Thanks to several intrepid Fedorans who lined up bugs for me for the Installation Guide, including Marvelous Mike McGrath and Jason Taylor! I fixed all of them on the plane as I flew to the Left Coast Monday evening. I had no time to devote to FOSS this weekend at …
This weekend I am in recording sessions, doing preproduction work with Laura, Arch, and Rich. Things are going very well so far — We tracked rhythm section work for four tunes, “Helicopter’s Rope,” “Roads,” “Keep Talking,” and “Our History.” Tomorrow will be spent putting down vocals, some guitars, and fitting …
…I realize I need a specific package for work, and someone is already working on it. That very day, nonetheless. Thanks Bastien and Parag!
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 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 …
Also guilty as charged. I’ll also confess I left the results up in a browser for the last 24+ hours to see if anyone else was posting this. I’m such a wuss. Auditory : 38% Visual : 61% Left : 45% Right : 55% Paul, you possess an interesting balance …
I was rather harshly greeted over my morning coffee with the outright ugliness to which MaÃrÃn alluded and on which Smooge commented. However self-congratulatory or snobbish it might seem, I thought it was worth pointing out that I don’t think I’ve ever met a Fedora person personally who struck me …
Bart and I had a conversation on IRC today where we wondered how we could get more training to new Fedora contributors. He brought up the idea of a Training SIG and then we discussed (and played around with) moodle, which is a complete Web-based courseware system. When combined with …
