FUDCon Toronto report.

There have already been plenty of posts about all the good stuff that happened at FUDCon Toronto 2009, so just repeating the same details would seem like gilding the lily. Easily over 200 attendees as of Day 1, and we had other people showing up over the weekend, and students …

Traveling.

In just a few minutes, I’m leaving for the airport to catch a plane through Cincinnati to Toronto. I should touch down at YYZ at around 3:45pm, and hopefully I’ll be meeting some other Fedora friends at the airport and we’ll share a taxi to the hotel. Hopefully we should …

Election extensions.

F12 minus two days.

I’m incredibly excited about the upcoming release. I’ve been running the pre-release of Fedora 12 for some time now and it’s really solid on all the hardware I have at home, including a netbook, a couple workstations, and my workhorse laptop. Such a great job by everyone involved, I’m truly …

Nominations.

Worth a separate post — nominations are still open for various spots in the upcoming Fedora elections until the end of the day tomorrow. Officially that’s 2359 UTC on 2009-11-16. I wanted to thank all the folks who have thrown their names into a ring, for being willing to take …
