The O/S that keeps me free (as in speech and beer)
Dear Lazyweb: I’m trying out Emacs as an IRC client (via ERC) and realize that I could probably use some tuning to make it work well. I’m wondering whether anyone in the Fedora community has a set of scripts they use to do some of the following: Auto-login to several …
John Poelstra wrote in his blog about how objective criteria support sustainability in an open source project. It was insightful and I wanted to follow up about how that extends to process documentation as a whole. Lots of people talk about documentation as “that thing you do when you’re finished …
I was excited to read all the reports from the recent FUDCon in Santiago, Chile, where many Fedora contributors gathered to share information, teach, and learn about Fedora and the Fedora Project. After being to many FUDCon events, I have to say that it’s one of the most energizing community …
Yesterday, Jared and I drove down to Raleigh. Jared starts Red Hat’s new hire orientation today, and this was a good opportunity for me to stop by the office and take care of a couple in-person tasks. Last night we had a wonderful dinner with Max at Taverna Agora — …
I just posted to the Fedora announce list to let the community know about the next Fedora Project Leader, Jared Smith, and about his upcoming appearances at FUDCon Santiago and FISL 11. I don’t have much to add here on my blog, since I said everything I wanted to in …

One of the hardest parts of being FPL and attending a conference is getting a trip report done while you try to catch up to everything you missed while you were gone! But better late than never, here’s my report from this past weekend’s Southeast LinuxFest (SELF). Thursday I packed …
You probably already know that the Southeast Linux Fest 2010 is coming up in just a few weeks (June 11-13). The Fedora Project will, of course, be there as well. Last year I was honored to be one of the inaugural event’s keynote speakers. Apparently those crazy guys at SELF …
As some Fedora Project folks already know, this coming Monday is a US holiday, and it’s often celebrated with outings or travel, so you might not see some of your fellow Fedorans around that day. (Also, Red Hat is closed for that holiday, and I imagine many of the Red …
Sandro Mathys reports on his blog that he was selected as the 2010 RHCE of the Year for Europe. I’m not surprised to see another active Fedora contributor selected for this honor, like John Rose in 2009 for North America and Jeroen van Meeuwen for Europe and Michael Yingbull for …
