Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
The Great White North.
I was very pleased and excited to be able to give a Board “stamp of approval” over the weekend to the new Fedora EMEA group. It’s a collection of very dedicated and energetic Fedora Ambassadors working in concert in Europe to promote Fedora and expand our presence there. Max Spevack …
Untethered.
So I had a host of things I wanted to blog about, but I’ve run out of time for the night. My wife and I are traveling up to New England tomorrow to house hunt through the weekend, so I’ll likely not be very visible or reachable (except briefly one …
Quick kudos.
Our Fedora Infrastructure Project folks have been called out as a shining example of Puppet usage. Go read the interview with James Turnbull over at the On Ruby blog for more information about Puppet and why it rocks. Our Infrastructure team is naturally community based, and works together to keep …
No rest for the wicked, #17.
Yesterday I eschewed my normal practice of waking up at high noon to be bathed and fed peeled grapes by adoring odalisques, and rose instead at the coral-tinged onset of dawn to hit the road once again in service to the Linux community. Not as a speaker today, mind, but …

They’ve also put together a page on the wiki to do future tracking of these metrics. It’s amazing to see …
FUDCon Survey
After FUDCon F9, we set up a survey to collect information on why people did or didn’t attend, and what made them decide the way they did. Unfortunately, the idea to do this came up after the conference had closed, and there was very little time to get the survey …
I thought I told you never to call me here.
Currently I’m working as a remote employee, until we get our real estate sorted out and move up to New England. It’s a very new experience for me, since I’ve always worked in an office ever since I graduated from college/university in 1991. Working as a remote employee, though, has …
Leaving the building, Three.
There are basically two major mailing lists in Fedora-land that primarily concern Board activities: the fedora-advisory-board (FAB) list and the fedora-board-list. The former is the place where the vast majority of discussion about high-level topics occurs. This list is open to everyone and is often used as a source of …
