python-kid on buildsys server
by Michael Schwendt 11 May '07

11 May '07

$ rpm -q python-kid python-kid-0.9-2.centos4 on buildsys.fedoraproject.org would benefit from an update to 0.9.5 which includes xml related fixes and makes it possible to create pages that don't fail in the w3c validator. $ rpm -q --whatrequires python-kid repoview-0.5.1-1.centos4

Multiple CLA Implementation
by Warren Togami 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

I just talked with Ken Reilly, one of RH's engineering managers. We are trying to solve the CLA problem, where legal surprised us by allowing Red Hat contributors to Fedora under Red Hat's CLA instead of Fedora's CLA. We both realize there are potential problems in this, but there is urgency to allow Red Hat CLA very soon because this blocks many Red Hat engineers from creating Fedora Accounts as we approach the merge. Below is an initial simple implementation to enable this very quickly. Luckily however, the groups shouldn't get in our way to further improve this process later. One Time Changes ================ 1) Existing cla_done is cloned to fedora_cla. 2) dell_cla group is created, Matt adds whoever he wants. Remove dell_cla members from fedora_cla. 3) redhat_cla group is created, populated through various means. 4) Modify existing Fedora CLA signing process to join fedora_cla instead of cla_done. Automatic Changes Thereafter ============================ fedora_cla auto adds to cla_done redhat_cla autoadds to cla_done dell_cla autoadds to cla_done Toshio's cvsextras -> fedorabugs code should work in these cases too? redhat_cla Management ===================== 1) (one time) Dump dist-fc7 package owners, match e-mail addresses with FAS accounts, add all those to redhat_cla. 2) (one time) Add everyone else that we know about who currently doesn't match e-mail addresses. 3) Give kreilly admin access to the redhat_cla group, so he can add/remove members in an interim. 4) Later give RH GIS access, so they can make it part of their standard "new employee" or "remove employee" process. See any problems in this? Please comment. We need this implemented REAL SOON, hopefully by tomorrow. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

xen1
by Mike McGrath 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Xen1 is going to be offline for the next few days. I'm going to upgrade it to RHEL5. We can do our evaluations to see if its time to upgrade the rest of our environment. Ironically we're still not done upgrading everything to RHEL4 yet :-) Anywho, those interested in testing their apps on RHEL5 please contact me or the list so we can coordinate. -Mike

Introduction
by Peter van der Does 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi people, A quick introduction as I'm new here. My name is Peter van der Does and I'm 36 years old, born and raised in the Netherlands but since a couple of years living in NJ, USA, so yes I'm bilingual (Dutch and English). I have been in the computer industry for close to 17 years now of which about 10 years as a systems administrator and of those 10 years about 4 years as a Linux/Unix admin. I have been managing mostly Redhat servers but also other flavors, like Mandriva, CentOS (OK, that is Redhat), HP-UX. I've been managing a wide variety of software (Apache, MySQL, Postfix etc) as well as network configurations (DHCP, DNS, routers, switches). Tools I have been using are Nagios, Cacti, OpenView as well writing my own Perl/Shell scripts to help with the administration tasks. At the moment I'm a stay home dad, which means I've got quite some time on my hand and I have been looking for something I can do from home and give me the ability to keep in touch with the industry. My biggest hobbies currently are photography and with spring coming I hope to pick up golfing again. Currently I'm working on a DNS audit for the group. Don't hesitate to drop me an email if you want to ask something or need something.

Metrics: Ideas of Data Sources
by Warren Togami 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Just jotting down some ideas for additional Fedora Metrics. Data over time and graphs would be very useful in media to show using actual numbers the growth of Fedora in activity, contributors and packages. These graphs would also be very useful in making business cases to RH in showing the success of Fedora investment, as we try to justify more targeted investments. Data Sources ============ 1) cvsextras-sponsors(a)fp.org receives all of the notices where people request and are granted access to the cvsextras group. We have no official mail archive of this. Does anyone personally have an archive of cvsextras-sponsors mail going back to the beginning when Sopwith launched the system? Harvesting that mail archive would allow us to graph absolute # of Fedora package contributors over time. This however tells us nothing about activity. 2) Check-in activity on the two commits lists could tell us: - how many contributors were active in a given month - how active was package activity in general - how many new packages - how many actively maintained packages 3) Metadata within CVS could tell us similar information as above. Any other ideas for potential statistics grabbing opportunities? Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.co

So if someone wants to work on this first, the basics are that we want to maintain a list of subscribed pages. One list will be per page and have all the normal subscriptions which target one specific page. The other list will be global to moin and hold all the regular expression using subscriptions. These lists only have to be updated when the user updates their subscription preferences. The Moin code will then be able to quickly assemble a list of people that are subscribed to the page from the per-page-list and sequentially trying to match the regexes. (The Moin devs tell me the current method scans every subscription request of every user to see if it matches the page that has been modified. 8000+ users of which 1000+ have subscriptions. In the new scheme we only have to sequentially scan 180+ regular expressions.) I don't think I'll be able to work on this until post-F7. So you guys have nearly 2 months to get fed up enough with the delay to get to this first ;-) -Toshio
