My name is Travis Dillon and I have been using Linux for over 10 years. I have 9 years of programming experience in several languages including C, C++, Ruby, Ruby-on-Rails, Python, Java, Javascript, C# and VB. I love coding and maintaining servers. I program from the time I wake up until I pass out from exhaustion. I firmly believe in the Project and want to put my passion and experience to work. I am motivated and passionate. I love to work alone or with others. It does not matter to me. To know that Fedora will grow and expand with my help is just an amazing idea to me. Travis R. Dillon

I'm going to be doing some selinux work today and tomorrow. I'm just making everyone aware because sometimes issues come up that aren't always obvious when selinux is blocking it so if you run into this, check selinux :) -Mike

Hi, My name is Toby Heywood. I have been a Linux user since 1996 and began supporting Linux/Unix based systems commercially around 1998. I am currently a Systems Administrator for a commodities trading company based in London, England, supporting around 300 servers across three countries. Unfortunately only about 1/6 of these are Linux :( Apart from just general helping out and mucking in, with whatever may need doing, it is my intension to develop further my shell scripting skills, and to potentially add python to my skill set. I'm thinking of starting out in sysadmin-noc, with a view of getting involved in the sysadmin-hosted, sysadmin-web and sysadmin-devel FIGs. In actual fact anything that is sysadmin, but I'll start small and work my way up. I Look forward to working with you all. Regards Toby

Hello, I'm Alex, most commonly known as zc00gii. I've been working with computers for years. Back around Windows 95(around when I was 1 year old) I was playing these learning games. At around three I made a folder and put all of the desktop shortcuts into there. I started using Linux when I was 12. I started to program about 3 years ago. I started with Nintendo DS homebrew programming, with a simple pacman game with a horrible AI. I then went to Wii programming and made a Arch Linux port to the Wii called Archii, using the MIKE kernel. Basically, from there, I've been doing Python and Lisp programming. I know C, C++, Python, and Lisp. Currently, I am working on a desktop environment(http://liquid-de.org/) and a Amiga Juggler clone written in Common Lisp(http://github.com/nixeagle/juggler) I hope that working with Fedora will occupy some more of my unoccupied time, and generally bring joy into my life from the community. I hope to give the same to them.

TurboGears 2/Moksha issue.
by Stephen John Smoogen 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Ok I think I have it Fedora Community working again on appXX.stg and app01 [tested.] It looks like the version that is working on bapp01 requires various versions of applications not available in EPEL anymore so I had to grab a bunch of old stuff out of koji, and hope that what other differences occured were minor (there are some things in koji What I had to do: Get bunch of stuff out of koji where possible sudo yum remove TurboGears2 python-babel python-repoze-what python-tw-jquery python-webhelpers moksha fedoracommunity sudo yum --nogpgcheck --disablerepo=epel-test localinstall TurboGears2-2.0.3-3.el5.noarch.rpm python-babel-0.9.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm python-basemap-data-0.9.5-3.el5.noarch.rpm python-repoze-what-1.0.8-4.el5.noarch.rpm python-tw-jquery-0.9.5-1.el5.noarch.rpm python-webhelpers-0.6.4-4.el5.noarch.rpm sudo yum install moksha-0.4.3-1.el5.fedora.infra.noarch fedoracommunity-0.3.13-1.noarch Tada it now loads on app servers and does not give the errors it was about various bad apps. Lessons learned: 1) yum downgrade is nice in principle but not univerally good. 2) having epel-test on production servers may not be the best idea always 3) actually having direct epel/etc mirrors may be bad for web applications since they can be darn parsnickety about the exact version they need to work and when. 4) EPEL packages get updated all the time in wild ways. Only people who ask for permission seem to get told not to update. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.

any objections on installing htop?
by Ricky Elrod 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hey everyone -- I was wondering about getting htop installed throughout the infrastructure, as I think this will help with on-the-fly checking of issues. For example, if load average is high, it is very easy using htop to sort by CPU, and see exactly what is causing the issue. If RAM usage is abnormal, it's easy to sort by that. It also has some other features that could prove useful. A prime example of when this could have been useful was when hosted01's load averages went up to near 60 last night. It would have made finding the issue quite a bit faster for me. I asked on IRC what would have to be done to go about getting it installed, and was informed that the first step is to write to the mailing list and check for any objections, which is the purpose of this email. So, I'll formally ask: Are there any objections to getting htop installed globall throughout the infrastructure? It's in EPEL and is 67k, disk-space-wise according to yum. Thoughts?
