A few hours ago the wiki quietly switched under the URL cover, and with the final-import done, we are ready to have it, my fiends! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki There is a page you want to start at, and in particular the FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do#Individual_folks_to-do_list. There are many people who helped make this effort get even this far, especially all [...]
In case you were wondering what the status of the wiki migration is … The weekend went fairly well. Right now Mike is working on technical stuff, such as failover testing and redirects, which explains why the wikinew URL may not be working at any particular moment. Look for announcements on fedora-announce list.
Today is a holiday in the US (Memorial Day), and I’m spending part of mine working on the Fedora Project wiki migration. To be honest, I’m not a big BBQ party type of person, and living in a beach community that is the target of tourism, sometimes it is nicest to enjoy a holiday from [...]
Howdy from your friendly Wiki Gardener crew. Saturday’s early-import of data from Moin Moin to MediaWiki went well, after the usual sunburn and problems with attachments. The new wiki is alive for work, but is subject to random outages as Ricky thinks of clever new things to make the final migration days go easier. Many [...]
Who is in the Pacific Northwest and might want to go to OSCON for Fedora? Existing Ambassadors, yes, but if you’ve been wanting to step-up as a Fedora contributor, this is a good opportunity to join. To be clear, I’m just asking as another Fedora Ambassador, not as anyone who has purse strings to open. [...]
Last week I responded to an email sent to the webmaster@fp.org address. Most of the replies we make to those emails are stock-answers, such as http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ServerTestPage when they email that Fedora stole their website and replaced it with “your page,” or a pointer to the Fedora communicate and get help page. I felt compelled to [...]
That’s right, meta-evil planning continues right here, as I remain appointed to the Fedora Project Board. There was only one appointed seat remaining, and through legerdemain, geomancy, and the deployment of the correct team(s) of evil minions engaged in doing my bidding … well, let’s just say it was no contest. To quote myself: On [...]
Thank you Mark Reinhold for reaching out to make sure the OpenJDK website was ready for the Fedora 9 release with instructions on installing OpenJDK 6/IcedTea 7 under Fedora 8 and 9 and EPEL 5. Full instructions are here: http://openjdk.java.net/install/#fedora Mucho appreciado a Andrew Overholt, Andrew Haley, and Lillian Angel for technical and functional edits. [...]
… in case you haven’t heard. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/WikiMigration If you haven’t heard about this, it might be because your subproject/SIG leadership is already taking care of things. For example, a bunch of us from Fedora Docs have been working on this migration since the beginning, so people in the Docs Project can be fairly sure we [...]
When we met at CommunityOne to have a “battle of the GNU/Linux distros,” (or “smackdown” as Barton called it,) I didn’t expect it to be imbalanced. But it was. There was entirely too much love, respect, and violent agreement for me. You can witness for yourself by hoisting down this audiocast that includes a cool [...]
