Introduction: Frank Murphy

13 Nov '12

Hi I'm Frank, Not a sysadmin, though have been asked to look after app 100pc's for a school I once attended Win server 200* Just run my home lan with Fedora real\virt. Gave up college after 2nd semester. Passed the Java practicals. Failed all the written modules. Would like to learn enough python\sql\trac\wiki enough to help out on the backend of freemedia. I find it hard to learn without an "example" reading difficulties, and I definatly won't be writing books. My brain actually reboots itself. Just need enough to help out. -- Regards, Frank "Jack of all, fubars"

Fedora 18 Beta Freeze now in effect
by Kevin Fenzi 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Greetings. we are now in the infrastructure freeze leading up to the Fedora 18 Beta release. This is a pre-release freeze. Please see: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/browser/architecture/Environ… Anything in the Pre Release freeze box is frozen until 2012-11-06 (or later if Beta further slips). This means there should be NO puppet changes to any hosts in there (including global ones) without signoff of the change from at least 2 folks in sysadmin-main and/or release-engineering. Thanks, kevin

Introduction Fedocal
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi all, Kevin asked me to present Fedocal a little bit. Fedocal is a web-application aiming at providing a central place for Fedora calendar related data. My first thoughts while doing this was the #fedora-meeting{,-1,-2} IRC channels, but I do think it could work as well for any other calendar related information (releases?, infra?). == What does it do? * Admin can create calendar(s) * Calendar are managed by a FAS group * People within this FAS group can create meetings on this calendar * While creating meeting, the creator can specify co-managers for the meeting. * Only the manager(s) can edit and delete meetings (and only in the future) * Meetings have a date, starting and stopping time and a free text field which can contain any information (agenda, introduction...). * Meetings can be recursive until the end of time == 2121-12-31*, or until a specified time and their frequency can be every 7 or 14 days. * Meetings can have a reminder. * Reminder are sent 12h, 24h, 48h or 168h (7days) before the meetings[2] * Reminders can be sent to several email address (comma separated)[2] * Meetings can be deleted/edited either a single meeting, or all the future meetings of a recursive meeting. * The calendars have a weekly view which can be browsed * The calendars can also be pointed to a single date, it will then return the view of the week ie: /#fedora-meeting2/2012/9/25 will return the week view of the 25h of September, same for /#fedora-meeting2/2012/9/28 == Future plans? * The first is for sure, see if this application can be useful * Finish up what needs to be * Take into account the timezone returned by the FAS for the user to display the calendar. Maybe having two columns one with UTC one with the local time. * Provide a iCal/Caldav output so that we can couple it to a calendar client [3] * See with Mizmo to give Fedocal a nicer look :) * Testing! Fedocal is still work in progress but there is already some things nicely working. It will requires some more work but I think it is duable to have something basic quikly there. The big question is then: do we consider this useful or should we try to move to a real calendar solution with the reminder function added ? Best regards, Pierre [1] Why 2121-12-31? Because 21+21=42 [2] This work is still to be done (probably a script to run via a cronjob at first) [3] This will require quite some work and probably more than I can put in during my free time PS: I am opening now the discussion but I'll be away for 10 days starting on Wednesday (morning, US time)
