Nochat on.

If you’ve tried to reach me via IRC this week and failed, it’s because I haven’t been on Freenode for chat for several days. Sorry about the absence — even as I’ve been participating here at LinuxTag and prepare for FUDCon, there is still a massive amount of work that …

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 …

“C” is not just for cookie.

“C” also stands for “Community.” Why bring this up now? Because along with Leonidas roaring to life this week, we also have some other great news to share with our (little-“c”) community members: Fedora Community – the new collaboration site for Fedora contributors! Fedora Community is powered by Moksha, a …
