If I had U girl, I wouldn’t be one.
Apparently the Fairfield Inn knows me as the Playa of the Year, since this is the suite into which they booked me for my stay in Raleigh: Awww, yeah.
URGENT: Call for Ontario Ambassadors.
If you’re a Fedora Ambassador in the Toronto/Ontario area and you plan on being at the Ontario Linux Fest on October 24th — or if you know someone who is — please get in touch with me. You can email me at pfrields fedoraproject org. I know that Fedora Ambassador …
UTOSC 2009, Day 3.
I’m sitting in the pleasant (and free wifi-equipped!) Salt Lake City airport, waiting for my plane back to DC and my home and family. I’m really looking forward to seeing them for dinner and a few hours of together time, before I motor off to Raleigh early tomorrow morning. Yesterday …
Greatly exaggerated, no. 81.
It was good of Phoronix to clarify their story implying that Nouveau, the open source driver for NVidia graphic cards, was somehow dead or dormant. One thing that had me scratching my head, though — isn’t this open source, guys? I mean, you could just look at the source to …
UTOSC 2009, Day 2.
After this morning’s activities, I spent a little time catching up on emergency email and did a bit of polishing of my slides for my talk later today. At some point I realized my head felt like it was going to explode, which seemed incredibly unfair given the fact that …
UTOSC 2009, Day 1.9.
Eventful morning already from UTOSC 2009. So far today I’ve had a chance to meet Stormy and say hi, and then traipsed off with her and joined a few other friends from UTOS for a meeting with Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon and some of his staff members. They …
UTOSC 2009, Day 1.
This blog post will skip the descriptive narrative, and behave in a little more cut and dried fashion. It’s late and I am out of steam after a tremendous day here at UTOSC 2009. Up early this morning, got breakfast, caught a ride with Doran “fozzmoo” Barton, and then managed …
UTOSC 2009, Day 0.
Today I drove up to Washington after lunch to catch a plane to Utah for UTOSC 2009. The drive was pretty uneventful, and only about a quarter mile of stopped traffic near the Prince William Parkway and then a brief pause north of Woodbridge — it was practically paradise as …
You’re gonna need a quality shoe.
This next couple of months will find me gone practically more often than not. My upcoming schedule looks like this for now: Today until Sunday, Oct. 11: SLC, Utah for UTOSC 2009 Monday, Oct. 12 – Wednesday, Oct. 14: Raleigh, NC for meetings at Red Hat (with Community Architecture team, …
Odds and ends, no. 55.
Mike Bonnet has a very useful script for downloading koji scratch builds here. The meetbot will congenially let you chair someone who’s not in a meeting — i.e. the wrong IRC nick. This can be embarrassing when that person takes over chair duties, and not only doesn’t know that action …
