Fedora 20 Final Freeze now in effect
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
we are now in the infrastructure freeze leading up to the Fedora 20
Final release. This is a final release freeze.
You can see a list of hosts that do not freeze by checking out the
ansible repo and running the freezelist script:
git clone http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/ansible.git
scripts/freezelist -i inventory/inventory
Anything listed as freezes is frozen until 2013-12-10 (or later if the
release slips). Frozen hosts should have no changes made to them without
a signoff on the change from at least 2 sysadmin-main or rel-eng
members.
Thanks,
kevin

Anonymized access log from a fedora mirror
by Lukas Zapletal
Hello,
I have two students interested in diploma thesis called Yum plugin for
suggesting packages based on usage:
http://bit.ly/18hrHbL
TL;DR - from anonymized access log, create a database of suggested
packages using data mining techniques and provide a Yum plugin that
would suggest "Users of vim also installed: ctags, git, ..."
I am gonna create a Fedora Feature wiki page shortly describing this in
more detail. Our goal is to offer this project for integration into
Fedora later on, at least provide Fedora packages for it.
To do that, we need good source of data. It would be best to collect
access logs from one or two main Fedora mirrors. We would provide short
script in Python that would parse access logs and anonymize the data (IP
address hash-salted) and filtered only relevant data (RPM files from
latest Fedora release or updates repositories). That would be phase one
which should give us a sample data.
Phase two would be to integrate this script with logrotate and for one
Fedora release cycle (Fedora 19) the script would collect relevant
anonymized data into a file. Final suggested package database would be
created from this file (or maybe files to allow us to move them on the
fly out of the stat directory).
The big (legal) question is if we are able to provide this anonymized
data to public, or if we want to sign NDA with all people involved. I am
CCing Tom for this question.
I need your help with connecting to relevant people. Any comments are
appreciated.
Many thanks and I hope this effort will lead to improving user
experience with Fedora packaging.

Fedora Docs CVS Archive
by Pete Travis
Hi all,
I'm looking for statistics on Fedora Docs activity, so I can help the
ambassadors pass out commemorative shirts. The newer git repos are handled
with Ohloh, but I haven't found the retired CVS repos. Anyone know offhand
if they are still around, somewhere?

November status update for Fedora Infrastructure Apprentices
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group
in the fedora account system. When you reply, please include your
fedora account system login.
Additionally, this month, I am CC'ing the infrastructure list. If you
would like to send your feedback there as well everyone can see and
comment on it.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice
At the first of every month(or so), I am going to be sending out an
email like this one. I would like feedback on how things are going for
you.
I'd like to ask for everyone to send me a quick reply with the
following data or anything related you can think of that might help us
make the apprentice program more useful.
0. Whats your fedora account system login?
1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at
our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to?
2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
to more?
3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice
'easyfix' tickets?
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14
4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever
reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road?
5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help
you do any of the above?
6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved?
Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you?
Finding tickets in your interest area?
7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
helpful or interesting?
8. What do you use to read your email?
Any other general feedback is also quite welcome, including
improvements to this email, the wiki page, etc.
Any folks I do not hear from in the next week will be removed from the
group. (Note that it's easy to be readded when you have time or
whatever and it's nothing at all personal, we just want to keep the
group up to date with active folks).
Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback!

Since ansiblefest I've been kinda looking at these every morning because
I've been thinking about making a push based playbook for it. But
everytime i've looked it seems as though they occur at 9pm my time. Does
that give us a clue about what might be causing it?
