Regarding an earlier post, I made some changes to my NetworkManager dispatcher script. The problem with the original was that it reset defer_transports when any interface went down, without regard for redundancy. Since I use my laptop in my home office, it’s often plugged into a wired network. When I …
From the “likely playing catchup” files: The Git User’s Survey for 2009 is now available online. We have a lot of git gurus in Fedora, so if you do use it, go take the survey. It takes only 5 minutes and can help the git developers with future roadmapping. I …
There’s a nice entry on the Red Hat press blog about some of the interesting items that went on at FUDCon Berlin 2009. FUDCon is a great place for us to renew social bonds with our fellow Fedora contributors. But it’s also a place where, first and foremost, we try …

The days of summer may be hot, but they’re anything but lazy in Fedora. The Fedora 12 release, as many community members already know, is a somewhat tighter schedule overall. We had so many features in the Fedora 11 release, some of them particularly extensive and complex, that we drove …
Sorry this comes late. I took a couple of days off after the Goodwill Tour o’ Doom to unwind with family and my blogging suffered as a result. FUDCon Day 2 was our BarCamp, which we organized the evening of Day 1. Day 3 was a continuation of some hackfests …
