Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
So, FUDCon is over now and it’s time for everyone who attended to ratchet up the talk about what got done there. FUDCon is all about setting wheels in motion (and keeping them so) for the next development cycle, assessing where we can do better, and making sure people understand …
Tomorrow is the BarCamp, my favorite part of the whole FUDCon experience. It’s the ultimate “un-conference,” where the sessions are dialogues and not monologues, and the audience has as much to teach as the speakers. Because FUDCon is free and open to everyone, we hope to have a big bump …
On Saturday, the FUDCon moves to Boston University’s Photonics Center, where we will hold our BarCamp sessions. I’ve just updated our wiki page with directions and other information you need to get to the BarCamp. Take a look!
With many thanks to Jon Stanley (injured but not out for the season) for use of his EVDO card — worked like a champ in Fedora 9, no tweaking required. Today my work consisted of: Attending an hour of the opening keynotes for the Red Hat Summit Meeting one on …
FUDCon is being held at room 301/302/303 in the Hynes Center starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.. We’ve moved the opening an hour later so that we don’t force people also attending the Summit to choose between keynotes and hearing about our logistics. Remember that Jim Whitehurst will be coming by …

By the way, if your plans have changed and you can’t attend FUDCon, please take a moment to strike out your name on the attendee list. Don’t bother removing your name, since it’s also helpful for us to know who missed out this time around. Just use <s> and </s> …
Although we did our best to get enough power drops for the FUDCon conference space, it would be great if people would bring some power strips. We don’t want to create a daisy chain o’ doom, but with the power drops being those big industrial quad boxes, we’ll need to …
I’m currently trying to get my flight rearranged so that I can arrive at Boston on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, which should make it easier to get the last-minute FUDCon logistics handled. Since the next couple of days will be hectic, I wanted to give a brief overview of the …
I had an hour or two free this afternoon while we wait for a babysitter to arrive — I’m taking my wife to see the new Indiana Jones film. Grownup night out, woohoo! So I decided to play around a little with git-cvsimport. Naturally, right? The Docs team is looking …
