Fedora Activity Days 1-3 – A ‘Frank (aka Francis) the Fedora pwnie’ report
It appears to me that the weekend in Raleigh went rather well. Even with the difficult weather conditions on Saturday into Sunday morning, I feel the result was a ’smashing’ success! There were so many things being accomplished that I couldn’t keep track of them all. I will try to make a fairly complete list [...]
Events Fedora Activity Day: Day 0
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend ever since Mel Chua suggested it back in mid-December. A Fedora Activity Day to revamp how Fedora manages events, deals with events is something that definitely has been needed for some time. I would say that the Fedora Ambassadors have been doing a bang-up job going from event-to-event [...]
FUDCon F13: Another SNAFU
As some of you may know, I have been working hard to get the Fedora 12 media ready for delivery. It’s been replicated, the sleeves printed and the boxes are waiting at our CD Replication vendor. However, even though we thought we had covered all of our bases, we missed some details with regard to [...]
News: Fedora 12 is NOW AVAILABLE!!
I’ve been running Fedora 12 for about a month now (Beta first, Alpha before that). It’s the best Fedora to date.
Everything Just Works(TM).
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a system working with great sound, awesome graphics and very usable GNOME and KDE desktops. I really like the new NetworkManager features and [...]
SLLUG Daytime: RSSCloud, what is it and why should I care?
This month we’re getting back on track with the Salt Lake Linux User Group Daytime meeting at BetaLoft. Our presenter this month is C.R. Oldham and he had this to say about the presentation:
RSSCloud is an open protocol which creates a loosely-coupled Twitter-like network of people and 140 character status messages. In plainer language, it [...]
Fedora FAD @ UTOSC 2009: Fedora-Event-Splash (aka FES)
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).
This project was dreamed up by Mr. Ian Weller and he graciously let me tag along to get the thing going. [...]
Git Hooks: Making the awesomest RCS ever even better!
Over the past month or so, I’ve been really digging into git. It’s quite the revision control system (RCS) and has some seriously awesome tools to do just about anything with your data. My latest project has been around my semi-new job at Backcountry.com as a Senior Linux Administrator. Essentially, my entire job right now [...]
Wow: UTOSC 2009 is actually 2 weeks away!
I am amazed by the UTOS Core Team and all of the work these awesome volunteers have put in to make the Utah Open Source Conference a success! I just can’t believe it is exactly 2 weeks away from conference time. I am so excited! Just have to finish my bathroom in the next few [...]
FUDCon F13: Toronto, there are too many paths!
At the moment, I’m committed to heading up to the Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) this December 5-7. And while it’s promising to be a blast with all of my Fedora friends, great hackfests, sessions and even a project I’ve decided to start working on.
I have been looking at airfare, hotel and other travel [...]
Software Freedom Day: What I’ll be Doing!
So tomorrow is Software Freedom Day. And because I’ve been a big slacker this year, I didn’t get the time to set up an event as I had hoped. However, because others in our community are awesome and didn’t want to see this day go completely to the Microsofties and non-free software folks, there’s going [...]
