Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
Fedora people attend a lot of events. I mean, a LOT of events. Our Ambassadors are constantly on the go, representing Fedora at conferences, conventions, symposia, expositions, and other gatherings around the world. Just this weekend, esteemed Fedora Ambassadors throughout Central and South America were involved in the FLISOL (
We now have a wiki page open for suggestions for the Fedora 14 name. Every release, we provide our community a chance to give name suggestions for the next one. Each consecutive name must be linked to the previous one, but that link must be different from the link that …
On Saturday, April 24, we open nominations for the next round of elections for Fedora. Seats on both the Board and the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) will be open. FESCo is delegated responsibility for dealing with, among other things, the technical issues of production of the Fedora operating system. …
So much going on today! At 10:00 am US Eastern time (1400 UTC), Fedora 13 Beta is released. The Beta is our last milestone before the final release of Fedora 13. We’d like to have as many people test it as possible. It’s available in a “Live ISO” format you …

Thanks to our Fedora Ambassadors for a special assist last week. We were asked to support Tux.org, a nonprofit umbrella group in the Washington DC area, and the Northern Virginia LUG (NoVaLUG) in their presence at FOSE, the USA’s biggest federal government IT show. Our Ambassadors came through with flying …
I wanted to give a special shout of thanks and gratitude to Sijis Aviles of Chicago, Illinois (USA) and Hiemanshu Sharma of Bangalore, India. They’ve been intimately involved with work on redesigning pieces of the Fedora websites. They’ve demonstrated an enormous amount of ambition, effort, persistence, elbow grease, patience, and …
I’ve been the Fedora Project Leader for a little over two years now, and now that we’re rocketing (sorry!) toward my fifth release in that role, I’m interested in branching out into other ways of championing free and open source software at Red Hat. Before I do that, I want …
