[OT] Problems with Fedora Planet
by Manuel Escudero 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi, see, sometime ago I added my blog to fedora planet, I can't remember exactly what I done but I accesed my public folder in fedora people and replaced the ".planet" file with mine like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSDqNgS5Svo <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSDqNgS5Svo>The problem is that in that time I had Fedora 12 KDE x86_64 and I remember it was quite difficult to accomplish that task and now that I installed Fedora 13 (KDE x86_64) I can't access to my Fedora People Folder, "Konsole" throws "Permisson Denied (publickey)" error to me and well, I've created a new key and it's uploaded in the FAS and it's also stored in my ".ssh" folder inside of my personal Folder, but I can't access to my Fedora People Space... ¿What can I do? I want to change my picture URL for fedora planet in order to put a new one but I am unable to edit the ".planet" file stored in the server... ¿Can you help me? By the way, the firewall is disabled. Thanks. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6

No mention of Fedorasolved on the Comminucate page
by Ankur Sinha 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

hi, I was wondering why fedorasolved.org isn't featured on the Communicate[1] page? The instructions on the site are better than any other. Fedorasolved is provided as a link in the Firefox that Fedora ships. So I don't think there is a legal issue. Any info on this please? Thanks! regards, Ankur [1] > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate

Goodbye
by Francesco Ugolini 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

In our life, sometime, it comes the time where the things you want to do become far and, even you can try to keep up with it, all the efforts result in a failure. I think this is just the case. You don't know how disappointed I can be writing these lines, but I can't fool myself and you with future plans: i can't keep up with the project. First of all I want to make clear one thing: I'm using Fedora Linux and will continue to use it. What is changed since I have joined the project? I started contributing without any ambition and I received things that I didn't expect to receive: experience, leadership and new friends. These are the rewards for all the time I spent in the project, trying to improve and make it bigger. I don't know if I have succeeded but, sure, I've done all my best. My student's duties took me away for a while, like it happened in the previous years, but, when I went back, it wasn't the same. Thing were changed and, damn, they had changed in better. Ambassadors project had become well organized, with a great FAmSCo, great Ambassadors and great mentors, but I wasn't able to work like I did. My fault. Soon I have become an inactive Ambassador, like the many I've tried to convince to come back. I get more that I expected and now it's time to have new experiences and find something that could boost my knowledge and energy. Sure, my experience here will help wherever I'll go! Now, here I'm. Writing this goodbye email with a sad heart, but a conscious brain. Many people didn't trust me at the beginning, then they changed mind. These are the first ones I want to thank. If I've tried to improve myself, it's because of you. I commend you to continue to do the same with the men and women that empower this amazing community. A big thank to all the people who helped me being what I become, especially who I met during the events I attended around Europe and the FAmSCo members I worked with. Many of you have become part of my soul. Max, Joerg, Francesco, Luca, Gerold and more and more (sorry if I can't name all of you). I'll never forget you and I hope to stay in touch with you, even if not directly for this special project. Saying goodbye is not simple. You think at what you want to underline and what to not forget but, at the end, you know you have missed something, forget to thank someone and, maybe, think that you are doing the wrong thing. But time is passing, things are changing and looking back doesn't help taking the right decision. So, here I am. Thank you my friends for everything. I wish you all my best. Long life to Fedora Project, one of the marvelous experience I've ever had. Francesco

Call for Participation - Fedora 14 Talking Points
by Ryan Rix 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hello my Fedora friends! Talking points are key highlights of the new release. They should be compelling, but they will not necessarily be comprehensive. There are different types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. For the Fedora 14 cycle, we will also have talking points to address some of the Spins. They are meant to provide a short, effective answer to the question, "What cool stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?" Each cycle, the Marketing team compiles a short list of approximately three talking points for each of these audiences for the upcoming release. For Fedora 14, they're found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points If you have a talking point that you feel meets the criteria found on the talking points SOP page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points_SOP, add it to the the table on the F14 page with supporting information. Please make your contributions and changes on the wiki page, so that the Marketing team can efficiently capture and consider your input. The Marketing team will make final adjustments to the list of talking points at their meeting on August 3, which will be announced on the marketing list and is open to everyone. If you are interested in attending the meeting, the agenda, location, and time details can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings. Following the meeting, the finalized list of talking points will be announced, and posted to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points. We welcome you to participate in the process! All the best! Ryan Rix -- Ryan Rix == http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://rix.si/ == == http://rix.si/page/contact/ if you need a word ==

New Fedora Slide Template
by Máirín Duffy 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hi ambassadors! I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't see it on Fedora Planet, that our newest design team member Emily Dirsh has created a very nice Fedora-branded template. You are more than welcome to use this template in your future presentations - the Fedora Design team would love to know what you think of it if you do. The template, with instructions on how to use it, is available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations/Template You will need to install the fonts Droid Sans (yum install google-droid-sans-fonts) and Comfortaa (currently being packaged, for now grab it at http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Comfortaa ) in order to use the template. These fonts are both free and openly-licensed so no worries on using them. Thanks, ~m
