Introducing me (Nik Lam, nlam)
by Nikolas Lam 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi Fedora Infrastructure, I've been a frequent Fedora user for approximately 3 years have been a huge fan of free software in general for many more. Up until now though, I've never contributed anything substantial back, other than acting as an advocate among those who I know personally. In July, I relocated from Australia to China (Shanghai) and am hoping to actively participate in the Fedora Project and focus my efforts in this region. In August, during her visit, I met with Mel Chua and Xin Zhen (Fedora Ambassador "lonestar"). Mel suggested that with my background I might be suitable as a contributor to the infrastructure team. Some info about my skills: I've worked as a sysadmin in the tertiary education sector for the past 3.5 years mainly on RHEL systems; prior to that, I worked mainly on FreeBSD systems for 5 years. I am RHCE certified for RHEL4 and I'm familiar with a bunch of the enterprise-oriented Red Hat-centric technologies including RHN satellite, Cluster Suite and the virtualisation capabilities of RHEL5. Application-wise, I think I've got a fairly common set of skills, including: * Apache httpd in conjunction with PHP, Tomcat and Zope-based web apps. * mail services including exim, postfix, sendmail & dovecot * (Sun) LDAP directory. I've never been a big user of IRC, and therefore am quite the n00b, but I've just registered the nick ni2ke4 on freenode and will be spending time in the #fedora-admin to get acquainted with members of the team and the way things work in infrastructure-land. Cheers, Nik Lam

joining infra team request
by Kévin Raymond 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi there, I really would like to be part of the infra team, in order to help the website team. I am now a Fedora Project Localization "representative" on the website team, in order to help concerning l10n. But it appears that many changes that I would like to do also needs database updates. To be efficient in my case, (1 L10N task = 1 website commit AND 1 other infra commit/change) we (at least Sijis and me :) ) think that it could be faster if I could do both. Therefore, here I am! I am skilled in basic website /server administration bash scripting C/C++ / php / MySQL / HTML/CSS started using git and just started learning python and Java (java is not my own choice, am still a student ^^) I am using Linux since a long time ago (ok, I am not that old..) and as definitely decided to get more involved. About me and the Fedora Project: I am a French Fedora Ambassador and an active translator. My goal as a website team member is to provide a website as more localized as we can. I am spending lots of time with the Fedora project (15-20h on average per week) and like to do so :) My FAS/wiki/irc username is shaiton Best Regards, -- Kévin Raymond GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2

[PATCH] Update ReviewBoard config
by Stephen Gallagher 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Because Fedora's FAS auth requires us to make a copy of the INSTALLED_APPS and MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in ReviewBoard's settings_local.py, we need to manually update this list whenever ReviewBoard adds a new option to its primary settings.py in these tuples. In this case, they added 'djblets.log' and 'reviewboard.admin.middleware.X509AuthMiddleware' - -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Delivering value year after year.

Change request ( db2 )
by Mike McGrath 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

I'd like to increase db2's max connections from 500 to 750. We've got this FAS issue (reboots) which are leaving connections open. They largely sit idle but stay open until they timeout. The load on the box is fine even when it hits 500 right now. this is just to help mask the problem a bit and impact users less, this isn't the 'right fix' so to speak. But it'll help. Can I get 2 +1's? -Mike

Smoogen On Travel: 2010-09-26 -> 2010-10-06
by Stephen John Smoogen 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

I will be on travel to RDU for a week of RHCE training and a then to PHX for a couple of days of inventory and set-up of secondary arch hardware. I will have some internet access during training and more when in PHX2 but will not be able to attend meetings. For people in the RDU area... if you see a man in loud Hawaiian shirts wandering around lost.. it is probably me forgetting that I don't live there anymore and trying to figure out where I live. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.
