FAS accounts: Who is from India?
by Rahul Sundaram 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, I was looking to query FAS to figure out how many people are from India and was pointed to https://fedorahosted.org/releases/p/y/python-fedora/doc/api.html#fedora-acc… With python-fedora, we should be able to get the details, I think. Anyone, care to look at this? It would be useful for gathering some metrics and potentially get in touch, assuming the privacy policy allows that. Rahul

Events in Q1
by sankarshan 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, >From <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents#Asia.2C_India.2C_Australia_Q1> it looks like we have a single event in Q1 currently. So, if you are organizing or, helping to organize an event and, are looking into the feasibility of whether some funds can be provided for it via the Community Architecture budget, here's a couple of things that would be useful: [0] It needs to be listed on <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents> well ahead of time [1] Give a quick read/re-read to <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/Organization> [2] And, <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines> [3] To know about the process for re-imbursements, please follow <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reimbursements> And, the important aspects - [0] When you put up an entry on the Events page, please plan in details for activities, talks, workshops and/or presentations around The Fedora Project (*) [1] Check up with the proposed/suggested speakers before putting their names on your plan [2] Not all speakers may be available to travel, so, if possible, try to hook up VoIP or IRC talks [3] The re-imbursements happen after the event is over and, there is at least one report on the fedora-india list (along with fedora-ambassadors list) and on Planet Fedora as a blog [4] Make sure to keep your local Ambassador informed about the event should you need any help ~sankarshan (*) We love to talk about FOSS in general, but eventually we will end up talking about Fedora and, this notion should be agreeable to the organizers -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

Tip of the day: Keeping track of updates
by Rahul Sundaram 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi, Earlier this week, I was asked, how does one keep track of Fedora update information? Is there a equivalent to RHN errata for RHEL? The answer is a bit more detailed and depending on what you want, there are multiple avenues for update information. Note that unlike many other distributions, Fedora updates are not limited to just security and bug fixes and often contain new major upstream releases as well. RSS feeds from http://fedoraproject.org/infofeed/ Bodhi, Fedora updates system https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates Fedora package announce list. We use mailman filters so that you can choose to filter out which releases you get update information for http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-announce More details at http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2006-May/msg00001.html Also, yum has a number of nifty plugins. One of them called yum-changelog is useful for listing the RPM changelog information before or after an update for review. Another plugin that is useful for getting just the security updates. Refer the following (articles refer to RHEL but this works on Fedora as well) http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/01/16/tips-and-tricks-yum-security/ Hope that helps. Rahul

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am with Fedora and have been quite active in popularising Fedora and FOSS. For DF-Day(25th March), I am planning to get a custom spin made for the different teams including the Kolkata team. I think it will help if some media is provided. Of course I do need other Fedora promotional material (Stickers, Posters) for the event. I am also planning on creating a printable getting started guide for newbies for this type of events. Best A.

Summer of Code 2009
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi Add your ideas esp if you are willing to mentor at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2009 Last year, we had a good number of Indian students. It would be great to have a similar or better participation this time around as well. Note that we will likely have less number of slots since Google seems to have scaled down funding so competition is going to be a lot more tougher. Rahul

Oh So some pruning is taking place after all. Well even the rose plant needs to be pruned before winter in order to ensure that it continues to flourish. > From: Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay <foss.mailinglists(a)gmail.com> > > Susmit plans to have an IRC meeting with the new and existing > Ambassadors primarily to share our plans and, work out where and how > we need a bit of help/guidance/hand-holding. I am sure that you will > find that session useful. Please be sure to inform the list *well* in advance, I often find meetings are announced just half a day before. If it's no problem, then please have it on some saturday. I also wish to have it as early as possible(if someone is not busy of course). regards R Dhushyanth
