Schedule for next FAS release
by Toshio Kuratomi 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

In an attempt to be a bit more organized about FAS releases, give translators a chance to get their work in, etc, I'm going to propose a schedule for the next Fedora Account System release. January 14, 2012 -- FUDCon hackfest day -- make a prerelease for people to see the process. Push to stg. January 15, 2012 -- last hackfest day of FUDCon -- bugfix for any stg issues, update stg with new prerelease if necessary. Announce to translators list that a release is coming up. January 16-18, 2012 -- Toshio on Vacation January 21, 2012 -- String freeze; announce string freeze to translators' list. January 31, 2012 -- Release FAS 0.8.11; push to production You'll notice that there's no actual Feature Freeze in there, just a string freeze. So far, FAS hasn't had official feature freezes as our testing procedures have been to deploy to stg and then test new features and test that old features aren't obviously broken. We've been small enough that we've just held off on committing large changes at this time -- sticking with bugfixes or easily reviewed features instead. If we get to the point where we have enough committers that this is a problem, we should think about having a trunk and a release branch but I don't think that time has arrived yet. -Toshio

Password diversity
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hi, At the moment while checking if a password is valid FAS does not check how many characters are present. Thus it allows things like: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" as password. One solution is of course checking how many different characters are present in the password and I have a quick patch which does that. However while discussing about this with Kevin and Toshio on IRC we did not find what would be an optimal number of character different in the password which would be: - high enough to make the password strong(er) - low enough so that in case of brute force the number of possibilities for each character added remain high. So, do you have an opinion on the minimal amount of different characters a password should have ? Thanks, Pierre

Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Jacinto Batoon
by J B 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hello everyone, My name is Jacinto Batoon or jac1bat0 at freenode. I've been working on a degree in Network Systems Administration which got me interested in Linux. I'm quite comfortable writing bash scripts as well as python. Right now, I'm learning to use puppet and nagios to administer and monitor a network of virtual hosts running on my server. It's a very limited setup and I'm looking forward to discovering how these tools are used in a real world environment. Regards, Jacinto
