Status

We're currently in the planning stage of the SIG. Bringing interested people together to flesh out the who, what, where, when, and how.

Communication

• #fedora-admin and #fedora-devel on Freenode IRC
• Slides from a talk given at Linux Fest Northwest 2009 by Jesse Keating

Schedule

None yet, need to work out a timeline for implementing a Messaging system.

Brainstorming

Things to add to schedule in order to implement this

• setup a qpid server in publictest infrastructure
• Figure out how QMF fits into our plans
• Design notification server to interact with the bus, receiving messages and sending notifications out
  • lmacken mentioned that a moksha plugin might be suitable for this
  • Figure out how people can change their notification settings -- should the settings be in the apps and then the notification server polls the apps for updates? Or should the apps redirect people to the notification server?
• setup notification server on publictest infrastructure
• migrate qpid and notification server to stg.
• deploy
• port apps to use notification server
  • koji plugin
  • pkgdb change
  • fas? (Or is this essential enough that it should stay in fas?)
  • bodhi
  • cvs commit mail

Proposals
