tools for building cloud images in the buildsystem
by Matthew Miller 14 Nov '12

Background: appliance-creator, as part of Thincrust, isn't really maintained anymore. It'd be nice to switch to something else. There's two main options that I can see: 1. ami-creator, as maintained by the Eucalyptus project. This basically works the same way as the appliance-creator but is maintained. 2. livemedia-creator. This does a "real" install, using anaconda inside a VM. The second has the obvious disadvantage of needing to launch a VM. Richard Jones suggest that running under fully-emulated qemu layered in a VM builder might not be so bad because we'll be io-bound anyway. It has the advantage of doing exactly what anaconda does, which will make it easier to track the standard Fedora install. We'd also be less insulated from possible breakage due to anaconda development, which from an overall point of view is both good and bad. In any case, I'd like to start running an image creation task automatically nightly if possible. What do the people actually running the builders think about this? -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

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.

Hello everyone, A while ago I joined the fi-apprentice group and tried to help a little bit. Unfortunatelly I had to deal with personal staff and wasn't able to focus enough. I'd like to join back (for real this time ;) ). I currently work as a system administrator in a small company and I am preparing to get a RHCSA I have some knowledge in: - bash scripting - LAMP - Nagios - General linux adminstration - Little java, c and c++ ( I've made small contributions to the rekonq browser http://rekonq.kde.org). I know you guys use python quite a bit and I'm willing to learn as well :) My irc nickname is marcdeop Well, I think that's pretty much it. Thanks in advance, Marc

Home for fedocal
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi all, Several people have asked me where the fedocal project lives and where they could test and report bugs and make RFE, so I'm glad to announce, we found a home for fedocal: https://fedorahosted.org/fedocal/ Note that I managed to get Johan Cwiklinski (fas: trasher) on board to make of Márín's design [1] a reality (and he is already busy with that!) So please, open as many tickets as you would like and let's see if we can make something of fedocal :) Thanks, Pierre [1] http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/Fedora% 20Calendar/fedora-calendar.svg
