Hi all, My name is Alex Shepard. I've been lurking for a few weeks, but I'd like to pitch in and help out if I can find something to work on. I'm 33, work for a startup called Eye-Fi ih the US (in the bay area), doing systems infrastructure and development. I'm pretty good at generic linux web sysadmin stuff, network engineering, systems monitoring (esp nagios & cacti). I'm also a halfway decent coder... I'm pretty good with perl, php, java, javascript, and can read c and variants and python. I wouldn't mind helping out really anywhere. My strengths are probably in web/hosted/tools/devel, but if I had to pick I'm mostly curious about how the FC team manages releases, so sysadmin-releng and sysadmin-build sound like fun. I'll try to drop in at the next irc meeting and say hi. Cheers! -alex

Hi, My name is Finnur Örn Guðmundsson. I live in the Reykjavik area (Hafnarfjordur), Iceland. I am 25 year old. I work as a Sysadmin at TM Software, a large ASP company here in Iceland. My job roles are: Deploying and managing SAN networks & storage systems for us and our customers, administering linux/unix machines (of course!), core services (DNS/NTP etc), deploying/debugging hardware (x86 servers mostly) and loads of other stuff. We use RHEL/CentOS as our distro of choice. I have been watching this mailing list for a while and would like to contribute something back to the Fedora community in some way (Be it packaging, documentation, sysadmin stuff or anything else). Interests include *NIX, clustering (HA), storage related stuff and more. I am a RHCA (verify it! 804005656115566). My programming/scripting skills stink but i am working on that .... Catch you all on the next meeting. I'll hang out in #fedora-admin as finnzi Laters all, Finnur

by Timothy Buck 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Hello everyone, My name is Timothy andI am a 23 years old who lives in the Reno/Tahoe area. I have been using linux/unix in some fashion for the past 4 years, from setting up a webserver to host websites for friends to my current day job of administering red hat 3/4/5 servers for a large online retail company. I am however a networking junkie at heart and spend a fair amount of time working with cisco devices. I currently have my ccna and am activly pursuing my ccnp. I started programming with php and have since moved on to learning python... however I am not as skilled in it as I would like but am working on it. Anything else anyone wants to know just ask. Thanks for your time everyone, Tim

Red Hat (Fedora) Bugzilla 3.2 Upgrade on July 26th, 2008
by John Poelstra 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

I'm sending this on behalf of Dave Lawrence and the bugzilla team at Red Hat. Fedora uses this instance of bugilla too. Please forward this on to people or groups I missed. Thank you, John ------------------------------- Greetings, The Red Hat Bugzilla team is happy to announce that the release of the next version of Red Hat Bugzilla will occur on July 26th, 2008. The next version will be based on the upcoming upstream 3.2 code base soon to be released. For previewing the next release please go to: https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com We encourage everyone to please go to the above site and provide any final testing and feedback where possible. Please verify that the features you have come to reply on day to day in our current Bugzilla are still available and working properly. Please use the new UI and make sure that you can accomplish the same tasks. Do not worry about making changes, this is a test snapshot and is not live data. Also emails will not be sent for changes so do what you like. Also please make sure your stored queries/reports/whines still work and display as expected. Some notable changes since 2.18: Ajax optimizations on searching and displaying bug Improved needinfo actor support Changed guided bug entry UI enhancements XMLRPC API: New API plus compatibility with old API. (please verify your scripts that use XMLRPC against the test system before the release date) There are numerous other changes behind the scenes that we haven't listed. The goal is to make sure that functionality that people have come to expect in 2.18 is possible in the new system. There are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upcoming 3.2 release provided by the upstream Bugzilla community. For more detailed information on what has changed since the last release, check out the Release Notes. We have done extensive work at laying out what we feel the requirements are to maintain feature parity with our current system as well as compiled a list of feature enhancements that people would like to see in the next release. Our goal is to deliver a working bugzilla with the bare essential requirements similar to what is currently being used in our current 2.18 system. After that we will begin work on enhancements as time and resources permit. To view the final release requirements list please refer to our Bugzilla 3 Tracking bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406071. Please file any enhancement requests or bug reports in our current Bugzilla system at bugzilla.redhat.com. File them under the Bugzilla product and relevant component with the version 3.2. Also send questions to bugzilla-owner(a)redhat.com. With everyone's help we can make this a great release. Thanks The Red Hat Bugzilla Team

Advice on deploying wsgi app using jsonfas
by Robin Norwood 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hi, So I'm working to get amber packaged and deployable as a wsgi app so I can run a demo on publictest10. I've made pretty fair progress getting things up and running (on my local system first to make sure it works), but I've run into an issue. For the setup, I'm basically ripping off the way Ricky Zhou set up fas wholesale. I have an amber.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d, which refers to an amber.wsgi file. All of that seems to work fine. The problem happens when I try to connect. I get a 500 error with the following in httpd's error log: Unable to write to session file /var/www/.fedora_session: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/.fedora_session' Well, it turns out that this is because my app is using jsonfas, which uses fedora.client.BaseClient. In fedora/client/__init__.py, I find: SESSION_FILE = path.join(path.expanduser('~'), '.fedora_session') Which explains the error - my app is running under apache, and while /var/www is apache's homedir, apache can't write to that directory. So, as anyone else worked around this with another turbogears app running under wsgi and using jsonfas? Since turbogears and fas are both pretty common, it seems likely that someone here has already dealt with this. Thanks, -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
