Mailing List Migrations: Hyperkitty, Mailman3

Hyperkitty is here

The Fedora Engineering team has been working on a new system for our mailing lists. Mailman 3 came out earlier this year and it has a new shiny web UI: Hyperkitty.

The Fedora Hosted lists will be migrated on November 16th, and the Fedora Project lists later in the week. After migration you should be able to use the new Hyperkitty UI to post and read the lists if you choose or continue to get emails in the traditional way.

Changes in headers and other features

There may be some changes in some headers, so if you filter your list emails be ready to adjust your filters. See wiki page below for details:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman3_Migration

Some lists using mailman2 features not yet available in mailman3 will be migrated later. More information as well as current lists migrated, being migrated and deferred for migration can be found at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman3_Migration/Status

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Infrastructure list.

If you find a problem or issue, please file a Fedora Infrastructure ticket and we will work to fix things for your case or bug.

Regards,
— The Fedora Infrastructure team

FOSDEM 2016 Distro Devroom: Call for Participation

December 8, 2015 / Remy DeCausemaker / Comments Off

FOSDEM 2016 – Distributions Devroom Call for Participation

The FOSDEM Distro Devroom will take place 30 & 31 January, 2016 at FOSDEM, in room K.4.201 at Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels, Belgium.

As Linux distributions converge on similar tools, the problem space overlapping different distributions is growing. This standardization across the distributions presents an opportunity to develop generic solutions to the problems of aggregating, building, and maintaining the pieces that go into a distribution.

We welcome submissions targeted at developers interested in issues unique to
distributions, especially in the following topics:

Cross-distribution collaboration issues, eg: content distribution and documentation
Vendor relationships (eg. cloud providers, non-commodity hardware vendors etc )
Future of distributions, emerging trends, evolving user demands of a platform
User experience management ( onboarding new users, facilitating technical growth, user to contribution transitions etc )
Building trust and code relationships with the upstream components of a distribution
Solving problems like package and content management (rpm/dpkg/ostree/coreos)
Contributor resource management, centralised trust management, key trust etc
Integration technologies like installers, deployment facilitation ( eg. cloud contextualisation )

Submissions may be in the form of 30-55 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions or lightning talks.

Dates

Submission Deadline: 10th Dec 2015
Acceptance Notification: 15th Dec 2015
Final Schedule Posted: 17th Dec 2015

Flock 2016 is coming! Flock is the annual Fedora contributor conference held every year.

Last call for Flock 2016 bids

November 24, 2015 / Remy DeCausemaker / Comments Off

Flock 2016 bids needed – submit now!

Flock 2016 planning is in progress! Flock is the annual conference for Fedora contributors to come together, discuss new ideas, work to make those ideas a reality, and continue to promote the foundations of the Fedora Community: Freedom, Friends, Features, and First.

Each year, project leadership works with community members who submit bids to bring Flock to their city. Flock alternates between a North American venue and an European venue each year. More Europe proposals are needed soon for next year’s event. So far, there are two bids in France, but for budget reasons, it does not seem like they will be possible. There is another bid in progress for Vienna, Austria.

It’s not too late to get a proposal in for another city! You can also look at the winning proposal for the city that hosted Flock 2015. If you want to send in a bid, two important things to focus on are cost and convenience. One popular feature of the 2015 site was that the hotel and convention center were in the same building. This would be a major boost to any 2016 bid.

If you are interested in bringing Flock 2016 to your city, you can find information on that process on the Fedora Wiki.

Send any questions to flock-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org, the official mailing list for all planning and coordination for organizing Flock every year.
