I wan't to get more involved in Fedora. Here is my current Fedora resume... - BugZapper for both KDE and Packagekit. - Maintain 20+ packages and am a Sponsor in the packaging group. - Work closely with the OLPC and Sugar folks at getting and maintaining the packages in Fedora - Responsible for creating builds of F11 with Sugar specifically for the OLPC XO-1 (Hope to get an XO-1.5 soon) see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 for info on this. What I am looking to do now is create a very simplified bugzilla interface that can be used by OLPC users, mostly children, to report issues with Sugar Activities in Fedora. Will develop in PHP and would like to develop and test it on one of the publictest servers. Also would like to help maintain the cvs servers and projects contained there. Any questions just ask. Is this intended to be deployed onto Fedora Infrastructure boxes eventually or just be developed/demoed on the publictest infrastructure? We haven't had development of known-non-Fedora stuff done previously but this might be a valid first case. If it's intended to run on Fedora Infrastructure, we very much prefer developing them in python. In fact, I don't think we have any non-python developed stuff. -Toshio It is intended to run on Fedora infrastructure. It is going to be an alternate front end to our current bugzilla instance. It could be built upon to create different front ends for other user groups as well. Developing it in Python will not be a problem. I am just in the beginning design stage atm. Steven = Steven M.

Last call for talking points - what makes you excited about F12?
If you've got a moment for some last-minute help... We (Marketing) will be freezing the F12 talking points list today, and are still somewhat light in the what makes Fedora awesome for admins and developers? categories. Right now we have libguestfs and kvm improvements for admins and maybe moblin for developers, but there must be more - and more reasons why they're awesome (why *is* libguestfs something that makes admins happy?). We figured you would know. The features list is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/FeatureList. If you've got a moment, please take a look at that, then edit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_talking_points with the things that are making you (as admins and devels) happy about F12 coming out. Help us promote the heck out of your work. ;) Thanks! --Mel PS: I know this is last-minute notice - sorry about that. We're still learning how to do things on a schedule, and next time around we'll put the call out here much earlier. ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

Got the outline of my proposal here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SugarZilla Nifty.
