The commit groups is svnfedora-zikula-theme and right now I am the only group admin (though this will change to include Mo and Simon shortly) so now you know who to ping if you need access. :) --Mel *why svn? a few reasons: (1) easier to deal with subfolders, (2) Mo likes it, (3) lower barrier to entry for designers, who can get tortoisesvn and drag and drop and click buttons instead of having to learn arcane git syntax and the command line just to contribute to an icon. (The eventual goal is to get Design folks to use version control for evvvverything as well.)

Fedora Insight status
by Mel Chua 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

To keep everyone in the loop - here's what's up (see log at end of email). As promised, I'll be updating the actual project page to reflect status later tonight (must find food first; stomach rumbly) - progress is *extremely* rapid right now, so keeping everything in sync will be a challenge. For future reference for where these discussions will be taking place: zikula-deployment-related things (modules, packaging, infrastructure, theming, etc) will all be on the logistics list. FI-content/workflow-related-things will all be on the marketing list. There will be a lot of overlap for the next few weeks, since the modules we're working on for deployment heavily affect the workflow we'll be using for our content. If you're on both lists, you'll get everything. If you're only concerned with zikula deployment and don't care about the details of how FI content will function, watch logistics. If you're only concerned with FI as a platform for marketing materials and don't care about the details of how that platform gets set up, watch marketing. We might have a few torrents of information on this over the next few weeks, as I will be erring on the side of transparency (information on what is happening available to everybody all the time). In particular, IRC conversations on FI zikula deployment will be summarized (and logged when possible) and sent to list - thanks to Rahul for the transparency-poke. We're moving fast, so things are chaotic. Thanks for keeping up and putting up with the construction mud and noise - I am *amazed* at how this is progressing. You folks rock. --Mel --- itbegins> mchua: Work overtook me the last couple of nights - how are we doing with Zikula? <mchua> itbegins: hey! mmcgrath was looking for you in #fedora-admin earlier about that, actually. <mchua> itbegins: he's getting it up on staging for us, but the fasauth plugin isn't working - it seemed to work when manually installed (grab source from git repo, stick in modules folder) but when the package was yum installed. <itbegins> mchua: Shoot, the package is out of date <itbegins> mchua: The code changes I made need to be mirrored into the package <itbegins> I completely forgot <mchua> itbegins: EvilBob went packager-hunting last night, and was successful - Chitlesh packaged at least one of the two modules you were looking for. * mchua looks to see which one. <mchua> itbegins: zikula-feeds. and mether is going to submit them for review. <mchua> itbegins: afaik, we still need pagemaster packaged and submitted and all that. <itbegins> If we get pagemaster done, we might be able to do this properly the first time - I can work on pulling it all together and walk mizmo through converting her templates <itbegins> if we just have feeds, that satisfies mizmo's biggest need when she was templating things <mchua> itbegins: this strikes me as a decent summary of activity in the last 24 hours, so I'm going to send the last few lines of this log to the marketing and logistics mailing list as a holdover for the better project status updates I should be writing tonight. <itbegins> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519483 <itbegins> looks like we got both <mchua> itbegins: WOW. That... awesome. *Both* packages. Wow. *torrent of gratitude towards Bob, Chitlesh, and Rahul* <itbegins> yes, I was impresed to say the least

Fedora Insight Zikula Instance - Module Packaging
by Simon Birtwistle 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I've been regularly chatting to mizmo on IRC for the past few nights and we came to the conclusion an additional couple of modules would be useful (both for usability purposes and functionality). I realise we're bumping up very close to deadlines etc, and I'm not sure what the effort in packaging new modules would be at this stage. So, I think we need to treat these as optional-but-very-desirable. The two are Feeds - for displaying RSS feeds in sideblocks or on separate pages. This is a very simple module URL: http://community.zikula.org/module-Extensions-display-ot-component-component id-28.htm Source: http://code.zikula.org/parked/browser/trunk/interesting/CategoryModules/Feed s/Core-12 PageMaster - for custom content types (this is especially useful for the events postings, though we may yet come up with a better solution for these...) URL: http://community.zikula.org/module-Extensions-display-ot-component-component id-99.htm Source: http://code.zikula.org/pagemaster/browser/trunk/modules/pagemaster As far as I know, neither have bundled libraries.

Spins page content
by Mike McGrath 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

So time is tight, Mo's got the mockups in good shape. I suspect the work of converting those mockups to actual HTML pages is going to be quite a process and a time consuming one at that. Should we get a specific list of things we want from the spins now so we can just plug them in when the time comes? I'm worried we'll get everything done just in time for F-12 but the spins won't have detailed pages yet. -Mike

Zikula 1.1.2
by Paul W. Frields 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Looks like the inimitable David Nalley has the Zikula 1.1.2 package into testing for F-10/F-11/EL-5. The new package eliminates a bunch of bundled libs, fixes some Requires/BuildRequires stuff, and is generally awesome. I think the publictest* machines are allowed to draw on the epel-testing repo, so it might be worthwhile to update to the new package, so we're testing the latest and greatest. I don't think I have the sysadmin-noc privs needed, can someone do that? Thanks David! -- Paul W.

Zikula PHP requirement change
by Paul W. Frields 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

David granted me commit ACL for the main Zikula package -- my purpose is to help him out with a package fix for Zikula. All the documentation on 1.1.x from Zikula states clearly that PHP >= 4.3 is required (even though they also note that the 4.x PHP branch isn't maintained anymore). So the 5.1.x that's in current EL-5 systems should be perfectly adequate. Does anyone object to my making this change, rebuilding the package, and submitting it for testing? -- Paul W.

Re: Zikula deployment date
by Stanley, Jon 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

I'm out right now but we decided that as the docs CMS, Zikula won't make it for F12. Marketing would like to have something minimally function, but I'm not sure if that's Zikula or something else right now, frankly. ----- Original Message ----- From: logistics-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <logistics-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> To: logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Sent: Fri Aug 14 20:18:27 2009 Subject: Zikula deployment date Do we have a solid date for when this is expected to be put into production? The Fedora Infrastructure schedule is tied, very closely to the Fedora launch. Note that we freeze two weeks prior to each pre-release. That means, as long as there's no slips, we will be frozen from September 8th through the 23rd as well as October 20th through the 4th. Just a warning from experience, these freeze zones really sneak up on you. Also, slips often get announced during one of our freeze periods so what starts as a 2 week freeze, often ends up being a 3 or even 4 week slip. Doing the math that leaves very little time during these pre-release and final release periods to get changes in. I'd strongly recommend getting zikula deployed as soon as possible, we're currently frozen for the alpha but we have a window from August 25th to September 8th where we can do this if it's ready. If not, we're pushing _really close_ to that period of time that almost never goes according to schedule. Also note the translation deadline is September 15th. Not sure if we were planning on having content that should be translated or not. -Mike, bringer of doom _______________________________________________ logistics mailing list logistics(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics This message contains information which may be confidential and/or privileged.
