(Only by happenstance is the title seemingly connected to this entry.) I know that earlier Luca Foppiano pointed out this story posted on Mark Shuttleworth’s blog. I’m glad to see that Mark is taking seriously the need for any serious Linux distribution — and certainly any that has one eye …
I have about a dozen things I need to blog about, but with time right now for only a short blurb, I wanted to point out that I’ll be delivering a keynote session at the Utah Open Source Conference 2008, coming in August to Salt Lake City. I put in …
I’ve been having a problem with the CD+DVD rewritable drive in my Dell laptop. It only recognizes new media about 10-15% of the time, and has a habit of “marking” discs I put in it with small, stuttering scratches. (I learned quickly not to put anything in it I really …
(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 …

On Saturday, the FUDCon moves to Boston University’s Photonics Center, where we will hold our BarCamp sessions. I’ve just updated our wiki page with directions and other information you need to get to the BarCamp. Take a look!
With many thanks to Jon Stanley (injured but not out for the season) for use of his EVDO card — worked like a champ in Fedora 9, no tweaking required. Today my work consisted of: Attending an hour of the opening keynotes for the Red Hat Summit Meeting one on …
FUDCon is being held at room 301/302/303 in the Hynes Center starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.. We’ve moved the opening an hour later so that we don’t force people also attending the Summit to choose between keynotes and hearing about our logistics. Remember that Jim Whitehurst will be coming by …
