F17 Beta to slip by one week.
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

At the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Beta by one week[1]. Minutes follow below. Despite valiant efforts by many awesome people, two new blockers appeared between RC1 and RC2, for which fixes are still incoming and will require the creation of an RC3 [2]. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. Beta will now be looking at an expected release of 2012-04-10, and F17 GA is now scheduled for 2012-05-15. The adjustments to the full F17 schedule will be done (very late) tonight, and published to the Schedule wiki page[3]. Please note that the high-level milestones shown on the wiki page have already been updated to reflect the Beta slip. Thanks for your patience. We will be meeting again next Wednesday for another Go/No-Go meeting. -Robyn [1] Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-03-28/f17_beta_go_no… Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-03-28/f17_beta_go_no… [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule

Request for Mentor: GSoC Application '12
by Rabi Shanker Guha 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello, As i had mentioned in my previous mail, I am an aspirant for GSoC '12 willing to contribute to the Insight project. As per the format of the GSoC program I am required to have a mentor. I have talked to Buddhike and Paul but they both are hard pressed for time. Therefore I request someone from the community to help this project by agreeing to mentor me. I'll be happy to mail the details(my past experience, ideas for Insight website, etc) and discuss this further if you would like. Regards, Rabi Shanker Guha (guha.rabishankar(a)gmail.com)

Hello Buddhike, Thanks for sharing the link, I have already gone through them. Also I had previously mailed Paul and am waiting for his reply. By the way is there irc-channel i can discuss this idea further? Is #fedora-mktg the one, as in my knowledge they are the people behind Insight website.

Hello, I am a aspirant for GSoC'12 willing to contribute to Insight. I have a fair amount of experience with Drupal and would like to pick up the project "*Insight use cases for status and microblogging*"as a SoC project. I have been working on something along the same lines i.e. a Status module with @mentions and #tags functionality somewhat similar to Facebook/Twitter (but with no third party integration). Would like to know the community's feedback. Regards, Rabi Shanker (guha.rabishankar(a)gmail.com)

RE: Regarding FWN
by Pascal Calarco 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi Buddhike -- Thanks for your leadership on this! I am glad you are willing to help with FWN's leadership. The Fedora Insight group meets Tuesdays at 20:00 UTC, and more information is available here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Insight A good place to start would be to try to get someone to meet with the Insight group at their meeting. I am cc'ing the logistics list, as that is where Insight members discuss the project. I know this is pretty inconvenient to you, so perhaps someone else from the FWN team can attend. I've just looked at the documentation for publishing FWN to Insight, and it needs updating; it still has references to Zikula, a previous platform we were working on prior to adopting Drupal, which is our main technology platform for Insight. I will carve out some time this Friday to update this page so that it is current: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight_FWN_Workflow The biggest challenge for getting FWN out the door right now is not technical really, it is finding enough writers who can commit to producing an FWN beat every week. This of course has been a perennial concern, but it has been increasingly an issue. For the past year or so, I have been writing three FWN beats plus doing the editing and distribution. Ideally the editor should only have to do the editing. Besides the Fedora Insight and FWN teams, I would suggest talking to a variety of places in the Fedora leadership --FAmSCo, Robyn Bergeron (FPL), Fedora Marketing (which is also in need of rebuilding), perhaps others, to see if there are volunteers that can be enticed to produce FWN or Insight content on a regular basis. I will commit to being able to produce one beat on a regular basis, but I really don't have time to do more for FWN at this time, unfortunately. Plug me in where you need me, so that others have more choice of what beats they'd prefer to cover. Let me know if you have follow up questions, I'm happy to help with this transition. Thank you, Buddhike! - pascal -----Original Message----- From: bckurera(a)gmail.com [mailto:bckurera@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Buddhike Kurera Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 6:21 AM To: Pascal Calarco Subject: Regarding FWN Dear Pascal, Can you please provide me information on the relationship with FWN and insight? What has been done and what is to be done. I am trying to get FWN back again seems like nobody is following the announcement for the meeting. If I have info about things did so far I can start from the end. thanks and miss your support !! -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera(bckurera) Fedora Ambassador Sri Lanka Event Liaison - Design Team Email: bckurera(a)fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera

Mentoring Insight project ideas at GSoC 2012
by Buddhike Kurera 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Dear Insight Team members, I have had a chat with Herlo and Stickster about the GSoC 2012 and Insight project. Both agreed with that the Insight project ideas would be good GSoC project ideas[1]. The chat history with stickster is attached followed. What we need is some mentors to mentor the ideas. If you are interested in supporting please reply, thanks. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2012 [22:51] <bckurera__> I was wondering to add some Insight project ideas to GSoC idea page. [22:51] <stickster> bckurera__: Sure, what did you have in mind? [22:51] <bckurera__> So think of contacting the insight team for that [22:51] <bckurera__> I have discussed with Herlo about the calendar project [22:52] <bckurera__> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Insight_use_cases_for_calendar [22:52] <stickster> bckurera__: asrob and tatica would also be interested in talking with you then [22:52] <bckurera__> further there is another topic as well [22:52] <bckurera__> which is added by stickster [22:52] <bckurera__> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Insight_use_cases_for_status_and_microbloggi… [22:53] <bckurera__> I can see asrod here :) , can you ping, if possible please ! [22:53] <stickster> Yes, I added that one -- I outlined the use cases on that page [22:54] <bckurera__> stickster : can you mentor that idea? [22:55] <bckurera__> I can see asrob here :) , can you ping, if possible please ! [22:55] <stickster> bckurera__: Unfortunately, I can't mentor personally for GSoC -- I'm more than fully booked in an internal project [22:56] <stickster> bckurera__: But that doesn't mean we couldn't find another mentor for you, if someone else on the team feels they can do that [22:56] <bckurera__> stickster : Is there any person who can handle the idea? [22:56] <stickster> bckurera__: I would certainly try to help with advice or communication, but I'm sometimes not around depending on $DAYJOB [22:57] <bckurera__> stickster : Thats nice, so that we can ask it on ML and find one to co-mentor as well [22:57] <stickster> bckurera__: Sure -- we use the logistics@ list for that. Have you already seen the [[Insight]] page on the wiki? [22:59] <bckurera__> stickster : Yes ! I joined with the project some time back but not able to do much :( [22:59] <bckurera__> stickster : I mean towards the Insight [22:59] <stickster> bckurera__: The use case #2 on the microblogging page may be the most interesting one. That's the one to try and get us away from a shared password, and into a system where we use a FAS group to manage access to the identi.ca account [22:59] <stickster> I don't have a good idea how to accomplish it, and still have some good security practice [23:00] <bckurera__> stickster : Then you think those ideas will be good GSoC projects, am I right? [23:01] <stickster> bckurera__: I'm not sure -- it depends on how generally applicable we could make them outside Fedora [23:02] <stickster> If I were thinking in terms of GSoC, I'd want to think about how solving these problems could help the larger FOSS community -- in other words, design a general solution that we could also use in Fedora [23:03] <bckurera__> stickster : I think GSoC is specific to a FOSS project/ organization. Even the last year selected topics are like that. [23:04] <stickster> bckurera__: OK, if that's the case, then I guess these would work [23:04] * stickster still likes the idea of generalizing the solutions so they can be used elsewhere [23:04] <bckurera__> With the students' help we can get the idea implemented. That the support and further we need to make the student with the project even though the GSoC is over. [23:05] <bckurera__> stickster : Thanks a lot, then shall we ask some help to mentor on the ML? [23:05] <stickster> Absolutely [23:05] <bckurera__> we can include both ideas we have at the moment and some co-mentors while you can advice them time to time. [23:07] <bckurera__> stickster : Nice, then shall I post the idea to the list with this chat history, quoted? [23:07] <stickster> sure [23:08] <bckurera__> Thanks for the quick response, I ll post to the ML soon. -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera(bckurera) Fedora Ambassador Sri Lanka Event Liaison - Design Team Email: bckurera(a)fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera

Hello, Please update the GSoC 2012 idea page[1] with Fedora Insight project ideas. I think this is a good opportunity to get support from the students so that we can implement some features that are waiting yet. Please add them ASAP.
