This report is impressive… receiving 7,872 new reports and resolving 7,802 bug reports in a single month while continuing to hold a backlog of 46,000 open bugs! This says two things to me… they have a process for triaging and… Continue Reading →
A great observation came out of a recent bug triage meeting by David Nalley who noted that “there is great information about the HOW, but not the WHY or SO WHAT [of why bug triage is important].” I took an… Continue Reading →
We are well past feature freeze and into the second week of the Fedora 10 beta release. This means the feature list for Fedora 10 is set though some work remains to finish some of the features which had enough… Continue Reading →
Performing a network install of the Fedora 10 beta didn’t work for me because of the bug in the Intel e1000e driver. Using my local rawhide repo I built the ISOs to do a hard drive install from a separate… Continue Reading →
I have an ongoing inability to commit to a single virtualization platform because I’m always looking for one that has everything I need, is free and open source, and runs well on my dinosaur hardware. Maybe I’ll post another time… Continue Reading →
Last week the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) ratified the updated schedule proposed by the Release Engineering team. This resulted in feature freeze for Fedora moving to 2008-09-09 and GA to 2008-11-18. This three week change to the schedule was… Continue Reading →
I recently got the urge to do a security review of a network I manage with a Linksys Router. It was running the latest version of dd-wrt with a set of unmodified (as best I knew) firewall rules. I had… Continue Reading →
Things are coming together for yet another Fedora release. Although this is the tenth Fedora release it is only the third iteration of the new feature process. From my vantage point the process is getting better though the level of… Continue Reading →

These are my own thoughts and reflections on my own subjective experiences of this event. What I have to say here should in no way be construed as criticizing the event planners or execution of FUDCon Boston 2008. I know… Continue Reading →
Jon Stanley and I did a presentation at FUDCon Boston on Bug Triage. We had nice turn out and some good questions. The slides are here though we intentionally blasted through the first half of them so that we could… Continue Reading →
As a follow-up to a previous post titled What is Rawhide For? we had a great discussion at FUDCon Boston during the Friday afternoon hackfest. Admittedly we didn’t hack on any code, though Seth Vidal wrote some based on one… Continue Reading →
Last night, as part of the end-of-life (EOL) process for Fedora 7, all open Fedora 7 bugs were closed. These bugs were closed because the Fedora 7 release is no longer maintained and no more updates will be shipped for… Continue Reading →
