Hi,
In at attempt to reboot Fedora-related events in Pune, a few of us are planning on a FAD[1] on the 23rd August at the Red Hat office in Magarpatta City.
Since this is the first Fedora event in Pune after a fairly long time, we are taking it a bit slow, which means that we haven't asked for any budget to fly Fedora contributors over. That obviously does not mean that contributors cannot join us on #fedora-india on IRC to work on things together! Maybe we could look at the possibility of having a Google Hangout too.
The tentative theme for the event is along the lines of a Test Day. It is tentative because (a) only a few of us have unilaterally proposed and agreed to it (i.e. no feedback from anyone here) and (b) we haven't yet decided on which components to target.
We can accommodate about 20-30 people. Suggestions for the event are most welcome. Please add yourselves to the attendee list on the wiki page if you're interested and also if you're attending physically or virtually.
Thanks, Siddhesh

If any one is interested in Fedora security, i can do a short talk and maybe a workshop/hackfest kind of thing, where we practically work on it.

Great, thanks.
What could we do as part of the workshop / hackfest?
We discussed security in the context of security bug triaging, but it was thought to be too involved a process for a newcomer (i.e. newcomer to the world of security bugs) to come and contribute. What in security could be a low-hanging-fruit kind of a thing where we introduce concepts to a general audience, and then move on to more advanced topics, while keeping contributions flowing (i.e. not armchair FAD participations, but real participations)?
Thanks,
Amit

Few ideas from my end where we should be able to workout from irc as well: * traditional packaging workshop for beginners * writing basic selinux policies, eventually encouraging people to contribute selinux policies to fedora * basic fedmsg bot Sounds good?

- traditional packaging workshop for beginners
The traditional packaging one can be held at regular intervals, I don't think that ever gets old ;-)
- writing basic selinux policies, eventually encouraging people to
contribute selinux policies to fedora
This might be a fun one; has this been done on irc before? Has it been done in-person before?
- basic fedmsg bot
I'm not sure what we could do about the fedmsg bot, but why not, if people are interested in it.

It would be a good idea to add to the FAD Agenda on the wiki page so that we have a list of things we know we want to tackle on that day.

I prefer to have a focussed session -- one FAD for one kind of activity. Is this acceptable to others?
E.g. this first FAD, we could just get a F21 nightly live usb and run through some tests listed in test day pages. We needn't restrict ourselves to a particular type of testing (i.e. just desktop, or virt, or something else) -- people would be free to pick their test day page and run through a few tests -- and most importantly -- file bugs!
How does this sound for the 23rd?

I find it hard to reject ideas when they're coming in willingly ;)
We really only have 3 tentative tracks proposed as of now: an IRC session (not final yet), Huzaifa's security track and the primary testing track. I feel multiple tracks can coexist if people are willingly working on them, but I don't have a very strong opinion on this given that I also see the advantage in focusing on a single track.

It's a good thing we have ideas -- put them in a pipeline? We can think of having a FAD a month so we keep doing various things, like the ones that have popped up.
Opinions?

This is the point where everyone who is attending is supposed to voice their preferences ;)
That said, if we're doing a Test Day then we need to propose components we're looking to test, maybe contact developers telling them you're going to run the tests and propose a test plan if there isn't one already. I am a complete dud at this, so I hope someone with a bit more clue can do this.

Here is one suggestion.
I created a table of possible components people are interested in and then decide who wants to test what etc.
I added security regression testing to the table, maybe others should add other components they can/want-to/are-interested-in testing.
Hi,
All participants please bring your USB-stick so that we can distribute F21 latest iso.

Right.
I have downloaded F21 nightly desktop live isos for gnome and kde, and have tested them till boot in a VM.
We'll be using these images for our FAD:
gnome:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7430567
kde:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7430608
If you don't want to download these beforehand, we'll have these available on Saturday.
Amit
For those attending the FAD today, we're all gathered in the Harishchandragad meeting room on Level 1.

There was a talk (not workshop) in flock highlighting some basic steps for building a simple selinux policy. Probably, one of us can try following that and dig into it and then take the workshop.
- basic fedmsg bot
I'm not sure what we could do about the fedmsg bot, but why not, if people are interested in it.
Again, this idea is from Flock. Ralph Bean took a workshop and created a bot which tweeted every time a package was tagged or a badge was awarded. We can invite people to think in similar lines and come up with a creative use. We generate about 8000-10000 messages a day of various kinds. So potential to create something interesting is very high.

Let me explore these things a bit more over the weekend and develop some content for the workshop. I'll add one (or two) on the wiki after that. I may not be able to come to Pune for the FAD due to work commitments but I can definitely organize the workshop on IRC.

Right, so in the end it really depends on the the target audience we get (sp. contributors from outside Red Hat etc and this is really applicable to any topic/talk/hackfest)
One suggestion would be, we wait till a X date, look at the contributor level/interest and then cater our agenda to that, or even ask them what they are interested in?

The idea is to keep involvement in Fedora going from the region, and we have several people who are experts in a few areas, so benefit from their experience.
Of course, it will also depend on the contributors who turn up and who are interested. Let's get it started and see how it goes, I suppose.

Thank you to all those who came (physically as well as virtually) and made the FAD a success. We filed at least 15 bugs and tested over 8 components during the day, along with two sessions that Prasad and Kashyap conducted on the spot. Please don't forget to blog about your experience and post the link on the wiki page in the Blogs and Reports section.

I think we got the setup working. - Machine1: AD Server. - Machine2: RHEL6.5 - Samba+winbind connected to AD - Machine3: Fedora21 - sssd-1.12.0-2 enrolled directly to AD
But, I had to turn off ldap id mapping to avoid uid, gid mismatch conflict with samba server configured on rhel6.5 . Also had to disable GPO for access being denied by default. i.e. The following was added to sssd.conf additionally: ad_gpo_access_control = disabled ldap_id_mapping = false
Now, can you check if the following steps are enough to verify cifs client test:
- # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libwbclient.so.0.11.0 sssd-libwbclient-1.12.0-2.1.fc21.x86_64
- # ssh -l aduser1@mars.corp.com localhost aduser1@mars.corp.com@localhost's password: Creating home directory for aduser1@mars.corp.com. -sh-4.3$ pwd /home/aduser1 -sh-4.3$ mkdir mountdir -sh-4.3$ touch 1 -sh-4.3$
- # mount.cifs //10.65.207.31/testshare /home/aduser1/mountdir/ -o username=aduser1 Password for aduser1@//10.65.207.31/testshare: *********

Questions: - I didn't see anything in the sssd debug logs other than user/group lookups. Anything to look out specific to cifs? Do you know howto access/enable cifs logs? - Do we test further read/write access control on the shares?

It was mostly ad-hoc, and primarily around bootstrapping the local community. Also didn't want to distract Fedora QA from the official test days, which this exercise could help increase participation in, when the test days start.
Looks like we got a few first-time contributors to Fedora (from the just-a-user pool), so looks like a good start to look at planning these things on a bigger scale, with more participation and more co-ordination.
... and you should get involved some way too :-)

There is a bunch of Fedora QA contributors who sign up from India and advertising it there might be useful. Also they might have some good ideas on planning the event if you are going to repeat a similar theme in the future.

If it was a weekend, that might be feasible.
