Agile Roots: Day 1

As a person who runs a conference and community events in Utah, I have to first give a hand to the organizers of Agile Roots.  They have done an amazing job with the venue, schedule, organization, marketing and all of the other difficult things required to make a great conference.  A big thumbs up from [...]

Even though I’m extremely involved in the organization and management of the Utah Open Source Conference, I’ve got a big project in which I’m interested.  It’s the new concept around Fedora-Event-Splash (or FES, pronounced FEZ).

VoIP: Fedora Talk gets talky!

Not that I was bored, I wasn’t!  Not that I didn’t have anything else to do, I do!  Not that there isn’t more to do, there is!  It’s just that I have been spending a little bit more time using Fedora Talk lately and I noticed a few things were missing. First, there wasn’t (and [...]

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 [...]

Dear Lazyweb: Can I have that as a CMS?

So I was following up on a talk I had seen at djangocon this year, and ran across this site by Cal Henderson – http://www.iamcal.com/ The interesting part about this site is that he has about 10-12 different elements on his front page sharing information about what was going on, etc. in his life.  I [...]
