Tomorrow night at 2359 UTC the wiki beats, where we collect the release notes for F8, will be “frozen” for the final release. From there, we produce DocBook XML sources which go to the L10N folks for translation for the F8 general release. I am hoping there is not too …
It’s pleasant enough to work outside for a little while, and at least I can confirm while typing this entry that this Dell is, in fact, usable in more-or-less direct sunlight. I’m going to work on some side projects today since I’ve been keeping up with core Fedora docs work …
I’ve posted a new draft copy of the Fedora Installation Guide at my FedoraPeople site. There’s now a rewritten appendix on using cobbler to make an installation server. Many thanks to my friend Matt Quigley for getting me started down that road, since I hadn’t had time to explore it …
I finally got time today to revisit the package complement on my new Dell XPS M1330, and to put it through its paces doing some daily work. My early impressions are as follows: PRO: Bright. The slim display is incredibly, mind-blowingly bright at the top setting — too bright, in …

Note to would-be blog stylists out there: Do not hard code font sizes in pixels. Especially tiny ones. Case in point: Witness the discrepancy between the normal font size (in the dialog’s list box at top) and the blog post text at the bottom (12px according to the CSS, yikes!). …
