From Fedora Project Wiki

Revision as of 21:47, 1 February 2010 by Mchua (talk | contribs)

Fedora Insight (FI) is a website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. It makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists - people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community - to keep up with the goings on of the community without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

This wiki page is for people interested in working on and contributing to Fedora Insight itself; the site is a project that requires collaboration between many teams (FWN, Marketing, Websites, Design, Infrastructure, etc.), so this is our central landing spot.

Project status

Communications

For the most up-to-date status of the project, ask on the logistics mailing list (read the archives to see if your question has been recently answered first) or in the #fedora-mktg (irc.freenode.net) IRC channel.

Production

There is no live production instance yet (we are working on the first one).

Staging

https://stg.fedoraproject.org/insight/

This instance is set up by the Infrastructure team according to the instructions at How to set up a Zikula sandbox. Login/authentication is hooked to your normal FAS account.

Publictest

http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/

This instance is available to experiment with, and is accessible by anyone with access to the sysadmin-test FAS group. Login/authentication is hooked to the test FAS instance.

Do not use your regular Fedora account (FAS) credentials.
Make a test account in the test FAS instance.

How to use:

  1. Make a test account on the public-test instance of FAS at https://publictest3.fedoraproject.org/accounts .
  2. Log in to https://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/ using your FAS test account.
  3. Play!

Goals

Our next milestone is to migrate the Fedora Weekly News workflow and publication to Fedora Insight before Alpha Public Availability (March 2, 2010).

The milestone after that is to get all pre-beta F13 Marketing deliverables published on Fedora Insight before Beta Release Public Availability (April 6, 2010).

Milestones beyond this are discussed on the talk page.

Teams involved

Design

List of FI tickets in Design trac

The repo is located at git://git.fedorproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git.

You can checkout the theme anonymously using

git clone git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git

People who are a part of the (FAS) group gitfedora-insight-theme can check out using

git clone ssh://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git

To use the theme on your local copy of zikula just copy over the fedora folder inside the git repo and paste in the /path/to/zikula/theme folder and change the settings in the Admin Panel.

If you make any change in the theme directly on the server (pt6) make sure that you copy over the changes you made to the theme and to keep the git repo updated always.

Infrastructure

The master ticket is at Infrastructure Trac #1615, but if you're looking to help out, it's best to see our the Trac query.

Marketing

multiple tickets in marketing Trac.

FWN

Packaging
