Document Freedom Day
by Huiren Woo 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hello friends, Document Freedom Day [1] is going to happen in two months' time. This is one of the events discussed during FAD 2015 [2] and that we've set aside a budget for. What do you think we guys should do? Should we buy some cake and have a party with folks at Hackerspace? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks! :) [1] http://documentfreedom.org/ [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Singapore_2015/Events

OpenSSH Client Bug CVE-2016-0777 and CVE-2016-0778
by Danishka Navin 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

The OpenSSH project today reported a client side issue affecting OpenSSH versions 5.4 - 7.1. This issue could allow an SSH client to leak key information, potentially exposing users to man-in-the-middle attacks. What does this mean? A key exchange is initiated when an SSH client connects to a server. A new "roaming" feature included in the OpenSSH client can be exploited and a malicious server could use this issue to leak client memory to the server, including private client user keys. Who is affected? This issue affects the OpenSSH client (not server) on most modern operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OSX. This issue may also affect users running OpenSSH for Windows but does not affect users using PuTTY on Windows. That means you don't have to update OpenSSH on your Droplet (the server side), but you should update the OpenSSH client on your local computer. If you want to cover all your bases, you could generate new key pairs and upload the new public keys to your servers (see the second-to-last section for details). How to fix the isssue While patches and updates are being rolled out for affected distributions, the feature causing this security issue can be disabled manually in order to resolve the issue. On OS X, Linux and BSD variants this can be done by adding a line to your SSH configuration. On Linux and FreeBSD Run the following command to add the new line to your configuration: echo 'UseRoaming no' | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/ssh_config On Mac OSX Run the following command to add the new line to your configuration: echo "UseRoaming no" >> ~/.ssh/config -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin http://www.flickr.com/photos/danishkanavin/

Hello Fedora Ambassadors in SG, There are some upcoming events and things that we will need to settle. *IoT Hack @ SG* As discussed during FAD 2015 <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Singapore_2015/Events>, we will be organising a Hackathon in mid 2016 (early May). Your input with regards to this event is appreciated: http://piratepad.net/RTbNFk93ZD Timeline and date of this event needs to be finalised before 28 December. *Update of APAC material list* As mentioned 3 weeks back, the APAC material list has still not been updated. For those who have any materials related to Fedora, please add your items to the list so that Fedora APAC can keep track of these materials: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/Materials Thanks. *FOSSAsia* Please mark your calendars and reserve these dates: March 18th - 20th 2016. I might not be able to attend for the first day as I have school activities on. Do let everyone know your availability to attend this event. Thanks everyone and have a merry Christmas! :) Best Regards, Woo Huiren https://woohuiren.me

Slack Group
by Huiren Woo 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi friends, I've taken the initiative to create a Slack chat group [1]. Unfortunately, Slack is a proprietary PaaS, but they do contribute some code to Github [2]. The purpose of this Slack group is to engage with users of Fedora and get users on-board to Linux. I believe that the chat group would be useful in future as more and more people are using Slack as a communication tool [3] and in my opinion, Slack is a pretty neat communication tool. Do let me know what you guys think and if you guys want to join the group, do let me know your fedora email address so I can add you in. If you've never use Slack before, do drop me a personal email so that I can get you started with it.

FUDCon APAC
by Huiren Woo 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

Hi everyone, Are we still bidding for FUDCon APAC [1] or has that already been decided? From the previous FAD, I recall someone mentioned about FUD in China or something but I've checked the FAD event list plannings but there was nothing [2]. So I'm not exactly sure what is going on. Would be great if someone could update on this. Thanks. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Singapore_2016 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Singapore_2015/Events
