A banner day thus far — only wasted two hours this morning getting my wireless setup back to something resembling “working.” Last night I tried replacing my old D-Link AP with a new WRT54GL, in the hopes that I could later flash that unit to something from OpenWrt or DD-WRT. …
Note: This is a bastardization (and cleanup) of a post I made yesterday to the fedora-marketing-list. I think it’s actually very applicable to EVERYONE in the Fedora project, especially if you deal with users. It is *absolutely vital* that all of us be on the same page for how to …
Congratulations to the first Fedora L10n Steering Committee (FLSCo). It’s nice to see so many hard-working translators, whose names I’ve seen many times in various source code commits email, stepping up to lead Fedora’s Localization efforts.

Today I’m hitting the road, first heading to Red Hat’s Tysons Corner office — basically as a jumping-off point for my next destination tonight, the UMLUG (University of Maryland Linux Users Group) in College Park, MD. It should be an interesting talk — I’ve deliberately not gone overboard creating slides …
