Talk FAD?

I’ve been thinking of a FAD to upgrade Fedora Talk, our project voice-over-IP system. So I started by putting a skeleton of planning information on this wiki page. What I really need to do is gather a few people there with insight and skills in one or more of the …

FUDCon, Day 2 and 3.

Sorry this comes late. I took a couple of days off after the Goodwill Tour o’ Doom to unwind with family and my blogging suffered as a result. FUDCon Day 2 was our BarCamp, which we organized the evening of Day 1. Day 3 was a continuation of some hackfests …

FUDCon Day 1.

Lots of great conversations went on for Day 1, as others have written.

SELF, day 0.

I had a great flight yesterday from Dulles to Greenville — the plane was very sparsely filled, and I had an exit row all to myself! It made for a great work environment even with a short flight. When I landed and picked up my car, I was both horrified …

Head down tomorrow.

Due to my travel to this week’s Fedora Activity Day in Raleigh, and the marketing work around the release, I find myself a little strapped for time and with a lot of writing to do. Tomorrow I will probably be absent from most IRC and only addressing critical email so …
