Introductory workshop on GNU autotools
by Siddhesh Poyarekar
Hi,
I will be conducting an introductory workshop on GNU autotools in
#fedora-classroom on 03 May, 2010 at 13:30 UTC. The aim of the
classroom is to get people started on autotoolizing C code. I will use
an example project and will go through the following:
* Downloading the sample application
* Creating files for the application
=> configure.ac
-> Initialization
-> Checks
-> Output
=> Makefile.am
-> Build programs
-> Install additional files
* Generating scripts
Prerequisites for those wanting to attend this:
* Familiarity with make, gcc
* Ensure that autoconf, automake, gcc, make, etc. are installed on your system.
`yum groupinstall "Development Tools"` ought to get all of it
The session will not be covering autoheader and libtool since:
* The sample I'm using does not need it
* Those concepts are slightly more advanced and may require more time
In other words, the session is for people who have never worked with
autotools before.

Greetings - Wiki tender
by Ian MacGregor
Greetings,
My name is Ian MacGregor. I began using Debian GNU/Linux as my sole OS in
2001. I started using Fedora Core when FC1 was released and am now on Fedora
12.
I spoke with nirik in #fedora-classroom about filling the position of Wiki
tender and I was approved. My first task was taking the initiative to clean
up the wiki classroom page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom and
have completed that task. I will endeavor to maintain the classroom page and
welcome any suggestions for improvement.
Regards,
Ian MacGregor

"i18n through gettext" Online Workshop : 30th Apr 2010, 6:00 PM IST
by Naveen Kumar
Hi,
I am going to run a workshop on "internationalization through gettext" via #fedora-india IRC channel in freenode, coming Friday. You should have a recent Fedora system running with root privileges and make sure to install emacs & fonts for your language before coming.
# yum install emacs
#yum install lohit-hindi-fonts
#yum install lohit-devanagari-fonts
Reading material at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/A_Short_Tutorial_On_i18n_Through_gettext
I will be covering the basics of internationalizing your application through gettext library and you can
follow along and i18nize & translate a "hello" project. I can continue the session for a couple of hours or until everyone can internationalize, localize & see their application running in local language. My nick is nkumar on #fedora-india, if you have any questions about getting started.

3 upcoming Fedora Marketing Classroom sessions
by Mel Chua
At the Marketing FAD, one thing we agreed on was that (1) we have a lot
to learn, and (2) getting cool people into Fedora Classroom to teach
things so we can document their wisdom for posterity would be totally
rockin'.
Kara Schiltz, Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier, and Sean Daly have all stepped up
with generous offers to run Fedora Classroom sessions on various
Marketing/Brand/PR related topics they have expertises in during the
month of April - so this is a heads-up, a quick way to nail the
scheduling down, and a chance for people to give feedback on the topics
coming up. (Are these what folks are interested in? What would you like
to see/hear? Who would you like to hear from?)
Thanks to Kara, Zonker, and Sean for offering to spend time with us!
--Mel
== Kara: PR workflow demystified ==
Kara: is free in mid-to-late April, so I will propose April 13 (Tuesday)
- if that's not too early in the month. I was thinking either 3-4pm EDT
or 5-6pm EDT on that day so it comes either right before or after our
weekly Marketing meeting - Kara, would that be ok with you? If not, when
would be a good date and time? We're flexible.
Topic: the existing workflow and decisionmaking process around doing PR
for Fedora. How do you choose what audiences to target for what message
about what feature when? Also, what would you like to see for
international PR around Fedora (can you help us articulate a target that
the community can work to hit)?
== Zonker: How to make life awesome for journalists ==
Zonker: April 20 (Tuesday) - he can do anytime between 9am-6pm EDT, but
I'm also going to propose either 3-4pm EDT or 5-6pm EDT for this one.
(Zonker, your pick - and if neither works for you, counterpropose.)
Topic: what does the distro release PR process look like from the
perspective of a journalist, and what are the things we (as a project's
marketing team) can do to make life easier for you (the journalist)?
== Sean:
Sean: Would April 27 (Tuesday) work for you? The timing might be more
difficult because Sean is in France (iirc) and so our normal Marketing
meeting time is quite late in the evening for him. Sean, if 3-4pm EDT
(1900 UTC) on that date would work for you, that would be great - if
not, perhaps immediately after your Sugar Labs marketing meeting, which
I believe would be 16:00 UTC? (If neither works for you, counterpropose.)
Topic: Fedora marketing business case - explore what the targets,
brand values, and priorities are. (This ties in nicely with what Nelson
has been working on, and I think will bring us full-circle just in time
to think about F14 going forward.)
