I’m starting to make some plans for the next Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon), to celebrate our 10th release and to jump-start development for Fedora 11. I have a couple self-imposed priorities to observe in putting together the schedule. The conference needs to happen soon after the release of …

I’ve been giving this topic some thought after discussions with John Poelstra. Right now, spin owners create a full feature page, and then run it through the feature process, except that the feature isn’t voted on by FESCo. After the Spins SIG makes sure it’s in proper working order, gets …

Sorry I’ve been less bloggy this week. I am up in Westford at the Red Hat offices and, since I’m rarely here, the meeting compression ratio is frankly enormous. My calendar had almost no white space left after around Monday at lunchtime, and I actually have had to double-book a …
