Hello to everyone Just here to show my self around so i hope to work hard. Well I am currently living and working in Germany for a IT firm as an Instructor/Sys Admin. I do enjoy my work and have been working with linux for like 7 years now. Not only do I use Fedora but ArchLinux and some Ubuntu. I just believe its good to keep a good mix. So i hope to do more work for Fedora in the near future. Have a good day Peace Tajidin

The appropriate method for Joining the websites team seems to be challenging to impossible for me as according to the UTC time conversion method they take place at 5 am my time. Wish I could make those, but I can't with a full time job. What should I do? An American in Japan -evilestmark

Hopefuly contributor self intro
by Mark Johnson 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello, My name is Mark Johnson. I've been a serious GNU/Linux user for the past year or so and started using it over 5 years ago. I'm young, but I've been designing websites since I was much younger, and I've dabbled in the pseudo-professional realm of website design and management. I know XHTML and CSS quite well, XML seems like a pretty straight forward markup language, but I've never actually done anything with it. Python also seems very straightforward and I've never really done much with it as my elementary level programming experience is all with C & C++ (from MUDs), Visual Basic, and C# (from Computer Science classes). I don't know what XSL/XSLT or TurboGears are. I do feel that once Web 2.0 really took off that I did not adequately keep up. But I'd like to learn on the way to contributing to the Fedora project. As the Japanese say, Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu -evilestmark

[Fedora Infrastructure] #2269: Use [proxy] rather [R=301, L] for favicon.ico at fedorapeople.org for better browser support

not all mirrors are created equal - 2 suggestions
by Nada O'Neal 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi webmaster, I'm physically located at Columbia University, so when I tried to download a Fedora 13 install DVD iso from either of these two pages: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#architecture http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all I went straight to the Columbia mirror - which, by the way, is pretty awesome. But, Columbia does not have the DVD iso files, either for 32-bit or 64-bit: http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/is… http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/fedora/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/ ... I'm going to try to complain to the right people here about that. (ha ha!) But, I wanted to suggest for your website that: (a) it might be possible, in the magic you're using to connect people to the closest mirror, to also double-check that that mirror has the file available, and if not, connect the person to the next-closest; and (b) it might also be possible to make it a little more intuitive to know where to go if the mirror is broken. These are whiny because in real time, it took me maybe all of two minutes to find the "all download methods" in the lower right corner, then find the "let me look around..." "see all mirrors" links at the bottom of that page, but of course two minutes of real time is seven million years of subjective web navigation time. Some kind of "mirror broken?" direct link might work. Thanks. - Nada O'Neal

[fedora-websites] #5: Adding mirror links to support tab template

#5: Adding mirror links to support tab template -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: webmaster Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Component: General Version: | Keywords: -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Add 'torrent trouble? download link to download.fedora.redhat.com, using language similar to ticket 3, in the support tab template for all spins. This work should not be done until mmcgrath has set up the spins on download.fedora.redhat.com though, and the links should use the mirror round-robin links. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/5> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance

[fedora-websites] #23: Create index of available Fedora community websites

#23: Create index of available Fedora community websites ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: caillon | Owner: webmaster Type: task | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ During our April 29, 2010 Board Meeting [1] we approved fedora-uk.org and Mike McGrath set up a redirect from uk.fedoraproject.org to it. In the course of discussion about that, we agreed it would be useful if www.fedoracommunity.org (currently returns a 500) would be able to list all such fedoracommunity sub-domains. This would allow greater visibility for the Fedora community sites we've granted TLAs. Note that some of these are redirects to other sites and some are physically hosted by us. Let me or the Board know if we can help or if there are any questions. Thanks in advance.

#26: beautify fedoracommunity.org -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mdomsch | Owner: webmaster Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- I built a very simplistic web page for www.fedoracommunity.org which simply has links to the subdomains delegated elsewhere. This could use to be made much prettier. The website content can be found in the fedora-web git module. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/26> fedora-websites <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites> Fedora Website Team's Trac instance
