Meeting of 2007-01-04
*** Time shown in EST 15:04 <@mmcgrath> sweet, well. Lets get started. Role call 15:04 * dgilmore is here 15:04 * abadger1999 is here 15:05 * mdomsch is here 15:05 * iWolf is here 15:06 * c4chris|w is around (for once) 15:06 * skvidal is here, actually - b/c I'm at home sick 15:06 < skvidal> :-/ 15:06 <@mmcgrath> ick 15:06 < skvidal> yah, luckily I can't make you sick from here 15:06 <@mmcgrath> Thats good, - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Schedule 15:07 <@mmcgrath> abadger1999: had any responses about the package database? 15:07 < abadger1999> No responses. 15:07 < abadger1999> I've got something up now. 15:07 <@mmcgrath> Are you worried about what impact brew might have on what you're doing? 15:07 < abadger1999> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ 15:07 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: Yes. 15:08 < abadger1999> Unfortunately, I don't know what the impact will be until I see what all's included. 15:08 * poelcat here 15:08 <@mmcgrath> f13, warren: is there anything we can do in the meantime to make sure brew won't completely change what Toshio is doing? 15:08 <@mmcgrath> poelcat: yo 15:08 < jcollie> i tried the web interface a bit last night and I got a 503 error 15:08 < abadger1999> jcollie: Yeah. try it now. 15:09 < poelcat> mmcgrath: howdy 15:09 < abadger1999> There's something funky in TG that I'm trying to track down. 15:09 < jcollie> yeah, that's better :) 15:09 -!- kschreyack [email@example.com] has joined #fedora-admin 15:09 < abadger1999> But for now, I just kill the old TG process if I notice it's not responding. 15:09 <@mmcgrath> abadger1999: we may just have to deal with that when the time comes 15:09 < abadger1999> (Scripted now so that it does so automatically.) 15:10 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: brew? Yes. 15:10 < jcollie> heh heh "Fedora Extras devel: Status: EOL" :) 15:10 <@mmcgrath> we'll go on to VCS then 15:10 < abadger1999> jcollie: :-) Yep. It's a straight import from owners.list. We will need to alter status and owner information and such like before going live. 15:11 <@mmcgrath> At this point the SIG is 'formed' but hasn't done anything. 15:11 <@mmcgrath> The VCS choice has been moved AFAIK to FC8 15:11 < jcollie> i started a wiki page with a list of operations to support 15:11 < abadger1999> We need to get Chris Blizzard and some others involved. 15:11 < jcollie> but not much feedback from the sig 15:11 < warren> mmcgrath, f13: I indicated that we really need to release the brew schema sooner, jesse is working on that. 15:11 < warren> currently blocking on legal 15:11 <@mmcgrath> warren: k, thanks. 15:12 <@mmcgrath> jcollie: wiki link? 15:12 < abadger1999> jcollie: I've been meaning to reply to your message for a week but have had other things to work on :-( 15:12 <@mmcgrath> jcollie: I might have missed the email, did it go to a list? 15:12 < abadger1999> Basically, I think we need to be looking at an even higher level than that. 15:13 < abadger1999> Chris Blizzard and a few others in the fedora summit proposed that the dist-cvs workflow isn't the best for developing packages. 15:13 < abadger1999> He proposed using exploded source trees instead. 15:13 <@mmcgrath> Should we discuss the VCS at Fudcon? 15:14 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: Yes. 15:14 < jcollie> mmcgrath, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/VersionControl/Operations 15:14 < abadger1999> that would be a great thing to do. 15:14 * mmcgrath adds it to the wiki 15:14 < jcollie> mmcgrath, i sent it as a reply to your scm sig message 15:14 < abadger1999> So things like lookaside cache would go away in that scenario. 15:15 <@mmcgrath> I have a love-hate with look-aside-cache. 15:15 < jcollie> abadger1999, no i think the lookaside would remain 15:16 <@mmcgrath> I personally do think, though, that we should version control stuff we do not 'create' if that makes sense. 15:16 <@mmcgrath> At least with lookaside cache we can remove source that is only in FC1 for example if we need to though I don't think thats optimum. 15:17 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: one thing we are going to need to do is get alot more storage space 15:17 <@mmcgrath> dgilmore: thats a definate. *ESPECIALLY* if we're going to give hosting a shot at actually working :-) 15:17 < abadger1999> jcollie: If the source is in the VCS, then there's no need for lookaside cache. 15:17 < jcollie> problem with putting big binaries into VC is that (at least with some of the VC) is that we have a collection of repos, not one large one so there's no opportinity to share 15:18 <@mmcgrath> one worrie I have about source in VCS is bloat, one issue with SVN at least is that once its there it CANNOT be removed. 15:18 <@mmcgrath> which is good and bad. 15:18 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: well not just hosted. but i personanly like lookaside cache from an extras user point of view 15:18 < abadger1999> They wouldn't be binaries. 15:18 < jcollie> does dell make a fibre channel storage system? 15:18 < abadger1999> Their untarred so they're source trees. 15:19 < jcollie> abadger1999, but if you untar them it's much harder to verify that you have the same file as upstream 15:19 <@mmcgrath> Actually we should discuss this with the sig. Someone (jcollie? ;-) should setup a sig meeting for us to meet and discuss such things. 15:19 < abadger1999> As for collection of repos, using distributed VCS's like bazaar makes sharing (as in storage space) posible and sharing (as in with upstream/other projects) also possible. 15:19 < dgilmore> abadger1999: i still dont quite uderstand how that will help me 15:20 < abadger1999> dgilmore: It makes managing large patchsets easier. 15:20 < mdomsch> jcollie, we partner with EMC for FC storage 15:21 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: yeah. and we should move the discussion onto fedora-devel too. 15:21 < jcollie> mdomsch, you have enough pull to get a few terabytes of storage donated :) 15:22 < mdomsch> if we can define "a few" and in how many locations 15:22 <@mmcgrath> agreed, I think that from now on as far as VCS goes the FI team should stick to hosting and actual implementation issues. 15:22 < mdomsch> we can try to get it out of EMC directly 15:22 -!- smooge [n=smooge@pdpc/supporter/bronze/smooge] has joined #fedora-admin 15:22 < mdomsch> no promises here 15:22 < abadger1999> We need to get Chris Blizzard involved in the discussion at least so he can present why he thinks exploded trees are great. 15:22 < dgilmore> mdomsch: probably 5 to start all in pheonix 15:22 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: +1 15:23 <@mmcgrath> even though most of the FI team is in the Sig ;-) 15:23 * dgilmore is probably the only one not in it 15:23 < jcollie> mmcgrath, +1 yeah we could spend all day discussing VCS here 15:23 <@mmcgrath> k, we'll move on 15:23 < warren> where is this Sig? 15:24 <@mmcgrath> iWolf: db1 upgrade. I can never remember where thats going or if you're waiting o nme. 15:24 < warren> I've completely missed it 15:24 <@mmcgrath> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SCMSig 15:24 < iWolf> mmcgrath: the holidays were much busier than I thought. 15:24 < iWolf> jas 15:25 <@mmcgrath> no worries. 15:25 <@mmcgrath> they usually are :-) 15:26 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: we were waiting on getting the old cvs server hardware back and in shape 15:26 <@mmcgrath> Thats right, the hard drive upgrade. 15:26 <@mmcgrath> firmware upgrade 15:26 < dgilmore> yep 15:26 < iWolf> back 15:26 < iWolf> sorry. 15:27 <@mmcgrath> K, I've just sent a message to Stacy to find out what the status is / was for that. 15:27 < iWolf> The holidays were busy, I just need to confirm my access to teh old cvs box and set it up. 15:27 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: was stacy going to update the firmware or a dell tech? 15:27 < iWolf> I can test the DBs before the HD firmware is udpated. 15:27 <@mmcgrath> Thats true. 15:27 <@mmcgrath> dgilmore: no idea. 15:27 < iWolf> It was going to be Stacy or mgaloci (sp?) 15:27 < iWolf> They just hadn't gotten to it yet. 15:27 <@mmcgrath> Not sure. 15:28 < iWolf> I'm thte slow one, as I can get stuff ready to go even before the firmware is updated. 15:28 < iWolf> :) 15:28 <@mmcgrath> We kind of operate out of their normal operating procedures, they actually have an internal ticketing system that they normally use and we email them directly so sometimes stuff gets forgotten. 15:28 <@mmcgrath> that will probably change soon. 15:29 <@mmcgrath> lmacken: whats up with the firewall stuff? 15:29 <@mmcgrath> Surely thats done now :-D ? 15:29 < lmacken> haha 15:29 < lmacken> nothing new with the firewall stuff.. i haven't had any spare cycles to give to it 15:29 <@mmcgrath> Yeah 15:29 < lmacken> it's just a matter of deployment (typing 'pyroman'), and seeing what breaks 15:30 <@mmcgrath> k 15:30 < lmacken> and then tweaking the configs 15:30 <@mmcgrath> warren: should we move Xen to the 'done' category? 15:30 < skvidal> mmcgrath: have you read davej's comments on the subject? :) 15:30 < skvidal> of xen, I mean 15:31 <@mmcgrath> No? 15:31 <@mmcgrath> Where were they posted? 15:31 < dgilmore> skvidal: yeah i did 15:31 < dgilmore> skvidal: you do mean fab list? 15:31 < skvidal> mmcgrath: f-a-b list a couple of weeks ago 15:31 < skvidal> dgilmore: yah 15:31 < skvidal> mmcgrath: I believe he said 'bullet in the brainpan' 15:31 < dgilmore> he hates xen with a passion 15:31 < iWolf> yeah, he seems to be pretty against xen! 15:31 < dgilmore> alot of our boxes should support kvm 15:32 <@mmcgrath> What thread? 15:32 < skvidal> umm 15:32 < skvidal> one sec 15:32 < warren> dgilmore, what does kvm actually gain us? 15:32 < skvidal> being in the kernel 15:32 < dgilmore> warren: its upstream 15:32 < warren> mmcgrath, sure 15:33 < dgilmore> its full virt 15:33 < skvidal> mmcgrath: 15:33 < skvidal> https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2006-December/msg00072.html and https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2006-December/msg00079.html 15:33 < warren> dgilmore, you're assuming that full virt is a good thing. It isn't, for our purposes. 15:33 < warren> dgilmore, paravirt is way faster and more flexilb.e 15:33 * mmcgrath reading 15:33 < abadger1999> That won't affect us until we're ready to upgrade past RHEL5, thoug,h, unles I'm missing something? 15:33 < skvidal> abadger1999: you're correct - it's just something to keep in mind 15:34 < skvidal> b/c we're putting a bunch of eggs in a basket that a number of folks hate 15:34 < dgilmore> warren: im not dismissing that just that kvm will make davej happier 15:34 < warren> Xen while not upstream is at least well supported by a large company and in the product that we're using. 15:34 < dgilmore> warren: im quite happy with xen 15:34 < warren> Nothing stops us from migrating to a different virtualization solution in the future. 15:34 < abadger1999> skvidal: Yeah -- I've been thinking about it too but figured that we had some time to let kvm/lhype/etc stabilize to see where we want to jump. 15:34 < dgilmore> im not saying we should. 15:34 <@mmcgrath> Does KVM use normal partitions? 15:35 < dgilmore> Xen is in RHEL5 so we have it available for 7 years at least 15:35 < warren> Keep in mind that full virt is NOT VERY USEFUL for our purposes. 15:35 <@mmcgrath> I mean, can we easily switch from using KVM or Xen? 15:35 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: not sure 15:35 < skvidal> if we run rhel5 for 7 years then we suck :) 15:35 < warren> mmcgrath, it isn't a trivial shift, but it is possible 15:35 < dgilmore> skvidal: yep we would if we did 15:36 < dgilmore> but if we want to stick with xen and its dropped from RHEL6 we can stick with it 15:36 < warren> there is a good reason why management has been abstracted with libvirt 15:36 <@mmcgrath> I say for now, we stick with Xen. If it falls through and Xensource doesn't shape up we should be able to easily migrate. 15:36 <@mmcgrath> I would think anyway. 15:36 < iWolf> isn't full virt more useful for us? 15:36 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: +1 15:36 < warren> iWolf, no 15:36 < iWolf> No guest OS modification? 15:36 < warren> full virt is less useful 15:36 < f13> there are shaping up ways to be able to run xen guests with other virt tools 15:36 < f13> like lhype or even KVM stuff 15:37 < f13> Red Hat will need to have a migration path, so going forward with Xen isn't going to be a big deal IMHO, so long as any tools we create are built on top of libvirt 15:37 < iWolf> full virt uses the VT and AMD extensions, right? 15:37 < f13> yes 15:37 < iWolf> So what's wrong with that? 15:37 < f13> and no full virt is NOT more useful. 15:37 < abadger1999> f13: +1 15:37 < f13> fullvirt is much slower 15:37 <@mmcgrath> yeah djones is unhappy with xen for reasons that make a lot of sense. 15:37 < warren> paravirt is faster and more flxible 15:37 < dgilmore> so lets move on 15:38 < f13> all our guests should/will have paravirt kernels for them, so we don't need fullvirt 15:38 <@mmcgrath> he would know and " 15:38 <@mmcgrath> Upstream kernel.org seems to be heading on a different path to virtualisation^Pr^Pnanyway (KVM for full-virt and lhype for paravirt)" is very telling 15:38 <@mmcgrath> so lets keep an eye on it. 15:38 <@mmcgrath> a close eye. 15:38 < f13> mmcgrath: well, lhype isn't upstream yet, probably not for a while, but OT by now 9: 15:38 < f13> (: 15:39 <@mmcgrath> We'll move on for now, dgilmore: legacy? 15:39 < f13> RHEL5 has to be supported for 7 years, I feel pretty confident using it (or CentOS5) on any part of the Fedora infrastructure 15:39 < warren> don't worry about Xen for now, just use it, it works for us. Migration path will be provided in the future. 15:39 < f13> Legacy is a dead issue, there is no legacy. 15:39 < smooge> bah 15:39 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: i switched legacy support on the buildsys off when i switched off FC-3 and FC-4 15:39 < skvidal> I've never heard of legacy 15:40 <@mmcgrath> skvidal: some called it 'heritage' :-P 15:40 < smooge> s/Legacy/Old Farts Release/ 15:40 <@mmcgrath> lmacken: updates system 15:40 <@mmcgrath> whats the word? 15:40 < skvidal> thunderbird 15:40 < lmacken> word 15:40 < lmacken> Update system is still coming along nicely. I'm hoping to have basic functionality done this week, I'm just polishing up the push/metadata generation code at the moment. 15:40 < lmacken> I started setting up the production environment for it, created tables in postgres (although, I can move it over to mysql if people want; i don't care either way). 15:40 < lmacken> i hope to have something we can play with shortly 15:41 < dgilmore> lmacken: i want to use it for EPEL 15:41 < lmacken> yep 15:41 < lmacken> that's the plan 15:41 <@mmcgrath> Fun 15:41 < lmacken> it could be used for anything really 15:41 < dgilmore> i need to get stuck into my TurboGears book and jump in 15:41 < f13> skvidal: yes, I"d be drinking thunderbird if I had to keep doing legacy 15:41 < abadger1999> lmacken: We should talk about how to do common templates for all Fedora TG sites. 15:41 < lmacken> even OLPC 15:41 < lmacken> abadger1999: yeah 15:41 <@mmcgrath> Sweet. 15:41 < lmacken> i hacked mine together (from a mockup dfong gave me a couple of summers ago) 15:42 < abadger1999> I want to get nman64 and the website people involved. 15:42 < f13> lmacken: you owe us an internal version of it too (: 15:42 <@mmcgrath> Ok, I'll skip through the priority two stuff kind of quick. 15:42 < f13> it can be ass ugly, it just has to work 15:42 <@mmcgrath> Anyone else feel like we've gotten NOWHERE with the config management decisions? 15:42 < lmacken> f13: yup yup. the current code works (meaning sends emails around, and can push updates) 15:42 < f13> k 15:42 < skvidal> mmcgrath: we've generated lots of not-terribly-useful email 15:42 < f13> mmcgrath: there has been a lot of noise... 15:42 < skvidal> mmcgrath: here's my take 15:42 <@mmcgrath> Wasn't someone supposed to create a 'what we need' wiki page? 15:43 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: Sorta. I think we've got three choices so far: glump, puppet, bcfg2 15:43 < f13> so the real question is this. A) who is going to be using it and B) what does that person really want to use. 15:43 < skvidal> mmcgrath: you're johnny in charge around here for this sort of stuff. choose one,go with it 15:43 < skvidal> mmcgrath: everyone in here, will jump on board 15:43 < f13> the rest of us will deal. 15:43 < abadger1999> skvidal: :-) 15:43 < skvidal> seriously. I'm fine with whatever 15:43 < skvidal> I'm sure I'll figure it out if need be :) 15:43 * f13 too 15:43 < f13> I'm sure I'll bug skvidal to do whatever if need be. 15:44 < skvidal> well, except for the cvsdist/rdist thing 15:44 < skvidal> :) 15:44 < abadger1999> glump will need us to do hacking -- but it's shell and python so it's possible. 15:44 <@mmcgrath> I'm not the type to say how it is, I'll write up a proposal/reason and see how it goes from there. 15:45 < abadger1999> puppet is attractive if we don't have to hack it much 15:45 < f13> mmcgrath: grow some balls (: 15:45 < skvidal> abadger1999: not much hacking - I've already given all the scripts we use here at duke 15:45 < abadger1999> bcfg2 -- no one here's used so it's an unknown. 15:45 <@mmcgrath> I haven't even looked at bcfg2 15:45 <@mmcgrath> Alrighty, moving on... 15:45 <@mmcgrath> Metrics 15:46 <@mmcgrath> The hardware profiler is coming along 15:46 <@mmcgrath> http://publictest4.fedora.redhat.com/stats 15:46 <@mmcgrath> and 15:46 <@mmcgrath> http://publictest4.fedora.redhat.com/raw 15:46 <@mmcgrath> There's some bugs in the rhn client tools but I'll be looking into that. 15:46 < f13> wait, bugs in RHN code? shocking 15:46 <@mmcgrath> The question is if we want to tie this into a reporting system for first release or just keep it a hardware / metrics mechanism. 15:46 <@mmcgrath> f13: OMG I know!1!!one! 15:47 < f13> mmcgrath: looking good thus far 15:47 < f13> 'reporting system for first release' ? 15:47 <@mmcgrath> I see dgilmore has been helping me test - Aurora SPARC Linux release 2.90 (Aurora Corona) :-D 15:47 <@mmcgrath> You know how when something crashes in MS a box comes up and does a 'send error report' 15:48 <@mmcgrath> Blizzard suggested we do something similar, we could add a flag with it that says "this profile was sent with an error, here's the users description of the error" 15:48 < warren> mmcgrath, do we want UUID to be displayed in public? 15:48 <@mmcgrath> but that would have to tie into bz somehow. 15:48 < warren> mmcgrath, isn't UUID an unique identifier that could be a privacy problem? 15:48 <@mmcgrath> warren: I've gone back and forth about that, I don't think it matters since there's on way to tie it back to anyone. 15:48 <@mmcgrath> unless someone already has access to the UUID file on that persons machine. 15:49 < f13> ah 15:49 <@mmcgrath> in which case they'd have access to all the hardware info inyway. 15:49 <@mmcgrath> I'm grabbing it from /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid 15:49 < warren> hmm 15:49 < warren> I guess 15:50 <@mmcgrath> Plus I'm hoping people will be submitting (at first at least) and saying "hey my sound won't work, my UUID is 123-123-1231231231231U 15:50 <@mmcgrath> Thats the only way for us to tie a machine to a person is if they gave it to us. 15:51 <@mmcgrath> ok, its getting later than I though. any word on SMTP? 15:51 < warren> dgilmore succeeded where I sucked. 15:51 < warren> Any decision to try sqlite to simplify it? 15:52 <@mmcgrath> dgilmore: any word on it? 15:52 < dgilmore> im going to change it to sqllite 15:52 < dgilmore> thats tonights job 15:53 <@mmcgrath> Awesome. 15:54 <@mmcgrath> kimo paulobanon aren't here but they've done a lot of work on proxy servers + moin and unfortunately we won't benefit from it until the next release 15:54 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: i plan to have the metrics db full of sparc before the week is out :D 15:54 <@mmcgrath> :-D 15:55 <@mmcgrath> f13: project hosting. 15:55 <@mmcgrath> how's it going, what do you need, where do we go from here? 15:56 < f13> I still need a way to dole out raw webspace 15:56 < f13> secondly, I want to revamp how our hosted SCMs are done, move them to their own xen instance so that each can live happily alone 15:56 * mdomsch wants to get gitweb running 15:56 < f13> (different ips so that we don't have to do silly games with http/ssh) 15:57 < mdomsch> f13, putting each hosted proj in its own xen instance will be lots and lots of xen instances over time 15:57 <@mmcgrath> f13: will the SCM we chose be related to this in any way in your mind? 15:57 < abadger1999> f13: How many hosted projects are we planning on having? Will giving each one their own xen instanc e begin to wiegh things down? 15:58 < mdomsch> each to manage, and each taking memory 15:58 <@mmcgrath> I mean, right now we have cvs, git and hg already. Should we let projects pick their own SCM? 15:58 < mdomsch> mmcgrath, I'd say yes 15:58 < jcollie> i say let them use any scm that trac supports 15:58 < dgilmore> f13: ibillio does it by haveing a box you ssh into with http space and web space nfs mounted 15:58 < abadger1999> Right now it seems constrained by trac... svn, git, hg, darcs, and bzr all have trac plugins I think 15:59 < dgilmore> s/http/ftp/ 15:59 <@mmcgrath> If we go the multiple route thing we'll need to make sure that we have the expertise on hand to handle all that. 15:59 < f13> mdomsch: no no. 16:00 < f13> mdomsch: each SCM would get its own xen, not each project. 16:00 < mdomsch> ahh 16:00 < f13> mmcgrath: the package SCM, no, these would just be the hosted SCMs, git, hg, svn 16:00 < abadger1999> Ah. Much better :-) 16:00 < f13> hehe 16:01 < f13> I"m not that batshit insane. 16:01 <@mmcgrath> K. 16:01 < f13> dgilmore: so long as A) one user can't put stuff in another user's webdir, and B) there is very little risk of the login box being exploited leading to further exploitation. 16:01 <@mmcgrath> How much response have you gotten from people on it internally and externally? Can we assume this will be pretty popular the day it goes live? 16:01 < jcollie> a config management system (like puppet :)) would help a lot in managing the hosted stuff 16:02 < f13> mmcgrath: I've gotten an OK amount of inquiries, which is neat as I"ve done 0 advertisement. 16:02 <@mmcgrath> Yeah, its basically been all word of mouth at this point. 16:02 < dgilmore> f13: sure we would probably need to use linux acls so we can grant apache right and deny others access 16:02 < f13> mmcgrath: it'll be interesting, I imagine I'll get a lot of crap requests, somebody wanting to start a project, vaporware. 16:02 < f13> dgilmore: I'm more thinking that the box people log into to put content up is _NOT_ the box that apache runs from 16:02 < dgilmore> f13: i want some space to start a project about projects :D 16:03 < dgilmore> f13: sure 16:03 < f13> I don't necessarily know how to handle "is this a worthy project of us hosting" though 16:03 < dgilmore> thats how ibilio has it setup ftp is one box http is another box you log into a thired box 16:03 < f13> and any sort of project cleanup, getting rid of vaporware. 16:03 < f13> dgilmore: makes sense, although I refuse to support ftp 16:04 < f13> I think skvidal is with me on that one. 16:04 < skvidal> yes, I am 16:04 <@mmcgrath> Which reminds me I've been meaning to put a "request for resources" form on the wiki. 16:04 < skvidal> I refuse to support f13 supporting ftp 16:04 < dgilmore> f13: i dont want to support ftp either 16:04 < jcollie> yeah, down with ftp 16:04 <@mmcgrath> So that people have to actually come to us with a proposal. 16:04 < dgilmore> but you can s/ftp/scm/ 16:05 < f13> dgilmore: you don't want to support scm? 16:06 -!- lyz [firstname.lastname@example.com] has quit ["Leaving"] 16:06 < dgilmore> f13: no scm can be used instead of f 16:06 < dgilmore> tp 16:06 <@mmcgrath> ahh 16:06 < dgilmore> have nfs mounts for things that might be needed from the login box 16:06 < dgilmore> login.fedoraproject.org :D 16:07 < dgilmore> reminds me how do i change dns? 16:07 < dgilmore> i want to add smtp.fedoraproject.org 16:07 <@mmcgrath> its on lockbox 16:07 <@mmcgrath> in the cvs, the 'ns-master' host IIRC, we run DNS in a chroot 16:08 <@mmcgrath> mdomsch: anything to add on mirror management? 16:08 < mdomsch> I need to work on the schema a lot 16:08 <@mmcgrath> how bad was it? 16:08 < mdomsch> not horrible, but definitely needs work 16:08 < f13> dgilmore: well, hopefully one would have the ability to do say 'createrepo mydir/' for an upstream repo and not have to try and commit that through an SCM 16:09 < mdomsch> jcollie noted it would be useful to have a tool to automatically populate the db 16:09 < mdomsch> which really makes sense considering data we can't see externally pre-bitflip 16:09 < f13> dgilmore: 'login.hosted.fedoraproject.org' seperate it out even more. 16:09 < dgilmore> f13: no they should be able to do that from login box in their http space 16:09 < f13> right 16:09 <@mmcgrath> auto populate from what data? 16:09 < mdomsch> so there'll be a web UI, and a tool to run after rsync on the mirror servers 16:10 < mdomsch> that client-side tool can walk the directory structure, see what's mirrored, and update the db 16:10 < dgilmore> f13: login.hosted.fedoraproject.org is good 16:10 <@mmcgrath> Ahh, so someone logs in and says "I have a mirror" and our side says "here's what you're mirroring" ? 16:11 < mdomsch> yeah 16:11 < mdomsch> or more likely 16:11 <@mmcgrath> will they have the ability to override what we specify? 16:11 < mdomsch> "I have a mirror, here's aht it is" 16:11 <@mmcgrath> s/specify/find/ 16:11 < mdomsch> pre-bitflip 16:12 < mdomsch> there's also a concept I'm toying with, coherent vs mirrored 16:12 < mdomsch> coherent is yesterday's data before I start mirroring today's data 16:12 < mdomsch> incoherent is some of both yesterdays and todays data 16:12 <@mmcgrath> Cool, well keep us informed. Right now our current 'check script' won't scale well we should figure out a good, reliable way to do that. 16:12 < mdomsch> and mirrored is we all agree 16:14 <@mmcgrath> Alrighty, open floor. Does anyone have anything to add before we go? 16:14 < lmacken> I haven't kept up to date on this, but has anything come of the "New bugzilla instance" discussion after the Fedora Summit? 16:14 < lmacken> Should we try and find someone to head that up? 16:14 < f13> I don't think that may be realizable for F7 release 16:14 < f13> give everything else. 16:14 < f13> mmcgrath: I'd like to get a fairly good sized Xen Guest ready for test Wort deployments 16:15 < lmacken> ok.. 16:15 <@mmcgrath> f13: is someone internally driving that or should one of us drive it? 16:15 -!- snerd [email@example.com] has joined #fedora-admin 16:15 < f13> mmcgrath: define "that" 16:15 <@mmcgrath> s/that/our own bugzilla instnace/ 16:15 < dgilmore> lmacken: AFAIK we need to have a way for bugzilla to talk to each other first 16:15 < abadger1999> Did we decide we wanted our own bugzilla? 16:16 < abadger1999> I can't see a lot of advantage to it unless we have someone who wants to hack on bugzilla for us. 16:16 < f13> mmcgrath: I don't know of anybody driving that, no. 16:16 < dgilmore> abadger1999: we want a bugzilla.fedoraproject.org but need a XML-RPC type inteface to move bugs to Red Hat's bugzilla. or upstream bug tools 16:17 < mdomsch> dgilmore, what's the driving force behind having our own bugzilla? 16:17 <@mmcgrath> the two biggest advantages are A) Single Sign On and B) being able to do something about it in the event of an outage. 16:17 <@mmcgrath> SSO for Fedora at least. 16:17 < dgilmore> taking confusion away from users. signle sign on for all fedora infrastructre 16:17 < f13> anywho, the Br^Wort code is on its way to being released, I'd like to be able to jump on it when that happens, and that means having a xen guest ready for it (RHEL5Beta?) and some NFS mounts where we can throw builds. 16:18 * mdomsch posits that b) isn't super-critical - if RH's bugzilla is down, their I/T folks shoudl be on it like ugly on an ape 16:18 <@mmcgrath> Lets just say we and RH had OpenID installed, can bugzilla use that? 16:18 < dgilmore> f13: can i cvs co it yet? 16:18 < dgilmore> f13: xen2 has some space 16:19 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: probably with work 16:19 < abadger1999> Is there work being done somewhere to create bugzilla openid auth? 16:19 < mdomsch> http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:OpenID_Auth_Plugin 16:19 < f13> dgilmore: no, the code hasn't gotten its legal review. 16:20 < abadger1999> mdomsch: Looks broken. 16:20 <@mmcgrath> We're going to love OpenID when the time comes. 16:20 < dgilmore> f13: can you let me know as soon as i can get my grubby little hands on it please 16:20 < abadger1999> ie: bugzilla has moved on and the patch needs updating 16:21 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: Why? Are there openid providers that we trust enough to let them auth for us? 16:21 * f13 thought OpenID was just a layer to some other backend, and you still need to support something like ldap 16:21 < f13> openid just is a common place/layer to have the username. 16:21 <@mmcgrath> abadger1999: possibly though I think the idea was for us to become a provider. 16:21 < abadger1999> Or are we just gatewaying from our ldap anyways... so it's just another layer? 16:22 < abadger1999> Exactly. So what does openid give us that going straight from ldap does not? 16:23 < f13> abadger1999: others could trust our Fedora OpenID source? 16:23 <@mmcgrath> abadger1999: early adoptation of a technology that is proving very popular, it'd tie in easily with mugshot for example and other sites. 16:23 < dgilmore> abstraction 16:23 <@mmcgrath> f13: yep 16:25 < abadger1999> f13: That's true if everyone starts buying in. We'll have to see. 16:25 <@mmcgrath> Alrighty, this has been a long one. Should we call a meeting end? 16:25 < dgilmore> mmcgrath: i think so 16:25 < f13> sure 16:25 -!- tibbs [n=tibbs@fedora/tibbs] has quit ["Konversation terminated!"] 16:25 <@mmcgrath> alrighty 30 16:25 < abadger1999> No further questions, your honor :-) 16:26 <@mmcgrath> 20 16:26 <@mmcgrath> 10 16:26 <@mmcgrath> 5 16:26 <@mmcgrath> ============ Meeting End =================

Time to Speak a Common Language in the IIoT
2017-08-31 Marcellus Buchheit
In our daily lives, how frequently have we heard someone say "let's make sure we are on the same page", whether it be during a personal interaction or a business communication? Pretty often I would say, because it is very easy to get caught up in our comfortable jargon and buzzwords that are prevalent in our particular environments, but not be so readily understandable by people outside of our close circles.
With the rapid growth of the Industrial IIoT and the wide diversity of stakeholders and industries involved, "getting on the same page" has become more difficult, yet more important than ever. For example, do we all share a common understanding of terms and concepts like authentication, operational technology, root of trust, vulnerability and other similar terms that are frequently mentioned in articles, technical documents, and other presentations and publications? Most likely not, and that's why the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) continues to update its IIoT Vocabulary Report.
The second version of the report (v2.0) was developed by members of the IIC Vocabulary Task Group which is comprised of software architects, business experts, and security experts and released on July 24. The report contains vocabulary terms and definitions considered relevant to the IIoT. The goal of the document is to enable all stakeholders in the IIoT ecosystem – system architects, IT managers, plant managers, and business decision makers – to communicate with each other effectively. Many of the terms were updated from the first report originally released in 2016 and new terms introduced to keep pace with the rapidly evolving IIoT nomenclature.
Anish Karmarkar, IIC Vocabulary Task Group Chair, and Director, Standards Strategy & Architecture at Oracle, said in an IIC news release: "The Industrial Internet comprises a diverse set of industries and people with various skill sets and expertise. Often, concepts and terminology in one field will have different meanings in another, leading to confusion. Industrial Internet projects succeed when participants can communicate using common vocabulary terms and definitions. The IIC Industrial Internet Vocabulary Technical Report v2.0 ensures all IIoT stakeholders are speaking the same language, avoiding what would otherwise be an IIoT 'Tower of Babel.'"
Many people think that working on a vocabulary document would be quite boring. In actuality, the opposite is true. The weekly meetings are more emotionally driven than any other industrial internet meetings that I have attended. By contrast, other meetings may have 20 attendees, but the moderator is content to generate just a few responses from the attendees. At a vocabulary meeting, however, we may sometimes have just five attendees but the moderator needs to queue the speakers because people get excited and respond to a comment at the same time! As a result, the meeting requires one's full attention (unwise to attempt to read your unrelated emails during the discussion, for example). And the content is intellectually challenging. Sometimes people will spend a long time discussing a simple phrase or even a single word, but in the end most decisions are agreed upon unanimously.
Working on the industrial internet vocabulary report is also quite stimulating. IoT continues to be over hyped in the information and industrial world and many words and phrases are "misused". By presenting a modern vocabulary with a strong logical model behind different words and combinations of words gives the Industrial Internet Consortium a more structured approach to leading the IoT world down the proper path, at least in the communication about IoT.
In all, the report provides a standard definition for more than 140 terms commonly used in IIC reference and architectural documents. The full report, including terms, definitions and sources, can be downloaded here on the IIC website.

At Build, we highlighted a few customers who are building conversational experiences using the Bot Framework to transform their customer experiences. For example, BMW discussed its work on the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant to deliver conversational experiences across multiple canvases by leveraging the Bot Framework and Cognitive Services. LaLiga built their own virtual assistant which allows fans to experience and interact with LaLiga across multiple platforms.
With the Bot Framework release in July, we are happy to share new releases of Bot Framework SDK 4.5 and preview of 4.6, updates to our developer tools, and new channels in Azure Bot Service. We'll use the opportunity to provide additional updates for the Conversational AI releases from Microsoft.
Bot Framework channels
We continue to expend channels support and functionality for Bot Framework and Azure Bot Service.
Voice-first bot applications: Direct Line Speech preview
The Microsoft Bot Framework lets you connect with your users wherever your users are. We offer thirteen supported channels, including popular messaging apps like Skype, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Kik, as well as a growing number of community adapters.
Today, we are happy to share the preview of Direct Line Speech channel. This is a new channel designed for voice-first experiences for your Bot Framework utilizing Microsoft's Speech Services technologies. he Direct Line Speech channel is a native implementation of speech for mobile applications and IoT devices, with support for Text-to-speech, Speech-to-text, and custom wake words. We're happy to share that we're now opening the preview to all Bot Framework customers.
Getting started with voice support to your bot is easy. Simply update to the latest Bot Framework SDK, configure the Direct Line Speech channel for your bot, and use the Speech SDK to embed voice into your mobile application or device today.
Better isolation for your bot: Direct Line App Service Extension
Direct Line and Webchat are used broadly by Bot Framework customers to provide chat experiences on their web pages, mobile apps, and devices. For some scenarios, customers have given us the feedback that they'd like a version of Direct Line that can be deployed in isolation, such as in a Virtual Network (VNET). A VNET lets you create your own private space in Azure and is crucial to your cloud network as it offers isolation, segmentation, and other key benefits. The Direct Line App Service Extension can be deployed as part of a VNET, allowing IT administrators to have more control over conversation traffic and improve latency in conversations due to reduction in the number of hops. Feel free to get started with Direct Line App Service Extension.
Bot Framework SDK
As part of the Bot Framework SDK 4.6 preview we updated Adaptive Dialog, which allows developers to dynamically update conversation flow based on context and events. This is especially handy when dealing with conversation context switches and interruptions in the middle of a conversation. Learn more by reading the documentation and reviewing the samples.
Continuing our commitment to the Open Source community and following on our promise to allow developers to use their favorite programing language, we updated Bot Framework Python SDK. The Python SDK now supports OAuth, Prompts, CosmosDB, and includes all major functionality in SDK 4.5. In addition we got new samples.
Addressing customers' and developers' ask for better testing tools, the July version of the SDK introduces a new unit testing capability. The Microsoft.Bot.Builder.testing package simplifies the process of unit testing dialogs in your bot. Check out the documentation and samples.
Introduced at Microsoft Build 2019, the Bot Inspector is a new feature in the Bot Framework Emulator which lets you debug and test bots on channels like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Cortana, and more. As you use the bot on specific channels, messages will be mirrored to the Bot Framework Emulator where you can inspect the message data that the bot received. Additionally, a snapshot of the bot memory state for any given turn between the channel and the bot is rendered as well.
Following enterprise customers asks, we put together a web chat sample for a single sign-on to enterprise apps using OAuth. In this sample, we show how to authorize a user to access resources on an enterprise app with a bot. Two types of resources are used to demonstrate the interoperability of OAuth, Microsoft Graph and GitHub API.
Virtual agent solution accelerator
We updated the Virtual Assistant and associated skills to enable out-of-box support for Direct Line Speech opening voice assistant experiences with no additional steps. This includes middleware to enable control of the voice being used. Once a new Virtual Assistant has been deployed, you can follow instructions for configuring Virtual Assistant with the Direct Line Speech channel. The example test harness application is also provided to enable you to quickly and easily test Speech scenarios.
An Android app client for Virtual Assistant is also available which integrates with Direct Line Speech and Virtual Assistant, demonstrating how a device client can interact with your Virtual Assistant and render Adaptive Cards.
In addition, we have added out-of-box support for Microsoft Teams ensuring that your Virtual Assistant and skills work including authentication and adaptive cards. You can follow steps for creating the associated application manifest.
The Virtual Assistant Solution Accelerator provides a set of templates, solution accelerators, and skills to help build sophisticated conversational experiences. A new Android app client for Virtual Assistant that integrates with Direct Line Speech and Virtual Assistant demonstrates how a device client can interact with your Virtual Assistant and render adaptive cards. Updates also include support for Direct-Line Speech and Microsoft Teams.
The Dynamics 365 Virtual Agent for Customer Service preview provides exceptional customer service with intelligent, adaptable virtual agents. Customer service experts can easily create and enhance bots with AI-driven insights. The Dynamic 365 Virtual Agent is built on top of the Bot Framework and Azure.

Many thanks to Tristan Morris for creating a beautiful illustrated hardcover print edition of the site |
(Sorry, this page has not yet been translated into the requested language.) Of all nuns at the temple, Yíwen and Hwídah were best known for being inseparable; for wherever one went, the other went also. So when one of their order was discovered to be dangling precariously by ropes halfway down a cliff, Yíwen and Hwídah went together to seek the counsel of the abbot of the Elephant's Footprint Clan. The abbot listened to the nuns' account with his feet propped up on his desk, polishing his spectacles with the fringe of his robe. When the nuns finished the abbot pulled a battered electronic tablet out from under a sheaf of papers and launched an abacus program. Fingers poised above the glass, he asked: "Hours required?" There was an uncomfortable pause. "A hundred pardons, sir," said Yíwen. "But are you asking us to estimate the effort of the rescue first?" "I believe that is his function," said Hwídah, "for I have heard him ask the same question of anyone who proposes changes to our software." She fixed her eyes on the abbot. "A dozen monks and nuns, working for two days, should be sufficient to re-cross the chasm, haul up the remains of the bridge, and retrieve the unfortunate nun hanging off the end." "I cannot release so many from their duties," said the abbot. "Proposals with a high level of effort require approval by the planning committee. Come back in three weeks." The nuns exchanged glances. "A hundred more pardons for my insolence, sir," said Yíwen. "But in the interim, what shall we do about the imperiled nun?" "Fling cooked fish and water-skins across the ravine," said the abbot. "Some of it is bound to fly within her grasp." "I believe," said Hwídah carefully and with evident irritation, "that to perform this activity a scant three times a day would waste many good fish and water-skins, as well as increasing the workload on the kitchen staff, the water carriers, the fishers, the tanners, and—of course—whoever is tasked to stand at the edge of the chasm and hurl comestibles until they find their target. The cumulative cost in salmon alone is likely to far exceed that of a timely rescue." The abbot smiled sadly. "When foraging for honey, the bear will happily endure a bee sting every morning of his long life. But he cannot survive a thousand stings if they come all at once." When the nuns had left the abbot's office, Yíwen asked: "Does the abbot not know that it is the principal function of bears to eat bees, and not flee from them? To which Hwídah replied: "Even so, the bear that cannot tell the difference between a dozen bees and a thousand will perish from fear in a forest dripping with sugar."

A website backup is a snapshot of all your website's important components. Website backups should include all of the following elements of your website:
- Website code files
- Any website databases
- Images
- Any add-ons, plugins, or themes used by your website
Making backups of your website is an important part of regular site maintenance. You don't want to be left without a backup of your site should something happen - such as a security compromise, or if your billing accidentally lapses long enough to cancel your account. By keeping regular backups, you ensure that you have a way to bring your website back without having to rebuild it from scratch.
Making Backups
There are several ways you can create a backup of your website.
Backup Option | When to use this option? |
Use your hosting platform's built-in backup system | This is an one-click option to make a backup of your hosting account (Linux Hosting with cPanel / Windows Hosting with Plesk / Managed WordPress). This is the most useful if you do not plan to change platforms (i.e. cPanel backups can only be restored to Linux Hosting with cPanel, Plesk backups to Windows Hosting with Plesk, etc.) |
Use the GoDaddy paid Website Backup service | The best option if you simply want your site to always be backed up on time, without having to worry about creating backups yourself. |
Manually create a backup of your site (files and database) | You can manually back up your site's files with FTP and database in phpMyAdmin. This is a more advanced option and it's useful if you need to upload this backup to a different type of hosting account. If your site doesn't have a database, back up files only. |

Selling your house in Fayetteville? Contingencies are common in traditional real estate sales, serving more often than not to protect the buyer in the transaction; therefore, you should be aware that you can negotiate with your buyer over these contingencies before signing the contract. Should the specified aspects of the contingency fail to meet the guidelines within a given timeline, the buyer may walk away or choose to renegotiate.
The contingencies buyers may add to a contract are limitless, but some are widely known and have become a standard in home sales.
While the terms of contingencies are in the process of being met, you as the seller may continue to consider other offers but cannot enter into a second contract. Regrettably, deals that fall apart over contingencies add to the number of days your home is on the market, and this often equates to a lower final sales price on a home.
We will explore what you need to know about contingencies before selling your house in Fayetteville.
The most common contingencies before selling your house in Fayetteville have to do with the inspection. Unfortunately, for many homeowners who doubt the soundness of the structure or significant systems in the home but want to sell their home, the inspection is often the cause of many sleepless nights. In addition, if an inspector detects an issue during the inspection, your buyer may ask for credit towards the repairs or request the repairs be made before closing if they don't back out of the deal altogether. One way to avoid the fearful anticipation of the outcome is to hire an inspector before listing the property. Though it may not be pretty, having a realistic picture can help you decide the best course of action for selling your home.
Your buyer may add an appraisal contingency to the contract if the home's value is in question. Should your home appraise for less than the offer, the buyer may back out, or you may attempt to renegotiate before selling your house in Fayetteville.
Sale of Current Home
Before selling your house in Fayetteville, you should know that buyers may come to the table with an offer contingent upon selling their current home, which is a great deal to ask, especially when your bills will keep rolling in each month until yours closes. Therefore, if you consider their offer, you'll want to learn more about where they are in the process of their sale and how close their closing date is.
You can expect a contingency based on your buyer's financing approval before selling your house in Fayetteville unless you received a cash offer. Therefore, pre-screening for preapproved buyers can help avoid the letdown of a lost deal. However, even when preapproved, the process of attaining a mortgage loan can be time-consuming so consider the costs of owning your property during the waiting period as you weigh these types of offers against others.

A Thai restaurant owned by a Burmese woman is going Ethiopian.What a perfect solution and such a great story. Steve Whittington helpfully pointed me to the place; I went there last night. Excellent. It had what I think was the best hummus I've ever eaten. They were more than happy to serve the kitfo properly raw; very nice. And of course Ethiopean food made with Kiwi lamb was bliss-inducing. Very obviously a family-run affair. I was very glad to see the place doing a brisk trade.
Well, at least one night a week.
Dawit Demissie, a refugee from Ethiopia, takes over the Brooklyn restaurant every Monday night, serving his traditional cuisine.
The 31-year-old arrived in New Zealand in 2002 and hopes to open his own restaurant. Mr Demissie, who works as a taxi driver and studies English, has teamed with mentor Annie Coates who runs the Golden Lotus.
"She's very special," he said. "I don't have words to describe her . . . She's like my mum."
So on Mondays, the Thai restaurant features Ethiopian cuisine and decor.
Mr Demissie designed the menu, buys the ingredients and prepares the food and has family and friends helping out waiting tables.
"I'm very happy to show my traditional food. I'm not looking for the money. It's about introducing people to my food."
After two weeks, it had been a hit. "People are asking me, 'Why just one night? We want more than one night.' So we will see how it goes."
Mr Demissie met Mrs Coates through ChangeMakers Refugee Forum, where she is also a cross-cultural worker.
Mrs Coates, who moved to Wellington from Burma in the early 1980s with her Kiwi husband, said she was giving Mr Demissie a chance so one day he could open his own restaurant. "I'm just paving the path for him . . . I like to help refugees establish and achieve something."
The restaurant was normally closed on Mondays so, when he told of wanting to open his own ethnic restaurant Mrs Coates thought it was a perfect opportunity for him to learn the trade.
I will henceforth try to plan any business trip to Wellington to fall on a Monday.
I wonder why we don't see more of this kind of solution. The host restauranteur would really need to be able to trust the folks running the one-day-a-week option, and they'd have to be comfortable that some of their irregular customers might get confused. Neither of those should be insurmountable though. Does anyone know of other places where this happens?
Over dinner, I told Matt Burgess that New Zealand needs to ease its immigration restrictions, and that if it only wants to ease them somewhat rather than across the board, it should put priority on immigration from countries whose cuisines are currently underrepresented in New Zealand. Top of the list would be Ethiopia, but also high on the list would be Afghanistan, all of South America, and other parts of North Africa. And sufficient numbers of folks from each community should be welcomed in so as to provide a cultural base for the restaurant to be able to continue without blanding things down to suit the modal Kiwi palate. Matt thought this absurd. I'll admit it's not as good as a general liberalization, but it certainly beats the status quo.
Update: One commenter at Marginal Revolution suggests a potential answer: regulations that can make it very difficult for different operators to share a kitchen.

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira to Perform at 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show
Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will officially be performing at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
After months of speculation, the "Jenny from the Block" singer confirmed she'll take the stage on February 2, 2020, to perform at the coveted event, which takes place in Miami, Florida on Sunday, February 2, 2020. But she won't be alone because Shakira is joining her, marking the first time the two Latin artists will take the stage together.
"This is happening. 02.02.20," the Hustlers actress tweeted alongside the event's date and a photo of the "Hips Don't Lie" hitmaker wearing a gold Pepsi cuff on her arm.
Meanwhile, Shakira also announced the exciting news, sharing a photo of Lopez wearing a Pepsi ring. "Get ready," she wrote, adding a world emoji.
The NFL also made it official, posting this pic of the superstars on Instagram.
Earlier this month, Lopez played coy when she was asked if she was performing this year. "I don't know. I don't yet, we will see," Lopez said on Today. "It's something obviously that I would love to do. It would be an honor to do and it would be a lot of fun. I feel like more than anything, we would have a ball doing it."

When character counts in choosing a president
| Claremont, Calif.
Americans have a good idea of how Barack Obama would do in the 2013-17 term: Just look at what he's done since 2009.
Appraising his major rivals is trickier. Should voters weigh the character of candidates or focus only on their positions? A high-minded person might say that we should just look at policy, averting our eyes from the grubby details of personality.
But if we want to ponder how a candidate would fare in office, this approach won't take us very far. Read my lips: Candidates will break their promises.
More important, they cannot anticipate all of the issues that will emerge during the next presidential term. Political scientist Amy Black points out that terrorism scarcely came up during the 2000 campaign, even though it would become the central national concern a year later.
Character counts, but let's be clear on what "character" means. When journalists use the term, they are often referring to politicians' personal lives. This kind of "character issue" can be relevant if private sins taint public behavior, as they arguably did in the Lewinsky affair, when President Clinton gave misleading testimony in federal court.
Such cases are the exception, however. Usually there is no clear link between home life and political life. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an unfaithful husband and a neglectful father, but he was still a great president.
For the purpose of choosing a chief executive, it is more important to think about public character. How have candidates conducted themselves in office, in business, or on the campaign trail? Have they shown the cardinal virtues of courage, self-control, wisdom, and justice?
Political courage is the willingness to risk one's electoral future for the sake of the greater good. In "Profiles in Courage," John F. Kennedy wrote about senators who took unpopular stands, and some of them went down to defeat.
Newt Gingrich has displayed such courage from time to time. During the 1980s and '90s, his efforts to elect a GOP House majority put him high on the Democrats' target list. He kept at it, even though they nearly denied him reelection more than once.
Nevertheless, his courage took plenty of vacations when it came to policy convictions: Expedience led him to embrace trade protectionism and pork-barrel spending.
As for another major GOP candidate, Mitt Romney's would be a short chapter in "Profiles in Courage." When he was running for senator and governor in liberal Massachusetts, he cast himself as a pro-choice moderate. When he launched his first bid for the GOP nomination for president in 2007, he became more conservative. His conversion may well be genuine, and a President Romney might actually run political risks to uphold conservative principles. But his career to date offers little precedent.
What Mr. Romney has in abundance is self-control. Thanks to his capacity for concentration and discipline, he went from earning top grades as a student to making top dollar as an executive. Everything about him – from his economic plan to his hairline – is methodically arranged. His campaign book is titled "No Apology," but a more fitting title would be "No Surprises."
If Romney is a model of self-control, then Mr. Gingrich showcases something else. If you look in a dictionary for the word "impulsive," you may find his picture.
MSNBC newscaster Joe Scarborough, who served with Gingrich in the House, recalls a colleague who said, "Newt, you can tell us what is going to happen in America 50 years from now but you never seem to have any idea what we'll be doing on the House floor next week." Earlier this year, his flighty behavior prompted most of his campaign staff to quit.
Practical wisdom, or prudence, is another problematic area for the former speaker. This virtue encompasses many things, especially the ability to make distinctions. The wise person can tell what is important from what is merely interesting, and can sense when normal risk-taking shades into recklessness.
Gingrich is a font of ideas, but many of them – such as lunar mines and space mirrors – are impractical. Bob Dole once said, "You hear Gingrich's staff has these five file cabinets, four big ones and this little tiny one. No. 1 is 'Newt's ideas.' No. 2, 'Newt's ideas.' No. 3, No. 4, 'Newt's ideas.' The little one is 'Newt's Good Ideas.' "
The former House speaker is a case study of the difference between intelligence and practical wisdom. As Tom Stoppard once wrote, "You can persuade a man to believe almost anything provided he is clever enough, but it is much more difficult to persuade someone less clever."
Romney is less clever and more prudent than Gingrich. A Romney administration would probably avoid unworkable proposals. The defect of this virtue could be a lack of creativity: There wouldn't be many wild ideas, but there might not be many innovative ones either.
Justice is about giving everyone what he or she is due. When public figures practice justice, they keep commitments to others and honor their obligations to the offices they hold.
Gingrich has had trouble in this area as well. As speaker, he became notorious among other lawmakers for pie-crust promises: easily made, easily broken. Carelessness about his ethical duties triggered an investigation that ended in his payment of a $300,000 settlement to the House ethics committee.
Romney's career has been free of such missteps, but his critics lodge another kind of charge: He made business decisions that cost many ordinary workers their jobs. His supporters reply that the layoffs were unavoidable and that he created many jobs.
The careers of Romney and Gingrich will continue to provoke debate and discussion – as well they should. We are not just picking a bundle of issue statements; we're hiring an individual to do complicated work under unpredictable conditions.
And since our very lives may depend on that person's performance, we're entitled to ask some probing questions. As journalist Jeff Greenfield once said, is there anything you don't want to know about someone who's asking you for the power to blow up the world?
John J. Pitney Jr. is the Roy P. Crocker professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California and coauthor of "American Government and Politics: Deliberation, Democracy, and Citizenship."

"Polygamists Fight to Be Seen As Part of Mainstream"
More breakaway-Mormon polygamists are going public, going to court, and apparently, meeting law-enforcement officials halfway.
By John Pomfret
November 21, 2006
SALT LAKE CITY -- In her battle to legalize polygamy, the only thing Valerie hasn't revealed is her last name. The mother of eight has been on national TV; her photo along with that of her two "sister-wives" has graced the front cover of a glossy magazine dedicated to "today's plural marriages."...
Valerie and others among the estimated 40,000 men, women and children in polygamous communities are part of a new movement to decriminalize bigamy. Consciously taking tactics from the gay-rights movement, polygamists have reframed their struggle, choosing in interviews to de-emphasize their religious beliefs and focus on their desire to live "in freedom," according to Anne Wilde, director of community relations for Principle Voices, a pro-polygamy group based in Salt Lake.
The efforts of Valerie and scores of others like her are paying off. Utah's attorney general, Mark L. Shurtleff, no longer prosecutes bigamy between consenting adults, though it is a felony. Shurtleff and his staff have established an organization, Safety Net, to bring together at monthly meetings representatives from at least five polygamous communities and law enforcement officers.
...Authorities in the state adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" stance, Shurtleff said.... One [historical] reason was that the politically powerful Mormon Church, while officially opposing polygamy, did not want the bad press strict enforcement might bring....
Shurtleff said he decided to confront polygamy's darker side and leave the more mainstream communities alone....
[Polygamous husband] Nat said he needed to be convinced [to marry additional wives]. Far from the stereotype of the patriarch, he appears bookish and perhaps a tad meek. "Usually the women tend to be the biggest advocates of this way of life and men enter it more timidly," he said. "If you are going to do it right, it's a huge responsibility."
Read the whole article.
Also: the New York Times ran an article on November 13th about the re-emergence of polygyny in Central Asia, due to a revival of Islam and a shortage of men (they leave to take jobs in Russia), and also in other Islamic societies:
Miriam Cooke, a professor of Arab culture at Duke University, said polygamy was an emerging trend across the Islamic world, including Indonesia, "where there is a huge controversy about the perceived growing trend in polygamous marriages." But she warns against treating it as a black-and-white issue.
"It is complicated," Ms. Cooke said. "There are some women who consider themselves to be feminists who think it's perfectly acceptable to be a second or third wife and to be a professional woman, a good Muslim and to have all her rights. But I would say that I would agree with the majority of Islamic feminists who consider this to be a setback."
Read the whole article.
I see any widespread trend toward one-sided polygyny as very bad news. It's not just that where men alone can take multiple partners, women are likely to end up exploited. It's also that for every man with two wives, another man will have none. (Case in point: when I got into genealogy a few years ago, I learned of my own 19th-century Mormon relatives who had two or more wives in the farmhouse and, apparently, crews of single farmhands who lived out their lives in all-male bunkhouses.)
When any society gets a surplus of unattached males, it's a strong indicator that the society is headed for two things: a major criminal-gang problem and pervasive warlike attitudes: internal gangs and militias, and/or a belligerent military (see for instance den Boer and Hudson's 2004 book Bare Branches: The Security Implications of Asia's Surplus Male Population.)
This, incidentally, is one reason why the CIA is so concerned about China in the long term. Due to selective abortion of female fetuses and infanticide of newborn girls, the sex ratio of the upcoming generation is skewed well away from nature's 50-50, toward boys many of whom will never be able to marry and will devote their lives to other kinds of attachments. Historically, gangs and armies fill this role.

State Sen. George D. Maziarz has announced that, thanks to the donation of FedEx, local Peace Corps volunteer Luis Rivera is able to ship equipment to Botswana for a team he started during his service in that country.
Rivera, a resident of the Village of Brockport, is currently serving in the Peace Corps in Botswana, Africa. While serving, he started a baseball team for local villagers to learn and play the game. However, there was need for equipment.
Through contacting local school districts and residents back in the district, donations of old equipment were made for this project, so long as it could be shipped abroad.
Rivera's family in Brockport looked into shipping and found it would cost almost $3,000 to ship all of the equipment to Botswana. After looking for numerous options, Rivera's grandfather, Mort Wexler, and mother, Lisa Rivera, contacted Maziarz for help. Through just one call, FedEx stepped up and offered to ship the items for free.
"Luis is providing great service through the Peace Corps to those who are less fortunate, and I wanted to help him in any way that I could," Maziarz said. "All it took was one phone call to FedEx and they immediately offered to assist in shipping the equipment. This project really shows the commitment of the community to help one another, through providing equipment, shipping and other assistance. I want to thank FedEx for their generosity in providing this much-needed service to Luis."
"Without the kindness shown by FedEx for their delivery services and to those who donated the equipment, Luis would have never been able to bring this loved American game to those where he is serving in the Peace Corps," said Lisa Rivera. "I also want to thank Sen. Maziarz for making the connection with FedEx and helping to make this all possible. The senator and FedEx commitment to the residents of this area is clear, and we would not have the opportunity to help the less fortunate without them."
FedEx picked up the shipment directly from the Rivera home, with an estimated arrival date of July 26 - enough time for the baseball program to start in August.

Tabernacle Baptist Church of Utica, NY, has received a grant of $47,425. to enable its Pastor, The Rev.Dr. Mark S. Caruana, D.Min. '03, to participate in the 2012 National Clergy Renewal Program funded by the Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Inc. It is one of 147 congregations across the country that will support their ministers in the program, which allows pastors to step back from their busy lives and renew their spirits for the benefit of their ongoing ministries.
During Dr. Caruana?s thirteen year tenure, Tabernacle Baptist Church has welcomed hundreds of ethnic Karen refugees from Burma (Myanmar) into its congregation. Pastor Caruana?s September ? December 2013 sabbatical will provide him with the opportunity to immerse himself in the history and culture of Burma, the experience of Baptist Christians in Burma, and the experience of other Baptist congregations in the U.S. that are welcoming refugees from Burma into their fellowships. His plans include an extended visit to Burma in late 2013.
Hartford Seminary wishes to congratulate Dr. Caruana on this prestigious award.

Ankle Tenotomy
Ankle tenotomy is a surgical procedure to lengthen the Achilles tendon enabling the ankle to flex upward and allowing the heel to be placed flat on the floor. It is indicated in patients that have an abnormally developed Achilles tendon or one that has become shortened and difficult to stretch. The surgery is done to restore the normal range of motion of the ankle.
It is commonly indicated in the treatment of the below conditions when conservative measures such as physical therapy and splinting have failed:
Clubfoot: A developmental disorder where one is born with one or more abnormally short ankle muscles which turn the feet inward. Ankle tenotomy is usually performed after the Ponseti method to treat clubfoot.
Contractures: Muscles become stiff after a period of immobilization
Ankle tenotomy is performed under local anesthesia. A knife is inserted into the skin at the region of the tendon and cuts are made. As the cut edges draw apart, the tendon lengthens and heals in this position. For more severe cases, your child's doctor may expose the tendon through an incision under general anesthesia and cut the tendon, which is then joined by sutures to form a lengthened tendon. Casts are then applied with the tendon in the correct anatomic (stretched) position. After two to three weeks, your child's doctor will remove the cast and order physical therapy to improve ankle strength and keep the tendon stretched.
As with all surgical procedures, ankle tenotomy may be associated with certain complications such as nerve and blood vessel damage, infection, over-lengthening of the tendon or shortening of the tendon as your child grows which may require a second surgery.
