Project Start: New Updated Deployment Guide for the Upcoming Fedora 12!
by Douglas Silas 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Greetings Fedora users and system administrators, I meant to announce this last week on fedora-docs-list, but the CC slipped my mind. Here's copy of the announcement I sent to deployment-guide-list(a)redhat.com. See the Deployment Guide wiki: https://fedorahosted.org/deploymentguide/wiki ...for details on joining this list. All are welcome. ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT I'm proud to announce that I'll be heading a new project to update a new guide, the Fedora Deployment Guide, for the upcoming Fedora 12 release! The Fedora Deployment Guide covers system administration tasks such as package maintenance, user administration, printing, and setting up networks, printers, and services such as Apache, LDAP, OpenSSH, Samba, etc. You can see what's in it and the most current state of the upcoming Fedora 12 Deployment Guide here: http://dsilas.fedorapeople.org/Deployment_Guide/en-US/ The target for completion of this project is before Nov. 1, ahead of the GA target date for Fedora 12, which is currently Nov. 3. The project page for the Deployment Guide, which also tells you where to obtain the source files (which are in DocBook XML), is here: https://fedorahosted.org/deploymentguide/wiki We will definitely be accepting contributors; please contact me if you are able to help out. There is a Deployment Guide mailing list. To gain access to it, please send an email to the project maintainers (of whom I am one) with a brief introduction: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/deployment-guide-list The Fedora Deployment Guide is written in DocBook XML and is published using the open source Publican build tool: https://fedorahosted.org/publican/ More details will follow next week (such as additions to the TOC). I hope to hear suggestions and opinions from you! Cheers, -- Douglas Silas Technical Writer | Red Hat, Inc.

Need Feedback on HOWTO wiki created by /me.
by Kishan Goyal 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, Last week I made a wiki page on HOWTO Install Fedora 11. The page is an effort to help users with the installation of Fedora 11. I used VirtualBox to install Fedora 11 virtually on my laptop, and, in the process, took screenshots of every step that I encountered and wrote down the installation procedure in steps. The wiki page is available here [1]. This is the first time I have created such a HOWTO or guide and I may have missed out on something. I would be glad to receive any comments, criticism, etc. which would help me to improve this wiki and in my future ventures.

I've updated my policy proposals[1], slightly, and I'd like input before submitting them to FPC and FESCo. I'd like to get these proposals in front of their eyes this week. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_reviewing_Publican_documents --Eric

Reviewed: [[Welcome_Message_To_New_Ambassadors]]
by Karsten Wade 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Susmit: Sorry to break the threading, I accidentally deleted your original email. Your welcome message made a nice review over lunch today: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Welcome_Message_To_New_Ambassadors I made changes directly because I didn't see anything substantive that I changed. That is, I don't think I changed any meaning, just did some grammar adjustments and clarifications. Please read my changes carefully -- I'm not as familiar with the updated mentoring guidelines as I should be. :) There is one issue in the instructions -- it directs the new potential Ambassador to get aggregated on Fedora Planet. However, that requires being in a FAS group already (plus having signed the CLA.) If the Ambassador-to-be is not already in the 'ambassadors' group, they have to belong to another group, too. Maybe that was the intention? I note the mandatory-in-India step of contributing to another group. Is that the secret solution? One concern is that we'll get an influx of people to low-barrier groups, such as 'docs', who are just interested in getting their FAS group to get aggregated and fulfill Ambassador requirements. I could foresee a chain-reaction of people raising barriers in groups to block against that. Also, it is possible to contribute to various projects without joining the group. One could write wiki documentation or be involved in QA test days without belonging to the 'docs' or 'qa' groups. Would it be possible to have the candidate bring proof of that instead of being required to have joined another group? In other words, if they are going to join e.g. 'docs' just to get in to 'ambassadors', they are less likely to sustain contributions to the Docs Team. (It's OK if people don't want to remain a Docs contributor, we just need to set the expectations all around.) cheers - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

Fedora Desktop Guide Update
by Matthew Daniels 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

At last week's FDSCo meeting, I blabbered along for a few minutes concerning where I wanted to go with the User Guide (and, subsequently, that I thought we should rename it). I've put together a mock table of contents and a few sample paragraphs of the sort of style I envisioned in the rewritten guide. I'd appreciate any comments on other ways to address the audience, better topics to choose, or anything else that you feel would make it better. Please note that it's neither properly formatted nor spell/grammar-checked nor comprehensive in scope. I'm just looking for ideas before we get too far instead of after we've done half the guide. Links: http://danielsmw.fedorapeople.org/Guide.pdf http://danielsmw.fedorapeople.org/Guide.odt Also, because of the way this has been restyled, I think it could be easier for people to contribute; instead of delving into the full document and pulling out a scalpel to existing, messy content, people could just send me a paragraph or two on a particular question they care about or think is relevant. Cheers! - - -- --- ----- -------- ------------- --------------------- Matthew Daniels Fedora Project + danielsmw(a)gmail.com Clemson University + mdaniel(a)clemson.edu Home Page / Blog + people.clemson.edu/~mdaniel + danielsmw.wordpress.com
