FUDCon F11: Day 1

8:05am: Sleep is interrupted by brain doing mental exercises about the Fedora AmbassadorKit hackfest.  Also interrupted by incredible urge to pee. 8:30am: Decided I was finally awake enough to write FUDCon F11: Day 0 post. 9:00am: Packed everything I needed (or thought I needed) into my backpack.  This took incredibly long. 9:10am: Somewhere around this [...]

If you are interested in obtaining some pressed media to distribute at an event or Local User Group (LUG), please make a request on the new FAmNA Resource Request tracker.  (Special thanks to Jon Stanley). Make sure to include [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
