Setting up this FUDCon has been an exercise in hair-pulling. With only about $15K to work with, it’s also been an exercise in corner-cutting. I have the option of blowing away the “refreshments” part of the FUDCon budget — the money that would pay for drinks and snacks during the …
Our elections coordinator Nigel Jones has set up the balloting for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCo. On every ballot are fantastic individuals who are willing to give extra time and energy to Fedora to try to improve the project for their fellow contributors. Good luck to everyone on the …
I just realized that I’d made a mistake on the FUDCon page in our location at MIT. Our classrooms are not going to be located in the Sloan Building, but rather in the Tang Center, building E51. Sorry for the mix-up — and the FUDCon wiki page has been fixed …
FUDCon news. Another sign that one shouldn’t spend a lot of time emailing large groups of people while on decongestants: //www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-December/msg00000.html //www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-December/msg00003.html //www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-December/msg00004.html Long and short is, though, that FUDCon F11 is in full swing, and coming up January 9-11 in Boston. All the important details are on the wiki, …
In a little under a week, the combined Fedora elections will be held for the Board and other groups as well such as FESCo. Nominations are open through Wednesday, 3 December. You can visit the main elections page, which links to the group specific pages where you can nominate yourself …
Dear Lazyweb, I need a PCI fax/modem for my office Frankenbox. This one at Newegg has at least one review that says it works but if you can confirm or recommend another — preferably something supported by an in-kernel driver — I’d appreciate it.
Since I’m in the mood for tip-giving… I hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving however you chose to celebrate it. We had my mom and stepdad over for a nice family dinner with all the requisites, including a lot of home-made goodies from my wonderful wife (fresh …
Well, one migration just wasn’t enough for me this weekend apparently. My friend (and ace author/Asterisk guru extraordinaire) Jared gave me a new mobo that I could transplant into my desktop system, which had been running an old AthlonXP 1800+ on an Asus mobo. The new one is a Gigabyte …
The Red Hat corporate help desk kindly sent me a new laptop for temporary use until I get the replacement for my XPS M1330 from Dell. The loaner was a 32-bit machine, and my old drive was 64-bit, so rather than bother with a hard disk transplant, which would mean …
Just a heads up: I will probably be out of pocket most of the next few days. For those of you who didn’t know, Thursday is a US holiday, and Friday is a paid holiday at Red Hat where I work. Combine that with a weekend, family, good food, and …
