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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →

As a follow up to a previous post, I have been working with people in each of the Fedora subgroups to collect more information about all that goes into making a Fedora release happen. This information is represented in one… Continue Reading →

Yesterday I updated the bios on my Dell PowerEdge 400SC from A04 to A10… the first time it has ever been updated since I bought the box four years ago… finally turning my back on the advice I’ve always heard… Continue Reading →
Since reading Dreaming in Code by Scott Rosenberg I have been following the Chandler Project. I highly recommend the book as a great overview to the history and methods of software development. It is also a first hand account of… Continue Reading →
One of my dreams for Fedora came true today. Free audio conference service is being tried out in anticipation of the upcoming Virtual FUDCon. I remember asking the infrastructure group six or seven months ago if something like this was… Continue Reading →
Stop by the Fedora booth, say hello, and pickup a Fedora 7 Live CD Today and tomorrow (2007-07-25 and 2007-07-26).
Mike Mcgrath started an important topic on fedora-adivsory-board-list here and one that I have been thinking about for a long time… “Who is our Target Audience?” Some of the follow ups are thought provoking and honest–in particular, Bill Nottingham here…. Continue Reading →
