Are the mediawiki access controls sufficient for our needs? iirc they 
are pretty limited compared to moin's, but I'm not sure to what extent 
we're using them.

Dial-in

2008-02-11 Thread Paul W. Frields
The Board would like to set up a "town hall" style meeting for our first
meeting in March, if possible.  (The timeline is not strict, but I'd
like to be able to start telling the community our actual timeline very
soon.)  We'd like to support call-ins so people can hear the Board's
meeting publicly.  I have no idea how many people would actually show up
to listen, but let's assume it's in the 50-100 range, and maybe we're
nearly right.

Can we support this with our current Asterisk setup in Fedora?

TurboGears-1.0.4/SQLAlchemy-0.4 upgrade

2008-02-11 Thread Toshio Kuratomi

Hello TurboGears application developers,

We would like to upgrade the version of Turbogears and SQLAlchemy 
present on the Fedora Infrastructure app servers in the near future.


There are a few details that make this an update that I would like to 
have people test heavily but overall it should be an easy upgrade for 
most people.  Details:


TurboGears 1.0.4 is an update that retains TG-1.0.x compatibility.  We 
don't anticipate any problems with this portion.


SQLAlchemy 0.4 is an incompatible update to SA-0.3.x.  TurboGears-1.0.4 
includes changes to allow us to use it with minimal porting.  Most 
Fedora Web apps are using SQLObject so they shouldn't be affected by 
this update.  python-fedora's tgfas, pkgdb, and smolt use SQLAlchemy. 
loupgaroublond has already ported smolt so porting tgfas and pkgdb 
should be all that is needed to enable this.  I'll be testing ports of 
both of those this week.


If anyone has another web app that should be accounted for by this 
update, please *holler loudly*.


The two issues I anticipate:
1) FC6 is EOL but app3 is still FC6.  I've had success using EPEL-5 
packages on FC6/app3 for a few packages in the past but this could be a 
bit more involved as TurboGears has a lot of dependencies.  Unless we 
can plan on obsoleting app3 before we upgrade we'll need to do some 
testing on publictest1 as well as publictest10 to be sure that the TG 
package and dependencies work on FC6.


2) Because python-fedora has to be ported to the new SA API I also want 
to update the code to use the latest TurboGears conventions.  This will 
allow us to simplify the TG-Auth code quite a bit (I'll be able to get 
rid of about half of our code in favor of code that's carried in TG 
proper).  However, there is the risk that some of the bugs that we fixed 
when creating our code will be reintroduced because of this.  I'm 
thinking especially about the session bug where people would hit the 
login page and then not be logged in or hit the logout page but not be 
logged out.  Since that bug was hard to reproduce reliably, I'll need 
other people to help test this.


I'm getting the new python-fedora working on publictest10 right now and 
will be installing and testing the new stack on publictest1 soon 
(probably tomorrow.)  I'll send a note for people to beat on it while I 
port over the packagedb.

Smolt should still work on SQLAlchemy 0.3, maybe with some very minor
changes.  +1 for upgrading applications, as the new SA is very slick,
and TurboGears takes full advantage of this (like session creation
strategies that can be customized at a TurboGears level, so they can
be very intelligent about user sessions, or user threads, etc).
Even so, there's no rush if we don't need to.

This is blocking on getting the transifex deps into EPEL.  At this point I
think we should stick them in infrastructure repo, some of the package
owners have been contacted and been slow to respond

I've added it to my list of things to do this week, hopefully we'll get
transifex running on other boxes soon.

Toshio, thanks for doing all of this.

I've been thinking about this a bit and I'm not sure if "pure"
Asterisk is the right tool for this.  The Asterisk conferencing just
isn't very efficient for handling a few talkers and many listeners,
plus Asterisk doesn't always scale well.  What I see is something like
this:

1) Board members use a SIP client to dial into an Asterisk conference
call.  We'll need to make sure that board members have a properly
configured SIP client as well as a decent microphone/headset (built-in
mics on laptops need not apply).

2) Audio from the conference call is fed to a Flumotion (GPL and
already in Fedora) streaming server where the general public can
listen in.  Totem (and plenty of other F/OSS apps in Fedora) should be
able to stream the audio from the Flumotion server directly.  For
those who need to use another OS to listen in we could use Fluendo's
Cortado Java applet (GPL but not yet in Fedora AFAICS).

The key is figuring out how to get the audio from the Asterisk
conference to the Flumotion server, but I'm sure that the Fluendo
folks would be willing to lend a hand on the details.
