Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
OK, we seriously need someone who knows SWIG to put together PulseAudio bindings for Python. I’ve worked on some ctypes style wrappers, and they are not only not fun, but I suspect that I am Doing It Wrong, or in a non-Pythonic way. And I know that Lennart Poettering, the …
In about an hour or so, I’ll be getting on the road for Red Hat HQ in Raleigh, to meet up with other Fedora contributors for the Events Fedora Activity Day. We have an agenda that includes planning Fedora events both at the macro and micro levels for this coming …
First, thanks to Greg for an excellent, thoughtful post on Fedora’s goals. I remember well — and I’m sure Greg does too — the FUDCon in Raleigh in January 2008 where members of the Fedora community sat down to try to distill “what Fedora stands for” into a powerful message. …
One of the many little delights about working on a community project is the unexpected ways that friends around the globe might surprise you out of the blue. Late last week I received this little gem from the Czech Republic (sorry I didn’t have time to do any fancier GIMPing …
I recently drafted a page on the Fedora wiki for planning our presence at the Red Hat Summit 2010 in Boston on June 22-25. That page has, among other things, an attendee list. Never too early to plan ahead! We had a great time and a lot of interest at …

So according to Michael and Greg, Gource is awesome. And it’s just waiting on a completed package review and sponsorship and then we’ll see it in the repositories. If you’re also of the opinion it’s awesome, and you are (or know) a Fedora packaging sponsor, check it out!
I’ve been using the GNOME Shell preview available in Fedora 12 this week and I’m really enjoying it. I was testing out some candidates for updates to the free drivers for my ATI Radeon HD4850 (and the stuff that went with them) already, and decided to see what happened when …
