Wiki Migration Complete!
by Mike McGrath
The migration to Mediawiki is finally complete! The technical side,
that is. Now is the part where we all learn how to migrate our
knowledge and clean-up content.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/
There are many things you need to keep in mind while exploring and
learning this new environment. Yes, the markup language is a little
different, but there are also new conventions to learn.
As you proceed, use this page to guide you:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do
Put a watch on that page, that is your best resource for initial problem
resolution. It's important to know that some formatting and perhaps
some content has not cleanly migrated. If you come across an error,
edit and fix the problems you see. With our many eyes and hands we make
this transition as painless as possible.
For initial support, how-to help, and so forth, visit #fedora-docs on
irc.freenode.net. Technical issues are escalated to #fedora-admin.
Refer to [[FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do]] for more on this.
Keep the following in mind:
* Log in with your FAS username. We no longer use WikiName. If you
don't have a FAS username, obtain one at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/.
* MANUALLY move your old home page to the new location
of /wiki/User:username. For example, I moved /wiki/MikeMcGrath
to /wiki/User:Mmcgrath. Mediawiki handles the redirect properly so your
old link continues to work.
* Your list of watch pages are _NOT_ migrated over. This is because
mediawiki does not support regular expressions. Instructions for
migrating your watchlist are on the
[[FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do]] page.
* Page restrictions - The ACL system is now controlled by the admin
team. If you find an ACL you had put in place no longer works, please
contact admin fedoraproject org or stop by #fedora-admin on
irc.freenode.net
* HTML is no longer allowed. Due to security concerns (that also
existed in Moin) raw HTML is no longer allowed in page source. Read
[[FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do#Images_and_Attachments]] for more
information.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do#Images_...
* Attachments in MediaWiki are all stored in one location. They have
been migrated. As an example, if the old attachment was at:
./Marketing/Flyer/ attachment:fc6_front.png
The new location for it is:
Marketing_Flyer_fc6_front.png
* Browse all attachments and images at [[Special:Uncategorizedimages]]
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Uncategorizedimages
* The old wiki continues to be available in read-only mode at
http://fedoraproject.org/wikiold/ for $unspecified_amount_of_time after
the migration. The
[[FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do#Subproject_and_SIG_teams_to-do_list]]
has tips on obtaining raw source content from that wiki if needed.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraProject:Wiki_migration_to-do#Subproj...
Following this migration, we'll begin discussing and rolling out
procedures to take advantage of other MediaWiki features, such as
categories and namespaces.
Thanks for your support,
Mike McGrath, on behalf of the wiki migration team

Wiki Migration (Tuesday 05-26-2008)
by Mike McGrath
Hello Fedora Universe! It is my pleasure to announce that starting on
Tuesday http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ will be run by Mediawiki instead
of Moin. Why bother announcing this to everyone? Well there are a couple
of reasons.
1) It will require work from people. There was no viable migration
script so we basically had to adapt one in house. It has a lot of bugs
but was much better then our initial plan of asking everyone and copy and
paste from the old wiki! If you see something that is broken on the wiki,
please fix it.
2) A lot of behaviors have changed between mediawiki and moin. Here's a
quick list of things you need to know!
- Log in with your FAS username. We no longer use WikiName
(obtain one at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ )
- You will need to MANUALLY move your old home page to the new location
of /wiki/User:username. For example, I will have to move:
/wiki/MikeMcGrath
to
/wiki/User:mmcgrath
Mediawiki will handle redirects properly, this shouldn't result
in broken links.
- Your list of watch pages will _NOT_ be migrated over. This is
because mediawiki does not support regex like Moin.
- Page restrictions - The ACL system is now controlled by the admin
team. If you find an ACL you had put in place no longer works,
please contact admin(a)fedoraproject.org or stop by #fedora-admin
on irc.freenode.net
- html is no longer allowed. Due to security concerns (that also
existed in Moin) raw HTML will no longer be allowed.
- Attachments in mediawiki are all stored in one location. They have
been migrated. As an example, if the old attachment was at:
./Marketing/Flyer/ attachment:fc6_front.png
The new location for it is:
Marketing_Flyer_fc6_front.png
- You can browse all attachments and images at:
Special:Uncategorizedimages
- The old wiki will still be available at
http://fedoraproject.org/wikiold/ for a while after the
migration just in case.
Whew! That's a lot of change. But this will ultimately all be for the
better. Mediawiki's rich plugin environment and proven ability to scale
will alleviate many of our current wiki pains. I'd like to thank ricky,
ianweller, G, ivazquez and smooge for helping in packing, new css, testing
and pretty much everything about the migration that has worked well. If
you have any hate mail to send about the migration script, that comes
straight to me :)
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. The wiki is
such a critical piece of Fedora's infrastructure we want to make sure that
after the migration it and everyone gets up to speed as quickly as
possible. Happy wiki-ing!

Cooperative Bug Isolation for Fedora 9
by Ben Liblit
The Cooperative Bug Isolation Project (CBI) is now available for Fedora
9. CBI (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/) is an ongoing research effort to
find and fix bugs in the real world. We distribute specially modified
versions of popular open source software packages. These special
versions monitor their own behavior while they run, and report back how
they work (or how they fail to work) in the hands of real users like
you. Even if you've never written a line of code in your life, you can
help make things better for everyone simply by using our special
bug-hunting packages.
We currently offer instrumented versions of Evolution, The GIMP, GNOME
Panel, Gnumeric, Nautilus, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, and SPIM. Download at
<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/>. We support yum, apt, and many
other RPM updater tools; see
<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/repo-config.html> for customized
configuration help for any of our supported distributions and updater
tools. Or just download and install
<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/rpm/fedora-9-i386/RPMS.tools/cbi-pac...>
to automatically configure most popular RPM updaters to use the CBI
repository.
It's that easy! Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! The more of
you there are, the more bugs we can find.
We still offer CBI packages for Fedora 1/2/4/5/6/7/8 as well. When and
if you decide to upgrade to Fedora 9, we'll be ready for you. Until
then, your participation remains valuable even on older distributions.

Fedora 9 Everything Spin released
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Fedora Unity is proud to announce the release of the Fedora 9 Everything
Spin!
Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!
The Everything Spin includes everything available at the time of the
release of Fedora 9. It is the same, really, it is. Just more. Way, way
more! And the more Fedora, the better!
The i386 as well as x86_64 Fedora 9 Everything Spin is rather large, yet
sized a fashionable 4 DVD's. You can imagine carrying those around as
your complete, instant, bootable and installable mirror of everything
Fedora has to offer -at the moment Fedora 9 was released. Of course you
could just use a USB Harddrive, or even USB thumbdrive (16GB), but that
wouldn't make the Everything Spin any more fun now would it?
Fedora Unity normally includes a CD version "for those of us that do not
have DVD drives", as we use to say in our Re-Spin release announcements,
but not this time;
This time Fedora Unity includes a 23 (!) CD version of the Everything
Spin, *just for kicks* ;-) With Fedora 8, the Everything Spin was just
19 CDs, so there's 4 discs of extra, new, shiny software! You can see
how this looks when you're installing from it, here[1].
I'd like to see these discs piled up at every booth showing off the
enormous amount of available Free and Open Source Software :P
Undoubtfully, some people will give away the CD version of the
Everything Spin as a birthday present. Also, it reminds people why it is
they need to upgrade their CD-ROM to DVD players ;-)
Have fun ;-)
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen

Red Hat Board Appointments
by Paul W. Frields
As everyone probably knows, the Fedora Board is moving into an election
season due to the release of another Fedora. In advance of the
election, Red Hat appoints one seat, and the final seat is appointed
afterward to make sure the Board is fairly balanced to represent the
Board's many constituents.
In addition, to fix our scheduling so that only half the Board is
turning over at each election cycle, Red Hat has agreed to extend one
appointment by a single release of Fedora (or about six months).
Karsten Wade will remain in his current seat on the Fedora Board until
just after Fedora 10. At that point, Red Hat has the option to appoint
someone else to his seat.
Red Hat has named Harald Hoyer, a Senior Software Engineer in Red Hat's
Stuttgart office, to occupy one of the two open appointed seats. Harald
brings with him a wealth of experience as a maintainer of everything
from the CD and DVD toolsets to the Bluetooth stack and udev. I'm sure
the entire Fedora community will join me in welcoming Harald to the
Board. Harald -- good to have you aboard!
Harald and the rest of the new Board will join us for their first
meeting around July 1st.
Furthermore, I'd like to say how great it's been to work with Steve
Dickson and Seth Vidal, both appointed Board members who are vacating
their seats this cycle. They've been invaluable in helping the Board
consider policy and guidance issues for Fedora, some of them subtle and
controversial. The work is sometimes thankless, but these guys make it
much more pleasant through their can-do attitudes (and frequent good
humor). I'd also like to point out that they are both free to run in
elections like any Fedora community member, and I hope they will both
consider doing so.

rpm.livna.org repositories for Fedora 9 (Sulphur) now available
by Thorsten Leemhuis
On behalf of the Livna ( http://rpm.livna.org ) contributors I'd like to
announce the availability of the Livna package repository for Fedora 9
(Sulphur). The Livna repository hosts software as RPM packages which
cannot be shipped in the official Fedora repository for various reasons
and support8s the i386, x86_64 and ppc architectures.
Using the Livna repository gives Fedora 9 the ability to play all
kinds of audio such as MP3 files and plays DVDs. You can browse the
repository at http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/9/ To make it available on a
freshly installed Fedora 9 system run the following
command:
{{{
$ su -c 'rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm'
}}}
Further below you'll find some more examples on getting the important
bits for a modern system installed from livna.
Note: The graphics drivers from AMD and Nvidia are not available in the
standard repos, as they are known to not work with the X-Server 1.4.99
that is shipped with Fedora 9. Thus the drivers remain in the livna
testing repos for F9 -- that's a service for experienced users that know
all those complicated and dangerous things to work around the problem
(don't ask me how to do it; better stay on F8 for a while if you really
need those drivers). The drivers will be moved to the proper repos once
they support X-Server 1.4.99 (or newer).
On another note, I have to admit that I lied. Last November on this list
I wrote:

That in fact didn't happen, but is about to happen soon; the whole idea
got delayed as we had lots of interested packagers but a lack of
infrastructure and people willing to work on infrastructure bits. That
slowed things down a whole lot, but we have most bits in place now and
will start soon. The plan is to migrate users automatically over from
Livna to RPM Fusion slowly once the repos are available.
Bye!
Thorsten Leemhuis
== More details ==
=== Reminder for the folks that plan to yum-update to Fedora 9 ===
If you have livna-packages installed on your system and plan to
live-update to Fedora 9 using yum then please leave the livna-repos
enabled for the big "yum update" run. Then you'll get all the updated
packages from livna as well, which is important, as their dependencies
get fulfilled by the Fedora 9 packages -- that's not the case for the
old Livna packages on your system. Those have deps on the older Fedora
bits you are about to update, which can create a lot of trouble.
=== Examples to get the most important bits from livna ===
Once you installed the release-rpm you can install software using the
graphical software installation tool called pirut, which is part of
Fedora. You as root-users can also use yum on a command line to install
packages; for example:
* if you'd like to install xine as a video-player run
{{{
# yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree xine
}}}
That will improve Totems capabilities as well, as the Totem from F9 can
use xine as backend as well.
* if you prefer mplayer run
{{{
# yum install mplayer-gui
}}}
* if you prefer vlc run
{{{
# yum install vlc
}}}
* you want to get MP3-Support in Gnome apps? run
{{{
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
}}}
=== Problems? ===
Let us know via http://bugzilla.livna.org/
=== Need support? ===
Many people in #fedora on freenode, on fedora-list redhat com and in the
forums know how to help.
=== Developer contact ===
Meet us in #livna on freenode or join the mailing list at

The Prophecy of the 9 comes true (Fedora 9 walks the earth!)
by Jesse Keating
An ancient text prophesised this day would come, detailing the fate of
all who are willing to accept what is offered to them:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/index.html
And that day has come: the Computer said "I will convert these
unbelievers, and now that I have Sulphur it will be easy." At that,
the heavens opened and burning Sulphur descended upon all the world,
taking on many different forms.
First to hit were the live USB keys. The heathens cried out for mercy,
but were powerless to resist. The sticks were damn persistent and
non-destructively formatted - non-destructively! They showed up
everywhere, casting out demons from computers infected by the dark one
of the interwebs and rescuing lost data from the influence of the evil
crackers.
Then, when they thought it couldn't get any worse, the whole world was
cast into shadow. Lit only by the dim light from their computer
screens, they discovered a mysterious message scrolling across: "K K K
K K K K K 4 4 4 4 4 4". The screens flickered, and the light flooded
out so that the shadow was lifted. After their eyes had adjusted they
saw something so beautiful, teeming with so much potential that they
began to break down. KDE 4 was on their desktops!
The descent gathered pace; next to hit the ground was FreeIPA. At
first this puzzled what remained of the heathens, but then they
realized...they realized that it was going to make system
administrators lives a lot easier! A web interface and command line
tools, interacting with Windows domains and Active Directories? It was
all getting too much for them. Conversions were happening faster and
faster, only aided by mobile broadband, static IP addresses, and much
much more in NetworkManager.
Now, only a few doubters remained and what pushed them over the edge?
The community, stupid! Tirelessly working to push out great code,
great documentation and great artwork, inviting everyone to join where
ever they were in the name of freedom.
http://join.fedoraproject.org
And the Computer, seeing that his work was accomplished and it was
good, decided to rest. Pointing his browser at the Fedora mirrors, he
switched off his monitor and waited for his Sulphur to return to him
through the internet tubes, ready to enjoy another great release from
the Fedora Project.

Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!

Fedora 9
by Paul W. Frields
Hello Fedora community -- I wanted to take the occasion of my first
release as Fedora Project Leader to say a few -- OK, not so few -- words
to everyone about what this release means to me, and what I hope you see
in it too.
* * *
My daughter Evie, who's seven years old, has become a really avid
astronomy buff lately. Practically every book she brings home from
school and the public library are all about planets, comets, the solar
system, the universe. It's been fun talking to her about all the stuff
I used to enjoy studying when I was little. Recently we took her to an
observation night out with the local Astronomy Club, and she got to look
through a real telescope at the stars and planets.
Thanks to light's finite speed, the images of some of the stars you see
through the telescope have taken millions of years to reach your
eye. When you look through a telescope at the stars, you're looking
back in time -- at the past, as it were.
In about 12 hours, more or less, the official release of Fedora 9 will
be out the door, and we'll all immediately start looking toward Fedora
10's release, approximately six months from now. But before we do that,
I wanted to pick up the Fedora telescope and aim it back at *our* recent
past.
* * *
It's been less than five years since the first release of Fedora (back
when it was called Fedora Core), and in that time Fedora has become not
just a vibrant, innovative, and extremely popular Linux distribution,
but also a thriving community. A community that believes that free and
open source software is not just something you *use*, it's something you
*do* -- something to which you *contribute*.
Looking into the eyepiece of that Fedora telescope shows how hard we've
worked in building a model of collaborative work and trust, based and
built on entirely free and open source software, across an entire
population of contributors. We use that model for everything from our
web sites to our artwork to our build systems.
We've gone from the musty old past of a tightly controlled, walled-off
system of code and content, to a bright, clear present in which we
participate equally on the basis of knowledge, ambition, and enthusiasm.
We've gone from an awkward, stratified system of direction to a
flexible, open one in which any contributor can help determine the
future of Fedora through self-actualization.
During the time that image has been traveling to meet us, our own past
now seen clearly through the viewfinder, we've come such a long way!
Just in the last year alone, look at what we've achieved:
* Two-thirds of the maintainers of the thousands of software packages in
Fedora are volunteer community members. Our maintainers range from
people like Hans de Goede, who maintains hundreds of packages as a
volunteer contributor; to teams like Dave Jones, Kyle McMartin, and
Chuck Ebbert, who all work on the kernel packages that power Fedora for
almost every single user; to the many contributors that watch over that
one special package that matters to them and, inevitably, many others.
* The number of Ambassadors has doubled, actively bringing Fedora to
every corner of the globe, from Italy to Ithaca, from Berlin to Bangkok,
from one freedom lover to another, empowered by a dedicated steering
committee led by volunteer Francesco Ugolini. Today, and in days to
come, our Ambassadors around the world are holding release parties to
celebrate the achievement of Fedora 9 and the community spirit that
powers it.
* We have about 2,000 contributors throughout the Fedora Project, 75% of
them volunteers, and they're actively involved in every part of Fedora,
from creating stunning digital artwork, like the disc sleeves created by
volunteer contributor Ryan Lerch, to translating software and
documentation into dozens of languages.
* The Fedora Localization (L10N) Project now has its own elected
steering group of community members to bring together the work of
hundreds of translators. Our translation teams now have the power to
join together upstream and downstream forces using the nexus of
Transifex, a powerful web-based translation system (originally conceived
and written by volunteer contributor Dimitris Glezos) that makes it easy
for anyone to contribute translations to Fedora or any of countless
upstream software projects.
* We have the ability to form communities of development around any
conceivable area in which Fedora is useful. We have a team that
produced KDE 4 for release in Fedora 9, powered by volunteers such as
Rex Dieter, Sebastien Vahl, and Kevin Kofler, and partnered with Red Hat
engineers like Than Ngo; a renewed bug triage team led by volunteer Jon
Stanley; and even a new Robotics SIG for pushing new frontiers of
science, mechanics, and engineering.
* Fedora 8 (Werewolf) has racked up over 2.25 million users in a half
a year, and shipped more torrents than any previous release of Fedora --
in fact, 35% more torrents than the previous release, Fedora 7
(Moonshine).
* It's now easier to join Fedora than ever, with a click-through
account system that's as simple to use as any social networking site.
And soon all our Fedora web applications will use the same account so
you'll have access to a huge array of capabilities through a single
sign-on. Go to http://join.fedoraproject.org/ and check it out!
* With a little bandwidth and hard disk space, an hour or two of spare
time, and a couple of commands, anyone in the world can produce a
working CD or DVD installation set, or create a runnable Fedora system
on a Live disc or USB key. In Fedora, The Remix Rules. You can even
create a Live USB key in Windows, thanks to Fedora coder Luke Macken!
And in the coming months we'll have exciting new ways for you to share
those remixes with others....
* The Fedora Project Board now has evolved from a fully appointed group
to a majority of community-elected seats, where the members come from
all parts of the Fedora Project and work on community empowerment and
general policy issues.
* Our Websites and Infrastructure teams have completely restructured the
way we do business daily, turning out exciting and powerful web
applications with increasing speed and consistency. Over time, I expect
Fedora will become the blueprint for open source projects, from garage
hobbies to global concerns.
* * *
It's hard to believe all of the amazing new features in Fedora 9 came
together so quickly. Thanks to the tireless work of hundreds of FOSS
developers, and the watchful eye of our Feature Wrangler, John Poelstra,
we were able to get a huge number of cool, shiny things into the
distribution.
LiveUSB, PackageKit, PolicyKit, FreeIPA, easy partition resizing,
one-click encryption, RandR support and a faster X, TeXLive, Firefox 3,
GVFS, ext4, GCC 4.3, and so much more.... There are far too many
improvements to list them all, but certainly even to the naked eye there
are worlds of difference between our present and our past -- and the
change is overwhelmingly for the better! Go check out the full list
at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList on the wiki.
All of this work is done with our constant, unwavering commitment to
upstream -- making sure that the Fedora Project always donates back to
the source from which we draw. When we find opportunities for
improvement, we share that with our upstream contributors to make sure
that all open source participants benefit.
By being good citizens of the free and open source software community,
we ensure the health and progression of thousands of projects that make
the Fedora distribution a vehicle for advancing freedom. You can read
more about this philosophy at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WhyUpstream on the
Fedora wiki.
And always, we continue to use our own work for everything we do. We
push the improvements and results out as 100% free and open source,
available for everyone to use, poke, prod, and build upon.
That's why Fedora is so much more than a Linux distribution. It's a
mindset -- "Doing The Right Thing," as we like to say. Giving credit
where credit is due, and working hand-in-hand with others, but not being
afraid to stand apart when doing otherwise means sacrificing hard-won
ground.
But most importantly, Fedora is a community, where people come together
for a common good -- making it possible for every human being,
everywhere to have the same access to information, communication,
standards, and knowledge.
* * *
In six months, around the beginning of November, you'll see Fedora 10 --
and over the next few weeks you'll start hearing more about what that
release will bring. I urge you, if you're still on the fence about
getting involved, to visit http://join.fedoraproject.org/ and create an
account. Introduce yourself to people. Keep your eyes, ears, heart,
and mind open. And prepare yourself for an exciting journey!
I started in the Fedora Project as a volunteer, with wide eyes, a
willingness to learn, and a love for free and open source ideas. Four
and a half years later, I still can't quite believe that I get to spend
all day on what used to be one of my hobbies. The ONLY reason I'm here
is because of the remarkable people in the Fedora community, and the
good things you do every day to make this world a better place.
Congratulations to everyone who worked on the release of Sulphur!

Rawhide moving on to Fedora 10
by Jesse Keating
In preparation of the Fedora 9 release tomorrow, we've flipped the
configuration bit that will allow "rawhide" to be composed from Fedora
10 content tomorrow. This will likely fail in spectacular ways due to
all the pent up builds so it should be interesting.
Those of you that have installed rawhide starting from Fedora 9 Preview
or later, or have updated yourself to rawhide at any point post Preview,
your default yum configuration will have you set for staying on Fedora
9. If you've modified your config files you may not have picked up this
change and will want to verify what repos are enabled before you get hit
with a lot of Fedora 10 packages.
The updates repos for Fedora 9 are currently empty, but I'm working on
an updates push that will populate the updates and updates-testing with
some 0-day updates that have been prepared. Theoretically these updates
will hit mirrors sometime tonight.
Keep all body parts inside the cart at all times. Buckle up and enjoy
the ride!

Reminder about upcoming FUDCons
by Max Spevack
I wanted to take a moment to remind our community about the 3 FUDCons
that are coming up in the next few months, and encourage people to sign
up and attend.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon
May 30 -- a mini-FUDCon Berlin 2008, which takes place as a part of
LinuxTag. LinuxTag itself runs from May 28 - May 31, and Fedora will
have a strong presence there each day.
June 19-21 -- FUDCon Boston 2008, which will take place in conjunction
with the Red Hat Summit. Please sign up on our wiki (follow the link
above). This will be a 3 day event with hackfests, presentations,
tutorials, etc. FUDCon Boston is 100% free to attend for anyone in the
world.
September 2008 -- Still in the early planning phases, but we plan to
hold a multi-day FUDCon in Prague sometime in September. Follow the
link on the wiki if you would like to sign up and express your interest
in attending. FUDCon Prague is 100% free to attend for anyone in the
world.
I look forward to meeting some new members of our community at these
events!
