Retrospection of Fedora QA Global Onboarding Call

By -
Building on the premise , that Fedora QA mailing-list started having loads of new contributors, we decided to kick off on-boarding calls for the new joiners to understand the Fedora QA process in the right way. Last Saturday, (2016-08-20) , we got the votes from all the new joiners and started off with the Fedora QA on-boarding call .

Last time when we ran it , we faced few roadblocks , major one being the "Participation" limit of Hangouts. Since, we wanted the call to be more interactive we thought it will be best to have it over "Hangouts". One major roadblock was that although we had a very interactive call with a load of question answers , the participation limit was pretty much restricted because we reached the max number of participants.

In the last call, we went for "Hangouts on Air" this is where we traded our interactivity with viewership. As this call technically had zero limitation in terms of participation  , the communication pattern was mostly simplex. Although pirate pad , help a lot in making the duplex conversation with the chatbox feature in it.

Adding to the silver lining, we had the recording up with zero downtime. People with lower bandwidth can always watch the video or download it from youtube for reference.

Having said that , We will be conducting on-boarding calls when ~30 new contributor join Fedora QA

Rocket on Fedora

This post is a very small example of how you can start creating small web apps with Rocket which extensively uses Rust under the hood. This post will just give an idea about how to get started if you are totally new to rust. Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety . All with minimal code. - rocket.rs Getting started: Start by installing rust nightly on your system or virtual box: $ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh -s -- --channel=nightly                  Setting up Project and Dependencies: Setting up the project is easy cas you can go ahead and execute cargo new hello-rocket --bin Once the execution is completes , you will have a binary application created with a Cargo.toml file and src dir with main.rs inside it. For setting up the dependencies you need to update the Cargo.toml file. Now,it's time to update the source main.rs f

[Test Day Annoucement] Anaconda Blivet GUI

Thursday 2017-04-06 will be Anaconda Blivet-GUI Test Day ! As part of this planned Change for Fedora 26, So this is an important Test Day! We'll be testing the new detailed bottom-up configuration screen has been long requested by users and inclusion of blivet-gui into Anaconda finally makes this a reality. On the other hand, it just adds a new option without changing the existing advanced storage configuration so users that prefer the top-down configuration can still use it. to see whether it's working well enough and catch any remaining issues. It's also pretty easy to join in: all you'll need is alpha 1.7 (which you can grab from the wiki page). Anaconda grew a rather important new option in F26: as well as the two existing partitioning choices (automatic, and the existing anaconda custom part interface) there's now a *third* choice.so now you can do custom partitioning with blivet-gui run within anaconda, as well as using anaconda's own interface

Mine Shiba Inu ($shib) on Fedora/LINUX

Context Please Well, all of us has heard about the new shiny $shib. When the pump is so high, news and media just happen to cover it. That's the normal. This post is not about what $shib is or what you can do with it. This post is a basic walk through of how YOU can mine $shib at home and earn [or atleast learn what mining is]. One of most hyped thing about mining is, we need Graphics Cards [GPU] and a lot of GPUs worthing lakhs in my country. Amount of money which is very hard to shell out at one go.  So, since sometime, miners have been relying heavily on a pool. A pool is collection of computing power which will together mine of a certain type of currency. We have some coins which will require a certain quantity of vRAM to start with and there are some which will require less. Depending on the power of the GPU, you can join the pool and help with collective mining.  Now, since a lot of us don't end up having such GPUs we end up not mining at all! But what if there was a way
