Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Zamir SUN

07 Feb '14

Hi all, I am Zamir SUN from China(UTC+8). I have subscribed the list for some time and now I decide to involve in. My FAS is zsun as well as for my IRC nickname. Now I am a student mainly focus on Linux. I have been helping the datacentern of our university with Apache httpd and tomcat. So I want to help with sysadmin-web FIG and to learn more about sysadmin skills. Unfortunately, it is 3:00am UTC+8 for infra weekly meeting here, so it is hard for me to attend meetings regularly. -- Zamir SUN zsun(a)fedoraproject.org zsun in #fedora-zh #openshift on freenode.net

Ansible and parallelism
by Aurelien Bompard 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi y'all! Small ansible question: I have this ansible playbook which uploads and runs a script to set some permissions in the database. This worked fine while the playbook was only executed on a single server, but now that mailman01 and 02 are being setup for prod, the script is executed on both machines, and tries to set the permissions in the same DB server at the same time, which produces a psycopg2.InternalError (tuple concurrently updated). Any idea how I can ask Ansible to not run this task in parallel on both servers? Any other way around this? Thanks, Aurélien

Ask Fedora: Do we need to add a "solved" tag to answered questions to increase visibility in search engines
by Ankur Sinha 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi, I don't think we had a formal discussion about this. We've noticed questions with [solved] in the summary recently. There are two scenarios when this is being used: - the question was answered properly, and the answer did actually help - the person did something like a reinstall, and the question isn't pertinent any more (the poster doesn't need it anymore, so he just adds [solved] and moves on.) We can always close questions with the "answer was accepted" solution, but I'm not for using that. More answers can always be given, and answers can always be improved. Here's the first proposal: - Add "Please do not add the [Solved] keyword to your question summaries. If you received an answer that solved the issue, please mark the answer as correct and reward the helper with karma." to the user guidelines. Now, the addition of the term "solved" somewhere in the question does help in a way: it helps improve search results, say google/bing/whatever (This is based on my basic understanding of SEO etc, please correct me if I'm mistaken). So, an additional proposal: - Mods add a "solved" tag to questions that they feel are properly answered, and the answer was accepted, just to ensure that search engines associate the term with the question. This will ensure that the second case mentioned earlier doesn't occur and improve search results too. google search -> "site:ask.fedoraproject.org create desktop shortcuts solved" Now, I do see that stack exchange doesn't do this sort of thing at all, so proposal 2 might not be required at all. Also, since we're now using instances for languages, shouldn't we have a set of guildelines for moderators, if we don't already? To ensure that everyone follows the same system etc.? I still need to talk to the Spanish mods about the use of the "user group" functionality. Should I ask them to join the infra ML, or is there a simpler way of speaking to all mods? Considering that we do all our discussion here, maybe they should be required to join the infra list? I think a separate ML for mods would be overkill. Comments? -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora! Come talk to us! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Join_SIG
