Since a substantial portion of what Marketing is working on between now
and Alpha (March 2) is getting infrastructure/tools up so we can do our
work efficiently for the rest of the cycle, here's a quick update on our
two big marketing-related infrastructure projects, also sent to
Logistics for cross-team goodness (and mayyybe packaging help? maybe?).
Project 1: Zikula
This is for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight (which
includes FWN, and will be largely reusable for Docs), and progress is
being tracked on the logistics list,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics.
We are currently (still) on publictest6. We want to have soft-launched
on production by Alpha (March 3).
Simon has an overview of the remaining work that needs to be done before
we can be puppetized
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000303.html).
He's also updated the "how to set up a zikula sandbox" instructions,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_Zikula_sandbox.
We are blocked by final fixes to the theme (design/CSS help needed!)
which will then need to be packaged, as well as licensing issues with
Scribite
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000301.html)
but it looks like the interaction between Fedora and Zikula folks is
beginning to snowball
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/logistics/2009-December/000302.html)...
I'd like to see if we can get packagers + upstream on IRC at the same
time to just Work Out these licensing issues at one go, because asynch
communication is Very Slow.
After those blockers are out, I *think* we'll be go for puppetizing.
Project 2: Limesurvey
This is for
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_research#Infrastructure, and
seems like it should be relatively straightforward (but then again,
that's what I thought for zikula...) Robyn Bergeron and Ryan Rix are
driving this from the Marketing side of things, but I'm temporarily
stepping in for Ryan since he's afk for exams this week.
As far as I know, there's only one package involved in this (limesurvey)
which is still under review
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508817). It *sounds* from
the comments like it should be done and ready for approval, but a
reviewer (*coughIancough* is needed).
In the meantime, I tried installing the latest SRPM from Eric (Sparks)
on pt6, and failboated, details here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_limesurvey_sandbox#Install_the_package.
Once the package is approved and installed on pt6, I *think* that's all
we'll need (we might want to change the logo, but that's trivial and I
really can't think of anything else atm).
In the meantime-meantime, because we need to get the FUDCon survey up
yesterday, we're giving limeservice $10 to host a 250-response survey
for us so we can start administering that survey tomorrow. That means
we'll have a db ready to migrate whenever our limesurvey instance goes
up, plus people with familiarity administering limesurvey software via
the web interface (some of us, myself included, have used it before and
know the rudiments).
Questions? Comments? Am I missing something? (Is this helpful?)
