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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fedora Classroom: May 3 classes with a new format and schedule

This month’s Fedora Classroom will be held this Saturday/Sunday (actually it’s all Sunday UTC time).  We’ve got four fun presentations lined up for you with a new format to boot. Essentially, the new idea is that we’re going to let the presenters be flexible with their schedules.  Thus presentations can happen any time in a [...]
