Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
Reminder: The FUDCon wiki page is ready for sign-ups. We have hotel information ready for you as well, including a link to the hotel web site where you can use a special code for our discount rate. If you need an extra day on either side (or both), the hotel …
If you haven’t stopped by yet, you should look at IRC Freenode’s #fedora-classroom. There’s a schedule of sessions on the wiki for today and tomorrow. I’m doing a session in just a few minutes on getting involved. Right now the indomitable (and fast-healing) Jon Stanley is giving a session on …
Apparently I’m a little apostrophe-happy — it must be the giddiness of having Richard Weait from OpenStreetMap here at our little FredLUG meeting tonight! Richard just started his presentation, so I’m going to post this really quick-like — just because I’m so excited about our first guest speaker ever. Woohoo!

We’ve set up for 75 rooms at the Marriott Boston Cambridge for FUDCon F11. I am waiting on the hotel group code, which should be coming very shortly from the hotel group sales coordinator. Once that happens, all the information will be on the wiki as soon as possible thereafter. …
We should have hotel information available very soon, which will be posted to the wiki and notifications made everywhere there’s free space. I wanted to ask people, even if they have already signed up for FUDCon, to revisit the page and make sure all the columns are filled out. I …
January 9-11, 2009. These are the dates when the North American Fedora community will gather in Boston, Massachusetts to host another in a long line of very successful, mostly self-organizing conferences where we gather to talk about hot new developments, assess and kick off work on the next release, and …
