Domestic duty day.
After Ohio Linux Fest this weekend I’m taking a day to do some domestic stuff, during which time I’ll be online sporadically. I’ll be back around the intartubez as normal tomorrow morning.
OLF 2010, day 1.
Yesterday the Ohio LinuxFest kicked into high gear, with dozens of talks and sessions geared toward free software aficionados of all skill levels. I don’t know the attendance numbers but I heard people saying the conference felt even bigger and busier than last year. (I was last at Ohio LinuxFest …
OLF 2010, day 0.
I’m writing this from the Red Hat booth at Ohio Linux Fest 2010, which is bustling with visitors, so sorry if this is a little brief. For me Day 0 was yesterday (Friday). Some people, like Mel Chua, Ruth Suehle, and Robyn Bergeron, were here yesterday doing some awesome talks …

In fact, any evidence of our using the word “Fedora” in connection with our distro before January 30, 2007 is valuable. …
You can help the defenders.
For years, Red Hat Legal has given free services to the Fedora Project such as counsel on licensing and IP issues like patents and trademarks. Now they’re asking for help from us, the Fedora community. Here’s a brief snippet of what I wrote to the advisory-board list this morning: Red …
Your money’s worth in “aha!” moments.
Hey, not to toot my own horn or anything — but I feel really fortunate and grateful to announce that the speakers committee at the Ohio Linux Fest 2010 put me on their list of speakers for this year’s conference. I last attended the conference in 2008 and it was …
Fedora 14 Alpha is go!
As John posted last night, Fedora 14 Alpha was declared ready for release next week. Although there was a one-week slip to handle the fact that our blocker list wasn’t clear, Fedora developers and testers in the community have worked hard together both to resolve the remaining issues and make …
