Zikula fasauth status
by David Nalley 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Simon stopped by in IRC today and worked with Mel on getting FASAuth to properly use FAS groups for granting privileges. They tested this successfully. I grabbed the changes and committed them to the git repository and branched 0.3 I kicked off a new srpm which you can find here: http://ke4qqq.fedorapeople.org/zikula-module-fedora-fasauth-0.3-1.fc13.src.… So action items from this: 1. We need to test that this RPM did in fact grab all of the changes and that it works as it is supposed from the RPM. 2. We need someone in sysadmin-main to look at commit the above package to the infra repo. 3. Mel - you can now take me off your nag list :) I'll try and participate in #1 in coordination with others, though it may be the weekend before my schedule frees up enough to sink any serious effort into it. If someone else wants to pick this up and run with it, feel free to. Thoughts/comments/flames?

How to submit articles to FI: updated pages from Pascal
by Mel Chua 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

I took the pages that Pascal started (and beautifully screenshotted) and fleshed the instructions in a bit, and added notes about the work remaining to be done on each page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight_Workflow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight_General_News_Workflow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight_FWN_Workflow I forgot my fake-FAS password (I just reset it) but don't know how long it takes to sync back to publictest, so I may not be able to test pushing through an article in time... everything except for the "publish/ready to publish" buttons work for me, though, fwiw. --Mel

Weekly Fedora Insight Sprint/Meetings
by Pascal Calarco 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi Logistics, Marketing and News teams -- We've heard from almost all of the peeps who've been involved with Fedora Insight[1], and we have two slots open where everyone can make it, although Hiemanshu has requested that we prefer 18:00 UTC or earlier, and so between Mondays 20:00 UTC and Thursdays 18:00 UTC, we'll pick the earlier time. Mike McGrath encourages us to finish up the infrastructure/logistics components of this, as these get frozen well in advance of the F13 launch, so we should focus on outstanding issues for packaging for staging first. #fedora-meeting is available at this time, so I have booked this[2] and also moved the old Zikula implementation meeting, which was Wednesdays 14:00 UTC. I'll spend some time this afternoon doing some wiki gardening on the existing Fedora Insight page, as at last week's Marketing FAD we also thought it mighty long in the tooth for ideal access. Its not too late to join us, just hit the Doodle poll below to let us know your interest and availability going forward. See you Thursday at 14:00 UTC #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net! - pascal [1] http://www.doodle.com/gbnedec5x38ws5zq [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meeting_channel

Fedora Insight: Weekly Sprint/Meeting for F13 launch
by Pascal Calarco 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

We would like to start up the Fedora Insight weekly meetings again, and so I have opened a poll asking when folks who have been involved in the preproduction packaging, configuration, templating and content testing could meet. Others are most welcome to join us. We will meet on IRC in an appropriate available meeting room, either #fedora-meeting or #fedora-meeting-1. Please fill out the poll below to indicate the day and time of the week which would work for you http://www.doodle.com/gbnedec5x38ws5zq We hope to start these weekly meetings starting this coming week, through early May. Thanks! - pascal --- Editor, Fedora Weekly News Fedora Ambassador, Indiana, USA https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pcalarco

get tracking for the release?
by Mike McGrath 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Should we start doing click tracking for the release to see where our users are coming from? For example, in the email announcement that goes out we could have: http://get.fedoraproject.org/?ma Or for the press release that goes out we could have: http://get.fedoraproject.org/?pr Low cost change that we could track even for the alpha. Thoughts? -Mike

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
