If you’ve been looking for an excuse to visit Portland, Oregon, look no further! I recently volunteered to help the Open Source Bridge marketing team with project management. I’m not sure what all that will entail yet, but Rick Turoczy… Continue Reading →
It struck me today that as the Fedora Feature Wrangler I mostly focus on the things that are wrong or missing and then nag people until they get fixed. I just finished going over the list of Fedora 11 features… Continue Reading →
Thanks for the shout-out from Jef (which he tells me is short for Jeff) about the Fedora 11 feature list. Jef is definitely right that this is the largest feature list we have ever had. Some of the media outlets… Continue Reading →
I don’t enjoy hearing the internal speaker beep every time I perform an illegal action on the keyboard. After failing to find anywhere to disable it–previously System/Preferences/Hardware/Sound took care of this–a series of searches on Google landed me at bugzilla… Continue Reading →
I have a love-hate relationship with buying things from Cooks Illustrated. I hate the process I have to go through, but my wife what loves comes. A few years ago I ordered a single cookbook and somehow became automatically subscribed… Continue Reading →
The title is slightly misleading, but it is true as long as the original source does not change. I’ve also made a copy of an entire rawhide tree (~13G) in less than five seconds. I’ve been syncing rawhide trees at… Continue Reading →
I received a letter from Comcast shortly before Christmas explaining that they were tripling my internet speed without changing the price. The link below is really interesting and confirmed my suspicion that Comcast didn’t triple my internet speed simply because… Continue Reading →
A week ago I discovered Terminator. It has mostly solved an ongoing frustration I’ve had with how to structure all my gnome-terminal windows. A great getting started guide is here: http://maketecheasier.com/maximize-your-terminal-usage-with-terminator/2008/12/21. The only drawback I’ve found to it so far… Continue Reading →
Well it hasn’t been the FUDCon I planned. For the first time ever I got sick on a work related trip. Very strange for me because I rarely get sick. I’m hoping it is a 24 hour thing that will… Continue Reading →
Yesterday all open Fedora 8 bugs were closed. Fedora 8 is officially end-of-life (EOL) and is no longer maintained. No more updates will be shipped for it. This ends the bugzilla housekeeping for Fedora 10 release cycle. Thanks to everyone… Continue Reading →
Last week FESCo approved the Fedora 11 schedule. The Fedora 11 milestones are posted. I am still planning to create detailed schedules in TaskJuggler for some of the Fedora teams. A first look at the detailed schedule is here. I… Continue Reading →
One reader took issue with disabled comments at my blog. I came across the idea recently and it resonated with me. I’m trying it out. There are plenty of free blogging services and places for people to respond to what… Continue Reading →
A big thanks to Christer Edwards for posting on the fantastic Firefox plugin called It’s All Text! I just started using it on the Fedora wiki and it is superb for large and complicated edits. Make sure you enter the… Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago at the FESCo meeting we did our third post mortem of the feature process, made a few minor tweaks to the process, and started accepting features for Fedora 11 this week! This is our best start yet… Continue Reading →
A discussion recently started on fedora-advisory-board list about the Fedora 11 schedule and turned to how much we have slipped in the past. Admittedly it is kind of hard to say because we haven’t diligently tracked or reviewed our planned… Continue Reading →
