Friday Fedora Web Dev Clinic

February 25, 2016 / Justin W. Flory / Comments Off

This post was originally shared on Ralph Bean’s personal blog.

After talking with mleonova at devconf the other week, we got the idea in our heads to hold a weekly “web dev clinic” over video chat for the #fedora-apps crew. It will be a video chat lasting ~1 hour, once a week where, if you’re working on Fedora web apps or websites, you can come and either get help on a problem you’re facing, or show off your work, or both.

Web Dev Clinic Time

We’re going to try for a first meeting this coming Friday at 15:00 UTC in this video channel. We’ll run it a few weeks in a row and see how it goes.. maybe continue indefinitely?

Announcing IndiaHacks 2016

IndiaHacks 2016, HackerEarth’s annual flagship event, aims to be the largest global gathering of developers. The event comprises of a series of hackathons and algorithmic challenges across nine different tracks.

Open Source is one of the tracks and aims to encourage open source contributions to various participating organizations. The track follows a model similar to Hacktoberfest, where contributions are measured by accepted pull requests and commits to open source software projects.

System CA certificate trust management review and planning meeting at DevConf

DevConf Fedora badge - System CA certificate trust management planning at DevConf 2016

System CA certificate trust management review and planning will happen at DevConf 2016 this year

The current system CA certificate trust store management tool as implemented by p11-kit supports only limited number of use-cases. We are trying to gather information from various people administering and developing for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux on how it could be improved.

For this purpose we want to arrange an informal session during DevConf at Brno where we would discuss the current state of the implementation and gather input in the form of use-cases. These use-cases would be interesting to support with future development of p11-kit and additional tools.

Christmas is coming, so we cut a new release of the Fedora Developer Portal for you. We have a few new tools, a new member to our development team, and a new staging instance to test future updates of the Developer Portal before deploying them. Continue reading

Heroes of Fedora (HoF) – F23 Alpha

December 12, 2015 / adamwill / 2 Comments

Heroes of Fedora is back. First, we’re looking at Fedora 23 Alpha.

Fedora 23 was released recently, and as is now traditional, it’s time we celebrate all the fine folks who contributed to testing with Heroes of Fedora! Heroes of Fedora (HoF) features some exciting statistics analyzing major areas of contributions. Your regular host Roshi is busy at the moment, so I’m standing in.

As usual we’ll be looking at three major areas of contribution: updates testing, release validation, and bug reports, across the three release milestones – Alpha, Beta, and Final. In this post we’ll be covering Alpha. In the last post, we’ll also see numbers from the Fedora 23 Test Days. There are other important areas QA covers, so these posts don’t necessarily include everyone who helped out, but they’re the areas we can easily generate statistics for.

First update for Fedora Developer Portal

Developer Portal updates

First update of what? If you haven’t notice it yet, we announced a new developer portal for Fedora some time ago. Today I released a first update with some new contributions that landed on our GitHub after the announcement. So what’s new?

With the help of the Fedora community we were able to merge two new language sections: Haskell and Mono. That means we are already covering the basics for ~11 language runtimes and compilers!

Apart from that this is mainly bugfix release fixing many typos, but some improvements are merged as well. One of those changes is for example suggesting using libvirt’s Polkit rules instead of those shipped by vagrant-libvirt-doc sub-package when configuring password-less access to libvirt domains via Vagrant.

Some of the pending contributions did not make it for this release, but the next ones might happen more often. Big thank you goes to all our new contributors! And if you haven’t submitted anything yet, perhaps now’s the time. 🙂

Python 3 Porting FAD: “We’ve done a lot of things…”

The Awesome

The Python 3 Porting Fedora Activity Day wrapped up this Sunday. In the span of ~48 hours and three continents, we’ve done a lot of things:

32 people had made 126 commits to the portingdb, with 3,803 additions and 3,226 deletions, making the portingdb more useful for everyone.
We’ve filled numerous bugs for Fedora packages that lack Python 3 support, providing an updated .spec file for 9 of them.
Best of all, 7 upstreams received Python 3 compatibility patches!

This all with the help of people from around the world, from all sorts of distros, cooperating on-line and off.

I’d like to thank frafra, michel-slm, fujimotos, michaeleekk, rodrigc, barracks510, fitoria, rupe120, decause, sayanchowdhury, Richard Sarkis, Sebastian Dyroff, Fale, dperson, fabaff, Riamse, carlwgeorge, MSK61, jflory7, mayorgatellez, staranjeet, QuLogic, hroncok, booxter, tyll, pigjuliux, williamjmorenor for making this awesome, and abadger, threebean and encukou for handling all the awesomeness. 🙂

What’s next?

One thing is for sure, this isn’t the last Python 3 Porting day! It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve learned a lot, so we would like to have another P3P Day in a month or two. Be sure to tweet at me, or join the #fedora-python channel on Freenode, if you have any suggestion on how to make it even better than it was. 🙂

Help port Python packages to Python 3

November 13, 2015 / Justin W. Flory / 6 Comments

This upcoming weekend, a group of Fedora developers are convening for the Python 3 Fedora Activity Day (FAD) to make more progress on porting Python 2 packages to Python 3. If you want to lend a hand, jump into the #fedora-python IRC channel on Freenode between [localize_time tz=”EST”]8am Nov. 14, 2015[/localize_time] and [localize_time tz=”EST”]8pm Nov. 15, 2015[/localize_time] and introduce yourself.

The Python 3 FAD is part of a larger initiative started two years ago to make Python 3 the default implementation in Fedora. Great progress has already been made, but there is still much work to do – only 32% of Python packages in Fedora are ported to Python 3. As a result, this weekend’s Python 3 Fedora Activity Day aims to accomplish improving those numbers by porting over more Python 2 software to Python 3.

Parselmouth badge, while supplies last!

Not only is this is a great opportunity to make an impact on the software that the community uses every day, but it’s also a chance to gain one of the more rare and exclusive Fedora badges, Parselmouth! To help show how you can help, Fedora Python maintainer Matej Stuchlik answered some of the Community Operations team’s questions.
