hi,
Over the last couple of months, an increasing number of people have been getting in touch with me to ask about various things in the project and also to find out how they can get started contributing to the project.
So what I'd like to do is start up a set of office-hours slots in a week where I will make myself available on irc, phone, web ( hangout ? ) and anyone can come along for a chat. I shall also try and have other people come along and join in from the existing contributors pool.
To start things off, I am going to be available on all Thursdays:
- 08:30-09:00 am UTC (9:30am London, 2:00pm, India, 4:30pm Singapore) - 04:00-04:30 pm UTC (5:00pm London, 12noon Eastern, 9am Pacific )
During this time, you can find me on #centos-devel irc.freenode.net ( as 'kbsingh'), and you can also call me on the phone at +44 207 009 4455.

Wouldn't it be good to pin this somewhere on centos.org ? maybe the wiki? in the dev documentation (get started tutorial or something like this)?
kind regards

That sounds like a great idea, but give me a few weeks to get the bits sorted out and make sure we can provide good value for everyone coming along.
Regards,
Are we starting to have enough meetings that an ics feed would make sense?

absolutely. there was quite a bit of talk around setting up a shared cal - but that got blocked on the lack of a central auth setup. Which in turn is starting to 'get there', so we should have something on the cal side as well down the road.

Why do you need a central auth system for that? In openstack, we just have meetings managed in a bunch of yaml files in a git repo. Some tooling generates an ical file off this and prevents collisions. I'm not sure this approach is suitable for centos, but it's been working out well for openstack.

Because back then the question was about adopting fedocal that uses openid for authentication and authorization.

Something like this would seem to be a good stop gap. Is this something people would support as an interim measure?

happy to support any system we can use right now, and it looks like you volunteered to get it setup and keep it going. So a +1 from me.

I took a look at the code used by OpenStack and it is easy to get running.
I have never put anything into our infrastructure before. It looks like we need:
1) A git repo to hold the meeting data 2) A decision on who can commit meeting changes or if we want to do a pull style system. (Do we want to mirror this down from github and let that system manage the commit issues?) 3) A server/container engine somewhere that can run the ics generator on an as needed basis. 4) A webserver that can serve the .ics file to interested subscribers and serve the meeting list.
There appears to be a jquery display widget we could get running if we really want a calendar style listing on the website. I can also look at extending the code to provide a textual list of meetings for the next period of time (assumes we can get a cron job for daily refresh).
I am happy to do the leg work, but I don’t know where to get started on securing these resources. Any ideas.

https://git.centos.org/summary/sig-core/calendar.git mirrored at https://github.com/CentOS/Calendar for external direct contrib. You should have access to push/pull from both locations at this point.

let folks PR at github, and you can then accept/deny. folks from the core sig can also help cover if you need. I dont anticipate this being super high velocity.
- A server/container engine somewhere that can run the ics generator on an as needed basis.
is it possible for you to run this gen on your machine and only push the ics file back into the git repo, we can then have a url that points to the file, and thats the end of that ( i.e the file hosted at git.centos.org itself )

this would be nice for www.centos.org; I'll let you workout with Jim as to how and where this might slot in.

thanks for the offer to run this for us!

A web page will be coming once Jim and I connect to figure out where it should land.
Feedback is appreciated.
There is one known issue - it is a github Issue.

Wonder if we can get a blog post from you at seven.centos.org around this, and then promote that url a bit.

Since the second slot conflicts with existing meetings in the channel, I am going to move the afternoon slot to Wednesday. so the new timings:
Wednesday: * 04:00-04:30 pm UTC (5:00pm London, 12noon Eastern, 9am Pacific )
Thursday: * - 08:30-09:00 am UTC (9:30am London, 2:00pm, India, 4:30pm Singapore)
