spins.fpo revamp content & update
by Máirín Duffy
Hi folks,
I promised I'd sent the Fedora websites list the spins content the
maintainers so graciously put together on short notice for our spin.fpo
redesign.
Here's the content they put together - they made it very easy to link to
:) :
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo#Sp...
Also as a status update, I think we are set on the design for Electronic
Lab and LXDE. I still need to go through the mockup process with
remaining spins' content and make sure the spin maintainers are okay
with what I come up with. I'm hoping to have that done by this Friday
but we'll see.
I sent out a message to the fedora-desktop list too to see if they want
a page for their spin and if so what content they might be able to
provide. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to give them a spins.fpo page
or not yet but hopefully some good discussion about that will happen on
that lit.

Fedora 11 Website
by Zoran Sourit
Dear Fedora Project,
Just wanted to say thank you for providing the software that damaged my
computer video. I can no longer use the computer after attempting to load a
live cd of Fedora 11.
The validated and correctly burned live cd damaged my computer after
running on it or attempting to. I couldn't really tell if it loaded since
it immediately caused the video to fail. The video no longer works, even
when loading Windows on the hard disk.
Thank you so much Fedora. I will never touch Fedora again, let alone
another version of Linux.

If a slow-moving, "much more stable" distribution is what you are
after, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (or a rebuild of it like CentOS) might
better suit you.
The very core of Fedora is to rapidly move free software forward.
This can be done best by following the free software mantra of
"release early, release often."
That said, finding and fixing grave bugs is quite important to Fedora
and we encourage all users to become actively involved in reporting
bugs to us (as well as helping to fix them :). For more details on
how to report bugs, please see:

Error in instructions
by Kirk Charles
Greetings,
I have found an error in the following page for windows users
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en_US/sn-validating-fil...
It seems that the current checksum method is SHA 256. Only hashcalc
can do this.
The other 2 recommended programs will not do this.
It took me quite awhile to figure this out.
Also it would be good to elaborate on how and where to find the sums
to check against
and to remind users
to be sure to use the correct calculation method.
Thanks
Kirk

webpage error
by Keith Green
Did you know on your wiki page (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview) it says:
Target Audience
The Fedora Distribution's target audience is:
1. FIXME
2. FIXME
3. FIXME
If you aren't sure if you fall into the target audience, Is Fedora For Me? may help guide you.
I need alot of fixing, I'm definatly switching to Fedora. ;)

Why is F11 so fucked up while F10 was perfect?
by Gert Jan Mul
Why is F11 so fucked up while F10 was perfect?
Nothing works anymore as it should.
-Images are not loaded in evolution even with the proper image loading
settings.
- some images have like 16 color schema instead of the proper 256 or
more, and there is no setting to be found that can change it,
- video files don't show properly, they crash or stutter.
- settings are changed back after a next logon.
- other settings often have no effect at all
- printer no longer works and no proper settings to be found.
and the list goes on, and on and on...
and I cant find any clue on the net what so ever.
I totally curse F11.

20:12 < mmcgrath> #topic Search Engines
20:12 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Search Engines
20:12 < mmcgrath> a-k: you want to take this one?
20:12 < a-k> Sure.
20:12 < a-k> I didn't find any engines written in Python, but I found 4 written in Perl, according to their documentation. 2 are not actively maintained. Huzaifas and I split the 4 between us.
20:13 -!- Fedora11 [n=EvilBob@fedora/bobjensen] has quit "Leaving"
20:13 < a-k> Most engines are written in C. Are we willing to consider them? The preference had been Python.
20:13 < abadger1999> a-k: C is okay.
20:13 < mmcgrath> a-k: C is perfectly ok.
20:13 < a-k> OK. That opens it up quite a bit more.
20:14 < dgilmore> there are a few in java also
20:14 < mmcgrath> a-k: I was talking with huzaifas last night about this very topic. I didn't mean to imply that language had as much weight as it has had :)
20:14 * ianweller is here
20:14 < mmcgrath> we have a preference for python and all but it's not a hard requirement at all. We just want the best tool for the job.
20:14 < dgilmore> the one archive.org uses could be good to use
20:14 < a-k> Roger. We'll look at the others.
20:14 < mmcgrath> a-k: any of them look particularly interesting?
20:15 < a-k> Of the Perl ones, Namazu looked good. Huzaifas is looking at that one.
20:15 < a-k> OpenFTS is not maintained, but it has a Python interface for apps to access it.
20:15 < mmcgrath> cool, well lets keep talking about this at the weekly meetings. I think a few people are interested in the outcome of this.
20:15 < mmcgrath> yeah :( for unmaintained apps
20:15 < dgilmore> a-k: it needs to be maintained
20:16 < a-k> dgilmore: yeah. I figured....
20:16 < mmcgrath> Ok, anything else on that?
20:16 < a-k> I don't think so.
20:16 < mmcgrath> K.
20:16 < mmcgrath> nb: you around?
20:17 < mmcgrath> 'mm kay
20:17 < mmcgrath> So really that's all that's going on at the moment that's meeting worthy
20:17 < mmcgrath> #topic Open Floor
20:17 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Open Floor
20:18 < mmcgrath> anyone have anything they'd like to discuss?
20:18 < mmcgrath> If not we'll close the meeting in 30
20:19 < sijis> blogs.
20:19 < sijis> so, i know there are minor things on it.. but i believe nb's thought its to put a public notice about it soon.
20:20 < smooge> how is it situated to go ?
20:21 < mmcgrath> sijis: yeah
20:21 < mmcgrath> I'm not sure the status of that at the moment either.
20:21 < mmcgrath> I'd like to get it finalized though
20:21 < mmcgrath> this last 10% for projects always seems to take the longest.
20:21 < sijis> the are two open issues (that i'm aware of)
20:21 -!- cassmodiah [n=cass@fedora/cassmodiah] has quit Remote closed the connection
20:21 < mmcgrath> <nod>
20:22 < mmcgrath> nb's not here so that's out but that's ok, maybe we'll catch him next week.
20:22 < sijis> 1 - redirection with the new control panel link, 2 - rss feed error (just heard about it yesterday)
20:23 < mmcgrath> yeah I know about 1
20:23 < mmcgrath> not sure what it is though
20:23 < mmcgrath> sijis: ok, anything else?
20:23 < mmcgrath> if not we'll close
20:23 < smooge> the only thing I had to ask about was the PHX1 -> PHX2
20:23 < sijis> we think the redirection/rewrite or ssl problem.
20:24 -!- lfoppiano [n=lfoppian@fedora/lfoppiano] has joined #fedora-meeting
20:25 < sijis> that's all i have.
20:25 < mmcgrath> allrighty then :)
20:25 < mmcgrath> smooge: I haven't heard anything new on that, have you?
20:25 < smooge> nope
20:25 < smooge> just wanted to put it in the public record :)
20:26 < mmcgrath> hahah
20:26 < mmcgrath> yeah, that's sure slow to start
20:26 < mmcgrath> I haven't even heard what happened with my hardware yet, I know it's on site now.
20:26 < mmcgrath> anywho, we'll keep it short :)
20:26 < mmcgrath> #endmeeting
20:26 -!- zodbot changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Channel is used by various Fedora groups and committees for their regular meetings | Note that meetings often get logged | For questions about using Fedora please ask in #fedora | See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel for meeting schedule
