All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450331 Summary: lack of documentation on restoring from bare-metal (UUID problem) Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: kwade(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: czar(a)acm.org QAContact: stickster(a)gmail.com CC: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com Description of problem: ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449299 There is a lack of documentation on restoring a system from bare metal. I have found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just executing the restore command when running in rescue mode. With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL, the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.

Fedora 10 Docs Schedule
by John Poelstra 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi Docs Team, During the Fedora 9 release Paul helped me craft a schedule of docs tasks which we published here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-9/f-9-docs-tasks.html For the Fedora 10 release I re-worked the underlying TaskJuggler file to optimize reporting and the ability to allocate resources in the future. As a result I've lost some of the dependencies that were built in and am having a hard time reconnecting them. Also as I look at some of the tasks I'm wondering if they still apply or not. I'd love your help reviewing the schedule here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-tasks.html and telling me: 1) Which tasks no longer apply and should be removed 2) New tasks which should be added 3) Existing tasks that are wrong --please provide the task that comes before and after along with the correct dates so I can build the right dependency logic. Thanks, John

FUG?
by Jonathan Roberts 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hey, I wondered what was happening with the FUG/DUG these days? And perhaps more generally, what was happening with Docs Project? I've only been following along loosely, and should probably check the archives, but I was thinking about taking a crack at writing some stuff over the next few weeks. Jon

Introduction - John McDonough
by John J. McDonough 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

My name is John McDonough and I am a retired computer professional living in Midland, Michigan. I write ocasionally, have an online tutorial on PIC microcontrollers, the occasional amateur radio magazine article, and even a Six Sigma article. I have used Fedora since FC1, although I don't always keep up with every release. I feel a certain obligation to contribute, but although I program from time to time I can't really see myself being able to commit the time nor intensity needed to develop. However, I believe I have a better than average command of the English language, and when first Paul Frields and then Karsten Wade mentioned the need for beat writers, it seemed to me that this might be a way I could give something back. Looking at the list of open slots, it seems as if I could add something in the gcc arena or possibly Development Tools. I use gcc regularly, mostly C or C++, but I'm not above writing the occasional line of Fortran or Ada. At this point, though, it isn't entirely clear how a writer learns what is going on for subjects that don't have a PoC. Wade through subversion comments maybe? Hmmm ... the SelfIntroduction page says you might want to know more about me. Well, although I programmed for many moons, my real interest has been the software process. After retiring I did a little consulting on Six Sigma as applied to software development at some very large firms on three continents. Prior to retiring my role was to provide the technical guidance on large (>1MM USD) software projects. I was (thankfully) insulated from many of the administrative burdens, although I did play a major role in our software process. On the personal side, I am an amateur radio operator, in fact, Radio Officer for the state of Michigan, which means I spend a lot of time with the state police. I like grody technical stuff, build radios, play with microcontrollers, all that geeky stuff. Still, if one looks at my history, both at work and at play, the people skills are not entirely absent. With David Nalley's help I got signed up to FAS, did the CLA thing, now it looks like I have a heck of a lot to read! --McD

renaming DocsProject => Docs_Project
by Karsten Wade 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Today I am embracing both the moniker "Docs"[1] and the new naming scheme for the wiki. The time has come to rename all of the DocsProject project space to come in line with the new naming conventions. This way we'll be a reference implementation before we start asking others to do the same. Here is the process I've thought of. Suggestions? 1. Start with DocsProject and click through to each first link. 2. In each subsequent page, pull up the page of what links here. 3. Move the page then edit each of the what-links-here pages. 4. Ensure each page is in Category:Docs Project. 4.1. Make other improvements 5. Wash, rinse, repeat I'm commencing immediately, unless anyone stops me. ;-D cheers - Karsten [1] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/792 In professional technical writing, there is 'documentation' and the 'documentation project.' *yawn* I'm over that inconsistency. General techies say 'docs', Fedora says 'docs', and 'Docs Project' we are. -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
