APAC Web FAD proposal -> Package maintainer's wishlist clean up
by Ankur Sinha 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi folks, I propose a simple web-FAD to clean up the package maintainer's wishlist[1]. It shouldn't really take up more than an hour if we have a few people working on this. Q. What is the wishlist? A. It's a list of packages that fedora users would like to see in the fedora repositories. Unfortunately, the list is not well maintained and thus, gives inaccurate information to package maintainers. Q. Benefits of the clean up? A. Package maintainers will benefit from a well maintained wish-list. It's a good place to direct prospective package maintainers too, when they're looking for packages to get started with. Q. How much time will it take? A. Maybe an hour and a half, two at the most. Q. What do I need to carry? A. A connection to the interweb, a web browser, IRC client. Optional but recommended: Pizza, bacon, coffee, beer, $food, $music. Q. Why APAC specific? A. Folks from one region are more likely to be available at a certain time. Any one interested is more than welcome to join in, as always. :) Q. What do I need to know? A. Reading/writing/wiki editing. Use of package manager tools, bugzilla, packagedb. Should have FAS account to be able to edit wiki. Q. What do I need to do? A. Simple workflow: - Pick up a package listed in the wishlist - Check if it is already packaged, or if a review ticket has already been filed on bugzilla - Modify wiki page accordingly. Q. What can I learn during this FAD? A. Using yum/$package_manager; using bugzilla; package maintainers process; meet people, get to know your community folks, above all, *have fun*. Q. Future plans? A. See if anyone would like to take over the responsibility of maintaining the wish list. We could even repeat the FAD every month or two. I haven't thought of a time yet. APAC folks, are you up for it? Please reply with a date and time that is convenient to you. Sometime this week, Wednesday/Thursday would be nice. Please forward the e-mail to other APAC regional mailing lists. I'm cc'ing the Join and India lists. [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.

Hi, Does Fedora or Red Hat have any plans to have some kind of exhibit for CES 2013? http://www.cesweb.org/ I missed the free registration, but I'll be attending anyway. I think it would be good to have an exhibit there. Thanks, Dan

FAmNA Meeting Announcement (30 October 2012)
by inode0 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Please join us for our weekly FAmNA meeting this Tuesday at 9:00pm Eastern in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net. I'd like to remind everyone that it is important for us to get some work accomplished at these meetings and staying on the topic is important to that end. All comments are welcome from ambassadors during the meetings but please wait until the Open Floor to add any subject matter not included in the meeting agenda via a ticket. Feel free to add to the agenda. The easy way to add an agenda item is described at the bottom of this announcement. Especially if you have an event coming up that needs some attention. == Meeting Agenda == === Announcements === Time for brief announcements. === Orientation Topics === After giving this some thought I have concluded there is way too much material for one meeting so we'll add one or two topics each week until we have everything covered. Please add topics or suggest future topics for us to cover. * ??? === Tickets === Tickets scheduled for discussion at this meeting can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9 Please read through each ticket in advance so you can be prepared to discuss them at the meeting. === Select Next Meeting Leader === === Open Floor === Unscheduled topics can be raised during the open floor if time permits. Discussion of any topic will generally be more productive if participants know about the topics in advance and have some time to think about them, so please add your topics to the meeting agenda in the ticket system when possible. If you would like to add a topic for discussion at our meetings please open a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ and set its milestone to meeting. Thanks, John

Leading Future FAmNA Meetings
by inode0 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

I'm looking for someone to take over leadership of the weekly FAmNA meetings beginning in November. I need a break from this and it will be good for everyone to have a new enthusiastic meeting leader for a while so I can recharge my batteries. I can continue sending out reminders, meeting summaries, and keeping the meeting page up on the wiki. If someone would just be willing to actually run the meetings for a bit I would really appreciate it. Thanks, John
