Fedora 28 : Testing Blender 2.80 .

I tested the new Blender 2.80 alpha 2 version and is working well.
You can start to download it from the official download page.
The next step: unarchive the tar.bz file and run the blender from the newly created folder.
I try to create a package but seems the tool not working with the .spec file.
This is a screenshot with this Blender 3D software running in my Fedora 28.

Fedora 28 : Strife another golang game framework.

Today I tested this 2D game framework named Strife.
You can read more about this from the official website.
The development team tells us:
  "This a work in progress. It provides a very minimal toolset for rendering shapes, images, and text as well as capturing user input."
This game framework uses SDL2 libraries.
Strife is open source and available under the MIT license.
Let's start with installation into Fedora 28 distro.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install SDL2-devel.x86_64
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install SDL2_ttf-devel.x86_64 
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install SDL2_image-devel.x86_64 
[mythcat@desk ~]$ go get github.com/felixangell/strife
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/felixangell/strife

I test one example from installation folder with particles:

[mythcat@desk strife]$ cd example/particles
[mythcat@desk particles]$ go run particles.go

This is result of the running example:

Fedora 28 : Web development with Nikola and python.

The development team comes with this info about Nikola:
Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of do it (which is rebuilding only what has been changed).
I tested today with Fedora 28 and python version 2.7.15.
If you take a look at Nikola handbook, you will see all the features, options and settings you need for web development.
The installation is very simple:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip install Nikola --user
Collecting Nikola

Fedora 28 : Integrate tinymce editor with Fedora and Django.

This is a raw tutorial about how to integrate the python module named django-tinymce with a Django project.
I used the raw word because you need to have a working Django project into your Fedora distro.
You can see my old tutorial about Django to see how to build a Django project.
About this python module, you can read more here.
The django-tinymce is a Django application that contains a widget to render a form field as a TinyMCE editor.
I have a project named trydjango with a Django application named products into my django folder.
I used activate command to activate my virtual environment:

[mythcat@desk django]$ source bin/activate

I install this python module named django-tinymce:

(django) [mythcat@desk django]$ pip install django-tinymce4-lite
Collecting django-tinymce4-lite
...
Installing collected packages: jsmin, django-tinymce4-lite
Successfully installed django-tinymce4-lite-1.7.2 jsmin-2.2.2

Let's see my folder project django named src:

(django) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd src/
(django) [mythcat@desk src]$ ll
total 136
-rw-r--r--. 1 mythcat mythcat 135168 Sep 28 12:21 db.sqlite3
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 mythcat mythcat    541 Sep 23 18:56 manage.py
drwxrwxr-x. 4 mythcat mythcat    142 Sep 26 21:45 pages
drwxrwxr-x. 4 mythcat mythcat    142 Sep 28 18:30 products
drwxrwxr-x. 3 mythcat mythcat    112 Sep 28 12:04 templates
drwxrwxr-x. 3 mythcat mythcat     93 Sep 28 12:14 trydjango

The installation is simple and star with to your settings.py and url.py file:

(django) [mythcat@desk src]$ cd trydjango/
(django) [mythcat@desk trydjango]$ vim settings.py 

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'products',
    'tinymce',
]
(django) [mythcat@desk trydjango]$ vim urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

from pages.views import home_view, about_view, contact_view
from products.views import product_detail_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('about/', about_view),
    path('contact/',contact_view),
    path('admin/',admin.site.urls),
    path('product/',product_detail_view),
    path(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),

This is my change I used to add the tinymce editor into my django application named products.

(django) [mythcat@desk products]$ vim models.py
from django.db import models
from tinymce.models import HTMLField

# Create your models here.
class Product(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
#    description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    description = HTMLField()
    price = models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=1000)
    summary = models.TextField(default='this is cool!')

You can see I used HTMLField and default come is TextField.
The result of this changes can see into the next output:

Fedora 28 : Show a video with Google Apps Script.

It's not a tutorial specific to Fedora's distribution, but many users of this are programmers or developers and its tutorial is very useful.
The tutorial is about how to display a video in a sidebar on a Google document.
I used Google Apps Script to do this.
You can see the tutorial here.
This is a screenshot with the output of this tutorial:

Fedora 28 : Add the Fedora logo to the Google document.

I've been able to progress with Google Apps Script.
The latest tutorial with number 008.
This tutorial is about adding a logo and creating an add-on to a document in google drive.

Fedora 28 : Start a service daemon with Python.

In this tutorial I will starting one service using systemctl , python and systemd. First, you need to create a file named testpython.service .

[mythcat@desk system]# cd /etc/systemd/system/
[root@desk system]# vim testpython.service

This file is a configuration file for this service.

[Unit]
Description=Python Service
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/mythcat/test_service.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Create the python file for this service. I named test_service.py .

[root@desk system]# exit
exit
[mythcat@desk system]$ cd ~
[mythcat@desk ~]$ vim test_service.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import logging
import time

logging.basicConfig(level="INFO")

while True:
    logging.info("Hi")
    time.sleep(3)

Change permissions file for this python file and testpython.service, see:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ chmod 764 test_service.py

Because you run this service with systemd then selinux will send you error, fix that:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ chcon -t bin_t ~/test_service.py

Reload all services and start your service with this commands:

[root@desk system]# systemctl daemon-reload
[root@desk system]# systemctl start  testpython.service
[root@desk system]# systemctl status  testpython.service
● testpython.service - Python Service
