Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
From the “likely playing catchup” files: The Git User’s Survey for 2009 is now available online. We have a lot of git gurus in Fedora, so if you do use it, go take the survey. It takes only 5 minutes and can help the git developers with future roadmapping. I …
There’s a nice entry on the Red Hat press blog about some of the interesting items that went on at FUDCon Berlin 2009. FUDCon is a great place for us to renew social bonds with our fellow Fedora contributors. But it’s also a place where, first and foremost, we try …
I’ve been thinking of a FAD to upgrade Fedora Talk, our project voice-over-IP system. So I started by putting a skeleton of planning information on this wiki page. What I really need to do is gather a few people there with insight and skills in one or more of the …
Update to my last post about email setup… As a remote worker, I travel frequently, and often work away from my home office. My workhorse computer is my laptop, which has most of my important data. Unfortunately, I’m not always near a working open wifi, and that happens frequently in …

The days of summer may be hot, but they’re anything but lazy in Fedora. The Fedora 12 release, as many community members already know, is a somewhat tighter schedule overall. We had so many features in the Fedora 11 release, some of them particularly extensive and complex, that we drove …
Sorry this comes late. I took a couple of days off after the Goodwill Tour o’ Doom to unwind with family and my blogging suffered as a result. FUDCon Day 2 was our BarCamp, which we organized the evening of Day 1. Day 3 was a continuation of some hackfests …
If you did a BarCamp presentation at the FUDCon Berlin 2009, I’d really love it if you’d do the following: License your slide deck with a CC BY-SA license. Upload a copy of your slide deck to the wiki. On the BarCamp schedule on the wiki, make a link from …
Lots of great conversations went on for Day 1, as others have written. Security team collaborating with release engineering, wireless hackers collaborating with each other, and lots of new people finding their way around to meet with other contributors as well. The hackfest started a little timidly, which surprised me …
