Road dogging, No. 13.
I’m heading out on the road, this time down to Red Hat HQ in Raleigh. I’ll be working with our marketing and community architecture folks on some Fedora 9 release related stuff. It’s all the same to you, dear invisible friends, because my disembodied voice will be seen in all …
