I was just looking at the proposed Fedora 10 features category on the wiki. There are over a dozen cool features being set up for this next release. (If I read the pages right, some may even be finished already in Rawhide.) Check some of these out: Better LIRC support …
Reminder to those of you who were busy having a wonderful weekend: There’s a public Board IRC meeting today at 1800 UTC. You can find all the details in the link, and background here. We usually hold these meetings monthly, although there was an interruption last month for a number …
I was surprised and overjoyed to find out that one of my favorite novelists, Nelson DeMille, is returning to catch his readers up on the cast of one of his best books, The Gold Coast. The end of October will see the publication of
Yesterday was a pretty good day for me, dad-wise. I took Evie to see “Wall-E,” which, as has been noted everywhere, was completely charming and wonderful. In other words, pretty much de rigeur for the wonderful folks at Pixar. In the evening I carted her over to the Y, because …

(Apologies for this being late — the announcement isn’t news now, but at least some of the follow-up is fresh.) As seen here and here: Tom “spot” Callaway, Jesse Keating, and Seth Vidal have been elected to full two-release terms on the Fedora Project Board. Jef Spaleta has been re-elected …
The community came up with a list of over 60 possible names for the Fedora 10 release. That’s a list that’s far too long to send to Red Hat’s legal department for trademark searching, so to conserve some time and resources, the Board voted, using the new election system, on …
