In my switch from Fedora to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) one of the things I lost was Terminator. Even though it was in EPEL and installed without issue, the cursor wasn’t visible, making it hard to use. For a… Continue Reading →
It seems like the right time to make this move. I am not involved in Fedora to the extent I used to be so I’m removing my full blog feed from Fedora Planet. I like all the traffic Fedora Planet… Continue Reading →
Riffing on a theme from Rework… I believe the project management structure and process framework of team should be a little less than “just enough.” Anything more wastes people’s time and becomes more about the process than shipping (thank you… Continue Reading →
I’ve been a big fan of python bugzilla for a long time and used it often in Fedora to gather bugs for the release blocker meetings. If you aren’t familiar with python bugzilla, it is a very useful library and… Continue Reading →
I couldn’t be prouder of today’s OpenShift (PAAS–Platform as a Service) cloud announcement by Red Hat. It’s not often that you get to be project manager on a release this big or exciting. It was a massive team effort involving… Continue Reading →
I was sad to read Kevin Fenzi’s post about Fedora Talk closing down. Fedora Talk was a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone system running Asterisk, freely available to anyone with a Fedora account. I thought it was a great service with… Continue Reading →
From Richard Hughes’ blog on February 2, 2011, In GNOME 3.0, we’re defaulting to suspending the computer when the user shuts the lid, and not providing any preferences combobox to change this. This is what the UI designers for GNOME… Continue Reading →

With less time to live on the edge in Fedora-land these days I went looking for less excitement by way of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. I was motivated to take a step back… Continue Reading →
I receive occasional queries for good open source project management and scheduling tools. As you probably know by now, our scheduling tool of choice for Fedora is TaskJuggler. TaskJuggler provides a great benefit to Fedora in its flexibility as a… Continue Reading →
Last week, as part of the Fedora 14 Bugzilla Housekeeping process, all open Fedora 12 bugs were closed. Fedora 12 is now officially end-of-life (EOL). This means that no new bugs are accepted for Fedora 12, and updates, including security fixes, will… Continue Reading →
A few months back The New York Times ran a series of articles about our immersion in technology. They were really interesting if not a little convicting and ironic to find them via Twitter. Set aside ten minutes and read… Continue Reading →
I attended WordCamp Portland 2010, a conference about blogging and WordPress. There were two sessions tracks and an unconference track. At a couple of the session times, none of the track offerings looked interesting, but I picked one anyway. Without… Continue Reading →
