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 [...]

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 [...]

FUDCon F11: Day 3

9:45am: Awake.  Stare at the ceiling for a short while.  Climb out of bed.  Look out the window and discover the few inches of snow that has accumulated during the night.
10:15am: Finish packing my gear, wake Jennifer.
10:50am: Head down to the hotel lobby and drop off our bags at the bell desk.
10:55am: Find a restaurant [...]

FUDCon F11: Day 2 (Part 2)

5:45pm: Paul ends his remarks and we depart to the hotel and FUDPub.  I’m rather tired, not getting much sleep this weekend has worn me down.  I tell Dave that I am going to go crash for an hour and he promptly calls me a wimp!
6:12pm: In hotel room, snuggled up to Jennifer.  Still debating [...]

FUDCon F11: Day 2 (Part 1)

8:05am: Light flutters into the room.  More likely, I notice it at this time, it’s probably been light for some time.  Climb out of warm bed, boy am I tired.  Today is the bar camp and I have audio recording to setup.
8:35am: Arrive at MIT for the FUDCon bar camp, grab a muffin, some juice [...]

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 time, I was [...]

FUDCon F11: Not in Boston? Listen Live, Watch Videos After!

Starting tomorrow at approximately 10:00 am, streaming will (hopefully) commence on approximately 4-5 sessions.  Most sessions will be recorded with cheap $7 microphones, but the most popular (as voted by FUDCon attendees) will be recorded with a mixer and wireless microphone.
Streams will be available at http://stream.utos.org:8080, look for the links to be semi-descriptive.  We are [...]

FUDCon F11, Day 0

12:05am MST: The beginning of FUDCon for me.  I hopped a plane (along with my girlfriend, Jennifer), from SLC to JFK.
6:00am EST (4:00am MST): Arrive at JFK, fairly uneventful flight, even though it was pretty full.  Wandered around near our gate for 20 minutes or so.  We then found the most uncomfortable spot on the [...]
