Fedora Insight sprint summary: 2010-02-28
by Pascal Calarco 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Simon Birtwhistle (itbegins), Hiemanshu Sharma (hiemanshu), Pascal Calarco (pcalarco), Karsten Wade (quaid), David Nalley (ke4qqq), and Jon Stanley (jds2001) got together at various points on #fedora-meeting-1 throughout the day yesterday to work on Fedora Insight. Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-02-27/fedora-meeting… Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-02-27/fedora-meeting… Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-02-27/fedora-meeting… Here is a very brief summary that leaves out much detail. The team accomplished an amazing amount of work with kudos particularly going to Simon and Hiemanshu for doing the bulk of the work. The team structured work around a set of TRAC tickets: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2006 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2007 1. Upgrading Publictest6 ------------------------- The main work concentrated on upgrading the Zikula instance on publictest6, from 1.1.2 to 1.2.2. Simon upgraded this by hand, while Hiemanshu packaged the new Zikula 1.2.2. A new version (0.40) of the Zikula module, pagemaster, was also installed on pt6. Once an RPM package was ready to review, a note was sent off to David Nalley, who joined in the channel a bit later. 2. Repository for Zikula 1.2.2 ------------------------------ A discussion ensued about packaging guidelines and whether an exception could be made for Zikula 1.2.2 around one of the deprecated Zikula-specific bundled libraries included in the package, zikula-php-gettext that had some packaging and licensing issues. Jon Stanley joined shortly thereafter as well. A new TRAC ticket came out of this discussion (thank you, Karsten): https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2008 3. Pagemaster templating ------------------------ Hiemanshu and Simon worked together to next focus on customizing the UI templates for pagemaster, a Zikula module that the key for the content model and workflow that we need for Fedora Insight. The first content we are focusing on is that of Fedora Weekly News (FWN), and so we worked on customizing the templates for that workflow, with a more generic set of templates and workflow defined for general news items. In Pagemaster terms, these are different publication types and templates, with different workflow defined for each. 4. Iterative testing with FWN Content ------------------------------------- Pascal Calarco started loaded past FWN individual beats, and the team worked on having the template aggregate these into a given FWN Issue on Fedora Insight. The two different workflows were used for this: FWN pubtype for individual FWN beats, and then creating a posting for the front page of Fedora Insight pointing to the aggregated issue: http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/index.php?module=pagemaster&tid… (requires FAS test authentication) http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/ We substantially completed the FWN workflow, although a couple more TRAC tickets will be opened up and worked on to further finesse the workflow, create RSS functionality, and other items. In the short term, none of the workflow from the FWN beat writers perspective needs to change; the change is that the FWN editor reposts content to Fedora Insight once it is posted. The Fedora Insight proposed workflow for FWN (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/FIWorkFlow) will be updated to reflect the outcomes. What remains: * upgrading Zikula and pagemaster on staging * moving over database from pt6 to staging to reflect template customization * creating RSS functionality for FWN at the beat and issue level * defining and documenting authorization levels between conten contributors, editors, administrators * tweaking the FWN pubtype Admin menu to improve editing efficiency * discussing, decisioning and documenting standards for FWN content from wiki source * testing generic news pubtype with other content A huge thanks to Simon Birtwhistle (Zikula.org) and Hiemanshu Sharma (Fedora Marketing), and Karsten Wade (Logistics/Community Infrastructure) for the amazing amount of work we accomplished yesterday! Lots of work to do yet, but we made substantial progress on the core infrastructure for Fedora Insight. - pascal ----- Pascal Calarco Editor, Fedora Weekly News Fedora Ambassador, Indiana, USA

start.fedoraproject.org
by Mike McGrath 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

I've been wondering if there's something more we can do with start.fedoraproject.org. I was thinking about adding more information to the site without cluttering it up. We chatted in #fedora-websites for a bit and thought about this: 2 boxes Each box contains 3 "news" items Each item would contain a title link, and very brief description One box would be for Fedora Project news "Test day tomorrow", "Public Fedora Board Meeting" One box would be for Fedora OS news "Alpha is out" "Try the new security spin", etc. We were thinking about adding it along the left side if there's enough room. Some mockups will help identify best locations for sure. Any thoughts/comments on it? -Mike

Fedora Insight sprint this weekend: HTML/CSS designers needed!
by Pascal Calarco 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hi Logistics, Marketing and News teams -- From a brief IRC conversation on #fedora-mktg yesterday with itbegins (Simon Birtwhistle), we thought of trying to get some people together this weekend to make real headway on Fedora Insight UI customization on the staging server. Some tasks we hope to accomplish: * cross-train some designers with HTML & CSS skills to know the Zikula internals and particulars of where and how to customize for Fedora Insight * complete the work remaining for Fedora Weekly News' workflow to begin using Fedora Insight for a near-future FWN publishing vehicle * get stuff in place for the Fedora Marketing FAD in a couple weeks so we can complete Fedora Insight there for FWN production launch in mid-late March If you are interested and available, please take a look at the Doodle poll below and we'll pick out some time this weekend when we can work on this as a group: http://doodle.com/v4kg37x8v5q2vity Mel, do you have a suggestion as to which freenode channel we should use for something like this? Perhaps #fedora-meeting-1 ? Thanks, everyone! - pascal ---- Pascal Calarco Fedora Weekly News editor Fedora Ambassador, Indiana, USA

Re: Fwd: zikula-module-advanced_polls Help

Frank - the logistics list is where we're coordinating a lot of the zikula work right now (since it's so cross-team), so I'm copying them to see if there's anything we can do to take a look and help out. Logistics folks: Frank's been working on getting the Advanced Polls module working, but has run into problems - see below. Any thoughts? Frank: Could you point us towards a ticket (if you've filed one somewhere) or a way to get account info for pt16 so we can duplicate what you're getting? (Does this happen for other zikula installs, or just the pt16 one - what happens if you set zikula up on localhost?)

I don't know the answer to this one - I looked in the zikula forums for "feeds" and came up empty-handed (http://community.zikula.org/module-Search-search.htm). If nobody on this list knows the answer, it might be time to take the question upstream - I'm not sure I understand the problem fully, but with instructions/screenshots/a walkthrough of the questions I'd be happy to serve as a forums-proxy. >> Also, last weekend I pushed some changes to the theme: >> >> http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git?p=fedora-insight-… Thanks, Craig! I think we just have one blocker left now on the design (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/85) and Hiemanshu is back from traveling now so hopefully we'll have all these changes pushed to a package ready to test out pretty soon. --Mel

Fedora Insight staging accounts
by Pascal Calarco 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

What's the preferred method of requesting accounts for the Zikula staging server? Should I open a Trac request and to which team? I requested an account through Zikula on Monday and haven't heard anything. Thanks! - pascal

Zikula UI needs
by Pascal Calarco 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Simon and I got a fair ways to putting into place the UI components on Zikula on publictest6 at FUDCon back in December, and what we need next on the staging server is to have some of that work re-created or moved over. Compare: http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/index.php?module=pagemaster&typ… with https://stg.fedoraproject.org/insight/index.php?module=pagemaster Right now the components indeed might be further along on staging, but there is nothing there for workflow for writers and editors to submit, review and decision. I have a couple SVGs showing the differences between the two that I can send along or post to the wiki to show the difference. Thanks! - pascal
