Fedora Classroom: April 4-5, 2009 – We need your presentation

March 30, 2009 – 11:11 am

Well, it’s that time of the month again, this coming weekend April 4 & 5 will be the sessions for the Fedora Classroom. This month’s sessions are perfect for those in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Give a Presentation

If you are interested in helping us out with a presentation on anything related to Fedora or Free Software, we’d love to see it in the Fedora Classroom this weekend.  If you are not familiar with the MediaWiki syntax, just add a note on the wiki page or contact Kevin Fenzi (nirik) or me (herlo).

New MC

In addition, we have a new Master of Ceremonies for this session.  Max Spevack will head this up and help keep things on time.  We’d like to thank him for performing this vital service.

More Volunteers Needed

  • If you are interested in helping out with the IRC logs
  • We need you help us to spread the word about upcoming Fedora Classroom events.
    • Blog about it
    • Tell your friends
    • Invite someone to teach a class

If you can help or know someone who can help, feel free to contact either Kevin Fenzi (nirik) or me (herlo) and we’ll give you the low down.

Cheers,

Herlo

LazyWeb: What is that . doing there?

March 27, 2009 – 9:34 pm

So tonight I was sitting there tonight getting ready to setup cobbler for another installation source, and I noticed something very odd.

# ls -l /root
total 88
-rw-------. 1 root root  1176 2008-11-23 17:22 anaconda-ks.cfg
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  4096 2008-12-14 18:37 bin

See the . ? Where you ask?  Look closer!

drwxr-xr-x. <– look, there it is!!  At first, I thought it was just one file, but then I noticed it other places, then I looked further, and it seems to be everywhere.

What is up with that? Where does this come from?  What is it for?  LazyWeb, can you help me?

Cheers,

Herlo

Fedora Classroom: This weekend, presenters needed

March 2, 2009 – 11:08 pm

Hi all,

It’s me, your friendly neighborhood Fedoran asking all of you to consider giving an irc class this month in the Fedora Classroom.  It doesn’t matter how complex the presentation is, just that you can help share some knowledge about free software.

If you are interested in participating, sign up today, and let myself (herlo) or Kevin (nirik) know in #fedora-classrom on irc.freenode.net.

Looking forward to seeing all the great presentations this weekend.

Cheers,

Herlo
