Special Notes for Hackfest/Workshop
Session Type | Session Name | Description | Owner | Pre-requisites |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hackfest | Packaging a ROS Groovy SCL for Fedora | "The robotics SIG has been working on packaging up the ROS robotics platform for Fedora. I'd like to sit down with any interested parties and package up as much of ROS groovy as possible as an SCL to a COPR repository. I'll use the opportunity to teach people how SCLs work and even some packaging if there are new people looking to start with Fedora packaging." |
Ankur Sinha | A working Fedora 19/20 installation. Some knowledge of RPM packaging would be beneficial. |
Workshop | A GPG key signing party | "The GPG key signing party helps to extend the web of trust to a great degree. I'll briefly introduce the web of trust, and then we'll go about signing each others GPG keys! We'll also discuss good practices about backing up one's keys etc. and how one can use GPG to sign other things, like e-mail, git commits or encrypt files." | Ankur Sinha | A working Fedora 19/20 installation. All attendees should have valid gpg keys, and photo ID card. |
Workshop | LaTeX Tips | An interactive workshop/training to walk through common mistakes in LaTeX usage, and more importantly talk about the correct way. Also talk about how to troubleshoot the "mysterious" LaTeX error log. | Alick Zhao | A working TeX installation (e.g. TeX Live 2013 on Fedora 20) |
Workshop | Fedora i18n and L10n | A brief introduction of Fedora i18n and L10n process. We'll talk about how to do i18n on Fedora and how to do L10n on Transifex platform. And some basic procedure on i18n & L10n test. Also we'll share some experience on translation. | Tian Shixiong Lijun Li | A working Fedora system with poedit and msgfmt tools installed.
