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 people, I can't decide which sector to choose to contibute to the project because I am not sure where my skills apply. I am computer science student so I know pretty well java, haskell and I consider my self to be experienced linux user. I believe I can contribute to the bug triange or the quality assurance. Thanks, Vasileios

So if I try suggesting something now, I might just end up repeating what I already told you, which is a waste of time for both of us. :-/ When you reply to emails, make sure you keep the important context in your reply. Also, please reply to the mailing-list, not to me personally. There are other skilled people on the mailing-list who could help you, it's not a one-man-army. :) So, to actually answer your question: there is nothing I can suggest for you to work on. Fedora is a community of **volunteers**, which means everybody work on what they want to work. Nobody assigns work to others. So the first thing for you to do is to really figure out what you enjoy doing, what you want to bring to Fedora. And then, just start doing it. :) You mentioned Java and Haskell in your email, so if you haven't found them yet, let me at least give you the wiki pages for the Java and Haskell Special Interest Groups: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Java https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Haskell_SIG If you want to, you can join them and help them achieve their goals. Have a look at the general list of SIGs as well, in case you find something that picks your interest in there: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SIGs -- Mathieu

[TASK] How to file a trac ticket wiki page needs to be updated.
by Ankur Sinha 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi folks, The irc support SIG[1], would like a page that will tell folks how to file a trac ticket. Here's the irc-sig ticket[2]. As you'll see from the comment, the draft I made is a little out of date and needs some stuff re-done. Would anyone here want to take over this task? You need to know how to file a trac ticket, how to take screenshots and some wiki editing (easyfix, yes!) If no one takes this up in the next week (Till November 19 2012), I'll do it myself. Please reply to the list if you have any questions.

Re: [Fedora-join] [Ambassadors] Web FAD proposal -> Package maintainer's wishlist clean up

Hi folks, I've put up a wiki page for the wish list clean up. I apologise for the delay. Note: Since we're doing it over a period of days, and not over the IRC, it isn't specific to a region any more. Please add your name to the list of volunteers if you're interested. We'll begin work according to the timeline on the wiki page.
