In about an hour or so, I’ll be getting on the road for Red Hat HQ in Raleigh, to meet up with other Fedora contributors for the Events Fedora Activity Day. We have an agenda that includes planning Fedora events both at the macro and micro levels for this coming …
I recently drafted a page on the Fedora wiki for planning our presence at the Red Hat Summit 2010 in Boston on June 22-25. That page has, among other things, an attendee list. Never too early to plan ahead! We had a great time and a lot of interest at …
To Ian’s post I can only say, “right on.” There’s an even deeper underlying concern for free software’s desire to have an unencumbered way to create content. It’s to restore the ability of people to use moving pictures as part of their voice in the processes around them. Codecs are …
This review popped up on my scope today, and three things struck me immediately: The article has nice (and well-deserved) things to say not just about Fedora 12 (download it now) and its many cool features and usability, but specifically about our Fedora Documentation team, which has been working harder …
Over the past year-and-some-change, I’ve spent quite a bit of time working with Red Hat Legal on the treatment of Fedora trademarks in our community. In particular, Pam Chestek, one of the very small handful people I work with who’s been at Red Hat for a shorter time than I, …

I just got back from my slightly extended Thanksgiving vacation yesterday, and there’s so much to talk about! Most importantly, this coming Saturday marks the start of FUDCon Toronto 2009. As everything is starting to settle into place, we’re having a planning wrap-up meeting this afternoon on IRC Freenode at …
The big day is here — Fedora 12 is released, uniting freedom, technology, and community. You can download the all-natural goodness at //get.fedoraproject.org and read some of the highlights of the release. The official announcement text is here, and on the wiki as well. I’m a big fan of the …
OK, this post obviously didn’t make it out of Australia before I did. It was a pretty grueling travel day, with a 13-hour flight from BNE to LAX, followed by Customs (a thankfully brief wait) and then a four-hour layover followed by another five-hour flight back to IAD, then home. …
Spot and I are in Australia all week, and I wanted to give a brief accounting of events thus far. I left home Friday around lunch time, flew from Washington/Dulles to Los Angeles, and arrived there in the evening. The flight was uneventful and on a comfortable Airbus A320. I …
