Thanks, I have just made some changes on this.
However, I am not a native English speaker so please feel free to double
check it out and make necessary changes.

Hello,
I'm Michael Wolf and I would like to be a part of the Server Working

I'm currently working with Fedora in the secondary arches with a focus
currently
on the Server release. I would like to broaden my work in this area and
have
an interest in the areas of release content, installability and
reliability.
I'm looking for to continuing to work on Fedora Server for many releases to
come.

Questionable package group inclusions on Server DVD
by Adam Williamson
These package groups are included in the Server DVD:
# Web Server environment
@haproxy
@mongodb
@perl-web
@python-web
@php
@rubyonrails
@tomcat
However, I can't see why. None of them is uservisible, and none of them
is in the optionlist for server-product-environment, which means they
won't be offered as optional extra groups for it. That's the *only*
environment group you can pick from the GUI in the Server DVD.
So, the only way you could use any of those is with a kickstart from the
Server DVD, or I guess installing them post-install with yum if you
don't have a network available. Is that the use case for them, or is
this just an oversight? The comment makes it sound a bit like at some
point the "Web Server" environment group was expected to be available,
but it is not, the Server product is the only available env group on a
Server DVD install.

Cockpit and VNC
by Stef Walter
I did a bit of a proof of concept for Cockpit showing a GUI remotely
using noVNC. noVNC is a nice HTML5 VNC implementation. This is wrapped
up as a Cockpit plugin ... and Cockpit provides the WebSocket,
authentication, and all of that. It's very raw at this point ... but in
case it piques anyone's interest. Screenshot:
http://stef.thewalter.net/images/cockpit-vnc-example.png
My current work on this will go as far as polishing up this pull request
into Cockpit code example:
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1560
Information on installing/creating plugins here, which you'll need to
understand if you want to try this out. You'll also need Cockpit from
git master, or wait until the next 0.34 release.
http://stef.thewalter.net/creating-plugins-for-the-cockpit-user-interface...
If someone has solid interest into building this into a full Cockpit
feature, then they can work with the Cockpit team to prototype, plan
(with use cases), design (with our designer: Andreas) and implement such
a feature.
Come to #cockpit or cockpit-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Features built into Cockpit are expected to work out of the box and be
discoverable. But I think that's within the reach of such a VNC based
"access-a-gui-installer-remotely" use case, if someone puts enough time
into it.
Take care,
Stef
