Fedora 30 Elections: Nomination period open
by Ben Cotton
Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we
accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams:
* FESCo (Engineering) (4 seats) [1]
* Fedora Council (1 seat) [2]
* Mindshare (1 seat) [3]
This period is open until 2019-05-22 at 23:59:59 UTC.
Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, please
check with them to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before
submitting their name.
The steering bodies are currently selecting interview questions for
the candidates.
Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure
issue. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the
interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting
period. Fedora Podcast episodes will be recorded and published as
well.
Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees
not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period
(2019-05-29) will be disqualified and removed from the election.
As part of the campaign people may also ask questions to specific
candidates on the appropriate mailing list.
The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections
schedule[4]. For more information about the elections process, see the
wiki[5].

How to predict Python 3 SOABI naming scheme?!?
by Richard Shaw
I'm trying to get FreeCAD back in shape on Fedora[1] and what I hope is the
last problem is that it's still building against the Python2 library
(because it's default). I can override the behavior by specifying
"-DPYTHON_SUFFIX=<python3 SOABI> but it's different for every arch...
$ python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 27 2019, 13:41:07)
[GCC 8.3.1 20190223 (Red Hat 8.3.1-2)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_config_var('SOABI')
'cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu'
I cobbled this together for the spec file but it may need work:
%define py_suffix %(%{__python3} -c 'import sysconfig;
sysconfig.get_config_var("SOABI")')
The weird part is that it's evaluating as blank on Fedora 29 and 30[2] and
working in Rawhide EXCEPT for armv7hl in which it's evaluating to[3]:
-DPYTHON_SUFFIX=.cpython-37m-armv7hl-linux-gnu
But the shiboken config file is named:
/usr/lib/cmake/Shiboken-1.2.4/ShibokenConfig.cpython-37m-arm-linux-gnueabi.cmake
Which is very different...
The best answer is probably to rebuild shiboken with Python3 being the
default but there should be a way to predict what the python3 SOABI naming
scheme will be...
Thanks,
Richard

Swag Finding Mission
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd
Hi All,
I am working on managing our swag and logo-ed goods inventory to
ensure we are in good shape when it is time to move to the new logo.
As a part of this, I'd like to find any items you may have stored
somewhere that are to be used for Fedora events and activities.
I am trying to avoid ordering any unnecessary items with the current
logo by using up our existing stock.
If you have swag or other logo-ed goods, please contact me off list so
we can get it sent to an upcoming event or used up as appropriate.
Thank you!
regards,
bex

Signing key for f31?
by Dridi Boukelmoune
Hi,
I was browsing getfedora.org looking for the f31 PGP key that DNF is
currently prompting me to accept or reject. I found that the old URL [1]
is gone and doesn't redirect to the new one [2] that currently shows
keys up to f30.
Is there a reliable location where I can verify the f31 key today?
I tried to browse the Rawhide guide but couldn't find the key fingerprints.
