Debian Booth at DevConf India
by Abhijith PA 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hello. There will be a Debian booth at the upcoming DevConf India ( https://devconf.info/in/2019) 2019 conference. "DevConf.IN is the annual Developers' Conference organized by Red Hat in India. It is meant to provide a platform to the local FOSS community participants to come together and engage in knowledge sharing through technical talks, workshops, panel discussions, hackathon and such activities." So far two people agreed to volunteer in the booth. It'll be lovely if some more people can join. There are plenty of opportunities for you to help like answering questions from visitors, help in selling goodies (haven't decided), bring some goodies yourself to the booth. If you have a Debian standee banner (or design) and debian stickers please contact. Otherwise, If you are attending the DevConf, please pass by the booth. --abhijith

Crowd funding Free Software powered, community run, federated social media host poddery.com
by Pirate Praveen 03 May '19

03 May '19

Folks, we have been running poddery.com for last 6 years, started as a diaspora pod, with xmpp and matrix added later, all using the same username and password. When a lot of computing moved to "cloud", we have to step up our game to have Free Software based services and collective control. Since social media has network effect (you have to use the services used by your friends), it is much harder to get people to switch, though technically it is much simpler compared to GNU/Linux installation in the early days. It is fully funded and managed by the Free Software Community of India. I'm part of the team that runs this service. Now we need your help to make our third crowd funding campaign successful. Contribute and share the campaign. https://fund.poddery.com/

Could somebody re-certify it for the next 3 months. https://letsencrypt.org/ There was also some discussion on having automated renewal by looking at scripts available at github.com and using one of them. Looking forward to the renewal . -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C

The meetup could used to think when we have either a mini-debconf or a debutsav either in Pune or Mumbai ?

Mailman came to life after some issues.
by Abhijith PA 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hello FSCI mailing list service was deployed in 1 July 2018. From the start list was struggling with DKIM validation. All the domain hosted with lists.fsci.org.in has DKIM signature and it signs (its own) outgoing mails ie notifications, digest mails. But Mailman adds header, footer etc to the subscriber's original mail which breaks the DKIM signature causing mails to end up in spam/junk box (especially in gmail). This mailing list runs on Debian unstable. Around October the unattended upgrades[1] automatically updated mailman3 which caused several services within mailman to crash. I had no idea what happened until Praveen investigated and told me so. We quickly updated every piece of mailman3 and restarted the service and brought web, archiving services back to life but the most vital role of mailman was not working ie distributing emails. Malayalees would enjoy following line for this situation. റെക്കോർഡിങ് വർക്ക് ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല എന്നായിരുന്നു കംപ്ലൈന്റ്റ് I tried every suggestion I got from forums, blogs but no joy. I left it there and carried away with other duties of my life. The first issue shows lack of sysadmin magical skills. The second one shows my carelessness. Point is, more volunteers needed. Recently someone posted in our matrix channel questioning the stability of FSCI's services. This gave me a fire to start on these issues again. The first approach I took was to take the back up and build from the scratch as I forgot where I stopped. But it is not a good approach as I couldn't find the root cause and if the same issue pops again in future I can only do the same. So I tried harder in investigating logs. I was also getting help from upstream mailman devs. A lot of mails exchanged on their list and off list. While working on this, I got a lead to the DKIM issue. Thanks to this[2] blog. I finally figured out to sign every outgoing mail from the server. Today this[3] thread got my attention. I looked through templates of lists.fsci.org.in. and deleted the custom one and changed permissions of generic ones (From 3.2.0 every lists/domain templates can be customized from webapp) Finally mailman is distributing mails. Thanks to all who helped me. For now every known issue is cleared. ..
