Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
Linux on film.
This is a very cool news item, although I’m wondering how the result is ever to see air time without some money behind it. I’d love to see some of the creative minds in Fedora get involved — but I think the result should be distribution-agnostic if it’s to be …
The tallies are in.
Election results for the Fedora Project Board, the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, and the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee are all announced this morning. Bill Nottingham and Matt Domsch have been elected to the two open seats on the Board. Josh Boyer, Dan Horák, Jarod Wilson, and Jon Stanley have been …
Soon a myth no more.
The new work that Bastien Nocera is doing on fingerprint scanner support in Fedora is totally awesome. Now, a few months ago this wouldn’t have been that big an impact on me personally, but my laptop suddenly changed unexpectedly. Remember my suicidal Dell laptop? Well, the fine folks at Dell …

This is part of our general statistics page, where we openly and transparently …

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 …
