(I’m not ready for International Talk Like a Pirate day to be over, apparently, given the subject line.) Spot, in response to your insightful post, your experience at Atlanta Linux Fest seems a bit different from the many distribution-agnostic events that happen every year, like SELF, UTOSC, LinuxTag, and Ontario …
What a lovely day we had for our Software Freedom Day 2009 celebration. It was about 68F by the time we set up in the morning, and the weather would stay mostly sunny and 75F all afternoon. We set up our tables in the small courtyard in front of the …
Tomorrow I’ll be gearing up for Software Freedom Day here in my hometown, along with a bunch of dedicated friends from FredLUG. We’re going to have balloons, a free raffle for some swank gear, and stickers, temporary tattoos and CDs and DVDs of Fedora. We’ll also have bunched of copies …
Well, as everyone probably knows we’ve got coming up in December the North American edition of the always joyous Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) in Toronto, Canada. And with that comes the somewhat less joyous task of figuring out how we can squeeze the maximum number of Fedora contributors …
The recent mockups of an improved Anaconda storage UI are really interesting. In the back of my mind, it did get me thinking, though. These mockups have a lot of really juicy information for knowledgeable users. For the most part, the information shown is going to be really helpful for …

I meant to post this a few days ago and time got away from me here at the Summit: A quick shout out to Dimitris and our good friends at Indifex — looks like there’s yet another major project, Moblin, using Transifex for translation infrastructure. Nice going guys!
Tomorrow morning I’ll be heading down to the Richmond airport to head out for the world-renowned, forward-looking, future-proofing, often imitated, never equaled Red Hat Summit in Chicago. I’m giving a talk on Wednesday afternoon on how Fedora fits into the overall Linux development strategy at Red Hat. But I’ll also …
Yesterday I received one of these. Fedora 11 installed beautifully on it, without a hiccup — I used the process I outlined in my last post, in fact. The results speak for themselves: I may be a bit gushing about it, but it’s the first truly performance-oriented, new computer I’ve …
A few months ago I discovered a neat trick you can play in Anaconda, the Fedora installer, and thought I would spend time writing it up and passing it on. Imagine you have a USB hard disk with the release tree available. It doesn’t matter what release, but let’s assume …
