freeze break: sync download-ib01 from dl.fedoraproject.org

We pointed our download-i2 mirrors over to download-ib01 while they are in the process of being migrated.

[CHANGE REQUEST] smolt retirement
by Toshio Kuratomi 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

We've been talking about retiring smolt and replacing it with a sinkhole that accepts data (so older installs don't cause long timeouts when attempting to send a smolt profile) for a while now. puiterwijk wrote the files that we'd need to implement this a few weeks ago. I've now got those changes we'll need into a patch against our puppet repo. The changes touch the smolt server (value01) which is not covered by this freeze and also the proxies which are. In addition, I've got a second patch that updates nagios to no longer check smolt. The changes to main smolt are applied in stg and seem to work well. (Have tried smoltSendProfile against the stg server and the links you are given for public profiles) Can I get a +1 to apply these changes? Note after freeze we can also: * Turn off the smolt wiki -- the changes on the proxy should mean it doesn't see any more traffic but we should be able to stop it from running as well. * Turn off backups of the smolt db * Look into making the last smolt db dump available for people who are interested in the data. * Remove the smolt db (and the smolt mediawiki db) from our mysql server. -Toshio

tools for building cloud images in the buildsystem
by Matthew Miller 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Background: appliance-creator, as part of Thincrust, isn't really maintained anymore. It'd be nice to switch to something else. There's two main options that I can see: 1. ami-creator, as maintained by the Eucalyptus project. This basically works the same way as the appliance-creator but is maintained. 2. livemedia-creator. This does a "real" install, using anaconda inside a VM. The second has the obvious disadvantage of needing to launch a VM. Richard Jones suggest that running under fully-emulated qemu layered in a VM builder might not be so bad because we'll be io-bound anyway. It has the advantage of doing exactly what anaconda does, which will make it easier to track the standard Fedora install. We'd also be less insulated from possible breakage due to anaconda development, which from an overall point of view is both good and bad. In any case, I'd like to start running an image creation task automatically nightly if possible. What do the people actually running the builders think about this? -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Home for fedocal

05 Nov '12

Hi all, Several people have asked me where the fedocal project lives and where they could test and report bugs and make RFE, so I'm glad to announce, we found a home for fedocal: https://fedorahosted.org/fedocal/ Note that I managed to get Johan Cwiklinski (fas: trasher) on board to make of Márín's design [1] a reality (and he is already busy with that!) So please, open as many tickets as you would like and let's see if we can make something of fedocal :) Thanks, Pierre [1] http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/Fedora% 20Calendar/fedora-calendar.svg

Introduction Fedocal
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

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)
