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 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.

Dell 1704 Wireless Driver

Hello everybody, Sorry if I'm repeating the thread again. I have been looking to get my Dell 1704 Wireless (Broadcomm 4365) device working in my Dell 5520 laptop running Fedora 17 x64. I followed the instructions at [1] and [2]. But, that in turn crashed my 3.6.3-1.fc17.x86_64 kernel (kernel-devel) Any advice ? Thanks, Dwaraka [1] - http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-282334.html [2] - http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1601082
