Regarding the situation with reimbursements with in APAC
by Buddhike Kurera
Hi APAC FAms,
>From few months back there were some problems with reimbursement
process within APAC region. In lieu of Harishs' absence to fulfill
reimbursements and since APAC is not a having volunteer RH Credit Card
holder from the beginning, it becomes really difficult to reimburse
fund requests in Fedora-APAC trac.
I am keep in touch with Robyn and Ruth to solve this issue and Joerg
(Kital) is helping us reimbursing and cleaning the waiting list. While
thanking for Joergs' immense support on this process still there can
be some delays on getting money to your account due to high volume of
tickets to be reimbursed. Nevertheless please do inform to me or Tuan
if you are in urgent situation to get the reimbursement soon.
Getting RH Credit Card for APAC region is still stuck at RH Finance
and it seems we need to escalate the process before ambassadors get
frustrated and demotivated by not having money on time. I do hope
Robyn and Ruth will look into this matter and take required actions to
solve this situation asap.

Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera (bckurera)

[Event Report] Magit @ Pune Emacs Users' Group, India, February 22, 2013
by Shakthi Kannan
Hi,
I had presented an introduction to Magit [1], "Emacs + Magit = Git
Magic", at the Pune Emacs Users' group meetup [2] on Friday, February
22, 2013. Magit is an Emacs mode that interfaces with Git [3]. Magit
doesn't provide all the interfaces of Git, but the frequently used
commands. The user manual [4] was used as a reference. Magit is
available in Fedora. You can install it using:
$ sudo yum install emacs-magit
The talk was centered around the notion of writing a poem on Emacs in
Emacs, and using magit to revision it. I started an Emacs session,
created a directory with Dired [5] mode, and used magit (M-x
magit-status) to initialize a git repo. After adding a stanza in the
poem, I used the magit commands to stage (s) and commit the same (c,
C-c C-c) from the magit-buffer. Another stanza and a README file were
then added, and the different untracked, and tracked section
visibility options (TAB, S-TAB, {1-4}, M-{1-4}) were illustrated.
After adding the third stanza, and committing the same, the short (l
l) and long (l L) history formatted outputs were shown. The return
(RET) key on a commit in the magit-log history buffer opens a new
magit-commit buffer, displaying the changes made in the commit. The
sha1 can be copied using the (C-w) shortcut.
The reflogs are visible with the (l h) option from the magit-buffer.
The (d) command was used to show the difference between the master and
a revision, and (D) for the diff between any two revisions. Annotated
tags (t a) and lightweight tags (t t) can be created in magit.
Resetting the working tree and discarding the current changes is
possible with (X). Stashing (z z) the present changes, applying a
stash (a), and killing the stash (k) were demonstrated. An org branch
was then created (b n) to write a stanza on org-mode, and then merged
(m m) with the master branch. An example of rebasing (R) was also
illustrated. The magit-buffer can be refreshed (g) to check the
current status of the git repo. Anytime, the magit buffers can be
closed with the (q) command. A git command can be invoked directly
using (:), and the corresponding output can be viewed with ($), which
is shown in a magit-process buffer.
A summary of the various shortcuts are available in the presentation
[6]. The poem that I wrote on Emacs, and used in the talk:
Emacs is, an operating system
Which unlike many others, is truly, a gem
Its goodies can be installed, using RPM
Or you can use ELPA, which has already packaged them
You can customize it, to your needs
You can also check EmacsWiki, for more leads
Your changes work, as long as reload succeeds
And helps you with, your daily deeds
People say, it lacks a decent editor
But after using its features, they might want to differ
Using Magit's shortcuts, you might infer
That it is something, you definitely prefer
Plan your life, with org-mode
You don't necessarily need, to write code
TODO lists and agenda views, can easily be showed
Reading the documentation, can help you come aboard
Emacs is, a double-edged sword
Its powerful features, can never be ignored
Customization is possible, because of Free Software code
And this is, my simple ode
