Meeting cancellation
by Paul W. Frields 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Today's scheduled FDSCo meeting (1700 UTC) looks to be canceled at this point. Most of the committee attendees will not be available today. Perhaps we should think about rescheduling our times since our uptake has been low lately. There was a scheduler page around the wiki that we completed before, but I can't seem to find it. Link appreciated if someone knows where we laid it... -- Paul W.

Self-Introduction: Geert Warrink
by Geert Warrink 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Mij name is Geert Warrink and I live in the village Nuenen in the Netherlands. Currently I am retired, but before that I worked as an electronic engineer with Philips Research. In the last period of my working life, I supported the users of our in-house IC design simulation package called Pstar. This included giving courses to users and writing user documentation. The language used in these activity was mostly English. My goal in the Fedora project is the translation of documentation to Dutch. I think that I could do a good job as I have experience in this kind of activities buildup in my working period. Besides, being retired now, I do have quite an amount of time available to spend on this project. I have been using Linux since 1995 of a PC, before that I experimented with Linux on an Amiga 2000. In the past, I have done some programming, but I don't really like that. All in all, I think that I can improve quality and at least the quantity of the Dutch Fedora Documentation. Kind regards, Geert Warrink pub 1024D/A77649D7 2007-11-10 Key fingerprint = 46AB 6423 16D4 E0A0 CCFD 3D78 6620 BA7C A776 49D7 uid Geert Warrink <geert.warrink(a)onsnet.nu> sub 2048g/88272F93 2007-11-10

Errara in F8 Install Guide
by Thomas Chung 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hello, I just noticed an errata in our F8 install-guide[1]. "No Live Images for ppc Fedora does not offer Live images available for the ppc architecture due to resource constraints." Oops, since we *do* offer Live image for ppc[2] for F8, we need to fix it. :) [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/sn-which-files.html [2] http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Live/ppc/ Regards, -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

AdminGuide work
by Vladimir Kosovac 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

All, I have just started Samba write-up for the Servers section in the Wiki. It's sandboxed at the moment, once I have complete layout and more content I shall copy it to Drafts. One question: some of the newer (like DNS) AdminGuide sections use the old layout, with TOCs but some others don't (like MailServer). My understanding is that we should avoid TOCs and multiple pages to ease wiki-->DocBook conversion. Is that correct? Vladimir

wiki collaboration
by Karsten Wade 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Just a quick reminder to those who are new to collaborating with wikis. One of the great things about a wiki is the ability for you to watch one or more pages for edits. Then, if there is something to correct or add in an edit from someone else, you can just go fix it. For you folks who are newer to the team, you may have experienced me or another editor dropping by your document and doing a whole bunch of corrections, usually of the markup/wiki syntax, and often adjusting grammar or tense. This is to be expected (we all need reminders of markup syntax and to use active tense), and it is a good way for you to learn while you are doing the work. I try to appear early enough in the work process that I can help you with pointers, so it helps the rest of your future work. So don't feel singled out when one of us jumps on your page and uses it as an example to you of how to do things the Fedora Docs way. It happens with everyone. :) ... and unfortunately, the comment field is just big enough to put in pointers to e.g. WikiEditing#MarkingTechnicalContent and to type in much more than that. You all are doing great work; there is so much activity on some days the wiki edits just blur by. It makes my heart sing. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.

permissions and access control
by Murray McAllister 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi, I have been doing a bit on permissions and access control, will hopefully be finished soon. Is anyone else keen to do the "access control" part, because to be honest, I have no idea what is meant by this. Is this SELinux stuff? Thanks, Murray. PS sorry if this did not wrap :( --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]
