Hi guys and gals,
I am looking to join both the sysadmin-test and sysadmin-cvs groups. Why you might ask? Well I'll tell you. I wan't to get more involved in Fedora.
Here is my current Fedora resume...
- BugZapper for both KDE and Packagekit. - Maintain 20+ packages and am a Sponsor in the packaging group. - Work closely with the OLPC and Sugar folks at getting and maintaining the packages in Fedora - Responsible for creating builds of F11 with Sugar specifically for the OLPC XO-1 (Hope to get an XO-1.5 soon) see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 for info on this.
What I am looking to do now is create a very simplified bugzilla interface that can be used by OLPC users, mostly children, to report issues with Sugar Activities in Fedora. Will develop in PHP and would like to develop and test it on one of the publictest servers.
Also would like to help maintain the cvs servers and projects contained there.
Any questions just ask.

Is this intended to be deployed onto Fedora Infrastructure boxes eventually or just be developed/demoed on the publictest infrastructure? We haven't had development of known-non-Fedora stuff done previously but this might be a valid first case. If it's intended to run on Fedora Infrastructure, we very much prefer developing them in python. In fact, I don't think we have any non-python developed stuff.

I am ignorant of much of the context surrounding this, but it seems to me that this may be...
(1) technically an upstream-in-bugzilla project, perhaps (2) potentially awesome for getting feedback from fedora users (provide a better on-ramp for participation - though I don't know all the ways we're getting user feedback now, and how effective current methods are at turning users into contributors). This would be if the interface is generalizable to "simplified bugzilla interface" and is customizable for audiences beyond OLPC-using children.
If #2, might be handy to deploy for Fedora in general as well (so long as we can think of ways to make sure the feedback/brainstorms actually get filtered into actionableness, and that the folks who submit that feedback are encouraged to take those actions.)
These are side musings, though.

It is intended to run on Fedora infrastructure. It is going to be an alternate front end to our current bugzilla instance. It could be built upon to create different front ends for other user groups as well.
Developing it in Python will not be a problem. I am just in the beginning design stage atm.

Sounds like we both have similar goals here. I think having both a OS based app and a simple web interface for our bugreporting is a great idea.
Anything that makes it easier for normal users to report issues and give feedback will only lead to making Fedora a more user friendly distro.

I know that there were folks in the Desktop SIG who were interested in a more friendly bug filing Web interface, as well as other possibilities for lowering the fright factor of Bugzilla.

Yes its something that was discussed at FudCon in January, but now that Sugar/OLPC is basing itself on Fedora I feel its important to get something going.
