Fedora has been running IRC classes for some time in the #fedora-classroom channel on IRC Freenode. Classes are scheduled for this weekend, and they’re at a convenient time for people in the APAC (Asia/Pacific) region to hold informative sessions with Fedora contributors. The classroom “days” for both Saturday and Sunday …
Yes, it’s a little late because of some fumbling in the wake of a great event, but we have a survey available for the FUDCon that happened in Boston from January 9-11. In the case of this survey, there are a number of important data points we’re capturing, such as …
It’s good to see that the kernel developers as always are seeing that we get the latest file system support. The exFAT format is apparently something that Microsoft is pushing for large removable media. Of course Linux will be there to provide compatibility for those of us who prefer freedom. …
