Fedora books?
by Emilio Simpkins 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

As I get people asking me about Fedora, I find I don't know much on the subject (yeah I know ambassador who doesn't know his distro), so I was wondering if anyone knows any books out there that could help me learn more about Fedora and Linux in general...(please don't say Linux for dummies...) Thanks, Emilio

wireless fedora
by Samuel Teyemensah 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I have successfully installed fedora on some of my collegues laptops. However, the wireless devices on those laptops could not work. In fact I could not configure wireless on the machines most hp, acer and dell. Is it that fedora does not have wireless drivers for these laptops. if it has, then someone should help me out with the configuration of wireless network connections.

EventReport : FOSS Seminar at Mukah Polytechnic, Sarawak, Malaysia
by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I was at Mukah, Sarawak on the last 22nd and 23rd June 2009 for a FOSS Seminar organized by a Polytechnic college there. The polytechnic invited speakers from OSCC-MAMPU and Eric (an OSCC-MAMPU staff, an OpenSuSE Ambassador, and also a contributor in Fedora Malaysia activities) invited me to tag along with him as a speaker. The event attendees were primarily lecturers and staff from Mukah Polytechnic itself, Kuching Polytechnic, and several nearby colleges. It was a 2 days event where the first day was mainly filled with talks related several FOSS topics: "What is FOSS", "Trends in FOSS world", "GNU/Linux", "Security in FOSS", "Interoperability – Making FOSS and Windows play nice", and "FOSS development tools". The second day was an install workshop of Fedora and OpenSuSE and introduction of several GNOME features to the attendees. Me and Eric take turns on the talks and workshop. full report here: http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2009/06/eventreport-foss-seminar-at-mukah.html pics yet to come -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃「あまのひかる」 Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331

Which means that there are no "official" stickers but one has to make a set by themselves?

Braden, welcome to the Fedora Project! It was great to see that you're also from Kitchener, where I am from too! I've lived in the US for about 15 years now, but get back there a couple times a year. You might also be interested in joining the Fedora Ambassadors team (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors). Its good to see more folks from Canada joining. We're trying to grow the presence in Canada, so there is lots of opportunity if you want to get more involved.
