Fedora Activity Day at SCaLE 7x

FAD SCaLE Details

 * Date: Friday, February 20, 2009
 * Place: Midway Room, Mezzanine Level, Westin Los Angeles Airport
 * Time: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Note: A Fedora Birds of a Feather meeting will take place from 7-8 p.m. on Friday at the Midway Room -- either a continuation of work will or just a social hour will take place there

At the end of your participation in the FAD we are asking you to take the brief Post FAD survey for SCaLE 7x.

Activities
The items below will be going on from around 9am - 5pm. There will be breaks and such, but they are treated much like a sprint. We're here to get something accomplished so it may be longer, or shorter. Come on by and help us out for an hour or all day, we'd love to have you there!

Packaging of Fonts
There are approximately 50-75 fonts that are not packaged in Fedora. These fonts are generally easy to package and take about 30-60 minutes a piece. The expected amount of fonts to be packaged at the Font Packaging FAD will be around 10-15.

Some fonts we may be able to package



An updated spec template set has been built for F9 and F10, but may not have hit mirrors yet. In that case use the koji versions directly.

Documentation
The Fedora User Guide is developed on the wiki, edited in place, and prepared for conversion to DocBook XML. We are going to work on starting and completing chapters for the User Guide. Our goal is to make a significant dent in the User Guide tasks and possibly some of the project tasks.
