Ambassador EventBox — Making the Rounds through North America
With some left over funds from the Fedora booth at UTOSC, I created the first Ambassador EventBox. Not that there wasn’t an event box before, but it wasn’t formal and was pretty trashed as a cardboard box moving from place to place would.
It turns out to be a smash hit in North America. After only [...]
Screencast: gnome-do v0.5 for Fedora 10
Back in July, I built gnome-do from scratch, identifying and helping get a few bugs worked out along the way. It was all in an effort to create a screencast on the future version of gnome-do for Fedora 10. Gnome-do appears to be based upon Quicksilver from Mac, but gnome-do is bound to surpass it [...]
ScreenCast: Fedora Talk with Twinkle
If you haven’t heard, Fedora now has a VOIP (Voice Over IP) server called Fedora Talk. Information about it can be found at talk.fedoraproject.org.
Essentially, the goal of Fedora Talk is to make it easier for use Fedorans to talk with one another, hold conference calls and accommodate impromptu conversations that need to happen over voice. [...]
FAD NA Day 1
Well, after staying up until around 4am hacking (2am with David and Cade), I finally finished my presentations slides and went to sleep for a measly 3hrs 45mins. But that was enough to get me through the rest of the day. And what a day it was!
When I arrived downstairs just after 8am, people were [...]
OLF Day 1; FADNA Day -1
Well, the incrementing continues and we’re closing in on the end of our time in Ohio. I’ve really enjoyed the conference so far and the Fedora Ambassadors are awesome! 13 of us showed up to the booth (pictures coming later) and we interacted with hundreds upon hundreds of interested folks.
As usual, the biggest hit was [...]
Ohio Linux Fest Day 0; FADNA Day -2
I arrived last around 5:30 at the Columbus airport. Scott Williams (aka vwbusguy) was on his way, but would be another hour, so I sat down and worked on my presentation for FADNA. Seems my training skills paid off as CMH had a fairly empty set of gates and I could practice my presentation to [...]
Going to Ohio LinuxFest? Volunteer!
In last night’s FAmNA meeting, we discussed the fact that nobody had remembered to register to help at the Fedora booth at OLF. David brought it up and within a few minutes we had most of the spots filled.
As an event organizer, I understand the importance of having a booth manned at all times. If [...]
