Past the signature problem
by Karl Larsen 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Well now the signature appears as I want it. It was far harder to do than I thought. But it is now done. -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org. GPG DF28 8F18 94F8 D5C6 9E44 163F 7FD1 3D06 C325 DA40

Public key
by Karl Larsen 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

I was asked to get a Public Key number and got KGpg from yum and it seemed to do what was needed and I have 2 long numbers one called ID and the other is a real huge number. Which of these or another do I need to put in my signature file? I do not see the use yet. Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.

DUG
by Marc Wiriadisastra 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hey all, Can we come to a consensus on what else needs to be done to make this doc a reality. At the moment it's in pieces which is fine and people are working on it. I'm just curious as to what topics need to be covered in order to make it useful to the end user. There is (IMO) some overlap between the Admin guide and the Desktop one and there will always be so with that thought should we transfer some topics across? Would love a target in place makes things easier to say yup completed edit ready etc. Cheers, Marc

Daily Package

08 Dec '07

Hey All, There is a website linked to fedora weekly news called daily package. There are a few packages there that might help the admin guide. Such as the example linked. If people are looking at the admin guide or working on it there might be some added info for you guys/gals :) Cheers, Marc http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/160-System-Recovery-…

Unleash the flying monkeys! I'll see about getting a Rawhide instance going in the next few weeks for testing. Hereby letting all others interested in quality PDF production from DocBook, here's a way to lend a hand - test the new FOP build. - Karsten > Tom > email message attachment (fop built.eml) > > -------- Forwarded Message -------- > > From: Lillian Angel <langel(a)redhat.com> > > To: Thomas Fitzsimmons <fitzsim(a)redhat.com> > > Subject: fop built > > Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:51:16 -0500 > > -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.

quote order (was [Fwd: [Fedora Project Wiki] Update of "Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/UserAccounts" by VladimirKosovac])

The correction below brings up a small thing we can be consistent about, but first we can decide how we prefer it. So let's vote! (+1 for your preference) su -c 'command -c "quoted text" foo' su -c "command -c 'quoted text' foo" In other words: " '' " ... or... ' "" ' ;-) Karsten -------- Forwarded Message -------- {{{ - su -c "/usr/sbin/useradd -c "Luke McAlister" -g primary -G additional,another -d /home/second -s /bin/tcsh luke2" + su -c "/usr/sbin/useradd -c 'Luke McAlister' -g primary -G additional,another -d /home/second -s /bin/tcsh luke2" }}} {{{ - su -c "/usr/sbin/usermod -c "Luke McAlister" luke" + su -c "/usr/sbin/usermod -c 'Luke McAlister' luke" }}} -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.

Request to withdraw outdated tqsg translated version
by Noriko Mizumoto 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi Paul and docs team As you already noticed, we translators aggressively have started translation of TQSG. However there are several languages which have not been yet completed their update. For example, clicking 'Japanese' results showing old version, but new translator may not know that it is old. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/ So could you kindly withdraw old version from the above tentatively till fully updated translation is committed? Thanks noriko

election calendar [RFC]
by Karsten Wade 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Can we approve this ASAP? I like what was suggested last week for dates. Nominations Open 05 December Close 12 December Voting Open 14 December Close 24 December We have three seats open for (re)election, currently held by: John Babich (jmbabich) Pawel Sadowski (mcgiwer) Bart Couvreur (couf) These four seats are held until the next election: Paul W. Frields (pfrields) Karsten Wade (kwade) Dimitris Glezos (glezos) Robert 'Bob' Jensen (bjensen) I just updated this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Policy/FDSCoElections Voting system details may have changed, but the policy is otherwise up-to-date. One delta -- in that policy I put "last two weeks of November and May" and no language about slipping as a regular event. I mentioned one historical slip for # of nominees, to fill the ticket for the all-seven-seats that only happened one time. After this election, the new FDSCo has to hold discussions with all contributors and decide how we are cycling seats and how often we are holding elections for the future. This was a direction left by the current FDSCo after the previous round of elections: "After the next election, review election policy and how often elections should be held."

Useful Reference for the Upcoming FDSCo Election
by John Babich 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Any Fedoran who is interested in voting in the upcoming FDSCo election, or in running for one of the positions: I recently completed converting all of the IRC logs of FDSCo (Fedora Documentation Steering Committee) meetings for the entire year of 2007 into HTML. This greatly improves their readability and usefulness in understanding the issues surrounding the Fedora Docs Project activities. You can view them at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/Meetings/Minutes. You may find the 10 January 2007 meeting minutes of special interest, since it discusses the preparations for the last election in February 2007. Enjoy, John Babich Volunteer, Fedora Docs Project
