Setting up GitLab for fedorahosted.org
by Axilleas Pipinellis 01 May '13

01 May '13

Greetings from a newly registered member! I've seen the 'GSoC @ Infra' thread but I didn't want to hijack it nor do I know how to reply to a thread through mailman... I will be applying for GSoC this summer and GitLab is my first priority as I have been using it since version 2 and I want to contribute in any way I can. I have been talking with Vit Ondruch about the packaging procedure and I just sent a mail [0] to the ruby-sig list too, regarding this. I have also read last year's discussion [1] and it was made clear by Dan Allen [2] that besides the whole implementation thing, it is as important to find some people that will maintain the project longterm. And I am willing to do this. I don't know if it is possible for more than one person to work on a project during GSoC, but another fellow is interested in this as well [3]. So, now we are two :p This should be very interesting and I am looking forward to hearing from the infra team :) Regards, Axilleas [0] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ruby-sig/2013-March/001270.html [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2012-March/011466.… [2] https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gitlabhq/SQMDi-yyXmU [3] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/summer-coding/2013-March/000286.h…

Looking for GSoC Mentors
by Toshio Kuratomi 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Greetings all, At today's infrastructure meeting we talked briefly about what projects we might be able to do for GSoC. Unfortunately we quickkly ran into the hard reality of not having any core team members with the time to mentor for GSoC at the meeting. So we're asking the list -- is there anyone here that has the time to mentor GSoC students? Doing so is a commitment to help refine the project initially, to review the applications to all of Fedora to select the best ones, to answer questions that the student has, to keep track of the student's progress (at least enough to give them a pass fail at the midterm and final), to help the student figure out what features they can cut if a project goes to long or let them know if they are falling behind. We do have some interested candidates -- so please, register your interest in mentoring and what general area of Fedora you'd be willing to mentor for. Then students can start working with you to come up with a good project that can help everyone. Thanks, -Toshio

comments on mentoring
by Jerzy Różański 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

First I think that mentoring mentioned by Toshio requires a structured knowledge about projects fedora in the past. Second need some experience in the implementation of environmental objectives for the open source Google. 3rd assessment alone is not enough. My attention, it is also a need for some kind of consultancy services. In my case it is not, for example, python, but C / C + + - are still opportunities to write additional modules etc. Thank you for using the interview after the meeting: nirik, joelcox Jerzy Rozanski (jerzyr)

backups
by Seth Vidal 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

After a super-fun-time debacle restoring a single file today I'd like to talk about our backups a bit. Right now our backups are: - bacula to a few central servers and then off to tape. That seems like it is not scaling super-duper well for our size of disk storage. It also seems like it is a wee bit cumbersome to use. :) In the best of all possible infinite-money worlds I'd love to have enough disk space to offer multiple snapshots of every filesystem and/or a complete disk-to-disk copy with deduping (obnam) or with reverse diffs (rdiff-backup). But let's assume that world is not likely to exist and figure a few things out: 1. where are we backing up that we don't need to? 2. are there places that we can backup that really would benefit from being a warmer-backup always available in a filesystem somewhere 3. Is there any good way to couple snapshots with our tape system to make our backups a little simpler to deal with? 4. What level of bare metal-disaster-recovery do we actually HAVE with our existing system and have we ever tested any of those cases? I do not know when I will get the time to put into fixing any of these things up - but after today it is clearly on my list of things to think about. -sv

Hello, I am Harish Ved and I am an undergraduate student from India. I am very interested in working with Fedora community and I intend to undertake the project of 'Deploying GitLab for fedorahosted.org' as my GSOC project. I have had some past non-open-source project experience in php, javascript and ruby. I can work with C, C++, java. I would like to join the infrastructure team and since I don't have any past experience of working with fedora, I would appreciate any help that would allow me to contribute to fedora. Regards, Harish Ved.
