Linux Administration experience
by Tony Ponce
Hello,
My name is Tony. I am a student at FHTC technical college in Emporia, KS. I
stumbled upon your project through the internet and I was interested in the
fact that I could gain experience by volunteering. I have just completed
two courses here at the tech college, Linux Administration 1 and Linux
Administration 2. Both of these courses are part of the Network Technology
program at FHTC. I am interested in pursuing my career in this field,
however I have read many posts about the fact the employers will not hire
without experience and this I think is where Fedora comes in.
Can you please guide me in the right direction in pursuing my career in
Linux Administration?
Thank you for your time,
Tony

Plan of work for Copr signing
by Miroslav Suchý
FYI - this is my schedule of work needed to sign packages in Copr:
Hardware:
=========
Next visit in PHX is planned on June/July. Next one is January of 2015.
Ideal (and most paranoid) setup would require one physical machine for Signing server and one for copr-backend and one
wire between them. With no remote access to signing server.
But we have not HW for this.
What we can have is have signing machine in VM with restrictive SW defined network. If that VM can be only one VM on
host, then it would be great.
To set up VM and networking and create ansible manifest, can take up to one week.
Software:
=========
I would go the obs-sign way.
It would require to get one patch into GPG2. Patch is made by SuSe, but does not live in upstream.
TMraz (RH packager) preliminary approved this patch, but have few comments, which would need to be address (name of cmd
option, no man page...). Then I will try to get it in upstream, but there is risc of rejecting. But TMraz is willing to
accept it as patch into Fedora and RH package. This is backup plan. (1.5 week to work on patch, 1 w for communitation
with upstream or tmraz)
JStribrny promised to re-package obs-sign. (0.5w)
We should enhance documentation of obs-sign and likely write HOWTO for deployment. (0.75w)
We need to deploy and configure obs-sign on VM. (0.75w)
Mutatis mutandis of Copr (1w).
Sum it up (5.5 week)
Total = 6.5 weeks

Sorry for any bounceback emails, my email was down but its back now
by Chris A. Roberts
Hey Everyone,
Sorry if anyone got any bounceback emails from my email address. The place I had my email server hosted went down for 3 days, then everything got corrupted which took 2 days to get up and running. After another week of going back and forth trying to get the custom ISO images loaded up, I finally moved my email server (zimbra) over to where I have the rest of everything else hosted. Some stuff is slowly starting to come back in, but I am sure I missed out on some important stuff. If anyone would be kind to forward me anything that is of importance so I can catch up. I have been reading the archives but its always nice to have a hard copy.
Thanks,
Chris Roberts (croberts on irc)

Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Bruno Sa
by Bruno Sa
Hello There,
My name is Bruno (IRC: Brnzi) and I am from Brazil, Sao Paulo-SP, currently
living in Los Angeles, CA. I've been using computers for around 19 years
with 7 of them being in a professional capacity. Over the years I have
worked with Help-Desk Support, Network Support and Manufacturing Support. I
am currently moving towards Senior System Administration and Security. I am
MCP and I attended the official Red Hat Linux Essentials (RH033),Red Hat
Linux System Administrator (RH133). I am also studying for the Red Hat
Enterprise and Offensive Security(Pen Testing using Kali Linux)
Certification Exams.
I would like to apply my current skill set and experience to the Fedora
Project in any way I can while getting more experience and knowledge with
system administration and security. Contributing with my technical skills
and my language skills: (English, Portuguese and Italian).
There are several goals I hope to achieve here. First and foremost is the
opportunity to be part of the community by sharing my skills and learning
from you all, while hopefully contributing to the community to make the
world a better place where free thinking and free technology is accessible
to everyone. And on a personal level making good friends and building the
necessary skills to improve myself as a person and as a professional while
helping the community to continue this awesome project!
For the following weeks: I will try to get more familiar with the project,
teams, best practises and work-flow, find something interesting to work
with and then find a sponsor.
I would like thank you all for the opportunity. Please feel free to contact
me at: icapob.sa(a)gmail.com. If you would like to know a little bit more
about my professional experience and achievements I would like to invite
you to visit my Linked-in profile: www.linkedin.com/in/brunosa/
PS: Today was my first meeting - It was really great! - Thanks @nirik for
the tip! :-)
Kind Regards,
Bruno Sa

It seems in modules/rsync/files/rsyncd.conf.download-phx

Regarding departure from the project
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson
Greetings
Given that I'm leaving the project after all those years I need to know
the proper cleanup procedures from our infrastructure
Most notably the deletion of my wiki page and account, the Gnome mailing
list, my bugzilla account and associated issues and whatever else I
might have forgotten
Thanks
