Election extensions.
As seen here on the fedora-advisory-board list: Although Mike McGrath and the Infrastructure team don’t expect the server relocation to affect our upcoming elections, we want to make sure the community’s ability to vote is not unnecessarily affected given the timing. The original voting period was December 8-15, and the …
Nominally back on the air.
I got the bare minimum of service back online, including my weblog, from a catastrophic HDD failure yesterday. That really threw a monkey wrench into my workday, I’m sorry to say! But thanks to a couple wonderful people including James Laska and Aristeu Rozanski, I’m back in business. Over the …

(Only by happenstance is the title seemingly connected to this entry.) I know that earlier Luca Foppiano pointed out this story posted on Mark Shuttleworth’s blog. I’m glad to see that Mark is taking seriously the need for any serious Linux distribution — and certainly any that has one eye …
I’m looking forward to joining you, finally.

What the realtors call “foot traffic” — visitors to our house, presumably with purchasing intent — has picked up significantly in the past few weeks. In the last two weeks, we’ve had about a half-dozen visits. The feedback from the agents, where they tell you everything about your house that …
