--- General ---
Greg DeKoenigsberg responded[1] to slashdot[2] to correct what Nicholas
Negroponte actually said regarding the Sugar UI and OLPC. "But what we
did...was we had Sugar do the power management, we had Sugar do the
wireless management -- it became sort of an omelet. The Bios talked
directly with Sugar, so Sugar became a bit of a mess. It should have
been much cleaner, like the way they offer [it] on a stick now."
Jef Spaleta was excited[3] by the news that all of Launchpad has finally
been open sourced by Canonical.
Harish Pillay questioned[4] Microsoft's true motives behind contributing
GPL patches to the Linux kernel. Martin Sourada quoted[5] Linus'
response to the general feeling of hatred toward Microsoft in the Linux
community.
Daniel Walsh explained[6] how the SELinux "unconfined" domain works.
Peter Hutterer added[7] part 5 to the XI2 Recipes series, explaining
"grabs" and part 6[8], showing examples dealing with the client pointer.
Steven Moix provided[9] a few tips for natively running Fedora 11 on an
Intel Mac.
Jesse Keating described[10] how to tether an iPhone to Fedora over
bluetooth, for a truly wires-free internet experience.

-- Quality Assurance --
In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1].
Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson

--- Test Days ---
There was no main track Test Day last week. The Fit and Finish project's
Test Day track continued with its second Test Day, on power management
and suspend/resume[1]. The event was a success, with several testers
turning out, many bugs filed, and some fixed during the day or soon
afterwards, especially relating to laptops with multiple batteries.
No Test Day is scheduled for next week. If you would like to propose a
main track Test Day for the Fedora 12 cycle, please contact the QA team
via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[2].

--- Weekly meetings ---
The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-07-22. The full log is
available[2]. James Laska reported that he had published a blog post
asking people to help with the process of writing Debugging pages[3].
Adam Williamson mentioned that he had looked into creating some of the
desired pages, but did not know what kind of information was actually
required for any of the components concerned. Jesse Keating suggested
doing an informal interview-style session with maintainers to discover
what information is needed, and then having QA take responsibility for
turning that information into a finished Wiki page.
James Laska had created a meeting time matrix[4] for the purpose of
re-scheduling the QA meeting to make it possible for as many group
members as possible to attend. The group agreed that the new meeting day
and time should be Mondays at 16:00 UTC, moved from Wednesdays at 16:00 UTC.
James Laska noted that a Fedora 12 Alpha blocker bug review meeting was
scheduled for Friday 2009-07-24. It was agreed that Adam Williamson
would send out an announcement of the meeting, and James would send out
a recap after it had finished. Jesse Keating mentioned it would be good
to do some Rawhide install testing prior to the meeting, but a
combination of two significant bugs was preventing almost any Rawhide
install from working.
James Laska explained that a test compose for Fedora 12 Alpha was
scheduled for 2009-07-29, and Liam Li had made an announcement
requesting help on install testing[5]. Jesse Keating pointed out that it
would not be easy for the general public to take part, as the test
compose would not be generally distributed. This led to another long
discussion about the practicality of distributing time-critical test
composes to the public. No definite conclusion was reached, but a
tentative agreement was made to look into a system which would allow
access to such composes to members of the QA group in FAS.
Jóhann Guðmundsson noted that there were some problems with Dracut, the
nash/mkinitrd replacement being introduced as a feature in Fedora 12. It
has no implementation plan by which the progress of the feature can be
externally measured, and no detailed contingency plan beyond 'revert to
mkinitrd'. Jóhann agreed to contact the feature mantainer, Harald Hoyer,
to help develop a full test plan and contingency plan.
Will Woods reported on the progress of the AutoQA project. He has now
automated the first four test cases in the Rawhide Acceptance Test
Plan[6], and is now working on automating the installation tests. He
noted that separate i386, x86-64 and PowerPC test hosts would be
necessary for some tests, and that PPC might be difficult in the absence
of the Fedora standard libvirt virtualization framework on that
platform. Jesse Keating worried that the installation tests may be
adding too much complexity to the system, and asked how much faster the
process would be if only repository level tests were considered. Adam
Williamson pointed out that the full set of repository level tests were
the ones that had already been automated. Will promised that they would
be updated to send the results somewhere publicly accessible soon.
Sebastian Dziallas brought up the topic of a Test Day for the Sugar on a
Stick project[7] - essentially for the integration of Sugar with a stock
Fedora distribution. It was agreed that the SoaS project would host the
Test Day themselves using the SOP created for this purpose[8]. A
tentative date of 2009-09-03 was agreed for the test day.
The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[9] was held on 2009-07-21. The full
log is available[10]. No-one had heard from Brennan Ashton regarding the
status of the triage metrics project. Adam Williamson agreed to contact
him by email to find out the current status, and ask if he would be
interested in having a co-maintainer on the project, in the interest of
smoother development.
The group discussed the current draft of the critical path-based triage
component list[11]. There was a general feeling that the list was very
long and might contain components that, practically speaking, would not
benefit hugely from triage. It also seemed to contain at least some
binary (rather than source) package names, while Bugzilla is based on
source package names. Niels Haase and Matej Cepl volunteered to adjust
the list to use source package names, and break it up into groups for
ease of digestion, for further review at next week's meeting.
Adam Williamson gave an update on the status of the kernel bug triage
project. He admitted it had not progressed very far as he had been
focussing on anaconda triage. He outlined a plan under which a volunteer
would, as a test, triage bugs on one particular component of the kernel,
to see if the process could be made to work. Edward Kirk thought the
proposal a sound one, and Adam agreed to try and put in into practice in
the next week.
Finally, the group discussed the 'Bugzilla Semantics' proposal Adam
Williamson had made to the mailing list, involving various ways in which
the triage process could be tweaked and the use of the NEW and ASSIGNED
states changed. Initially discussion was in favour of retaining the
status quo, but Jesse Keating and Josh Boyer made it clear that the
development groups they were involved in used ASSIGNED in a different
way to its use by the Bugzappers group, and they would prefer if
Bugzappers marked bugs as having been triaged in some other way, so
their groups could take advantage of the triage process. It became clear
that there would be both benefits and costs involved in changing the
triage process. Adam Williamson agreed to send a follow-up email to the
mailing list to summarize the current state of the debate, and to see if
a consensus could be found on a future path.
The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-07-27 at 1600 UTC in
#fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-07-28 at
1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.

--- F12 Alpha blocker bug review meeting ---
Adam Williamson announced[1] the second blocker bug review meeting for
Fedora 12, to be held on 2009-07-24, mainly to review blocker bug status
for the upcoming Alpha release. Later, James Laska posted a recap of the
meeting[2].

--- Xfce spin testing ---
Adam Miller announced[1] the second test live image with the Xfce
desktop, and would appreciate testing and reporting of problems. He
noted that the known bugs in Anaconda at the time of the compose may
make the image very difficult to install, but it should be usable on
most hardware as a live boot.
1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-July/msg00391.html
--- KDE QA tester request ---
Kevin Kofler posted a request[1] for volunteers to help with KDE
testing. He noted that the requirements for testers were quite low, and
asked interested people to reply to the fedora-kde mailing list or
#fedora-kde on IRC. Two people, Aioanei Rares and Marco Crosio, were
quick to volunteer, and were accepted as the new KDE testers.
1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-July/msg00423.html
--- Bugzilla semantics debate ---
The Bugzilla semantics debate[1] continued throughout the week,
especially following the input from developers at the QA meeting (see
above) and the subsequent summary[2] posted by Adam Williamson. He
proposed three options: leaving the current triage process unchanged and
encouraging development teams who currently use ASSIGNED to mean a bug
has been accepted by a certain developer to use ON_QA instead; changing
Bugzappers practice to use a keyword to mark triaged bugs going forward,
but leave all existing bugs as they are; or changing Bugzappers practice
going forwards and also attempting to 'fix' existing bug reports to use
the keyword where appropriate. Jesse Keating seemed to favor the second
option[3], and John Poelstra agreed[4].

-- Translation --
This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n)
Project[1].
Contributing Writer: Runa Bhattacharjee

--- F12 Translation Team Schedule Proposal ---
The Fedora 12 Translation schedule has been drafted by John Poelstra and
shared[1] in the fedora-trans mailing list for feedback from the FLP.
Dimitris Glezos suggested[2] that the string freeze date can be pushed
back from 1.5 months prior to translation deadline to 1 month and to
rename the Release Notes translation task to indicate it as 'beta'.
Ankit Patel mentioned the need for a translation review period ahead of
the final packaging of the translated modules.
Additionally, John Poelstra and Paul Frields both requested[3] the
presence of a member from the FLSCo at the Release Readiness meetings.

--- Translation Quick Start Guide Updated ---
The maintainer of the Translation Quick Start Guide (TQSG), Noriko
Mizumoto informed[1] about the availability of the updated version of
this book. Some minor errors in the main document and a few translated
versions were also corrected after the updation[2].

In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].
Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei

--- Evaluating the Gallery ---
After some time spent with the gallery test instance[1], Nicu Buculei
shared[2] of @design-team his impressions: "the current authentication
is a killer[...], is not easy to mass upload[...], there are only a few
[plugins] available[...], some operations are cumbersome". He also
showed concern about the small involvement of the team in testing "I see
only very few of us played with the gallery, which make me doubt it is a
popular/useful/wanted feature". In reply, Martin Sourada explained[3] it
by the little time passed and summer vacancies "given that it's been
around 11 days since Mo announced this[...] and seeing how many people
are active here during the summer vacations, it's quite understandable
that not many of us have tried it yet". After Martin questioned[4] the
legality of publishing wallpapers from old released, Paul Frields
intervened and confirmed[5] those are free: " these contributions to
Fedora should fall under a license that allows reuse, redistribution,
and remixes, although I suspect it's not Creative Commons."

--- A Small Icon Request ---
Matthias Clasen addressed[1] what he calls "a small icon request" to
@design-team: "With Gnome 2.28 in F12, it will be possible to have
different icons for the xdg dirs[...] It would be pretty cool if we
could create icons for this in a style that matches the existing
user-home icon in our default icon theme (ie the folder icon with an
overlayed embled in the Mist theme)" and in reply Andreas Nilsson
pointed[2] this is worked upstream by Lapo Calamandrei "It seems like
Lapo Calamandrei wanted to take care of this and create some 256x256
icons in the process. Hopefully this will land in gnome-themes soonish
(and in good time for 2.28/F12)."

--- Fedora 12 Theming Progress ---
Martin Sourada announced[1] a wiki page for hosting Fedora 12 theme
proposals "we've taken over the F12_Artwork wiki page[2] created by
bioinfornatics, cleaned it up and added the designs concepts I've found
in the design-team archives". He also announced the official page
holding a despription of the artwork process [3] and reminded the time
until the next deadline is passing fast "Also, according to our current
Schedule, we are past the concept submission deadline and have about
another eight days for working on the wallpapers we want to review for
F12 Alpha inclusion", encouraging people to submit their works "if you
have a design concept you like, focus your work onto it and help making
it awesome :-)"
On theming related news, MERCIER Jonathan asked for feedback[4] about
one of his design ideas "it's make with Blender, i can give blend file
what did you think about this image ?" and Nicu Buculei shared[5] some
mosaic photos[6] he thought may be interesting "I have no idea which
architectural style is this, but yesterday evening (around the 'golden
hour') when passing near a group of fountains in the center of my city I
noticed the mosaic and i *had to* take some photos ans share them with
the rest of the gang."

-- Virtualization --
In this section, we cover discussion of Fedora virtualization
technologies on the @fedora-virt, @fedora-xen-list, @libguestfs,
@libvirt-list, @virt-tools-list, and @ovirt-devel-list lists.
Contributing Writer: Dale Bewley
--- Fedora Virtualization List ---
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.
---- New Release libguestfs 1.0.64 ----
Richard Jones announced [1] the release of
image:Echo-package-16px.pnglibguestfs 1.0.64.
New Features:
* New tool: virt-cat. This tool lets you copy out files from a guest.[2]
* Added libguestfs-test-tool which is a tool you can use to diagnose
qemu / kernel booting problems, and also make bug reports more useful.
* [Sys::Guestfs::Lib] split $os->{version} into $os->{major_version} and
$os->{minor_version}. Add feature tags. (Matt Booth).
* Allow TMPDIR to be used to override the location of temporary files.
* Implement the guestfs_read_file call.
* New calls guestfs_mkmountpoint and guestfs_rmmountpoint to allow some
specialized read-only or nested filesystems to be mounted, particularly
for examining live CDs.[3]
* New call guestfs_mountpoints to return a hash of device -> mountpoint.
* Many documentation fixes, including an "API Overview"[4] section which
will help developers navigate parts of the now very large libguestfs API.
* Add ~ and ~username expansion in guestfish (RHBZ #511372).
* Add kernel modules for reading DOS filesystems (Guido Gunther).
* Add i18n support for Perl strings.

---- Swap Use in Guests ----
Rich Mahn asked[1] "How big should the swap parititons be on virtual
machines under qemu, qemu/kvm?" "It seems to me that if the VM actually
needs swap space, it would be more efficient to allocate more
virual[sic] memory to it."
Richard Jones found[2] this to be an interesting question, but argued
"One place I think you're wrong is the assumption that adding more
memory to a VM is better than having the VM use a swap disk. The reason
would be that the VM's memory manager will assume that the [from its
point of view] physical memory will be much faster than swap, and so
will arrange memory vs swap use accordingly. But this assumption isn't
true, this so-called physical memory is really just as slow as swap!"
Richared pointed out Kernel Shared Memory[3] further complicates things.
Dor Laor added[4]"Guest swapping is a reasonable scenario that should be
allowed and supported." On the question of oversubscribing host memory
to guests, Dor said "You can overcommit VM memory and it might be good
if you have many VMs that have low memory foot print. If it is not the
case, you better not do it."

---- Clustering libvirt Hosts ----
Gianluca Cecchi asked[1] "is there any pointer about how to set up a
cluster of Qemu/KVM hosts?" "What are the uuid tags into the xml for? Do
they have to be identical for clusters or do they have to be absolutely
different for a sort of "identification" of host (as the term seems to
suggest)?"
Richard Jones pointed out oVirt[2] "which is an open source management
tool designed precisely for looking after networks of virt hosts. It is
based on libvirt, and they have looked at and solved many of the issues
you raise."
Guido Günther answered[3] "In principle they don't have to be the same
across hosts since you can identify the network by name and the volumes
by their path but I prefer to keep them in sync (using shared nfs in my
case)."

---- Virt Manager UI Rework ----
Cole Robinson has "been reworking the main manager view in virt-manager"
and asked[1] for comments.
In another UI tweak, Cole created[2] a system tray icon that "can be
used to quit the app, or start, stop, pause, or open a VM."

virt-what[2] "is a collection of code snippets to allow you to determine
what sort of virtualization you are running inside."
"The new version can tell the difference between QEMU and KVM, and can
tell if you are running inside a Xen fullvirt guest."
