Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
I’ve been a little scarce after hours recently because of some family matters here in Virginia. My mom has had progressively worsening back problems for a while now, and this week she had another surgery, just a few weeks following the previous one. Right now she’s in a full-time rehab …
With the recent slippage in the Fedora 10 Beta release phase, we’re at a November 25 release for the final Fedora 10 release. Part of the slippage is obviously due to the August intrusion — we lost about three weeks due to all the infrastructure rebuilding that had to take …
Back in late 2006, we in Fedora land were already looking toward a future where anyone could draw bits out of Fedora and make what matters to them. By the time Fedora 7 came around in May 2007, we were already talking about the remix. The “remix” term has a …
We handle our release notes by separating them into beats, where various community members take ownership of a particular piece of the distribution. They pay attention to features and developments in that area, and make sure that the relevant page of release notes is updated with all the news that …
We couldn’t think of any better way to celebrate Fedora’s 5th than delivering a fresh new Fedora 10 Beta. This is the point where we ask all community members to spend some time getting and testing the release, so we can make it as fantastic as possible. Here’s some tasty …

If you haven’t seen the lovely and festive new banner on the Fedora home page today, check it out! Today is a celebration — FIVE GREAT YEARS of Fedora so far. Yes, five years ago, fedoraproject.org was officially born, which is, I think, a great date to mark the occasion. …
I love the idea of obby/gobby — I just can’t stand the editor. I’d much rather use my beloved Emacs, or even gEdit. But it looks like things are coming together for a more sophisticated D-Bus solution. Once there are network bits tied in, you could use Vim and I …
I could spend a lot of this blog talking about how incredibly insane it is for our government to be spending another $700B bailing out the greedy, the stupid, and the clueless. I could rail equally against both sides of the aisle for acting as if this wasn’t the exact …
I got my results from yesterday’s RHCE exam, and I passed, so I’m now RHCE recertified for RHEL 5! I aced the troubleshooting section, which was cool, but I had hoped to do the same with the installation and configuration section and didn’t quite manage that. I suppose it would …
