Ankur Sinha — 2012-05-24T04:14:05

Hiya folks!

Even though the conference is over, there's still work to be done :)

I've already announced a wiki page[1] that lists all
presentations/posts/photos/videos related to FUDCon KL. Please add your
entries there. There were quite a few of us there, and the wiki page
doesn't reflect that in magnitude yet :P

Please upload your presentations to archive.org as well and add the link
on the wiki page. Do remember to tag all your work with
'fudconkl2012' (photos, presentations, vidoes, blogs). That will make it
easy to find.

You would need to package t as a RPM package. Once you create a RPM
installation is trivial. Be sure the check the packaging guidelines of
JAVA software as a RPM package here [1].

If it is a GUI/Desktop application then you can add it to your
respective desktop's start-up applications list.

RPM

What do you mean by a launcher?
If it is a system service, then you create an init script.
If you want a shortcut icon somewhere on the applications menu /
desktop, you can create a shortcut icon ( a .desktop file ) as
described in [2].

I would say 3 to 4 hours but that can vary depending on whether there is
a release, questions in the forum that you answer etc. A important
requirement is to be a package maintainer to maintain the Askbot package
in the repository.

[fedora-india] Do you want to lead Ask Fedora?

Rahul Sundaram — 2012-04-16T19:18:24

Hi

Is anyone interested in helping lead Ask Fedora? The following tasks
needs to be done on a regular basis:

* Update and test Askbot whenever there is a new upstream release

* Coordinate with Kevin Fenzi (nirik in #fedora-admin) for deploying to
staging instance and test it for regressions, flesh out new features etc

* Deploy to production instance after testing. Having some knowledge of
Puppet would help in doing this task but if not coordinate with Kevin
for this as well

* Developing or coordinating development of new features useful for Ask
Fedora.  Python and Django knowledge would be useful for this step but
not mandatory

* Develop policies for moderators, helping out as a admin for Ask Fedora
and keeping an eye on the forum in general, including unanswered
questions.

* Last but not the least, participate in the forum itself but asking or
answering questions.

You can delegate some of these tasks and do it as a team.  Let me know
if you want to take over.  I will still be involved to whatever ex

[fedora-india] Moving all requests to the APAC trac

Ankur Sinha — 2012-04-11T21:14:51

Hello,

Of late, APAC has been trying to improve the situation with swag,
funding, reimbursements and the sort. Since Harish is the only Comm Arch
person responsible for all of APAC, we think it's better to open all
tickets at the APAC trac where they can be discussed at the bi-weekly
APAC meetings, and are all at one spot for Harish to review. Keeping
this in mind, I've opened a ticket with FAmSCo requesting the the India
trac be made read only, and all future tickets for *all of APAC* be
opened in the APAC trac. The ticket is here[1]. It'll be discussed in
this APAC meeting this Saturday (again) to make a final decision. I
request you to please post your comments on the ticket, or at the APAC
meeting (which is preferred).

Greetings.

I thought I would drop a reminder here about RHEL entitlements for EPEL
maintainers. If you are a maintainer of packages in EPEL, you can get a
entitlement to run RHEL to help you test and fix your package(s).

See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_RHEL_Entitlements

for more information and process to request your entitlement.

Hopefully this is useful to some. ;)

Hi,

I presented an introduction to Publican [1] at the Document Freedom
Workshop 2012 [2] at the Computer and Statistical Service Centre
(CSSC) [3], S N Bose Bhavan, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata
[4], West Bengal, India held between March 28-29, 2012.

Day I

A Mani [5] started the day's proceedings with an introduction to
Free/Libre/Open Source Software, and basic shell commands. We had a
computer lab with Fedora installed where the participants used the
terminal to try out the hands-on exercises.

I then introduced Publican to the audience comprising mostly of
students and faculty. Jared Smith [6] had presented Publican during
FUDCon Pune 2011 [7], and, with his permission, I added more content
and a lab section. The participants were able to use Publican to
create and build documents with Bengali content!

After lunch, Sourav Sen Gupta [8] gave an introduction to LaTeX [9]
and Beamer [10] with his "'Golden Ratio' for Typesetting - A quick and
random introduction to LaTeX and Beamer" presentation.
