Packages with inactive owners orphaned and inactive comaintainers removed
by Toshio Kuratomi 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

As part of the announced cleanup after the mass password and ssh key reset, packages that had owners who were inactive at this time were orphaned. comaintainer who were inactive were likewise removed from packages. The list of orphaned packages is here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/attachment/ticket/3046/to-be… The list of packages that lsot comaintainers is here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/attachment/ticket/3046/to-be… The perl-* packages owned by cweyl were reassigned ownership to mmaslano, one of the comaintainers under the assumption that this was what the perl team would desire. If that assumption was wrong, some of those packages may be orphaned in the next few days as well: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/attachment/ticket/3046/cweyl… The ticket with all the details is here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3046 -Toshio

GPG keysigning event at FUDCon Blacksburg 2012 (and CAcert Assurance Event)
by Nick Bebout 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are planning a GPG Key Signing event at FUDCon Blacksburg, which will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 1600 (4pm). If you are interested in participating, please add your info to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_GPG_Key_Signing_Event so we can compile a list of participants and keys. So far we have 22 keys signed up and we hope to have even more. That wiki page also has more information about how we will conduct the event. I intend to print copies of the GPG key list on either Monday or Tuesday, I will probably be waiting until Tuesday, but please sign up as early as you can. I will also publish on my fedorapeople site a gpg signed copy of the key list. The current version is at http://nb.fedorapeople.org/keys.pdf and the signature will be at http://nb.fedorapeople.org/keys.pdf.asc after the final list is generated. If you don't get signed up in time, you can still participate, just bring printed slips with the output of 'gpg --fingerprint YOURKEYID' printed on them to hand out at the event. We will also be hosting a CAcert assurance event immediately following/in conjunction with the GPG keysigning event. Please see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_CAcert_Assurance_Event for more information and a place to sign up for that. We will have enough assurers present for you to receive well over the 100 points that you need in order to qualify to become an assurer yourself. Please note that if you intend to participate in the CAcert event, the name in your government issued photo ID must match the name recorded in your CAcert account. For more information on either event, feel free to contact me at nb(a)fedoraproject.org or nb(a)cacert.org Thanks and see you at FUDCon!

Inactive package maintainers cleanup on 2012-01-10
by Kevin Fenzi 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Greetings. Last year we asked everyone to change their fedora account system password and upload a new ssh public key. The deadline for this was 2011-11-30. Those who had not uploaded a new key or changed their password were marked 'inactive' in the fedora account system. Some subset of those inactive users were/are package maintainers. On 2012-01-10, we are going to remove these inactive users from package acls. This will result in some packages being orphaned and available for other maintainers. Any packages not owned prior to Feature Freeze for Fedora 17 (2012-02-07) will be retired. A full list of users and packages and acls affected as of 2012-01-06 can be found at: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3046 If you know a user who is currently inactive and affected by this process and have a way to contact them, please ask them to change their password and upload a new ssh key and they will continue to hold their package acls. More information: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/17/Schedule http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Deprecate_orphaned_packages https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3046 kevin

CAcert Assurance Event at FUDCon (and reminder about GPG Keysigning Event)
by Nick Bebout 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi everyone, We are going to be having a CAcert (http://www.cacert.org) assurance event in conjunction with our GPG keysigning event at FUDCon. This will be held on Saturday, January 14 at 1600 (4pm). If you are interested in helping out as an assurer, or are interested in receiving assurances, please sign up at http://bit.ly/fudcon-cacert-assurance Please note that if you have previously received assurance points via the Thawte point transfer system, you will need to be assured again, because those points will be removed soon. You can, however, participate as an assurer and be assured at this event. If you are an assurer, we'd definitely like you to participate, as we are hoping to have enough people to issue at least 100 points to participants so they can become assurers themselves. We are also having a GPG/PGP keysigning event at the same time and location. The signup and more info about it is at http://bit.ly/fudcon-keysigning See you there, Nick -- Nick Bebout nb(a)fedoraproject.org
