Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
The big day is here — Fedora 12 is released, uniting freedom, technology, and community. You can download the all-natural goodness at //get.fedoraproject.org and read some of the highlights of the release. The official announcement text is here, and on the wiki as well. I’m a big fan of the …
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 …
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 …
OK, this post obviously didn’t make it out of Australia before I did. It was a pretty grueling travel day, with a 13-hour flight from BNE to LAX, followed by Customs (a thankfully brief wait) and then a four-hour layover followed by another five-hour flight back to IAD, then home. …

As of this writing, we have 120 people signed up for the FUDCon Toronto 2009 event, and it’s still a month away! I’m so excited to be holding the first North American event outside the USA. I’m also looking forward to seeing many good friends there, such as the illustrious …
A special thanks and congratulations to the marvelous folks working on the Fedora Weekly News project. They’ve reached another milestone with Issue 200 this week! FWN works in a highly collaborative way, organized into “beats” — much like any real newspaper. Each beat focuses on a specific area or team …
During the time before and following Beta release I actually took some of my limited spare time and found and filed some bugs. A couple ended up as duplicates, of course. Any time you have a Linux distribution with millions of users you’re bound to have a few people running …
I was asked to reprint here on my blog a posting I made to FAB last week regarding the status of the target audience discussions and their place in the wider scope of improving the Fedora distribution. The Fedora Board’s discussions about target audience are meant not as an end …
