- Fedora Weekly News Issue 244 -

Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 244[1] for the week ending September 
22, 2010. What follows are some highlights from this issue.

Our issue kicks off with announcement of host bids for the next FUDCon 
LATAM 2011, accepted through September 30th. In development 
announcements, notice of Fedora 14 feature complete milestone and other 
items around Fedora 14 beta timing. In news from the Fedora Planet, how 
to properly (and improperly) distribute new PGP/GPG keys, details on Red 
Hat opening up the Fedora Students Contributing/Summer Coding program to 
greater involvement from the community, and coverage of the latest 
Fedora Board meetings. In Ambassador news, a summary of the discussion 
list traffic, including recent Test Days on the Anaconda Translation 
Keyboard and virtualization and a trip report from Ohio Linux Fest, and 
also coverage of discussion from the FAmSCo list. In Translation news, 
detail on some current stability issues with 
translate.fedoraproject.org, a new FLP representative for Fedora 
Websites team, and new members and sponsors for the Fedora Localization 
Project. Design team news provides a summary of Design Team work at the 
recent FUDCon in Zurich, and banner design work already in progress for 
the next FUDCon in Tempe, AZ. Our issue wraps up with security

---- FUDCon LATAM 2011 bids ----

Paul W. Frields[1] on Fri Sep 17 17:53:31 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"The bid period for the next Fedora Users and Developers Conference 
(FUDCon) in the LATAM region is open, and will remain open for a few 
more weeks. The bid process for FUDCon is outlined here: [3]

Two bids have already been received for FUDCon at this point, and the 
process will continue soon with an award, a budget, and an open and 
transparent planning process: [4] [5]

Bids will continue to be accepted until *September 30, 2010*. Bids must 
be published on the Fedora wiki, and a URL for the bid sent to the 
fudcon-planning list: [6]

The majority budget holder, the Community Architecture team, will 
consult with the bid teams and regional Ambassador leadership, work with 
the Fedora Project Leader to decide on a location and date, and make an 
announcement of the next LATAM region FUDCon soon afterward. Decisions 
for a FUDCon location are made on the basis of many factors, including 
costs, quality and quantity of bid information provided, facilities 
available, bid team commitment, and the desire to move FUDCon around a 
given region where practical.

Once the venue and dates are decided, planning for the LATAM region 
FUDCon event is expected to happen on the general fudcon-planning list. 
Planning will include regular, weekly meetings and use of a publicly 
visible ticket queue. This transparency helps the Fedora community 
participate; community members can help organizers plan and execute the 
work that goes into the FUDCon event. That participation can produce a 
higher quality event that meets or exceeds attendee expectations.

FUDCon is held several times each year around the globe as part of 
Fedora's premier events strategy. You can read more about Fedora events 
here: [7]

Please remove 'announce-list' from any replies to this message, since 
they'll be removed from its moderation queue. Thank you!"

--- We have reached Fedora 14 Feature Complete ---

---- By John Poelstra ----

John Poelstra [1] on Wed Sep 15 22:46:50 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"Thank you to all the feature owners and developers for all their hard 
work to make Fedora 14 the best Fedora release yet. We are almost to the 
end!

As a follow-up to last week's reminder [3]

ALL feature pages are now expected to be at 100% completion. The 
following features are not listed at 100% complete and are being sent to 
FESCo ([4]) for re-evaluation for inclusion in the Fedora 14 feature

I held off on saying "100%" there as I hoped to add C++ support to the 
"what is this RAM being used for" heuristics. Unfortunately that part of 
it needs some optimization work before it can be enabled. The rest of 
the feature works, but has bugs, so I've marked it as 100%; C++ support 
deferred; I've updated the feature page accordingly, and I'm working on 
improving the docs.

 > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7</ref>

This is essentially done (given the caveat in the release notes on that 
page), but a few stragglers are left to rebuild; some of them are 
fiddly. I believe that there's no significant risk to the release as a 
whole from those; I hope to look at them later tonight/tomorrow.

Sorry about this (got bogged down in RHEL work)"

--- Fedora 14 Beta Change Deadline Reached 2010-09-14 ---

John Poelstra[1] on Wed Sep 15 22:59:53 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"As a reminder, we have reached the Beta Change Deadline for Fedora 14.

"At the change deadlines for Alpha and Beta, pushes to the branched 
development repository (e.g. /pub/fedora/linux/development/14), are 
suspended until the Release Candidate has been successfully tested and 
staging has started to the mirrors."

--- Fedora 14 Beta Release Date at Risk ---

John Poelstra[1] on Thu Sep 16 22:31:14 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"We have missed the Fedora 14 Beta RC compose scheduled today because of 
unresolved Fedora 14 Beta Blocker bugs.

[3](NEW or ASSIGNED)

As soon as these bugs are resolved with new packages we will request an 
RC compose from Release Engineering."

--- bodhi v0.7.9 deployed ---

Luke Macken[1] on Mon Sep 20 18:19:06 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"A new version of bodhi has just hit production. This release contains a 
number of bugfixes and enhancements. [3]

---- Web UI Changes ----

* Improved editing functionality

- Only unpush edited updates when builds are altered
- Make a note in the comments of which builds were added/removed

* Allow people to revert their karma vote more than once
* Add mouseover tooltips to the update status with more details
* Prevent different versions of a package from being added to the same 
update
* Handle more types of bugzilla auto-linking in comments (ex: rhbz#1234)
* Link to the newer update in the obsoleted ones
* Link to gitweb instead of viewvc
* Set default (un)stable karma values if re-enabled
* Anonymous karma has never effected karma, so we now mark them as being 
ignored in the interface to make it obvious
* Get the 'suggest reboot' flag working again
* Allow non-critpath updates to be pushed to stable after meeting our 
critpath requirements
* Allow maintainers to request that their update be pushed to stable 
before the automatic approval job runs, if it already meets the 
time-in-testing requirements.

---- Client Changes ----

* Add --stablekarma, --unstablekarma, and --disable-autokarma client 
arguments
* Fix a bug in using `bodhi --push-build=` on multi-build updates
* Add a --bodhi-url command-line option
* Instead of requiring only one argument with a comma separated list of 
updates, support several builds as several arguments.

---- API Changes ----

* Remove our API pagination query limit of 1000
* Add a new 'author_group' field to each comment in our JSON API

---- Backend Changes ----

* Add the new 'dist-fN-updates{-testing,}-pending' tags to builds so 
AutoQA can start testing them before they get pushed
* List security & critpath testing updates in our updates-testing digest 
emails
* Download and inject the pkgtags sqlite db into our repodata from the 
pkgdb (which will be utilized by `yum search`)
* Email the proventesters about stale unapproved critical path updates
* Update the bug titles for all security updates before pushing (since 
security bug titles frequently change after the update is submitted to 
reflect the CVE id)
* Improved sanity checking in the masher when resuming pushes
* Properly capture & log stderr from our mash subprocess
* Improved metrics report generator (soon to be integrated into the web 
interface)

---- Bugs & RFEs ----

Please file and bug reports or enhancement requests here: [4]"

In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an 
aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.

Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin

--- General ---

Michael Tiemann reported[1] on a victory for the Open Source Initiative. 
"This week, Google announced that Google Code was going to treat all 
OSI-approved licenses as equal. Which is great news."[2]

Vincent Danen explained[3] how to properly (and improperly) distribute 
new PGP/GPG keys. "It is ridiculous that an organization supposedly as 
secure as CERT can have such poor distribution mechanisms for alerting 
users of their new GPG keys. It is really important that, when you 
update GPG keys and distribute the public key that you can easily 
establish trust of the new key."

Matthew Garrett compared[4] the "parallels between the Android/upstream 
scenario and Canonical's approach to upstream." Matthew continued:" 
Forking because you believe that your approach is better is a completely 
valid development model, but in the long run can cause problems if you 
don't have a long-term strategy for how to resolve that fork. For all we 
criticise Google's ability to get Android code into the mainline kernel, 
they've put orders of magnitude more effort into doing so than Canonical 
have in terms of getting Ayatana's code into mainline Gnome."

Kevin Fenzi looked back[5] at the development around systemd, now that 
its inclusion has been pushed back, out of Fedora 14 (but Kevin thinks 
"systemd is on track to be very solid for Fedora 15").

Karsten Wade announced[6] that Red Hat is opening up the Fedora Students 
Contributing/Summer Coding program to greater involvement from the 
community. "Rather than taking total control of this program forevermore 
for the Red Hat brand, we are convinced that applying the principles of 
the open source way to community events management is the right way to 
do such a program in the name of a community. In addition to inviting 
all Fedora users, enthusiasts, and participants to join in organizing 
this event, I want to specifically call out to the organizations – 
corporate, academic, non-profit, etc. – to join with some of their 
staff/members."

Máirín Duffy summarized[7] the Fedora Board meetings of September 10 and 
13, 2010. One of the items of business was trying to convince Jared 
Smith (Fedora Project Leader) to blog more, so hopefully we will have 
more posts to report on from Jared soon.

Stephen Smoogen called out[8] for help compiling a list of statistics 
(such as number of source packages, kernel, glibc, gcc and X versions) 
from a number of Linux distributions. Any Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, 
Mandrive or SuSE historians out there?

--- Stability Problems for translate.fedoraproject.org ---

Thomas Canniot from the French translation team put forward a query 
wanting to know the reasons that have been causing the transifex 
instance used by translate.fedoraproject.org to malfunction over the 
past few months[1]. Dimitris Glezos suggested that in the absence of 
dedicated sysadmins to monitor translate.fedoraproject.org the Fedora 
translation platform could be moved to transifex.net[2]. However, this 
suggestion was not well received especially since Fedora generally 
prefers to host its services within its own infrastructure[3].

Noriko Mizumoto filed a ticket with Fedora Infrastructure to investigate 
the matter[4]. Kevin Raymond volunteered to understand the workings that 
may allow him to maintain the transifex RPM for Fedora[5].

--- Fedora Design Team at FUDCon ---

A several members of the Fedora Design Team participated last week at 
the Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) in Zurich, where the 
team meet for a few tracks: in the first day Máirín Duffy delivered[1] a 
presentation about creating digital art with GIMP and Inkscape in the 
main room in front of an interested audience "So I gave my Gimp & 
Inkscape tutorial session in the afternoon. For the hour that I had I 
went over by 30 minutes or so, but my very patient audience stuck around 
(thank you!)", in the second day Máirín organised a Design Team 
Workshop[2] for the team members to meet and plan the activity and 
Papadeas Pierros held[3] a workshop about the 'Design Suite' spin "think 
we managed to reach a consensus on that: Design Suite should focus on 
the Graphic tools and provide also basic functionality for Audio and 
Video editing". The third day the team meet again in a BarCamp session 
about creating 'awesome art stuff'[4], also conducted by Máirín "We kind 
of left it open-ended, but since Milan from the Spacewalk team needed a 
hackergotchi and I had just taken some photos of him for it this 
morning, I offered a run through of making a hackergotchi in the Gimp as 
a demo we could do, and asked the audience if they had anything they’d 
be interested in."

--- Banners for the Next FUDCon ---

The Design Team is not only participating to FUDCons, it also help 
organizing them, Marc Stewart followed[1] a ticket and created a set of 
banners for the next FUDCon in Tempe "I've made a set of banners by 
taking the logo from here: and then rearranging elements to fit the 
various banner shapes." Then, following a reqest by Robyn Bergeron[2], 
Marc consolidated[3] them to the wiki "I've uploaded them to the wiki, 
along with archives of the complete collection and of the SVG sources, 
and created a page that shows/links to them all"[4].
