It could be built upon to create different front ends for other user groups as well. Developing it in Python will not be a problem. I am just in the beginning design stage atm. Steven = Steven M.

Re: Wan't to join and why
What I am looking to do now is create a very simplified bugzilla interface that can be used by OLPC users, mostly children, to report issues with Sugar Activities in Fedora. Will develop in PHP and would like to develop and test it on one of the publictest servers. I am ignorant of much of the context surrounding this, but it seems to me that this may be... (1) technically an upstream-in-bugzilla project, perhaps (2) potentially awesome for getting feedback from fedora users (provide a better on-ramp for participation - though I don't know all the ways we're getting user feedback now, and how effective current methods are at turning users into contributors). This would be if the interface is generalizable to "simplified bugzilla interface" and is customizable for audiences beyond OLPC-using children. If #2, might be handy to deploy for Fedora in general as well (so long as we can think of ways to make sure the feedback/brainstorms actually get filtered into actionableness, and that the folks who submit that feedback are encouraged to take those actions.) These are side musings, though. --Mel ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

We haven't had development of known-non-Fedora stuff done previously but this might be a valid first case. If it's intended to run on Fedora Infrastructure, we very much prefer developing them in python. In fact, I don't think we have any non-python developed stuff. -Toshio signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
Wan't to join and why
Hi guys and gals, I am looking to join both the sysadmin-test and sysadmin-cvs groups. Why you might ask? Well I'll tell you. I wan't to get more involved in Fedora. Here is my current Fedora resume... - BugZapper for both KDE and Packagekit. - Maintain 20+ packages and am a Sponsor in the packaging group. - Work closely with the OLPC and Sugar folks at getting and maintaining the packages in Fedora - Responsible for creating builds of F11 with Sugar specifically for the OLPC XO-1 (Hope to get an XO-1.5 soon) see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1 for info on this. What I am looking to do now is create a very simplified bugzilla interface that can be used by OLPC users, mostly children, to report issues with Sugar Activities in Fedora. Will develop in PHP and would like to develop and test it on one of the publictest servers. Also would like to help maintain the cvs servers and projects contained there.
