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 [...]

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 New [...]

RE: Applebee’s meetings should never be this fun!

All I’ve got to say is “I had nothing to do with starting it, but it happened anyway.  And I had fun!” Cheers, Herlo PS – I’m awaiting myspace friend approval for those in the know.

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 road. [...]

UTOSF HackNight – Tonight: Possible Change of Venue

Well, it appears that I am one of the many victims of Qwest and their lurid line noise issues, thus no DSL for me! Because of this, I’m in the process of scrambling for a new location for our UTOSF HackNight this evening. If anyone who’s coming would like to donate their location, or know [...]

I’m Famous! Woohoo!

So for those of you who follow this blog, its not the first time I’ve done shameless self-promotion. However, in this case, its only after the fact that someone else thought I was important. I want to say thank you to the CodeAway and their organizers (Matthew Reinbold, and others, I’m sure) for putting me [...]

An interesting tool I came across in the last week or so is this week’s Program of the Week: Agave, from the GNOME Community. Recently, we’ve been working on a new logo for the Utah Open Source Foundation, and needed to come up with some simple color schemes that would work well with our logo. [...]
