Help with parcellite icon in the message tray
by Ankur Sinha 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hi, I use parcellite with Gnome, and it has an icon in the bottom right corner in the message tray. There's something wrong happening here - when I hover my mouse over the "Disks" notification, for example, the icon is highlighted if my mouse is anywhere over it. However, with parcellite, the icon is only highlighted if my mouse is at a particular area over the icon - not over the entire icon region. The dropbox icon has a similar issue too. Would anyone know what's causing this? Is the issue with the icons, or with the message tray? -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!

Hi All, As we discussed last week, we have an open seat on the WG. Let's get discussing some candidates for replacement. During the meeting we had both Rex Dieter and Allan Day brought up. I've CC'd them both so they can weigh in on whether they're even interested or not :). If there are more suggestions, please chime in on this thread! josh

As much as > we'd love to offer flash drives instead of DVDs it's still not a viable > option because flash drives are still 10x more expensive than DVDs. Not > much has changed there in the last two years :/ We discussed the topic in FAmSCo again. The topic was discussed on several mailing lists and we've only registered strong demand for DVDs of Fedora Workstation. There have been some suggestions to add Fedora Server to FW as a virtual machine, but no one has volunteered to execute this idea and we really need to move the matter forward. So the plan is to produce Fedora Workstation DVDs, 64bit only because we don't know of 32-bit computers which could run FW reasonably. We may also consider some less power hungry option for the regions of APAC and LATAM (probably Xfce Spin). But it only will be an alternative, Fedora Workstation DVD is what we want to distribute globally. The quantities and whether the alternative DVD will be produced is at the discretion of the regions because the production is paid from their budgets and they're the closest to users, so they should know the best what they need. Other kinds of media might be also considered and used in the end, but it doesn't stop the DVD production because DVDs will remain our primary media for this release. The plan is of course a subject of change. I just felt it was necessary to push it forward and propose a concrete solution because there is not much time left. Jiri
