Fedora test days are events where anyone can help make sure changes in Fedora work well in an upcoming release. Fedora community members often participate, and the public is welcome at these events. If you’ve never contributed to Fedora before, this is a perfect way to get started. On Wednesday, March 10, we’ll test Fedora IoT.
Continue readingAs usual, the Fedora Council held an annual strategy meeting last month. And as usual for 2020, we had to conduct it virtually. Instead of meeting somewhere in person for a few packed days, we decided to split it into several half days over a few weeks. Ben Cotton, the apparently untiring Fedora Program Manager (FPgM), already published the minutes through Zodbot. In this post, I’ll cover some of the discussion in more detail.

Continue readingEvery year in the days before Flock, the Fedora Council holds a face-to-face meeting. We had expected to do this in Detroit this year, but… you know… COVID. Instead, we held a virtual face-to-face over two half-days. Unlike in past meetings, there was little Big New Idea discussion to have. Instead, this meeting focused on catching up on work in progress. Minutes are available in the Zodbot archives.

The Fedora Ambassadors gathered statistical feedback from attendees and distributed swag items during SCaLE’s four-day expo.
Fedora Internet of Things is a variant of Fedora focused on IoT ecosystems. This month I had the opportunity to focus on the Fedora IoT Documentation with the working group as a part advancing their objectives.
I began by expanding the “Getting Started” section to help people do as the title indicates: get started. This section is focused on getting the images downloaded and a device up and running with an initial user. The steps are detailed enough to help those that are also new to Fedora distributions.
Next I reorganized some of the remaining initial content into a “User Guide” section. This section covers topics thought of as the “next steps” in using the Fedora IoT images. I detailed the steps for managing updates with rpm-ostree and switching between development and stable builds. I also added examples for layered packages, adding repositories, and even running containers. Finally I provided some pointers for other administration tasks with links to existing Fedora Documentation.
Design ideas: My focus was on technical content. The basic layout is dictated by the Fedora Docs project but a bit of design work on the welcome page and the addition of any IoT specific logos would be nice. Also, there are a few screenshots that could use a pointer or box to highlight the area described in the text.
Verify links for downloads and upgrades: The working group now has regular updated images available in a CDN and the next downloadable image is in progress along with the final version of the landing page for downloads. Once the update and release schedule process is smoothed out, the documentation needs to be verified.
Get ready for F30: When Fedora 30 is ready, the site will need some Release Notes and the User Guide will need some updates to cover new features. You can submit suggestions as iot-docs issues in pagure.
A lot of progress was made this month and I learned more about asciidoc, ostree, and my Pi device. Also that my fingers are too big for microSD cards!

Feedback is welcome — just let us know with an iot-docs issue or through any of the methods mentioned on the welcome page!
On 18 October 2016, we organized a workshop at the CMR Institute of Technology in Bengaluru, India. In the workshop, we covered topics of free and open source software (FOSS), Fedora, and git. Before talking about the event, I would like to thank a few people whose presence made this event a huge success. I would like to thank
