I was actually talking about the Fedora Account System 2 session :)
That sounds very much like the lowering the barriers session from last
year (which, really, we should have every FUDCon and I'm quite glad to
see you doing it). Just in case things go for worst and I can't
make it
to yours and you can't make it to the FAS session. Take a look at
this:
https://publictest3.fedoraproject.org/fas/
I stand corrected. Should we combine the two sessions? There seems to
be enough overlap to justify it. On the other hand, perhaps my
proposed session should be broader in scope and address all ways to
improve the contributor experience, AKA lowering the barriers.
Its currently still in test so feel free to make up a user, it will
have
no barring on your actual user and you can just come up with whatever
you want. There is a CLA process in there that I think you'll find
MUCH
easier then the current method. There's also some bits for signing a
clickthrough CLA though I'm not sure how far along those bits are.
Let
me know what you think.
I'll check it out.
Thanks,
John "lower those barriers" Babich
Just a point about Lowering the Barriers. Right now if you follow
the instructions on the web pages you will never join the Doc. There
are ways to do it in other places and I tried one. Not sure yet if it
worked :-)
Karl listen, I've been nice by not saying anything but now I'm going
to. Over 1500 people have completed the very process that you're
complaining about.
Thank you Mike! I have asked if anyone else has succeeded in joining
and never got an answer. If 1500 people have done so then there is a
problem with my Linux F8 or my way of doing it.
Even in the time you've tried to apply people have succeeded. Its
not an easy process but it does take a level of competence and
independance to complete (we're working on making it better, really)
I'm not making fun, but your jabs and quips aren't helping anyone.
My jabs were because it seemed like nothing worked. Now I know I am
too stupid to succeed.
The docs mailing list is not the place for technical support for
signing the CLA and the fedora-list is not a blog.

Actually signing the CLA is duck soup. You print the file they send you
and mail it to the address given. Could not be more simple.
