This morning (7 AM local time) we had the Fedora 11 retrospective. I thought it went pretty well and people on the phone seemed to enjoy it. If you didn’t enjoy it or have ideas for making future retrospectives better… Continue Reading →
Thank you Paul! I am honored to accept an appointed seat on the Fedora Board and looking forward to the year ahead. Having served as the secretary to the Fedora board for roughly the past two years I’ve recorded a… Continue Reading →
I’ve been participating remotely in the Fedora Activity Day (FAD) in Raleigh, NC. The sound quality over Fedora Talk is extremely good calling in with a regular phone (with the exception of other people forgetting to mute), though it is… Continue Reading →
Fedora 11 is released tomorrow, June 9, 2009, and you can get it at http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora. On Friday I announced an upcoming retrospecitve for Fedora 11, happening on June 16, 2009. I’m hoping this gathering will be a collaborative brainstorming meeting… Continue Reading →
One of the best things to come out of the development cycle for Fedora 11 is a continuous stream of test days. James Laska with the help of Adam Williamson shows up every week to lead the charge–sometimes twice in… Continue Reading →
This video called Auto Tuning makes me laugh every time I watch it. And I’ve watched it several because because I’ve been “Blake” more times than I can remember. It is a hilarious illustration and reminder of how challenging some… Continue Reading →
Yes, I’m getting ahead of myself a little. The Fedora 11 beta was just released, but if you are already working on something for Fedora 12 that doesn’t mean you can’t tell the world about it now using the Fedora… Continue Reading →
I came across this article calling out the fourteenth birthday of the wiki. The first wiki was created by Ward Cunningham of Portland, Oregon. An interesting interview with Ward is on FLOSS weekly. I can’t imagine how a huge portion… 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 →
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 →
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 →
