FUDCon Blacksburg subsidies announcement, and general planning update.

2011-11-21 Thread Robyn Bergeron
Greetings everyone,

A few updates on the upcoming FUDCon in Blacksburg, VA in January 2012:

* We will be having our second subsidy meeting on Wednesday, November 
23rd.  This meeting will be for evaluating and processing any available 
subsidy monies for international attendees, as well as processing any 
new North America-based subsidy requests.  If you are requesting a 
subsidy, please ensure that your Trac ticket for requesting subsidies is 
complete, particularly and especially with detail to what you plan to 
accomplish / do while at FUDCon.  With more than ten international 
requests, and limited funding, it is especially important for the people 
attending the meeting to have a clear picture of your plans in order to 
make a decision on funding.

The subsidy meeting is open for anyone to attend.  Please feel free to 
participate, especially if you have requested funding, so that we may 
ask questions and get answers in a timely manner.  The meeting occurs 
this Wednesday (during the normal FUDCon planning meeting time) at 17:00 
UTC in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net (9am Pacific, Noon Eastern).

For more information on applying for a subsidy, please read 
https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest

* Pre-registration for FUDCon is open. If you are planning to attend, 
please visit the event wiki page at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012 to add your name to 
the registration list.

until December 28, 2011. Details on booking your room can be seen here: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012#Lodging_.2F_Hotel

* As always, your participation is welcomed, and your help is 
appreciated.  Signing up on the fudcon-planning mailing list is a great 
way to find out how you can help, and to get more details about FUDCon 
as the event draws near.  Sign up at

fedorahosted.org: Call for RHEL6 testing

2011-11-21 Thread Kevin Fenzi
Greetings. 

As we recently announced, we are working on migrating fedorahosted.org
over to a newer instance or instances. We announced and held a activity
day:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-November/000857.html

Which resulted in the following plans: 
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2011-November/011140.html

Per those plans, we have setup a RHEL6 test instance of
fedorahosted.org and would like to ask people to test against it for
issues or problems. 

How to test: 

edit your local /etc/hosts file and add: 

66.135.62.191   fedorahosted.org git.fedorahosted.org svn.fedorahosted.org 
hg.fedorahosted.org

Then your requests will go against the new instance. 
Simply use trac, your scm and anything else as normal and note any
issues or problems. If you have any non standard trac plugins, please do
test them. 

Email is disabled on this instance: Lists will not work and any changes you 
make that would normally generate an email will not do so. 

Also, note that this is a test copy of fedorahosted.org data. From time to time
we will remigrate the data and convert it over, causing any changes you 
made to be LOST. Do remember to change your /etc/hosts entry back 
to commit real changes to your projects. 

If you could collect results and mail them to this list
(infrastructure) that would be best for now. 

Please do remember to remove the /etc/hosts entry when you are going to
go back to the live/production instance. 

Please send feedback to infrastruct...@lists.fedoraproject.org or reply to
me directly.

Thanks in advance for any testing.
