Mind Maps: The Utah Open Source Foundation

The Utah Open Source Foundation “Mind Map”
After creating the Fedora Project Mind Map, I was better able to understand how UTOS was currently structured.  I was able to put together the main pieces pretty quickly, although it seems there are several gaps in my thought process still.  For that reason, I’m opening the UTOS structure [...]

Mind Maps: The Fedora Project

Recently, I’ve been plagued with trying to come up with an organizational model for the Utah Open Source Foundation and it’s relationship to the Utah Open Source Conference.  This is in addition to the new Non-Profit structure we’re building.
To that end, I created a very shabby hierarchical structure which I passed around a week ago [...]

Wait for it… Wait for it… NOW!!

In the next 3 weeks, I will be among the busiest people I know.  Probably the only people busier are Presidential hopefuls, Olympic organizers and sadly, those fighting in Georgia.  The reason I am writing this post is to help me remember what I have left to complete between now and the Utah Open Source [...]

Okay! Who do I blame?

While I am working on a post-fudcon report.  Its kind of hard to work when the network continues to drop packets.  Currently, I’m on-site in Los Angeles, teaching a course.  Why, oh why does this happen?
Cheers,

Is Google Calendar really that Lucky?

I was perusing today, and maybe its just because its April Fools day and I’ve not posted, but I thought this was pretty hilarious…
If you click to add a new calendar item into Google Calendar, you get a new button “I’m Feeling Lucky”…

After clicking this new button I recognized, here’s what I got:

Woohoo!  So right [...]

Google Summer of Code: Jumping into the fire

So I’ve done it.
Yes, I really have done it this time!
Well, maybe…time will tell.
I’ve gone and posted an idea for a project on the Fedora wiki page for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), but that’s not all, no!
In addition, I took the time to apply to be a mentor at the Google Summer of [...]

Fedora, Getting Involved Guide (GIG)

Recently, I’ve been very interested in getting involved more and more with the Fedora Project.  In fact, the latest project in which I’m involved, the Getting Involved Guide (GIG).
I started with this guide because my so-called friend Jared Smith (hi Jared!), introduced me to the original creator of this document, Paul Frields at FUDCon a [...]

POW: Gobby, the little engine that could! (collaborate)

Its been a very long time since I’ve done the Product of the Week, so I am going to change the name to Product of Whenever. This suits me better.
In July of 2001, I was introduced to a little editing tool many of us now know fondly, the wiki. I was travelling to [...]

Being “off-the-road” has its challenges

I will be home for the entire week next week, which is the first time that’s happened this month. Not that I am complaining, but once I get home I have a very long laundry list of items to complete and only 6.5 days to complete it in until I go back on the [...]
