To: susmit shannigrahi <thinklinux.ssh(a)gmail.com>
Hi Susmit,
How's it going? How was the other event at Kolkata?
Thanks for informing. I have already joined the group. I am starting the
work on Fedora repository at our college. Wanted your help in that. Can
you summarize how to go about it. We want it to be intracollege repository
since keeping it open will increase the burden on servers here. So it
would be great help if can provide help in it.
thanks and regards,
Anand.

AXIS'08 follow-up
by susmit shannigrahi
Hi list,
So, this[1] is the follow up of our AXIS'08 excursion.
The group is new, (only a week, operational for a couple of days) so
don't expect much content over there.
We are actively participating there.
Please join them if you have some spare time as they are totally new
and need a bit guidance.
I hope to get a couple of active ambassadors in a couple of week or so.

Thanks.

Susmit.

Release Events Budget Preview - Last Call
by Francesco Ugolini
This is the last call for Release Events Owners to post their own
budget preview in order to be qualified to get some resources.
Actually I see only 2 budget preview in Fedora Ambassadors List.
If you have sent something directly to FAmSCo, please resend it in
Ambassadors List and, optionally, to me.
If you have added your preview in the details on your Release Event
wiki page, please let me know.
Thank you for your precious collaboration and for your work
Best regards

FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2008-10-15
by inode0
inode0 was roped into leading the meeting.
* Jon Stanley introduced us to the madness of bug triaging. We went over
the process involved in joining the group, how to get started once the
formalities are finished, how to find bugs to triage, identify low hanging
bugs that beginners can process, where to get help on more advanced issues
or just get some feedback that what you've done is correct.
inode0 volunteered to be an example of a new bug triager and went through
the process live during the meeting - triaging his first bug. Several of
the ambassadors are going to triage some bugs this week and join the weekly
triage meeting next week to report about our experience and have further
discussion.
* Ohio LinuxFest Report
Several ambassadors reported on their impressions of OLF. Everyone was
very pleased with event and especially with the buzz of constant activity
at the Fedora booth. The first NA event box was in use and on display.
In addition to the generous contribution of 4 XO laptops from OLPC it
now looks like we have a commitment from HP to provide us with 4 2133
netbooks to also travel around the continent in our event boxes and be used
at Fedora booths everywhere. Thanks OLPC and HP for your support.
* Fedora Ambassador Day NA
Several ambassadors also reported on the first FADNA event held mostly the
day following OLF. I'm sure those of us lucky enough to attend this will
look back fondly in years to come recalling it as a seminal moment in the
NA ambassador program. We would encourage all to read the many blogs that
have already hit the planet and this mailing list concerning details of
the event. A collection of notes from the meetings is also available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADNA2008#Meeting_Notes
* Miscellaneous other business was discussed and the meeting adjourned.
I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new
ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight and our guest speaker
Jon Stanley.

<spevack> It was a good event from the perspective of seeing several
community members -- we had some good discussions, and pre-meeting for
FAD topics (like LinuxTag)
<spevack> I think everyone would have liked to see more traffic overall
at OpenExpo
<spevack> yesterday I spoke to 30 university students in The Hague
University
<spevack> and that went really well
<spevack> i think we will get a few new contributors, I hope.

munic (spevack), so I get no last-response (I know it was late and
expensive) can I assume, that there will be no budget for this year?

it for next year in detail...

long releases + 1 month. the odd no. releases are scraped and instead of
them like opensolaris test releases which are released every two weeks
except for a month after release of 1 long release. in that month features
are planned for the next long release. a new long release will be released
after 1 yr. the numbering system of those 2 week testing release will be as
follows ;after 1 month of release 10 long it will be 11.05 , 11.1 , 11.15 as

just be lurking)

(08:01:50 PM) ***jds2001
(08:01:55 PM) jds2001: Jon Stanley
(08:02:04 PM) ke4qqq: david nalley
(08:02:59 PM) inode0: I'd like to start by extending out thanks to
jds2001 for agreeing to speak with us about the bug triage efforts he
is leading
(08:03:23 PM) jds2001: not a problem :)
(08:03:37 PM) inode0: jds2001: Would you give us an overview now of
how folks get started zapping bugs?
(08:04:02 PM) jds2001: sure, it's a tad unstructured
(08:04:22 PM) jds2001: what basically needs to happen is get a FAS account
(08:04:30 PM) jds2001: and apply for the 'fedorabugs' group
(08:04:56 PM) ***jds2001 is a sponsor in that group, so I get mail
every time someone does that.
(08:05:06 PM) jds2001: and I go click the button.
(08:05:20 PM) jds2001: then you can start going forth.
(08:05:28 PM) jds2001: perhaps that's a tad *too* unstructured?
(08:05:40 PM) herlo: going forth doing what?
(08:05:43 PM) inode0: so I do that? how do I go forth? :)
(08:05:51 PM) jds2001: oh, we have weekly meetings at 14:00UTC on Tuesdays
(08:06:44 PM) jds2001: well we have wiki pages on how to do that
(08:07:06 PM) jds2001: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Joining
(08:07:23 PM) inode0: one of the things we would like to learn is how
to spot good triaging prospects for you
(08:07:40 PM) jds2001: hmm, that's a tough oone
(08:07:42 PM) inode0: what sort of characteristics should we look for?
(08:07:59 PM) jds2001: folks that enjoy lots of work and getting
flamed for it? :)
(08:08:27 PM) jds2001: seriously, a good triagers would have some sort
of experience (need not be a whole lot)
(08:08:37 PM) herlo: I think maybe we should ask what triaging is and
how one might get started...
(08:08:52 PM) herlo: I don't see any references as to how to do that
on the page you gave
(08:09:08 PM) jds2001: go up one level
(08:09:51 PM) jds2001: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/GettingStarted
(08:10:07 PM) jds2001: is that more what you're looking for?
(08:10:38 PM) jds2001: we have an array of pages underneath the
BugZappers namespace
(08:10:57 PM) herlo: yeah, I see that
(08:11:26 PM) pcalarco: so a lot of it is trying to replicate bugs
across different hardware as part of the triaging?
(08:11:29 PM) herlo: I guess what I am after is a way to go from join
to bug triage in a short time
(08:13:04 PM) jds2001: pcalarco: that can be part of it.
(08:13:19 PM) ***vwbusguy- <- sorry for being late
(08:13:19 PM) herlo: jds2001: so I'd like you to take a moment and
actually walk us through what you'd do if someone signed up for
bugzappers and wanted to get started
(08:13:53 PM) herlo: but really didn't understand the wiki pages that
well, becuase currently, that's a lot to read and I'd like to just
have a quickstart guide
(08:13:57 PM) jds2001: sure, they make contact, I point them to the
guidelines and how to find new bugs
(08:14:31 PM) jds2001: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/FindingBugs
(08:14:42 PM) herlo: k, so let me back up a little
(08:15:18 PM) herlo: last week we asked a ton of questions of mizmo
about art, and one of them was basically to get her to layout the
process step-by-step here
(08:15:30 PM) jds2001: ok
(08:15:37 PM) jds2001: 1) sign up for a bugzilla acct
(08:15:40 PM) herlo: and so I wonder if, rather than pointing us to
the wiki, if you could kinda do that
(08:15:42 PM) jds2001: 2) sign up for a FAS acct
(08:15:54 PM) jds2001: 3) apply for the 'fedorabugs' group
(08:16:08 PM) ***lcafiero sheepishly sneaks in
(08:16:16 PM) jds2001: (note that approval there is automatic provided cla_done)
(08:16:22 PM) herlo: oh, wow
(08:16:34 PM) ***vwbusguy- didn't realize it was that easy
(08:16:59 PM) jds2001: 4) wait a bit for bugzilla to sync, and you
have the necessary access
(08:17:08 PM) herlo: 1-2 hrs then?
(08:17:27 PM) jds2001: i think the bugzilla sync happens at the top of
the hour, yeaahs
(08:18:24 PM) herlo: jds2001: so what's next?
(08:18:34 PM) jds2001: then you find a bug, and start triagaing it.
(08:18:50 PM) inode0: I have done 1-4, really
(08:19:01 PM) herlo: how does one find a bug? How do you know what
triaging is done
(08:19:03 PM) inode0: I don't know how to proceed
(08:19:04 PM) jds2001: in order to do that, you need to know that the
bug in question is well-described and is something actionable for a
developer
(08:19:38 PM) herlo: I still don't see how I get to bugzilla from here
(08:19:47 PM) jds2001: OK, you can find a bug via RSS feed, via some
preformatted queries we have, etc
(08:19:47 PM) ***herlo is playing devils advocate
(08:20:09 PM) jds2001: yeah, come to think of it the process is
probably a little busted
(08:20:23 PM) jds2001: maybe it'a bit *too* easy and unstructured.
(08:20:34 PM) herlo: which is our goal, to help you get more people we
need to understand the *small* details
(08:20:38 PM) jds2001: but we didn't want to put tons of beuaarucatatic stuff
(08:20:52 PM) ***inode0 notes that it is a bad idea to try to paste
preformatted query example in here
(08:20:55 PM) herlo: no argument there
(08:21:06 PM) DemonJester: I wouldnt say busted there is just a lot of
assumptions after the sign up which can intimidate folks I think.
(08:21:13 PM) herlo: inode0: a screenshot?
(08:21:15 PM) jds2001: http://feeds.feedburner.com/rawhide-new-7days
(08:21:38 PM) inode0:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/FindingBugs <- links here
(08:22:41 PM) inode0: 2798 bugs found.
(08:22:43 PM) ***herlo goes back to asking the questions here and
expecting simple answers here
(08:22:53 PM) herlo: maybe I shouldn't though
(08:23:04 PM) jds2001: no, it's a valid point.
(08:23:18 PM) herlo: I don't understand the FindingBugs page
(08:23:26 PM) jds2001: how does one *find* that wiki page assuming
they haven't seen our wiki?
(08:23:43 PM) inode0: on what possible basis do I choose one? don't I
need to know something about other bugs before processing one?
(08:23:45 PM) herlo: google search :)
(08:24:08 PM) herlo: inode0: is that statement directed at me?
(08:24:21 PM) jds2001: you can conceivaably pick any of those 2798 bugs
(08:24:22 PM) inode0: jds2001 but if you can answer it I'm ok with that :)
(08:24:39 PM) herlo: k, just checking
(08:25:14 PM) jds2001: so what these queries look for is bugs in a state of NEW
(08:25:35 PM) jds2001: which supposedly (but not in practice) means
that no one has looked at them
(08:26:10 PM) ***DemonJester found that out the hard way.
(08:26:17 PM) jds2001: if there's a bug that you click on that has
the assignee looking at it, just move it to ASSIGNED and move on.
(08:26:58 PM) jds2001: and you gain the access to do that by
completing the signup steps.
(08:27:07 PM) inode0: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463410
(08:27:09 PM) buggbot: Bug 463410: medium, medium, ---,
axel.thimm(a)atrpms.net, NEW, AVC Denial fail2ban
(08:27:14 PM) ke4qqq: except for package review stuff
(08:27:18 PM) inode0: so that would be a candidate for this?
(08:27:34 PM) jds2001: lemme look, bugzilla is slow
(08:27:47 PM) jds2001: but looking at buggbot's summary, yes
(08:28:02 PM) jds2001: it's in NEW, etc
(08:28:07 PM) ***inode0 might process his first bug tonight
(08:28:22 PM) jds2001: now this one may need to be moved to
selinux-policy-targeted if it's not already there
(08:28:44 PM) ***jds2001 still waiting for it to load
(08:29:00 PM) ***inode0 waiting to login
(08:29:03 PM) jds2001: so AVC denials go against the policy
(08:29:19 PM) jds2001: that way dwalsh can see it and do his magic :)
(08:30:08 PM) herlo: what do you mean 'against the poicy'?
(08:30:42 PM) inode0: the selinux policy
(08:30:45 PM) inode0: component
(08:31:03 PM) herlo: so you triage it to the right person or what?
(08:31:23 PM) jds2001: yep
(08:31:36 PM) jds2001: looks as though dwalsh had already looked at
this one, though
(08:31:49 PM) herlo: how do yo uknow the right person?
(08:31:57 PM) ***herlo is still waiting for bugzilla to load
(08:32:09 PM) ke4qqq: herlo you don't assign a person you assign a component
(08:32:20 PM) ke4qqq: bz automagically knows the person based on the component
(08:32:24 PM) jds2001: right
(08:32:38 PM) inode0: ok, this looks like fail2ban badness, not
selinux policy badness
(08:32:48 PM) inode0: so I think it stays here, but moves to assigned?
(08:33:29 PM) jds2001: right
(08:33:43 PM) herlo: so how do you do that, click edit or something?
(08:33:56 PM) ***herlo still ahs to login it seems
(08:33:58 PM) inode0: shall I fire?
(08:34:32 PM) ke4qqq: yes!
(08:34:33 PM) inode0: anything beyond moving to assigned to do at this point?
(08:35:10 PM) jds2001: nope
(08:35:40 PM) jds2001: soryy stepped away for a few seconds to grab a coke :)
(08:35:45 PM) inode0: should I have looked through other fail2ban and
targeted policy bugs for dup?
(08:35:58 PM) jds2001: yes.
(08:36:03 PM) ***jds2001 forgot about that
(08:36:08 PM) jds2001: there are some tools for thagt
(08:36:26 PM) jds2001: bugz.fp.o/<component> is what i use for small components
(08:36:27 PM) inode0: it is assigned anyway - missile launched
(08:36:33 PM) jds2001: in terms of number of bugs
(08:36:38 PM) jds2001: this is another thing about triage
(08:36:51 PM) jds2001: if you make a mistake, it's really not the end
of the world :)
(08:37:04 PM) jds2001: you can go undo it.
(08:37:15 PM) ke4qqq: so kinda like the wiki - triage boldly?
(08:37:41 PM) ***inode0 does happy dance and shouts opa! opa! opa!
while joining the triage team
(08:38:00 PM) jds2001: ke4qqq: exactly
(08:38:34 PM) jds2001: you can always see the history, and you can't
really do an action that can't be undone :)
(08:38:37 PM) inode0: is there any sort of review process, to help me,
uh, a new triager, gain confidence in what they are doing?
(08:38:54 PM) jds2001: sure, stop by #fedora-qa
(08:39:11 PM) jds2001: if you have questions, send them to f-t-l
(08:39:14 PM) ke4qqq: so let me ask something jds2001 - so if we want
to assign homework of triaging 10 bugs per ambassador by next
week.....can we come to you and polecat and ask questions and get that
'review'
(08:39:16 PM) inode0: and say what, will someone look at this and see
if I did it ok?
(08:40:41 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: exactly - provide a link to the bug and
what you are thinking of doing
(08:41:02 PM) ke4qqq: and people there are pretty helpful
(08:41:29 PM) jds2001: take this for example:
(08:41:33 PM) jds2001:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-September/msg00493....
(08:42:54 PM) ***inode0 steps away for a minute
(08:43:00 PM) ***vwbusguy- has no idea how to be a triager.
(08:43:20 PM) jds2001: vwbusguy-: how so?
(08:43:26 PM) ke4qqq: so what of this doesn't make sense
(08:43:33 PM) ke4qqq: that's what we need to capture
(08:43:49 PM) vwbusguy-: maybe I'm just not familiar with the word 'triage'
(08:44:03 PM) jds2001: ok, that's easy
(08:44:05 PM) vwbusguy-: is that like deciding where bugs go, how
they're assigned?
(08:44:10 PM) jds2001: yes
(08:44:12 PM) vwbusguy-: ok
(08:44:16 PM) jds2001: sort, categorize, etc
(08:44:22 PM) vwbusguy-: just a difference in terminology then
(08:44:27 PM) vwbusguy-: I'm used to in house terms for it
(08:44:34 PM) jds2001: what did you think it required?
(08:44:36 PM) vwbusguy-: (Criterion Controls Board)
(08:44:41 PM) herlo: 1) The principle or practice of prioritizing
patients in an emergency situation in which there are a great number
of injured or ill
(08:44:47 PM) herlo: that's the most common definition
(08:44:55 PM) vwbusguy-: haha
(08:45:22 PM) vwbusguy-: triage sounded like a French-based word
pertaining with something to do with three
(08:45:34 PM) jds2001: lol
(08:46:01 PM) jds2001: instead of priortizing patients, we're
prioritizing bugs. And there are a great number :)
(08:46:07 PM) herlo: vwbusguy-: menage a trois
(08:46:12 PM) herlo: that's what you are thinking of
(08:46:43 PM) jds2001: if you want to be more advanced, you can even
align bugs to blockers, etc if they'er that important
(08:48:05 PM) inode0: you sometimes have mentoring irc sessions?
(08:48:20 PM) ***vwbusguy- is getting way sleepy.
(08:48:20 PM) jds2001: occasionally during the weekly meetings.
(08:48:39 PM) jds2001: we're thinking about doing focused bug days, too.
(08:48:48 PM) inode0: how many active triagers do you have now if you know?
(08:49:12 PM) jds2001: no idea
(08:49:55 PM) inode0: ok, what percentage of bugs are generally
outstanding? how large the problem is sort of what I'm looking for?
(08:50:01 PM) jds2001: 14 according to our page
(08:50:26 PM) inode0: 14 seems way too small a group
(08:50:38 PM) jds2001: mcepl gave us bad news today though :(
(08:51:13 PM) vwbusguy-: ok, I gotta go to bed
(08:51:14 PM) jds2001: 22:26 < mcepl> poelcat: I am not sure in which
all places I have reported my situation ...
(08:51:17 PM) jds2001: 22:27 < mcepl> my wife broke her foot, so I got
daddy-cares-for-children medical leave to watch over kids. I will
probably be around IRC after 15:00 EST, but I cannot promise anything
regular for next couple of weeks (three or four)
(08:52:39 PM) ke4qqq: so does everyone now feel comfortable and feel
like you can go start triaging?
(08:52:52 PM) inode0: I started tonight!
(08:53:19 PM) jds2001: more importantly, can we pick up new
contributors at events and such?
(08:53:25 PM) pcalarco: I'm willing to give it a shot; seems like it
is a good learning opportunity as well
(08:53:27 PM) inode0: I don't feel entirely comfortable but will try
to continue and ask question in fedora-qa this week
(08:53:28 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I don't intend to do much of it, but I
understand it better
(08:53:47 PM) ***jds2001 will have my GXP-2000 sometime soon, so call
me if you have issues!
(08:53:50 PM) herlo: I like that I can help others do this if they
don't know what else they can do since its pretty simple...
(08:54:11 PM) ke4qqq: so can we take the action item to do 10 by next
week so we can talk intelligently about bug triaging?
(08:54:38 PM) ke4qqq: anyone find that offensive??
(08:54:41 PM) inode0: Maybe those of us who are interested should
attend the meeting of triagers next week
(08:54:48 PM) ke4qqq: ohhh +1
(08:54:58 PM) ***ke4qqq claims inode0 as a recruit :)
(08:55:04 PM) ke4qqq: lol
(08:55:10 PM) inode0: we can give some feedback about our experience
(08:55:20 PM) jds2001: we would love that!
(08:55:29 PM) ***inode0 was already in the group but as a jds2001 guinnea pig
(08:55:37 PM) jds2001: 14:00UTC Tuesday right here!
(08:55:47 PM) jds2001: pcalarco: you learn a lot
(08:55:55 PM) herlo: jds2001: what time is that EDT?
(08:56:01 PM) jds2001: herlo: 10:00
(08:56:11 PM) inode0: I think if some of get a decent feel for it we
will also be more comfortable encouraging others
(08:56:26 PM) ke4qqq: exactly inode0
(08:56:40 PM) herlo: jds2001: so I could possible make one of thos
emeetings when I'm home then
(08:57:01 PM) inode0: we are about 1 hour in, anything else for
jds2001 before we close this and move on?
(08:57:03 PM) jds2001: sure, you normally lecturing at that time or something?
(08:57:14 PM) jds2001: if you have to come and go, that's fine too :)
(08:57:56 PM) jds2001: am I getting kicked out or something? :)
(08:58:01 PM) ke4qqq: jds2001: can you or poelcat run reports for us
next tuesday so we can see how many bugs we have done
(08:58:06 PM) inode0: my impression is that beginners can work on
really low hanging fruit, more experience triagers can do more
(08:58:15 PM) jds2001: inode0: exactly
(08:58:33 PM) herlo: jds2001: no kicking you out, you rock
(08:58:46 PM) jds2001: REALLY low hanging fruit is stuff that's been
in needinfo for 30 days+
(08:59:00 PM) jds2001: trying to either nudge it along or closing it.
(08:59:05 PM) ke4qqq: yes - I had a query for that somewhere
(08:59:08 PM) inode0: not trying to rush you but we don't want a 3
hour long meeting either :)
(08:59:10 PM) jds2001: we have templates for common actions like that.
(08:59:19 PM) jds2001: aww, why not?
(08:59:25 PM) jds2001: FESCo has two hours now :)
(08:59:28 PM) VileGent: anyway we can have another meeting next tuesday
(08:59:44 PM) VileGent: evening
(08:59:56 PM) inode0: yes, we'll do some followup at the triage
meeting next week
(08:59:58 PM) jds2001: well i think stickster is joining us next evening
(09:00:02 PM) jds2001: next tuesday
(09:00:12 PM) ke4qqq: http://tinyurl.com/3sl24r <-- needinfo
greater than 30 days query iirc.
(09:00:18 PM) VileGent: the problem is the day job
(09:00:25 PM) ke4qqq: VileGent: we have a meeting every tuesday evening
(09:00:39 PM) jds2001: VileGent: and I'm around most of the time.
(09:00:41 PM) inode0: moving on now ... I think we should hear a bit
of a report on FADNA and OLF
(09:00:49 PM) jds2001: indeed.
(09:01:15 PM) ***jds2001 hears crickets instead
(09:01:23 PM) ***lcafiero wants to hear about the melee at the bar
(09:01:24 PM) inode0: jump right in
(09:01:39 PM) DemonJester: lcafiero: I won ;-)
(09:01:40 PM) jds2001: well, I got to OLF on Friday
(09:02:01 PM) jds2001: bpepple picked me up at the airport, we then
went and picked up stickster.
(09:02:11 PM) inode0: hrm
(09:02:33 PM) inode0: maybe a little too detailed there jds2001
(09:02:33 PM) jds2001: not the report you were looking for?
(09:02:42 PM) DemonJester: lol
(09:02:55 PM) inode0: impressions of booth on Saturday? fabulous success?
(09:03:04 PM) herlo: aye aye
(09:03:12 PM) DemonJester: +1
(09:03:19 PM) ke4qqq: yes
(09:03:36 PM) ke4qqq: we are still having stuff come in
(09:03:45 PM) herlo: I think the main thing I took from OLF was that
we're going to be seing more geek families at community conferences
(09:03:56 PM) herlo: because of things like the OLPC
(09:04:01 PM) ke4qqq: OLF is strange though
(09:04:01 PM) jds2001: yeah, and that's a great thing
(09:04:05 PM) herlo: :) yep!
(09:04:08 PM) inode0: hanging around most of the day I thought that
the Fedora and Ubuntu booths seemed the busiest by quite a bit
(09:04:15 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: no, I don't think it will be
(09:04:18 PM) ke4qqq: because there is no cost to attend
(09:04:25 PM) ke4qqq: families can come with 'dad'
(09:04:28 PM) ke4qqq: or 'mom'
(09:04:35 PM) ke4qqq: otherwise they might not
(09:04:41 PM) crossbytes: families meaning spouses or kids also?
(09:04:45 PM) ***jds2001 was at the Fedora booth most of the day
(09:04:48 PM) jds2001: crossbytes: kids too
(09:04:48 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: yeah, but I went to SCaLE and it seemed
that there were younger people ther too
(09:04:54 PM) ke4qqq: really....
(09:05:07 PM) herlo: not quite as many since it cost more
(09:05:10 PM) ke4qqq: hmmm I wouldn't pay 65 for a kid to attend a
conference, but that's just me
(09:05:23 PM) herlo: and they were generally at least 12
(09:05:32 PM) VileGent: ke4qqq, i did
(09:05:35 PM) DemonJester: ke4qqq: I wouldnt either
(09:05:38 PM) ke4qqq: OLF had lots younger than that.
(09:05:38 PM) inode0: I'd like to hear about the first experience we
had with our first event box
(09:05:39 PM) crossbytes: was there a spin for edu for the kids/families?
(09:05:55 PM) ke4qqq: ohhhhh crossbytes there is but we didn't have it
(09:06:13 PM) inode0: good thing to note for future conferences
(09:06:17 PM) VileGent: corssbytes that is a good idea
(09:06:57 PM) inode0: did the event box work well?
(09:07:06 PM) DemonJester: can we get it on a pressed cd ;-)
(09:07:06 PM) VileGent: appeared to
(09:07:15 PM) jds2001: it worked out faboulously as far as i could see.
(09:07:15 PM) herlo: DemonJester: yes
(09:07:15 PM) ke4qqq: DemonJester: unlikely
(09:07:25 PM) inode0: Is there anything new to put into the event box? :)
(09:07:28 PM) ke4qqq: it was really nice - I am envious and want to buy one now
(09:07:33 PM) herlo: DemonJester: but it would be in short runs and
quite expensive
(09:07:35 PM) ke4qqq: we put the AP in it
(09:07:53 PM) jds2001: ke4qqq: that was a joke :)
(09:07:57 PM) herlo: yep and there's tons of CDs and swag
(09:08:00 PM) VileGent: inode0, more buttons more stickers
(09:08:01 PM) inode0: No announcements?
(09:08:16 PM) jds2001: I'll be at CPOSC this weekend.
(09:08:19 PM) inode0: Little tiny announcements?
(09:08:29 PM) DemonJester: me too.
(09:08:37 PM) inode0: From the best sponsor at OLF?
(09:08:45 PM) pcalarco: hehe
(09:09:06 PM) ke4qqq: ohhhh
(09:09:07 PM) ke4qqq: ohhh
(09:09:11 PM) ke4qqq: yeah my new favorite
(09:09:14 PM) ke4qqq: hardware vendor
(09:09:20 PM) crossbytes: so is the event box coming to Portland?
(09:09:28 PM) inode0: why is this like pulling teeth? :)
(09:09:45 PM) herlo: crossbytes: for what?
(09:09:45 PM) ke4qqq: HP has agreed to send us a mini-note for each
region - to put in our eventboxes
(09:09:54 PM) jds2001: crossbytes: what's in portland?
(09:09:57 PM) inode0: opa! opa! opa!
(09:09:58 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: I don't know :)
(09:10:08 PM) lcafiero: Lindependence Portland
(09:10:12 PM) VileGent: inode0, dont know what you are hinting at
(09:10:12 PM) lcafiero: On Oct. 25
(09:10:20 PM) ke4qqq: wow
(09:10:24 PM) inode0: So we have both a mini-note and an XO per event box
(09:10:30 PM) herlo: yup
(09:10:30 PM) lcafiero: LinuxKnight and I are going to rep Fedora at the event.
(09:10:42 PM) ke4qqq: or we will - supposed to ship first of next week
from what I hear
(09:10:44 PM) jds2001: cool, how big?
(09:10:49 PM) herlo: lcafiero: well, its going to PA this weekend, but
it can get shipped after that
(09:10:53 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: you need to talk to DemonJester
(09:10:59 PM) ke4qqq: he will have it after the event
(09:11:03 PM) inode0: Really great news and a big thanks to both HP and OLPC
(09:11:03 PM) herlo: lcafiero: how many people are going to be there?
(09:11:06 PM) jds2001: lcafiero: do you have a budget for that?
(09:11:09 PM) herlo: not that it maters?
(09:11:27 PM) herlo: lcafiero: just reply here
(09:11:41 PM) DemonJester: FSOSS in toronto is also next week
(09:11:48 PM) herlo: oh, wow
(09:11:49 PM) ke4qqq: ohhhh - we may need
(09:11:53 PM) ke4qqq: to replicate
(09:11:57 PM) herlo: quickly
(09:11:58 PM) ke4qqq: does FSOSS have budget
(09:12:06 PM) ke4qqq: wait I still have plenty of budget
(09:12:07 PM) herlo: the box is only $180
(09:12:08 PM) lcafiero: We're in good shape for Portland. We really
only need media, stickers, etc.
(09:12:12 PM) ke4qqq: but can I get it that fast
(09:12:14 PM) DemonJester: not sure I havent talked to chris yet
(09:12:23 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I got mine in 4 days
(09:12:24 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: have you gotten media squared away
(09:12:43 PM) inode0: we should find the $180 to get a second one asap I think
(09:12:48 PM) DemonJester: the event box only has live cds left
(09:13:05 PM) herlo: we'll need banners and to duplicate other stuff too
(09:13:06 PM) ke4qqq: yaakov has media squared away already
(09:13:09 PM) ke4qqq: yep
(09:13:10 PM) jds2001: DemonJester: we've got 75 DVD's on the way
(09:13:19 PM) ***inode0 votes to just use discretionary funds if necessary
(09:13:39 PM) jds2001: we can probably restock at CPOSC
(09:13:40 PM) herlo: iWolf still has plenty of money left over from OLF bw
(09:13:50 PM) lcafiero: If we can't get media, we'll make our own.
That's what the Cabrillo College GNU/Linux Users Group did for Fedora
9 disks for Lindependence Felton in July
(09:13:56 PM) ***inode0 is going to ding that
(09:14:22 PM) herlo: lcafiero: how many ppl show up
(09:14:27 PM) ke4qqq: where do we get banners and stuff?
(09:14:35 PM) DemonJester: lcafiero: contact alex for the media,
stickers and shirts I am not sure about though
(09:14:44 PM) inode0: I would like to defer further discussion of this
so we can summarize the FADNA event quickly on the record
(09:14:51 PM) ke4qqq: no stickers or shirts left
(09:14:54 PM) herlo: well, I think banners and stickers and things
need to get done locally
(09:14:58 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: good point
(09:15:22 PM) ke4qqq: so we have had a request to show up at two
conferences from OLF
(09:15:36 PM) ke4qqq: stickster: was interviewed on one podcast
(09:15:43 PM) ke4qqq: and is scheduled on another (TLLTS)
(09:15:58 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: which conferences?
(09:16:02 PM) ke4qqq: and we had some impromptu nerdcore
(09:16:11 PM) ke4qqq: pycon (they want us to send two speakers)
(09:16:15 PM) ke4qqq: and pyohio
(09:16:32 PM) herlo: lol, the nerdcore rap ruled!
(09:16:41 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I would love to go to pycon
(09:16:41 PM) jds2001: we have developers that go to pycon anyways
(09:16:44 PM) inode0: Did anyone go to FADNA?
(09:16:51 PM) jds2001: but I can go to pycon too.
(09:16:54 PM) herlo: inode0: what's FANDA?
(09:17:02 PM) herlo: er FADNA?
(09:17:11 PM) herlo: didn't we just have that?
(09:17:14 PM) ke4qqq: ohhhh sorry thought we were talking about OLF
(09:17:17 PM) jds2001: i think so.
(09:17:33 PM) ***jds2001 all confuzzled now
(09:17:38 PM) herlo: yup
(09:17:43 PM) inode0: We were talking about OLF, wanted to get a
summary of FADNA as well
(09:18:01 PM) herlo: inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADNA2008
(09:18:03 PM) herlo: its on that page
(09:18:16 PM) herlo: specifically:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADNA2008#Meeting_Notes
(09:18:22 PM) herlo: thank pcalarco for that
(09:18:24 PM) inode0: Great, thanks pcalarco and whoever else
contributed to recording it
(09:18:36 PM) pcalarco: np
(09:18:45 PM) jds2001: and i somehow abscounded with a FADNA t-shirt, sorry :(
(09:19:03 PM) ke4qqq: WOW, pcalarco did great notes!
(09:19:13 PM) inode0: ok, oops
(09:19:16 PM) herlo: inode0: I have the recording but haven't posted it yet
(09:19:30 PM) pcalarco: librarians tend to be compulsive like that lol
(09:19:57 PM) inode0: was about to open the floor and redirect
discussion to portland
(09:19:59 PM) herlo: jds2001: it's okay, I ended up with an extra
medium if anyone wants a shirt
(09:20:09 PM) herlo: inode0: sounds good
(09:20:27 PM) inode0: I'll open the floor to any other discussion now
(09:20:49 PM) pcalarco: !
(09:20:54 PM) ***herlo is listening to nerdcore rapper DualCore!
(09:20:55 PM) inode0: go ahead pcalarco
(09:21:25 PM) pcalarco: i was thinking we could start working with our
regionals to organize ourselves at the state level more
(09:21:52 PM) pcalarco: I started looking at the Ubuntu groups LoCo
and think we should follow a similar model
(09:21:58 PM) inode0: I think that makes a lot of sense especially for Indiana
(09:22:12 PM) herlo: pcalarco: that was my original idea of the FAmNA structure
(09:22:15 PM) pcalarco: we have six ambassadors here
(09:22:18 PM) inode0: once there are several ambassadors in a state
(09:22:45 PM) crossbytes: I have been trying to find others in Washington . .
(09:22:48 PM) herlo: they can run themselves
(09:23:03 PM) pcalarco: great, vmbusguys and I will follow up with
iwolf and get the others active too
(09:23:17 PM) inode0: keep us posted
(09:23:25 PM) pcalarco: will do
(09:23:31 PM) herlo: crossbytes: cool
(09:23:45 PM) herlo: it seems I've lost LinuxKnight a little
(09:24:10 PM) VileGent: i have sent emails to the linux groups on the
west side of Virginia
(09:24:32 PM) inode0: which reminds me
(09:24:42 PM) VileGent: offering my help and support
(09:25:01 PM) ke4qqq: outstanding VileGent!
(09:25:03 PM) inode0: I couldn't help but notice that the respins flew
out the door at OLF as fast as they could be produced
(09:25:17 PM) VileGent: re-spins
(09:25:25 PM) crossbytes: Which respins?
(09:25:26 PM) inode0: sorry
(09:25:38 PM) pcalarco: Fedora Unity respins
(09:25:49 PM) ***VileGent directs crossbytes to
http://fedoraunity.org/news-archives/fedora-9-re-spin-released
(09:25:52 PM) inode0: I think perhaps we should plan if possible to
get those to as many events as possible when timely
(09:25:58 PM) crossbytes: KDE /XFCE ??
(09:26:05 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: the problem is really cost.....
(09:26:08 PM) herlo: VileGent: get used to people not spelling that right :)
(09:26:14 PM) VileGent: i am
(09:26:18 PM) crossbytes: sorry..
(09:26:18 PM) VileGent: and have been
(09:26:20 PM) inode0: even if we use volunteer burners
(09:26:21 PM) ***herlo likes respins better than re-spins :)
(09:26:30 PM) VileGent: herlo tough
(09:26:45 PM) herlo: VileGent: not really, I can use whatever I like :)
(09:26:48 PM) VileGent: respins are livemedia re-spins are repackaging
(09:27:03 PM) herlo: ugh, that's not really a differentiation
(09:27:20 PM) ke4qqq: ohhh is that what you are talking about all day?
(09:27:28 PM) herlo: no wonder people have a hard time understanding it
(09:27:29 PM) VileGent: respins are livemedia re-spins are repackaging
of the distro released isos with updates
(09:27:40 PM) inode0: directs squabbling ambassadors to
#fedora-ambassadors to discuss the semantic of re-spins vs. respins
(09:27:46 PM) herlo: that has *got* to change
(09:28:04 PM) DemonJester: so where is the event box going after PA?
(09:28:04 PM) inode0: anything else before we close in 3 minutes?
(09:28:15 PM) inode0: 2 minutes?
(09:28:16 PM) DemonJester: portland or toronto
(09:28:19 PM) ke4qqq: yes we need to get that squared away
(09:28:36 PM) herlo: Portland
(09:28:42 PM) lcafiero: We can yield to toronto -- I'll have a Intel
and PPC laptops running f9
(09:28:45 PM) herlo: it belongs in the west
(09:28:54 PM) ke4qqq: true
(09:28:55 PM) herlo: that's my only argument
(09:28:58 PM) ke4qqq: it's wests
(09:29:03 PM) ke4qqq: so herlo tell us where you want it
(09:29:08 PM) lcafiero: But I do need media and swag.
(09:29:10 PM) DemonJester: I send it where you tell me too.
(09:29:19 PM) lcafiero: +1 to west, if we can get it :-)
(09:29:25 PM) herlo: hang on
(09:29:31 PM) herlo: I asked this question already
(09:29:37 PM) herlo: but haven't had an answer
(09:29:40 PM) jds2001: ke4qqq: i can work on building one for the
east if you'd like.'
(09:29:43 PM) herlo: how many people will be at each event?
(09:29:47 PM) VileGent: so event box cost 180?
(09:29:51 PM) herlo: yup
(09:29:54 PM) lcafiero: I don't know about Portland -- 100+
(09:29:55 PM) ***inode0 thinks while we have only one it makes sense
to ship it to the largest event but will defer to others
(09:29:56 PM) ke4qqq: no far more
(09:29:56 PM) jds2001: just the box
(09:29:57 PM) DemonJester: FSOSS about 300
(09:30:10 PM) herlo: jds2001: $180 yes
(09:30:14 PM) herlo: for just the box
(09:30:17 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: what's ur budget
(09:30:55 PM) inode0: meeting enters extra minutes or whatever those
football people call it
(09:30:59 PM) crossbytes: Portland is going to be F9 and F10beta? or just F9?
(09:31:01 PM) ke4qqq: yeah banners will cost more than that.
(09:31:07 PM) lcafiero: Overtime, or sudden death.
(09:31:07 PM) herlo: inode0: overtime
(09:31:23 PM) inode0: no, they don't call it either of those
(09:31:27 PM) DemonJester: shoot-out :-)
(09:31:32 PM) herlo: sudden death only happens in playoffs and hockey
(09:31:34 PM) lcafiero: I would like to have F9 for Portland
(09:31:44 PM) lcafiero: I do have F10 beta on one of the laptops, the intel one.
(09:31:48 PM) herlo: lcafiero: how many people
(09:31:59 PM) crossbytes: I have F10 on our ASUS EEE
(09:32:00 PM) herlo: oh, now I see it
(09:32:05 PM) jds2001: I'll bring my rawhide lappy to PA, as well.
(09:32:22 PM) jds2001: one thing that we missed at OLF
(09:32:23 PM) lcafiero: I think Portland will draw at least 100, probably more.
(09:32:37 PM) VileGent: toronto how many attendees
(09:32:40 PM) DemonJester: chris (FSOSS) has not asked for the event
box if that means anything
(09:32:56 PM) DemonJester: according to the event page 300
(09:33:01 PM) inode0: doesn't mean anything to me, does he know it is
available to him?
(09:33:09 PM) pcalarco: I think the Toronto show is quite small at this point?
(09:33:19 PM) herlo: send it to Portland, but
(09:33:23 PM) DemonJester: ask paul he is going to it
(09:33:46 PM) herlo: send some of the media off to toronto
(09:33:51 PM) herlo: what do you think of that?
(09:33:55 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: why?
(09:34:00 PM) ke4qqq: alex can send media to toronto
(09:34:02 PM) ke4qqq: or with paul
(09:34:04 PM) herlo: oh
(09:34:06 PM) herlo: okay
(09:34:11 PM) ke4qqq: we're okay with media
(09:34:14 PM) ke4qqq: I think
(09:34:17 PM) VileGent: at this point toronto 300 vs portland 100
(09:34:28 PM) lcafiero: Looks like toronto wins.
(09:34:31 PM) ***inode0 thinks toronto
(09:34:34 PM) DemonJester: I am pinging stickster now to ask about the
FSOSS numbers
(09:34:37 PM) ke4qqq: but toronto will have more people
(09:34:39 PM) lcafiero: Give us media and stuff and we'll be fine
(09:34:40 PM) ***jds2001 votes Toronto
(09:34:45 PM) herlo: right, its not enough to make that big of a difference
(09:34:55 PM) ke4qqq: from fedora
(09:35:05 PM) herlo: the eventbox could go either way
(09:35:07 PM) ke4qqq: my concern is shipping
(09:35:11 PM) herlo: right
(09:35:19 PM) ke4qqq: chris doesn't know to budget for it
(09:35:20 PM) herlo: it only cost $37 to ship it to OLF
(09:35:23 PM) DemonJester: 4 days to go cross country
(09:35:23 PM) crossbytes: There is no LUG in Vancouver to help out I
do not know about Portland LUG
(09:35:25 PM) ke4qqq: and lcafiero has no budget for it
(09:35:26 PM) inode0: isn't it possible for us to order another and
begin provisioning it in portland?
(09:35:29 PM) lcafiero: We don't really need the box in Portland, again.
(09:35:32 PM) herlo: DemonJester: right
(09:35:46 PM) inode0: you can use my share of discretionary funds to
pay for most of it
(09:36:19 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: the box yes, posters and banners probably not
(09:36:30 PM) inode0: start provisioning it ...
(09:36:32 PM) lcafiero: In Portland, LinuxKnight and I are going to
staff the table.
(09:36:35 PM) ke4qqq: we'd need to get them designed (or the old files
pulled up)
(09:36:40 PM) lcafiero: Others in the area are welcome.
(09:36:54 PM) lcafiero: I am going to be up there speaking at OSU on
the thursday prior to the event.
(09:37:04 PM) lcafiero: In corvallis, then up to portland.
(09:37:19 PM) jds2001: lcafiero: have you talked to poelcat?
(09:37:25 PM) herlo: lcafiero: I can help you get other stuff. What
do you need?
(09:37:53 PM) ke4qqq: but you are right we need to start provisioning it
(09:37:54 PM) crossbytes: could u send mor info on your talk would
like to attend..
(09:38:05 PM) lcafiero: Are you in corvallis crossbytes
(09:38:06 PM) lcafiero: ?
(09:38:16 PM) crossbytes: No in Vancouver WA
(09:38:40 PM) ***stickster puts head up
(09:38:43 PM) stickster: DemonJester: wha?
(09:38:58 PM) DemonJester: stickster: how many are attending FSOSS event?
(09:39:18 PM) stickster: I don't know.
(09:39:19 PM) inode0: aha, we enter extra minutes and our fearless
leader shows up to score the winning goal!
(09:39:24 PM) stickster: DemonJester: You'll have to ask ctyler.
(09:39:47 PM) DemonJester: stickster: ok thanks.
(09:39:55 PM) stickster: Who is DemonJester?
(09:40:11 PM) ***DemonJester Brian Powell
(09:40:18 PM) stickster: ah
(09:40:21 PM) stickster: k
(09:40:26 PM) VileGent: ok who spiked sticksters drinks this weekend
(09:41:13 PM) DemonJester: so is it going to Toronto or Portland, I
dont remember seeing a definitive answer
(09:41:19 PM) herlo: crossbytes: that's pretty close to lcafiero
(09:41:27 PM) inode0: we need to wrap this meeting up in time for it
to start again next week guys
(09:41:36 PM) crossbytes: yes just a few minutes
(09:42:17 PM) lcafiero: I yielded to toronto.
(09:42:22 PM) inode0: conversation can continue after the meeting
unless there is something you need to get into the record ...
(09:42:23 PM) lcafiero: For the record.
(09:42:40 PM) inode0: thanks lcafiero
(09:42:47 PM) lcafiero: With the proviso that I actually DO need media
for Portland
(09:42:57 PM) inode0: I still think we should try to get you a new box ....
(09:43:18 PM) lcafiero: I have a sort of box that I made up -- I guess
it's closer to an ambassador box than an event box
(09:43:22 PM) lcafiero: But it has a lot of stuff.
(09:43:35 PM) lcafiero: Lindependence Felton wiped me out of disks, though.
(09:43:51 PM) inode0: one of us will make sure you get media
(09:44:04 PM) ke4qqq: lets move this discussion back to f-a since this
is closing out
(09:44:25 PM) lcafiero: Okay. I have to go back to class, though. The
instructor thinks I'm actually doing schoolwork here.
(09:44:29 PM) inode0: 30 seconds to close ...
(09:44:35 PM) ***lcafiero busted by professor . . . .
(09:44:52 PM) pcalarco: g'nite all
(09:44:59 PM) inode0: opa! opa! opa! EOF
(09:45:07 PM) pcalarco: exit
(09:45:07 PM) inode0: thanks everyone as always
(09:45:15 PM) ke4qqq: thanks inode0
(09:45:20 PM) herlo: thre he goes
(09:45:23 PM) jds2001: thx inode0 for hosting
(09:45:27 PM) herlo: no more lcafiero
(09:45:34 PM) inode0: thanks jds2001 for bearing with us
(09:45:59 PM) jds2001: np, i just think that herlo might punch my face
in tomorrow :)
(09:46:12 PM) herlo: lol, why?
(09:46:22 PM) VileGent: jds2001, run he wont
(09:46:24 PM) herlo: jds2001: I wouldn't do that
(09:46:37 PM) jds2001: hehe i know
(09:46:39 PM) ***herlo might tackle VileGent though :)
(09:46:51 PM) jds2001: you did a good job playing devil
(09:46:59 PM) jds2001: devil's advocate ,that is.
(09:47:02 PM) crossbytes: fyi I thought lcafiero was in Portland he is in Calif.
(09:47:04 PM) herlo: lol
(09:47:06 PM) ***jds2001 hates pressing enter too soon
(09:50:34 PM) ***inode0 observes that stickster's kick sailed high
over the crossbar
(09:51:39 PM) inode0: and one afterthough, I'd like to thank and
ambassadors who made it to OLF and participated in FADNA
(09:51:50 PM) inode0: it was a great and productive time for all
(09:52:54 PM) ke4qqq: yes it was
(09:59:00 PM) VileGent: see you there next year
15 years, 6 months
