 So I'm told I'm supposed to use the microphone because apparently No, no, I'm good. I'm good Apparently our camera is very hard of hearing though, and if I don't talk into the microphone the camera can't hear me so How was flock? That's what we like to see So this year the council Put directions on flock that said we want this to be more do-oriented Whether that's writing coding hacking planning strategizing or literally just sitting down with somebody for a couple of hours to unblock things We wanted to see the project try to move forward incrementally. I mean, we're not necessarily going to take any binding decisions We don't necessarily expect production code to have come out of this event But I think that in all of these sessions many of them several hours long We've actually accomplished a whole lot. I know in the sessions that I was able to attend so much got done And in fact, I might tell you about some of it Because we're gonna do readouts now Which is a fancy term that Josh Boyer introduced me to and then he proceeded to not come to flock So he's not here to explain it No, and we really do miss that he's not here But the general idea is on the first day we all stood up and we said to everybody what we hoped to accomplish And it gave us all an opportunity to find out about parts of the project We might not know about or keep up with and now in the last day We'd like people to stand up and tell us what we did accomplish Where are we going? What are our next steps? Because it'll give us an opportunity to figure out what we want to keep a closer eye on that We might not have noticed before or how things are going to intersect in the future so that we can be better prepared and plan So with that in mind we look forward to seeing all of you up here We all of you You say but but in the spirit of good leadership Matthew Miller is going to lead by example and be first so Matthew Miller My primary recap is this slide which is updated version of one for my talk where I had said that the rolling average Hadn't crossed over the line look now you can see that the green line is over the blue line. So yay Everything did not crash and burn I feel like I spent a lot of this conference That's what's described to me going around to people and collecting little fires and putting them into a basket So I have a big basket of fires that I'm carrying that I'm going to make an awesome fire tornado out of Really, I think we've got a lot going on things are scary But I think we've made a lot of progress on a lot of those things and a lot of the things that felt like they were raging Brush fires before we at least have plans to handle So I think this has been very productive even if we're doing flock during what feels like hard times for fedora So that was great. I'm feeling optimistic about things I think we're gonna have a really nice release maybe a little bit later than the schedule planned because we still don't have a compose today But I think yet another thing that was broken is now fixed. So Steps forward. We'll see how that goes. I really want to thank our sponsors Red Hat and rel Open Sousa and Capital One for making this possible. That is very important The local team who helped organize The local team who helped organize this location that's solely in Moe and Dave control and David control. Sorry Dave And also the people who helped run the event here Brian and Jen and Jenny And spot that obviously everything would have fallen apart without that Steve Gallagher doing logistics and everybody who volunteered for video Thank you very much So there's my recap. Who wants to recap their session next? All right, Steve. Awesome. Thank you So I'm not specifically recapping my session. I'm effectively recapping a series of hallway conversations that came out of of that session so I Gave a talk on ways that we can that can pull some things out of rpm scriptlets to Make with a specific goal of making virtual machines and and container images in which generation more robust and What I found when I came to the conference. I went through a talk Okay, I have a question. What is an rpm scriptlet? so rpms are these magical things that put software on your fedora system and they have Scriptlets which are basically little pieces of arbitrary code that rpm can execute when it's installing or uninstalling or updating Yes, arbitrary code. Yes, this is a problem We're trying to find ways to pull that out make it to make sure that it's operating and under se linux and things like that And what I found was that there there is another team The welder team that has been focusing a little bit on some of this as well And so now I have a set of a set of research that they've done to work with and we'll be working closely together in the coming months so I think We are on track for trying to get rid of our scriptlets more or less entirely over the next couple of years so that's that's a Good progress Thank you Who else would like to? Give a readout Bueller Ah dusty So the session that I did was not quite a working session. It was more of a Let's teach people about a new thing that we have called atomic host So basically had people come in I gave a little bit of a spiel about what atomic host is why it's different And then I basically had people run, you know about an hour and a half worth of lab material on their local system Or in a cloud system or whatever To learn about all the features of atomic host I think we had a lot of good Good learning experiences that in there a lot of people ask questions a lot of people really enjoyed the lab But I'm also here to pitch it to you as well Because you can actually execute this lab on the airplane on the way home You can do it completely offline and on your laptop so If you're interested you can grab some files for me or you can download them from the internet and Go to my website It's actually a develop version of the website because I haven't fully posted the full lab on my Production version, but if you go to develop dusty maib calm You can see all the lab sections there And if you pull them up on your computer before you get on the plane you can actually execute it on the plane So if you're looking for something to do in a completely offline setting try it out But yeah, we had a lot of good people that Learned and had a lot of people that said that they unfortunately couldn't make it to the session But also we're interested so if you couldn't make it try it out So again, not kind of covering any individual session per se But kind of modularity in general We had a lot of really good feedback like really useful feedback some of it actually good some of it just useful During the feedback sessions I think we learned a bit about how to run those a little better, which is cool And we've been talking to Mary and and I think we're going to talk to other kind of the UX people in Fedora land and see if we can make this more of a regular thing where we're kind of rotating Maybe UX testing so that people can try stuff out and give us in-person feedback on not just modularity But other stuff which I think would be cool Bunch of interesting things we learned You know some people preferred some of the ways that boltron worked over the way the new implementation works So that was interesting Pointed out a large number of bugs some of which actually even got fixed this week, which is super awesome So I think that was that was really really useful So I really appreciate anybody who came to the feedback session and and gave us feedback So that was nice. We had kind of our You know kind of long form modularity talk, you know from two o'clock till what six or something yesterday So I thought the block worked. Well, I thought that was interesting I think we didn't do enough offline preparedness, you know dusty You know props to you and to our other summit talks that we've done before For making sure everything works offline That's it's really hard But it can be really useful at conferences. So I think we know better for next time On the flip side, I think we got you know, we had a good attendance and we had a lot of good discussion Not only during kind of the talk that we had but then also we kind of had a panel session in the middle And I thought we had a look a bunch of good feedback there So that was that was useful and we really like to see that kind of move forward and I think it prompted a lot of Thinking at least if not some actual progress on various aspects modularity That's about it and obviously a hallway track is always useful But yeah, I think that was my readout Who's gonna go next? Are you standing up because you're going next to you're standing up because you're trying to escape Yeah Yeah, so we had a workshop that was trying to kickstart the next phase of the federal documentation project and By offering away a new approach that was both making documentation a bit leaner and also making it simpler for a new contributors to come along and Contribute to you know in smaller pieces and more approachable ones set of low hanging fruit and I believe that even though we had a very low attendance that was the low point of that We were able to sell the idea to those who came we actually got a bunch of pull requests out of the workshop as well and I think that we are in a really good path towards making Along with the new tooling making the documentation project Available thing again, which I think is pretty cool. So I Will call names Which actually has some of you wondering if I know your name? You can take the podium if you want or you can stand here if you would like Hi everyone so In I-18 and localization thing currently we are working on a system which actually trans track translations progress For the releases and we have a demo instance installed at trans stats dot XYZ so I would like to invite all of you there have a look there and Actually, we are seeking some feedback because we are getting things ready for federal 28. So Please do have a look. Thank you. It's trans stats dot XYZ Thank you Thank you. Good morning. All so in this flock I attended bunch of sessions on the quality engineering. So CI CD upstream first most of the things and in the Workshop by the Frederick I did a CI for low-heat Dev Nagari fonts So I already had a bunch of test cases and it's now there in the disk it and Other than that, I think we had lots of discussion on the localization side So I will give that John bup this may be update on that other than me from the IT inside Yeah, so we had a very good session yesterday and we had lots of discussions So I think we'll think for the few things for the coming before coming flock will have some more update on that Yeah, so most of the planning for the IT I went to a session on putting tests in a disk it and it was awesome. So I want to share with people There's a cool thing. How many people know that there we have a framework for running tests out of right out of disk it Okay, good like half the room the other half of the room. How many of you are packages? Okay, so cool We've got a thing that is not actually hooked up right now But will be soon where you can make a test directory right in disk it next to your spec file and put an Ansible playbook in there in a certain form and this is all documented and it is not hard And it's very very simple ansible. So if you've never used ansible before don't worry. It's like a simple The ammo file basically indented list of commands and it can run your tests and then tell you success or failure There's a little framework for doing that and that's going to be hooked up to run automatically for tests that relate to Atomic at first and then eventually to other things and it's going to significantly increase the quality of all the stuff in Fedora Which is very cool part one part two red hat is contributing thousands of tests for hundreds of different packages that were Previously secret red hat tests. Those are now going to be open-source Fedora tests Which I Yeah Thank You red hat and that will vastly increase the quality and stability of Fedora and obviously then Make that a better input for a rel in the future and other red hat things So it's the way things should work and I'm glad to see it happening. Okay. Sorry for taking a second turn But I just wanted to emphasize that it was so cool Anybody else who went to a session that wasn't their own session and found it exciting feel free to come up and tell about it That would also also be cool But I'm gonna go back to Brian calling names Should I call names? Oh Wow guilting without actually calling the name yawn. I apologize. I was really gonna make him come up here So I you will be next. I promise on the price is right, but first let's bring down our new contestant Because I've already told him I was gonna shame him publicly. Thank you, Brian and Yesterday I was very happy because three of my slides end up on the telegram canal so the slides saying that we had very Old-school car with no colors for great motors, but nothing else. I Really believe now that thanks to the zenata team We may at least have an update of our software. Maybe have some information in our cockpit to to Have some real management of the localization in Fedora. I really love what send it did with trans stats. That's XYZ I think it's going to really improve our process and at least seeing what what's happening and yesterday Thanks to Brian and thanks to David. I think we have a fully working documentation system that include translations So we have a French translation Check translation and Spanish translation the whole content works Including the hyperlink and the change language button. So this is something we were waiting for one year and a half So it's something that we did yesterday at one Thank you, Brian I'll be happy to show it to you after yon talks So I went to flock with some list of issues Which I mostly didn't understand why we have these issues and I wanted to talk to people To understand like what's the what's the problem and how we can deal with deal with it and I'm quite happy with the outcome because after the flock I Have or I solved most of the issues I came here with and For some issues we have at least some plan how to move on So I learned a lot especially about the things how different teams communicate how they work together Why sometimes they are stuck with with something waiting for for some other people So I learned a lot and thank you all I was I was talking to because it helped me to understand how things work in the community Do you all want to see this that we worked on last night at 1 30 in the morning? All right Let's see Yeah, it's broken. That's awesome Like everybody just gave me a different method like seriously All right, can everybody see this good, okay So a little bit of background I should probably move this for the deaf mic camera thing So we've learned that both Adam and the camera are hard of hearing Um No, uh, all right So we had a soft launch of the new Docs website last week Mostly because fedora infra is amazing and we opened a ticket figuring that we'd need to go some back and forth And the first comment in the ticket was done. So that was unexpectedly awesome So if you've gone to the new Docs site, you've seen something looks a whole lot like this So last night until about 1 30 in the morning Jean Baptiste Sunky I should say and I We sat down and we pretended we translated a page in the install guide and we figured out how to get it working This is not on Docs stage yet. It will be on Docs stage eventually under the raw hide Docs We are not gonna mess with f26 Because we don't want to like hurt people who are actually trying to be users of fedora But what we have done is we have actually managed to get the language selector working huh You actually want to see the languages? That was a little too much. Is that good? That's what you get Hey, if you're sitting in the back of room, I got I got nothing but sympathy for you So we now have a little language selector that's specific to the languages that we've played with I'm not actually sure what Spanish didn't make the list. I think we were just tired So I apologize to those of you who do speak Spanish But we can flip to French for example and look it's in French See this is French. I'm told this is French It looks like things that were spoken when I was a child And we also have something that is in check and this so looks like where I live like seriously I go to this store every day They have the best role lake in town So it looks very minor and very small but to actually get this working. We've had to interface with Zanada We have had to figure out how to convince ASCII binder that languages exist and that it should consider them when building We have a couple of issues We'd love people to come and help us with if you're interested The first one is that everything is driven by bash scripts that were written at 1 30 in the morning. I Think you can see where that one's going. So I'll just leave that there and the second one is We have figured out a process for translating the menus because you'll notice these aren't in check And everything after the second paragraph isn't either But we don't have that working yet. So we know what we need to do We just haven't gotten that quite done yet So that's going to be our next goal is to get the menus translatable so that we can actually roll these sites And this will also give us a platform upon which to help the translation teams re-energize and And increase their contributions to fedora as well The last thing that I will do is publicly call out Matthew and I Because One of the ways that we're going to help translations is by helping them get a new instance of zanada There's been a lot of challenges with upgrading zanada in the past And so Matthew and I are going to put our backs in this and you you've said this publicly in the hallway So I'm just repeating Open shift We're actually going to work very hard with the zanada develop team and with the various infra and IT teams To get an instance of zanada running that we can have a more reliable upgrade process That's not reliant on people having spare time, but it's kind of built into their workflow process So that should get us new features, which will be all of the things that enable what John Baptiste was saying Who's next like seriously who's next? Jared Would you like to be on the magic stage or there? All right So in the spirit of flock being a do con and not just a top con Based on a hallway conversation earlier this week. I was having with Peter Robinson. I took some time yesterday afternoon to dive into the wonderful world of templates on media wiki and Fixed up a new arm SOC template So it's easy for us to better document all the different arm Systems on a chip that we're trying to document there. So a couple hours at work, but it's nice And Adam taught me what I didn't know about templates and now he can forget about it me too Next everybody who talks gets a prize My undying love. Do you need a hand? Yeah, sure Oh This cable Was left in bash River last night. So if you can identify its color, we will give it to you Accident but all right. So, you know what this thing is because if you don't know, you know It's a federator and we built like 10 of these on Tuesday and they're the future of Fedora stalls and booths If you still haven't gotten your SD card from me see me after this session. Thank you What it does it flashes Fedora onto flash drives you plug one in you select the spin you want and it writes a bootable image onto the flash drive Very soon. That's on the arm guys Thank you Do we have a plan for how those parts go somewhere that isn't here. Yes, okay good I Had seen a box of parts and wanted to make sure it had a home Next you don't have to have a physical prop Laura Okay, so I helped guide the session on Fedora kernel processor view yesterday, and I think it was really really successful This is just a brief summary about what we talked about in the two hours Don't see from red hat presented some details about a new testing initiative that red hat is trying to do to help The Fedora kernel red hat is releasing tests and donating hardware and time in the hopes of Helping to improve Fedora kernel test coverage their The goal is to be able to run this all in a CI effort, which I'm sure everyone's been talking a lot about CI for Fedora as well So this is really beginning to tie the kernel into that as well So everyone was really enthusiastic about this idea props to Don and Everyone else for driving for driving this this led to some discussion about managing kernel Bugzilla is just because there are still only two foot or kernel maintainers versus a lot more Bugzilla so there are a lot of discussion about how can we continue to manage this and I think the conclusion is is that We really really value contributors who take the time to triage and report bugs and work with the upstream kernel to get those Fixed and basically be able to shepherd those along even if you can't fix bugs themselves We didn't necessarily get a good solution to this just because it's a hard problem, but I Think what we did conclude is is that additional CI testing should not increase the bugzilla load too much The hope is that we will still get valuable bug reports. Let's see We did spend some time also talking about the concept of test gating because with CI you get this concept of being able to gait tests and what exactly that will look like for the kernel It sounds like there will be some options coming soon to be able for the kernel to experiment with some level of CI test gating One of the big things that came out is someone came up with the idea of doing a kernel test day Like other things like that. So the Fedora kernel test day will be coming up sometime within the next Month or some time period shortly. So keep an eye out for that Finally, we did talk about Arbitrary branching and how that might apply to the kernel and I think the answer is for now that no the kernel is not going to do arbitrary branching just because there is still again only two maintainers and Not enough effort to be able to maintain all the branches And really for the kernel is that we'd prefer is to be able to fix the bugs such that there should be no need to Have an arbitrary during arbitrary branch and be stuck on a version for so long So once again, thanks for everybody who participated in this workshop and as always if you have any kernel questions Mailing list IRC. We're happy to hear them. Thanks All right, so outside of the usual hallway track and hopefully this is mirrored Oh, yeah, I mean it's the old the old question of how many engineers does it take to get a laptop hooked up to a projector? Usually All right, so other than you know the usual the always useful hallway track and talking a lot about CI and upstream first Finally got this running. This is a small app that runs that it shows the status of the upstream first initiative and the initial package list that we're tracking And it shows the number of ones that are complete the number of ones are complete In progress and the ones that have not started so we still have a long way to go But the upstream first initiative is the has been mentioned It is the push within red hat to upstream test cases the other thing This particular initiative is about test cases. I'm not and That's all I'm there the thing that this is tracking Maybe patches will come out of it, but for now it's just test cases The other thing that I got done this week was a sort of stopgap the The current CI system doesn't run tests on everything because they've limited their scope because for good reasons So I wrote a shim to get some of the new tests running on things that aren't covered by the CI system In our existing systems if that makes sense It's supposed to be it's a stopgap so that the the test can start running before the The new CI system is complete So, yeah, that's what I got word Thank you Hi everybody so seeing Laura speak made me think that I should tell people about outreach II One of the things that I was doing so my name is Marina and one of things that I was doing here Is I was talking to Brian and Laura and a meet and a diversity team about how we would participate in How Fedora would participate in outreach II in the next round? I co-organize outreach II it is a remote internships program for women non-binary people and trans people internationally and It's also open to people of all genders who are people of color in the United States Who are underrepresented from groups underrepresented in technology such as blacks and Latinas and We're gearing up for a new round The Applications are going to open in a week So we need project ideas from people if you want to mentor Mentorship commitment is about five hours a week in a course of the next six months first during the application period selection period And then there are three months remote internships From early December to early March We're going to make a call For mentors later But if you have an idea in mind or if you want to talk more about what type of a commitment this is Please talk to me or to Laura like while we're here or reach Email us and also there are flyers in the hallway And if you know anybody criteria for participants who whom you would like to see more involved in open source In Fedora, or there are like many other open source projects that participate Please encourage them to apply I'm next in I haven't even broken out my teachers there yet I feel your pain on that one Sir, I was hoping I could take the podium Melissa McCarthy style, but it doesn't seem like it has wheels So I'll stay down here The biggest thing I did this week I think was to reduce my bus factor dramatically By sitting down with some Antro who's on our team and teaching him a lot of the things that I do or starting to Teach him a lot of the things that I do That no one else knows how to do which was a great thing to get done The other cool thing we got done this week, which wasn't so much me But the kernel testing initiative Samantha ran a workshop on that and talked to Laura and we and Justin and we came up with a plan to Run kernel regression test days each time we're going to rebase the Fedora kernel so now instead of Having a kernel rebase come in and we kind of tested in Bode maybe we're gonna have a sort of process by which We make sure those kernel rebases go through some testing and don't break people's systems We hope and on the QA and relinch side We found an awful lot of new ways in which 27 and Rohai composers are broken I mean we gathered a lot of fire this week, which was great and then we gave it all to Matthew He's collecting the fire. So that was lots of fun stuff to you. Thank you So on the outreach side or more of the outreach non-technical teams in Fedora There was a lot of awesome things that were happening in different parts of the project But I think that you could sum this up Into a cumulative group with this mind-share initiative that Robbie duck is Mostly been working on and is the objective lead for which is kind of this idea of being the glue between all these different outreach oriented teams in Fedora, so I just really thought it was very insightful and Really exciting to see the work that's being prepared for the mind-share initiative And I think it's something that is definitely relevant for a lot of people I just want to give a shout-out to that session because for me it was extremely valuable On the other side We also had the Fedora marketing session on Wednesday Which we cover a lot of things that we know have been problems for a while And it's a limited group number of people so we tried to come up with this idea of what we want to try to knock out by the next release plus a few months up to 2018 and This ended up becoming two things that we wanted to try to do One of which is that we'd like to try to have a relationship with people who are doing work with the objectives like the objective leads in Marketing so that way when marketing goes to prepare the talking points that we create and ideally share with the ambassadors people Who are going to Fedora events and talking about Fedora and in especially in the context from like the keynote on Tuesday about trying to bring more people to specific Topic-oriented events that Fedora has a strong presence at it'd be very valuable for marketing to build talking points and Content for the people who are going out to represent Fedora And getting that feedback from the objective leads and people who are actively involved with those parts of the project would be very valuable So we just like to try to have a better relationship with the people working on the objectives and preferably the objective leads as well The other thing that started in this session and then kind of bled out to a few others was this kind of this idea of Data rot and the wiki so for marketing We have a lot of pages that will get I mean it's it's the wiki it's the sea of the wiki and things get lost and it's a lot of manual work that we're doing and there's probably a Better way that we could put things in different places and came up about the docs tool chain about some of the awesome work that's happening with ASCII doc and It had never occurred to us about moving Community contributor oriented content. That's not technical docs on Fedora, but community docs How to get on boarded into a team all these other things into the doc site proper? Which to me was like a realization that like hey like we've been trying to figure out how to Fix some of this data rot and all of this these problems of losing critical information or having it become outdated in the wiki I just felt like it was very it was very insightful for us to think about moving our Community-focused documentation out of the wiki and into a more static place in the docs and then maintaining it with git And then that was something that came up in the commops session and it came up in the mindshare session and the diversity Session and I just think it's something that for us. It was very valuable to start thinking about ways we could try to improve our our own Documentation for our team how we're trying to bring people into our sub project By making those things more easily accessible and visible and making sure that they don't disappear into the ocean of the wiki and They don't we're not giving people outdated information. So for marketing generally it was between those two things is we want to try to have a better relationship with the objective leads and the initiatives going on in Fedora as well as trying to migrate some of our Valuable content that we do use and maintain out of the wiki into the docs We also had the commops session on Tuesday, which was mostly focused on metrics and data So we split the first half of that trying to introduce people about How to get their head wrapped around some of these metrics tools we're using with Fed message and data grepper and how you can Actually use them for your own projects to do cool visualizations and data I think the TLDR for like the coolest part that came out of that So if you have an infrastructure environment, monitoring is really important, right? You're you always want to understand what's happening in your environment so you can try to do preventative work instead of reactionary work And so we have this huge pool of data in Fed message And there's not really an easy way to represent that and to work with that Unless you know the tooling very well, and so maybe you're familiar with things like Grafana or Grimoire So this was an idea that was worked. I don't see Satchin in here right now But so one of our commops team members Satchin Scameth He's working on moving or creating a grimoire dashboard Built off of some of the Fedora Fed message metrics that we're collecting so ideally We are going to have to ask people like if you want to use Fed message data for your project or if you want to understand what's happening there You don't have to learn all the tooling if you don't want to But by using something like a grimoire dashboard to create visualizations charts graphs pie charts things that you can easily see and understand and you don't have to know the entire stack to To know it as you can see I understand this in five seconds You don't have to write a script you don't have to build an application to do that analysis So like in that side of it that was really cool when this is something that we're trying to work on to ideally Implement and make accessible for other people in the project So you can actually if you're not ready to sit down and write a lot of code to Work with the Fed message stack This is one thing that we'd like to try to do to make it easier for other people in the Fedora community to understand What's happening in their own projects? Additionally that the second thing we mostly dove into in the commops session was about the Fedora classrooms Which is this idea we've been doing for the last few weeks If you might be familiar if you've been around for a while You might remember them as the IRC classrooms where people are teaching skills to Interested people in the Fedora community or to users So we started doing that again a few weeks ago And we had a like a video conference one on open source 101 and we had 75 people show up, which was like huge So what we wanted to do with that is we wanted to try to make it easier to actually Teach people skills relevant to contribute to Fedora projects So we ended up picking on Fedora hubs because we had Saying in the room and we were able to pick his brain on some of these things So like what we mostly tried to figure out was like prerequisites for things We'd like people who want it to participate in these classrooms to know Which is things like how to learn Python or how to learn get like some of these basic skills that if you Want to bring people into your into your app like you kind of got to have that knowledge up front on the Flipside we tried to identify some of the things that we thought we could try to teach people like some of especially some of the soft skills I think were really important like how to interact and communicate with a an upstream project like let's say Peugeur or Or Bodie or Fedora hubs like having that communication is still something. It's really important for Having someone get involved and contribute to your project communication is key so that was just kind of the The focus of like how we can actually try to take these classrooms that seem to be engaging really well with people outside of the Fedora community And try to enable them to actually get involved Contribute and do cool things in Fedora So like for now our test case is probably going to be Fedora hubs But ideally we would be very the classrooms team with the join sig would be very interested in feedback from other people Who would like to try to engage with that audience and try to bring more people Into your own project if you're doing something really cool in Fedora I Know I'm talking a lot, but I have one more on the Fedora magazine We also did that on Tuesday, which was that was a pretty straightforward session We have and for all these if you want to check out the commops notes these are hanging up on the projector to the left and the Fedora magazine ones are down here and I think that's all of mine But so for the magazine the other things that we were trying to work on and do we gave a quick introduction about How to write for the magazine and what kind of things we're looking for on the magazine a while ago We used to kind of have a mixed audience for what we were putting out on the magazine It wasn't really clearly focused on a group and one of things that we tried to emphasize the most in that session was on The magazine we're trying to reach out to the the user audience And what we what we found after we came up with we answer the questions Who are we trying to write for? What are we trying to do when we started doing that? We had significant improvement with how we were engaging with with with people it even now We're approaching for this year our goal is to hit three million views on the magazine for this year We just hit where we're coming up right on I think two million We were at one point nine five million a couple days ago So I think we might actually have just hit two million views for the magazine this year Which is really awesome because we this is a great like we've been steadily growing every year And it was a it was really exciting for us to get here so far and I think it's because of that We answered those questions. Who are we writing for? What are we trying to do? What is our purpose with that? So that's the kind of things that we want to have on the magazine and if it's user-oriented Content, especially if you're writing something like so doing really cool things in fedora like atomic or you're doing things with Modularity or other things that are really relevant to a fedora user audience We would love your content. We would love you to come and swing by the magazine so That was one side of it just trying to really establish that and then what we actually came out as a concrete action and Concrete items was just some starter pitches Kind of ideas that anyone who just wants to like to write for the magazine or you want to write for the magazine You don't really know what we have a few starter pitches that we have where you can just check out and see what we have ideas Why is and you can jump on something like some of these ideas were these what we call these listicle articles Which do really well if you were watching the magazine this last week You might have seen three cool ways to trigger out your terminal emulator These kind of things resonate really well with the target audience and they're really easy to write You write one paragraph or something and you drop a link somewhere else So that's something else that if you are actually are interested in writing for the magazine And you don't know where to start these starter pitches are something that we have for that And so one of the things that came out of that session was a significant amount of more easier articles to get started on So that was four sessions. I think that's everything Sorry to steal the mic for so long Next So after Matt's State of the Union Earlier in the week It was obvious that we had he actually pointed out that we have a problem with the way the search engine works in in the Marketplace and so we now have a Path moving forward to to change. Oh, sorry the Amazon marketplace so on AWS That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna turn this over so that the latest actually shows up on the top, so Yeah, absolutely, and then Spent so it's spent some great time with Laura in the do session on the kernel and We have some some more fun tests and some bigger communications coming in the in the future Next It's gonna steal it. Hey, I just so since we had a note about the marketplace The only thing I'm up here to say is Many people don't know that the Amazon partner team graciously donates a Good deal of service to us every month for doing testing of our cloud products and Some other various bits and bobs also of course providing mirror services inside s3 for Apple So I just wanted to say thank you to Amazon and specifically the Amazon partner team for doing that We're good. All right So a couple of things that I was involved with this week first off was a workshop Josh Berkess and I as representatives of the atomic working group put on a workshop of how to become a container maintainer For the layered image rebuild system. We did a really good example of a review that was currently Has been in waiting for a while and we were able to go through and apply the current Guidelines to it and actually go through kind of a formal review with everybody I think we got like probably about 18 people that paired up And and went through and created a container and then peer reviewed with with somebody else So we had people going through the process, which was great Nothing in the the infrastructure working group run by Kevin Fenzie I had an opportunity to speak with a few people about Our plans moving forward to bring flat pack and an OCI based images into the build cycle as well as a way to host That in our registry so that should probably be shaking out maybe later today during the hackfest or over the next couple of weeks We'll likely see that stuff land soon Also working on the container layered image itself Patrick and I Had an opportunity to sit down and kind of hack on some things and figure out a couple of a couple of bugs that were causing build failures And and so get that sorted out as well Just trying to try to work towards getting various Things for the atomic working group as well as the container layered image build system moving towards multi-architecture Hopefully have that that ready to go very soon So this is some additional atomic container stuff We had a doc writing session yesterday about writing docs for atomic host and Some Kubernetes and origin stuff as well that went pretty well if you want to join in on that effort in GitHub in the project atomic Organization, it's atomic dash host dash docs There's issues in there where We have an outline of the docs that we're trying to write and we have issues for each one and in each issue There are like source materials, so it's pretty easy to jump on there and find one and Some of the stuff is just a matter of kind of cutting and pasting things and getting it into shape And then we can review it and get those docs in place and then Adam mentioned the workshop about rubbing a container maintainer I was also involved in a talk about system containers which is Kind of a cool way to take a container But run it a little more like you're accustomed to running an rpm And there's a lot of flexibility in how you run it and what kind of permissions you give and can create a pretty easy experience for the for the user so There's documentation in the container guidelines about how to do that stuff and there's also the slides for the talk go into some detail and I also did a talk about Kubernetes and OpenShift origin on Fedora, there's a bunch of things to that kind of depending on how much we want that stack to be Fedora based There's packaging work to do There's testing work to do and there's containerization stuff and there's documentation like I mentioned also So for any of this stuff you can in free node go into the atomic room on IRC and just ping us dusty you can ping dusty or ping me Jason Brooks and Just you know get involved. There's plenty of stuff to be done. And this is a You keep hearing about atomic. This is kind of a cool hot, you know area right now In Fedora and more generally and it's a lot of fun to work on so I invite you all Next the longer you take the longer I dance So I was involved in leading two sessions one was with Patrick on the atomic workstation and In fact, we had a lot of good questions that talk a lot of interest in preparation for that talk we Updated the docs for how to set up a atomic workstation alongside your normal workstation install and going through that we found a they worked with calling on that and there was a lot of Workarounds or that will be very good bugs to fix in the future Then also had this session about flat packs I've been talking a lot to different people about how we go ahead and get the work there deployed and have a good plan with Adam and with Randy Barlow about how we're going to Move these pieces into the Fedora infrastructure and also had a really good conversation with a young kalooja about How we're gonna make fresh maker support of flat packs and that's something else we have to keep on working on Dennis Hey, I actually didn't give a talk for the first time ever and it was kind of an interesting experience to just participate and Take things in rather than try and you know provide a bunch of feedback But I did manage to fix Delta RPM creation for Fedora 26 updates Hopefully that'll make a bunch of users happy and I spent a lot of time talking to people about Changes that Going on that are involving like release engineering So I have about a list of a hundred odd things to add to the backlog of 300 odd things so there's going to be a lot of work that needs to be done and So you know people that want to see and affect change in how we ship and deliver Come and see me and Figure out how to get involved to make things better for everyone Next Adam then in B Also, I haven't heard from anybody in design or diversity and I remember we had a lot of sessions on both of those so Be warned Everyone I'm Adam. I was here for mainly for module arty and like I already spoke about it We got many good feedback that was pretty useful And I think what the most benefit was that we had many people from Bruno here meeting other people and that makes Any future work much easier if we know each other in person One session I did there was wasn't directly read to modularity was a discussion about splitting documentation from the code on package level and we spoke with mr. Tips and Yeah, we figured out how way how to do it in the package guidelines after recommendation To make the dependencies smaller that was pretty good and also I spoke to many people about to some people about how we Compose the distro in a modularity way. There are many things. We still need to think about And yeah, I've got many fires Some of them will go to Matthew some of them will be kept in my pocket. Would you just burn and yeah, we'll fix it and We'll do something pretty cool. Thanks so I Myself and Yona we did session on Fedora ambassadors the future and I believe we had a good discussion about What is ambassadors doing? What do we need to change? and Discuss different ideas and also I think some of that even continued a little in the hallway track David Kentrell and I were brainstorming and we were Talking about different things we could do at events Besides just I mean like at some of the events we've that I've been to it seems like every year We just set up a laptop and show off Fedora workstation or have the multi-image where people can choose different desktops and people don't really Look at it much and it's just people come by sometimes we'll help them with stuff, but we were talking about more interactive Options like David and I were talking about doing a Using the ham radio spin or lab or whatever they're called now To Demonstrate ham radio at a conference because like itself. I know they're it's a Linux conference, but there's a large amount of hams there so We can show off. Hey, this is what you can do. You can just download this spin and have ham radio programs and even We can even bring equipment and Show I may actually use ham radio at the conference Okay, ham radio is all is Also known as amateur radio You can talk you can talk to people all over the world and there is also data ways of transmitting data over radio or voice or Morse code Etc. Sorry, did you did you have another question or? No, oh, okay. Sorry, you're welcome and also another talk I went to that I really found interesting and I'm looking forward to when it gets finished is the Having fedora on the Windows subsystem for Linux I think that could even be a way of reaching out to people that use Windows and say well, you don't want to actually install fedora. Okay fine Run fedora on top of Windows Yes, it's not as good as running fedora, I mean on Just as your base operating system, but it may be a way of getting them to try Linux and then Maybe they'll decide. Hey, I like this. I want to actually try it. I think that's all I have to say next No For for the record Nick was thanked because he ran the ham radio licensing session and the GPG signing session and The signing tests with GPG keys for ham radio purposes session So yesterday we had a diversity session we In my in our mind We were thinking that we will come up with the events We wanted to do but other than that the list of the events We got very brilliant ideas like these events can be in collaboration with the local communities like women who code pilot is etc So also we did talk about the impact. How are we going to my other impact of these events? So the idea in the was discussed in the ambassadors Session as well. So the idea is to come up with certain set of questionnaire and answers so that that can be included in the event reports When we visit some place and we we can evaluate with the impact metrics that how fruitful it was Other than that we discussed about the budget so really nice of Bex who shared this thing that we need to plan about the budget and It's not limited. We are flexible about it. If there is something which is really Impactful and necessary for the Fedora to do We discussed about onboarding new people in diversity team and what which all steps we need Existing process, I would say is little lengthy process and not so simple So we we are we tried to make it more simpler and we succeeded in that we came up with a plan which will Soon we will update on wiki pages We discussed about the diversity advisor position Which is the diversity team representative in the council team Other than that we also discussed about the diversity survey, which we will be publishing But maybe by next year. So we discussed about the tooling we're gonna use How we analyze the results, etc. And we discuss about outreach Thanks, Marina for helping us out in this initiative here This initiative is where the diversity team is putting helping out with budget, etc. So everyone please There will be applications as Marina already said Please come up if you would like to mentor someone and Apply for the mentorship program In the outreach. So and there are the charts with the beautiful writing For the diversity team so you can read out if you need to know more. Thanks. Thanks for you. Oh Well, I was hoping that dancing was for you I Still don't know if I see many of our design people. I'm having trouble seeing in the dark though So I won't lie, but I'd love to know what happened with design and hubs Anyone Well, I wait on somebody to to be a victim Justin's comments reminded me of something We tested Also last night, but not before one third well before 1 30 in the morning the idea of doing a lift and shift of documentation out of the wiki and in 15 minutes, we were able to publish to the doc stage a Security guide component. So it's about how to use UB keys that came out of our wiki and is now more findable and durable So it really is an easy thing to do We probably could have done it in five minutes if we hadn't taken notes and made bad jokes the whole time But bad jokes and notes tend to drive Lennox. So we were cool Next person sweet run dancing my back hurts Hey, so Among the various thing that happened here at some point I I helped miss more Rebase her stuff on an eight-month long backlog of CSS changes and the project she was contributed to Contributed to and if you know me so, you know, she doesn't really like it And so I got her at the end of that I got her to say something like well This wasn't entirely horrible. So I'm pretty happy with that and that's all Dude, you keep walking around. I'm gonna make you come back up. Is there anybody left from IOT? I know we heard about the arm SOC documentation and unfortunately Peter had to catch an early flight today But is there anybody wants to talk about what we've talked about with regards to IOT? I am going to assume all of the things have left Sir sweet We welcome you back to the podium. There was a lot of IOT discussions most of it at the moment, there's no real concrete plans on Any of what we're actually going to deliver because there's so many things we could do and we just really need to focus it down and get a few Smaller things moving forward. Is there any specific questions on IOT that anyone had? Or just monitor general It's it's moving along the arm Side of it is going fairly well just and killing 32-bit kernel is not gonna help it So Justin no 32-bit x86 There's some IOT on x86, but most of it is on arm So it's kind of hand-in-hand the software stacks that are commonly used in IOT applications are very Convalidated and they bundle lots of things and like I personally run home assistant at home and It's all in Python. It's all open But it's written and set up in such a way that it doesn't fit into the traditional packaging model in Fedora at all and It you know you you really need to just run up from git and pull down the bits because of How they're doing it and it's easier for the developers But it's really really difficult to fit into the distribution model and that is a problem that at some point We're gonna need to address in Fedora is how we go from the developer centric models of doing things and pip installing and How we make that work in a distribution model There's lots of challenges and opportunities there she got the dreaded finger point of the FPL Hello, so there were a couple of sessions for design We learned some things so for example Jen did a session on micro testing, which is a UI Tool that you use to see if your software is working, so that was very informative I didn't know a lot about that also Suzanne did somewhat similar thing for UI on It's like more about the research side of it and how you can use the analytics you get from those tests To further your software make it better And then we had a hack fest that was great As far as Fedora badges it went well attendance was well was good and we made a few designs I managed to get a design as well, but I kind of Left the session having more questions than Then answers. I mean I wasn't looking for answers, you know We're looking to design things and continue helping out using badges, but in some ways I feel as though Badges is kind of an older project Maybe not as exciting. Maybe not everyone's is excited to work on it anymore I'm definitely looking for developers to push approved badges or even get a comment back There's four or five-year-old tickets. I'm like is this still relevant and there's radio silence on that So that would be interesting and then To get some more help, but I was also kind of inspired by Matt's talk at the beginning the state of Fedora and Talking about how we can Use the tools that we have or do things differently to further the goals of Fedora and I Did design this badge during a flock this year, but um so how we can use You know different parts of Fedora to further the goals So I have a good idea of what the goals are, but I'm not super entrenched in the You know the development side of it the ambassador side of it. I'm a designer so Although I speak about it, and I I love it, and I you know passionate about it I don't have all of the insight that all of you people have I have some right, but I'm here to learn So anyway, the point that I'm trying to make is I'd like to Get a little more Passion or like an injection of ideas and thoughts into Fedora badges So even if that just means you know, I had this idea I haven't taken the time to file a ticket for it do that And for the people who are leadership for Fedora, what can Fedora badges do where do you want? The work to be happening. Can we use badges? to make that happen more and You know that can be a discussion that you have with me Like email me directly if you need like focus work because although I do work on it every week It's still contributing for me. I don't have a lot of dedicated time but I would be happy to make that if There was a solid goal if it wasn't just a list of Old tickets like event tickets we make happen, right? Other tickets we make happen and I like to leave easy open tickets for new badge designers So I don't go and do those but I could but I'm I guess the point is I Don't feel like there's as much excitement about the project and I'd like there still to be and how can we Bring it some excitement back to it Does it mean overhauling how the website looks maybe? Adding more features in there so that people enjoy spending time on that website There's there's stuff there that I think we can continue to grow and improve on to continue to make Fedora great and better and Also, you know design-wise. What can we do to make that? I actually have a badges related idea that came from previous FK Grammy Which I think we haven't taken advantage of very much and some of it could be what's that? Boots joy All right, but basically The idea was that Instead of just having one-off badges for you came to an event you did this thing But to have a little series of badges that show you how like how to get involved in a different section of the project And so if you have something like a join process for your team or websites team It might be nice to think about a series of badges that are like your first contribution This next level and a sort of a little series of things that someone can actually follow like oh, yeah I want to get the next badge and by following those badges. That's makes an easy path to get involved in your project So I think that's a really strong thing we can do with badges that we're not taking advantage of yet This isn't really a recap comment. I'm just sticking it in here Anyways And the the fun Justin tells me the functionality to do that is there We just need ideas for which things need to work on those tracks. So It's called bootstrap, so there we go So I'd like to come back on two events that happened during the D3 conference the first one is so I had the hackfaces on pager We managed there was very little attendance considering the Omni great talks were next to it so we had like five people in the room and Just with the five people we managed to get on both one new contributor who has submitted a pro quest who I just need to merge We managed to we've came in fancy. We managed to fix the the bug that was known but not reported So, you know if you have a bug and that's annoying to you, please report it And so now you can again reply to an issue Notifications directly by email and your email is going to be sent. He's going to be headed to the ticket It wasn't working, but nobody mentioned it, but we knew it was on so we just fix it And we managed with Matt to work on some of the pull requests Which was ready to pager on this gate to improve things for all the contributors So considering how many people are in the room I actually quite happy with the outcome of that Hackfest the second thing which I would like to come back on is something that matters already mentioned. It's the Atomic CI effort This is something that I've been involved for a few months and it has been it has been a little bit frustrating to because it's been a lot of back behind work We were working on the toolings we were working on making things happen But nowadays we have something to show for and we have been able to show them during this conference and see them Well, this is what we have been working on and this is how it's going to influence the entire project So I'm very happy that this is finally something that's coming out And that's something that we can actually show and prove and you know ask for feedback and discussions and See how we can improve things from the current state and I'm also so I'm also standing here to tell you that if you're a ferro atomic package maintainer We'll be coming after you to help you get the test on Basically in the connect in the coming months with there is a dedicated group of person that will be working on Helping the ferro atomic package maintainer to get test on to get tested to the disk it So if you're some if you're interesting come to see us We'll help you if you're not interesting will be coming to you and try to convince you otherwise. Thank you Anyone else? Matthew do you want to give us some closing remarks? Thanks everybody I'm glad that session went well because we were a little bit worried because when we are planning this flock We thought we should have an awesome recap session And then we put on the on the schedule and then we didn't really do a good job of reaching out to session leaders and various people saying Oh, yeah, remember, please think about doing a recap. So thank you everybody who came up here at the last minute and didn't Anyways, I think that worked out really well Kind of related to that and also related to the badges in previous years We've had badges for fedora for speakers at flock and this year we decided We wanted to have just one badge for everybody because this is supposed to be a Hackfest where just because you're up in front of the mic doesn't make you super special everybody here is very special for being part of the fedora project and Right exactly And I wanted to say thank you to everybody when I was at the beginning I should have started with thank you for everybody for being here and for being part of fedora and making fedora What it is and I am just always so grateful to be part of this awesome community and don't dismiss us because Brian has more Logistic stuff to say afterwards, but again, thank you everybody. I Apologize I called Matthew up and yinz was actually standing and I did not see you because it's very dark in the back And so you have been outed by one of your good friends and now you have to come up here and talk I Have eyes everywhere So I apologize. I did not mean to skip over you Yeah, yesterday we had Fedora internationalization session for 90 minutes. It was quite a small session, but we had reviewed the Fedora changes we've done since Fedora 24 and Also, yeah discussed a few interesting topics like what to do with blank packs How we can improve the user experience there And yeah, also some of the other hands-on sessions were pretty useful like Atomic host 101 session by Dusty was really good. I thought helped me to understand better Maybe how we might approach some of the internationalization issues for Yeah that And also the modularity testing was quite nice to play with that And I think maybe that was a modularity might help with the landpacks handling We could have different profiles maybe for workstation or atomic and some so Yeah, it's my first Fedora conference in US and I really enjoyed I think this new do session format is really good. So I hope that'll Continue Yeah, also I Contain a packaging session. I made a Pandoc container which I'm going to submit Yeah, I have no other announcements other than Matthew is walking back up here So I'll briefly say expect a survey which I'm saying publicly so that I'll actually do it It will be short and sweet, but the goal will be to collect some feedback to help the council Make further decisions about block in the future I'll give this to you just a second I'm going to remind people that if you do need to ride to Boston Airport We've got three people who are willing to do rides today and a couple who are doing rides tomorrow So see David Brendan spot And probably lots of other people who are nodding at me like Jared's basically if somebody's jangling keys They probably got a seat And I turn it over you sir. Yeah, no, I thought of more things So sitting there looking at the back of the video camera reminded me Hey, yeah, this is all being recorded and while we've got like a hundred and fifty two hundred people or whatever here Obviously, there's a lot more people than that involved in Fedora, you know thousands people every year and not everybody could be here So let's make sure that we talk about what we did here in the rest of the community And when these videos are available share them as widely as possible We're also going to have a short little marketing promotional video made up from the official photographer Share that around spread things you know spread the love that that kind of thing and again. Thank you all for being here
