Self-introduction: bithakr
by Aidan Hunt 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

Hello Fedora Docs Project, My name is Aidan Hunt and I am a student at the Early College at Guilford in NC, United States. I've been coding since I was 9. I started working with C#.NET on WinDoze, then I moved to a free software workflow. I am fluent in C and to a somewhat lesser extent C++, and I am working on some new projects in Java as well as some Android stuff. When I'm not on Fedora, I use ArchLinux. You can find me at Github, Gitlab, Twitter, and a few other places under this username (bithakr). I have worked with wikis for several years. I am an extended confirmed user, a rollbacker, and a pending changes review with over 1,706 edits @ Wikipedia-en (User:Blackhat999). I have just started contributing to the eLinux.org wiki, and I am helping with the documentation of quick-back (https://github.com/penguinsnail/quick-back) a small rsync backup script created by a friend. I am mostly interested in contributing to the FedoraProject Wiki (for example, today I noticed that some one the Android Dev workflow articles were a little out of date), but I might also have some time to work on docs for particular software programs. As far as GPG goes, my key is (on pgp.mit.edu) pub 4096R/FC0E03D0 2016-08-20 HaKr <bit(a)hakr.me> HaKr <admin(a)hakr.me> HaKr <hunta1(a)guilford.edu> I look forward to contributing to the project. Happy hacking, ~bithakr

Whats up Docs?
by Trapier Marshall 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hi Docs, Coming back to using Fedora after a few years in Debian land. Expect I'll have some basic improvements [1] to offer on the Fedora wiki as I re-onboard, and that privilege seems to require membership of a Fedora Project group. Since my interest is in improving the wiki, the docs group sounded like a good home. Please consider my request to join this group. Regards, Trapier [1] For example: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel <quote> You can now make whatever changes / customizations you need before generating the rpms and installing them. You may want to consider uncommenting # define buildid .local to avoid conflicts, e.g. </quote> This might read better if it indicated which file (i.e. kernel.spec) to edit.

Fw: Small correction

Sending this along for corrections... Begin forwarded message: Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 17:19:23 -0800 From: Fausto Dan Holguin <faustodanielholguin(a)gmail.com> To: kfenzi(a)redhat.com Subject: Small correction Dear Mike and Kevin, this is to notify a small correction I made to be able to verify my Fedora download in Windows. In this page: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect… I changed this line >>>>> > $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern $image) -split " ")[*0*].ToLower() To this >>> > $expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern $image) -split " ")[*3*].ToLower() Yes, just [0] for [3]. That made it work. Thank you for your work and happy Holidays. Dan

Let's convert a guide
by Shaun McCance 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi all, With Fedora 25 out the door, it's time to take the plunge and convert a guide to this newfangled topic-oriented AsciiDoc system. I have a fair bit of experience going from books to topics from when GNOME converted, so I'm offering to work hand-in-hand with a guide owner to convert one guide first. Based on our experience, we can do a write-up to help others convert later. This is more than a format conversion, and it will require real human brains to review, restructure, and sometimes even rewrite. It's work, but it's fun. So, any volunteers with guides to convert? -- Shaun

Front page description
by Misha S. 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

Hello, I arrived from Red Hat product evaluation requests page [1] to getfedora.org (you are directed to Fedora page [2] if you are an individual developer or entrepreneur), and under "Workstation" there's a description as follows: > Fedora Workstation is a reliable, user-friendly, and powerful operating system for your laptop or desktop computer. Which is inaccurate. Fedora does not come near RHEL when it comes to reliability. Hear me out: you can use RHEL for a decade and it will be supported, so you can forget about system upgrades and do your job. Fedora is EOL in several months and requires skill and hassle to keep up with the release schedule and receive patches and updates. It provides limited hardware support to the technologies bundled. I suggest that the word "reliable" is replaced with "innovative", "ever-evolving" or "rapidly developed", because it is misleading otherwise.
