[Event Report] Fedora OpenStack, P.E.S. College of Engineering, Aurangabad, India, March 2, 2013
by Shakthi Kannan 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi, I had organized a Fedora and OpenStack [1] workshop at P.E.S. College of Engineering [2], Nagsen Vana, Aurangabad, Maharashtra on Saturday, March 2, 2013. After a formal inauguration at 1000 IST, I introduced the students to communication guidelines, mailing list etiquette, and project guidelines using the "i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do" presentation [3]. The different Fedora sub-projects [4] to which they can contribute to were mentioned. I showed the various free/open source software tools available for them to learn and use. The career options with free/open source software were also discussed. I had asked them to write down any questions they had on the forenoon session, so I could answer them in the afternoon session. Few of their questions: * If I do a project in Java, what are my career options? * What is the difference between open source and Microsoft? * Is Linux popular only because of security, or are there other reasons too? * I am interested in mainframes. How should I learn? * I am interested in a career in animation. What free/open source software can I use? * What are the steps to become a good software engineer? * Can I patent a software product? Post-lunch, I answered their queries in the Q&A session, to the best of my knowledge. I also gave them an introduction on copyright, trademark and patents, and mentioned that IANAL [5]. I then introduced them to the architecture of OpenStack, explaining the individual components, and their functionality. The OpenStack Lab Guide [6] was provided to them to setup their own OpenStack cloud. Some of them had brought their laptops to try it hands-on. I demonstrated the Horizon web interface after starting the required services. All their computer labs have been migrated to Fedora 17. Thanks to Prof. Nitin Ujgare for working with me in organizing this workshop, and for maintaining the Fedora labs at the Institute. Aurangabad is around 230 km from Pune, and takes around 4 1/2 hours by road. There are frequent bus services between Pune and Aurangabad. You can book bus tickets at Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) [7] web site. There are a number of historic places to visit in and around Aurangabad. Few photos taken during the trip are available in my /gallery [8]. Regards, SK [1] Fedora OpenStack. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack [2] P. E. S.

Fedora 19 schedule's new home & plans
by Jaroslav Reznik 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi all! (and sorry for post to sooo many lists) As we already have a final schedule (for a three weeks now) and we're getting closer to release windmills - I'd like to make the schedule easy to use for everyone (and that means for me too), to be sure it makes sense etc. And inform you about recent changes I did to schedule ,plans but also I'm going to ask you for a little assistance. These are a few changes/or requests for your feedback: 1. from F19, schedule moved to FPGM neutral site [1], you can get there from standard wiki schedule page. 2. cleanup Over the time, schedule got messy, some teams are even not aware what a specific milestone means, why it's there, many times it's historical relict and even collective memory does not work to remember what's the reason to have it in schedule. On the other hand, I don't want to remove anything people still relies on, based on my "common sense". So please, take a look and let me know (some people already contacted me and I work it in asap). 3. links in schedule Thanks to Robyn, with her great TJ foo skillz, I'm now able to link milestones in schedule to wiki and SOPs. Fedora QA asked for that, I'll try to match as many as possible by myself but if you want to link specific event to specific url, let me know. 4. future of scheduling, for F20+ For F19, we used a different way to schedule, based on the scope of submitted features. It worked quite well from developers POV but we completely forgot other teams and made the scheduling of theirs tasks harder. I created a FESCo ticket [2], please take a look (and comment it if you have ideas!). Also we would like to start F20 as early as possible so the submission period should start at F19 branch date (or shortly after) to let people propose the ideas in advance. 5. new TJ3 And the main goal of the move, cleanups and so on is to jump on TJ3 board - I have initial port done, but a lot of changes are needed and I'd like to start with TJ3 based schedule from a clean old one. Btw. with any question, ping me, report ideas to schedule Trac [3] and you know ;-) Thanks Jaroslav [1] http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule [2] https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1092 [3] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-project-schedule/
