Potential project for Fedora Infrastructure newcomers: Deploy Review Board for use by hosted projects

[Jeffrey Ollie]

Hello newcomers to Fedora Infrastructure!

There have been quite a few of you popping up lately, but there hasn't
been a lot for you to do yet.  Well here's your chance.  I'd like to
investigate adding Review Board
<http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/> as a service for Fedora Hosted
projects.  Review Board is a web based tool for managing code reviews.
 If this is something that you'd like to work on, here's an outline of
what needs to happen.

1. Package Review Board for Fedora (and EPEL too, as Fedora
Infrastructure typically deploys services on RHEL 5).  This will be
useful even if we decide not to deploy Review Board for Fedora Hosted.
2. Install & configure Review Board on a test system and figure out
how to Puppetize the configs.
3. Get feedback from the community and decide if we want to deploy as
production.
4. Assist in the deployment to production and help with day-to-day management.

If you're interested, here's the ticket I'm using to track progress:

 Review Board is a tool for managing code reviews.  Digium has been
 successfully using it to review code submissions for Asterisk for several
 months now.  It would be very useful to offer this to hosted projects for
 their use.

 Digium's installation:

 Review Board itself would need to be packaged, but it appears that all of
 the dependencies are already in Fedora:

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then
I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the
terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve
them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and
unfairness of the universe."
