Alexander,

Welcome to Fedora Docs. We're about a week away from the release of
Fedora 17, so the group is wrapping up processes right now. Once the
Fedora 18 cycle begins, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to
jump in. In the meantime, look around and feel free to ask questions
here on the list or in the #fedora-docs room on irc.freenode.net. We
have weekly IRC meetings[0] at 1400 UTC on Mondays in #fedora-meeting.

We're looking forward to working with you!

Self-introduction

Alexander Moore — 2012-05-22T19:23:56

I have written a lot of academic papers for my English classes. I covered a
variety of topics in those papers. I wrote a screen play based on the
"Killer Angles" novel by Michael Shaara. I wrote a descriptive paper on
series and parallel electrical circuitries and another descriptive paper on
the process of long division. I can go on about the history of Linux for
15-20 pages. I am two years into studying for a BS in Electrical
Engineering so my skill set is a beginner's level of c and c++ and I am
taking a java class over the summer. I am learning a lot about linux from
Fedora 16's documentation and I want to be able to keep it easy to learn
for users of future version. I am getting a "service unavailable" prompt
when I tried to sync my key with server specified.

Thank you.

Hi Christopher,

When you look at the list of languages, you can see that many of them have
"(no team yet)". Basically, these are the duplicated lang codes that
should be merged into the correct ones.

For your guide, this should mean just merging Japanese, Dutch, Russian and
Ukrainian, and delete the rest of the lang codes as there are apparently no
translations into other languages available for your guide. 

As I said during today's meeting, feel free to ping me on #fedora-docs if
you need any help.

Cheers,

Hi:

I have attempted to do this for the Musicians' Guide for the Fedora 16
revision.[1] I will not publish this Guide in English for Fedora 17
because I haven't made many changes.

Could somebody please confirm that everything is correct?


Thanks,
Christopher.

Broken xml, plain text, anything goes. Someone else will fix it up later. 

Reading other, validating topics is a good way to learn Docbook xml.

Have you thought about what you'd like to work on? Some people wait

easily get started now.

If you're not sure where to start, but you don't want to wait, I
recommend editing the wiki. We call this "wiki gardening." It's funny,
but a wiki page that definitely needs help is the "Docs Project tasks

You could add the rest of the official Guides with a brief

Self-Introduction: Jefferson Campos (Jeff - foguinhoperuca)

Jefferson Luiz Oliveira de Campos — 2012-05-17T14:16:52

Hello everybody!

My name is Jefferson Campos, but you can call me "Jeff". I am Brazilian,
from Sorocaba, São Paulo (en: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorocaba, pt_br:
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorocaba or http://www.sorocaba.sp.gov.br/). I
am 25 year old. My main language is Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese) but,
despite the simplicity, I can speak in English too.

I started with computer when I was 8 years old (3 if count my first
video-game). My first computer was a "XT" (monitor: background was black
and foreground was green!) then I owned a 386 PC and then a 486. That was a
good time! Now I own a modern computer :D

When I was 16 years old I went to "technical high school" (we call "escola
técnica" in Brazil) and started study about IT. When I was 20 I went to
college (Technologist, Computer Science). With 24 I went to college again
(Undergraduation, Mathematics).

I worked with programming (web programming and java) and mobile phone
programming too. I worked with GNU/Linux as system administrator t

Re: FUDCon KL Docs Hack system is live!

Joshua Wulf — 2012-05-15T01:04:14

Thanks to everyone who has tested it so far. We've uncovered and fixed some issues that would have been showstoppers at FUDCon!

We need more testing, so keep trying it out. 

I've also opened a couple of bugs for later:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821570 (props to gomix) <- hope to fix this one before FUDCon
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821572 (props to ianweller)

As some have noted, this system makes it easy for a new person to contribute with no need to:
* use git
* install any tools
* design a book from the ground up

and it also will enable:
* assigning different sections of a book to different groups
