Re: FC7 through FC10 Name Proposals
by Markus McLaughlin 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hi Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers!!! This is definitely an exciting day for us Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers! I am downloading the MAC-PPC edition of FC6 all day today on my day off from work. I love the name ZOD, very cool, and a nice reference to General Zod of Superman lore. Now here are names that I hope will be considered for the upcoming releases. Star Trek turned 40 this year so I propose the name for Fedora Core 7 to be Spock. I will write to startrek.com and trektoday.com and the Trek BBS if that is okay to be used since it won't be a name that can be sold. Along with the Spock name, I want to encourage programmers who know how to create themes to create an "LCARS" theme that looks a lot like a computer display on board the Enterprise-D as shown in ST-TNG complete with animated icons and/or panels. Here are names I hope will be considered for FC8 through FC10. Athena, a Greek Goddess, would make an appealing name for FC8. FC9 should be named either Brando, Kurtz, Vito, Jules, Vega, Tarantino, Starbuck, Baltar, Pryor, Kennedy, or Boston. In honor of Linus Torvalds' work on the Linux kernel, Fedora Core 10 will be known as "Hattu," which is Finnish for Hat. It will also honor my Finnish roots as well, half of my ancestors/family comes from Finland so I insist on this name as well. The other half being Irish American, my ancestors came from Ireland. Please consider these names in the months to come but PLEASE use "Hattu" for Fedora Core 10, it would be the logical thing to do.... BTW, Fedora Core needs an optional Sidebar a la Vista in both GNOME and KDE, customizable of course. I think FC should have a really good expanded "Start" panel as well in future releases. Finally, some cool animated icons would be a nice touch in FC7... Mark McLaughlin - marknetproductionsentrance.blogspot.com - Hudson, MA, USA

Navigation links for DUG Draft pages
by John Babich 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Paul / Karsten: Now that we are directing people to the Desktop User Guide in the FC6 default home page in Firefox, I suggest that we add navigation links (such as top, previous, next) to make it easier to get around the DUG in the wiki. I can appreciate not using these controls when the goal was to produce valid Docbook code. Since the emphasis is now on leaving the DUG in wiki format, I suggest we make the wiki viewing experience as pleasant as possible. This is especially important for the new users who are our target audience. We can always strip these out if and when we want to generate documents in other formats. Is there already an approach in practice for this facility?

Release notes for the next release
by Rahul Sundaram 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi Can I start doing changes directly to the wiki for the next text release or are we planning to do any release note updates for FC6? The only major change that I wanted to get to the wider community is the list of common bugs and I did a separate announcement for that. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2006-October/msg00015.… Is there anything else that requires a package update or can I proceed with the changes for the next release?

Self-Introduction: Jason Cross
by Jason Cross 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Self Introduction: Jason Aaron Cross Waite Park, Minnesota, USA *Job: Linux Systems Administrator *Company (University): St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota *Your goals in the Fedora Project: I'd like to write documentation, but I'd also like to be helpful to others in the Fedora Documentation Project as well. I can review documentation for technical accuracy and edit it for clarity. So whatever needs attention right now is what I'd like to work on. I'm completely up for suggestions concerning what I should start working on first. Historical qualifications: *What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past? I'm the only Linux system administrator at the university where I work so I'm responsible for all levels of Linux service and support from Help Desk to Desktop Administration to Server Administration. I spend a fair amount of time listening to users' needs and problems which I address accordingly. Quite often that involves writing short mini-howtos for the professors to pass onto lab assistants or students. *What level and type of computer skills do you have? I have a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from the university where I am currently employed (St. John's University). I'm an entirely self-taught Linux system administrator and have used Linux for my own personal use since I was in high school. *What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc. I'm an experienced Java programmer and am also comfortable in Perl. *What makes you an excellent match for the project? I find it rewarding to help others learn and use Linux. I've converted or at least introduced many of my friends to Linux. I hope that by contributing to the Fedora documentation project I can help even more people learn and use Linux. *GPG KEYID and fingerprint: jcross(a)lin1.cs.csbsju.edu 4% gpg --fingerprint C316B741 pub 1024D/C316B741 2006-10-28 [expires: 2007-10-28] Key fingerprint = 72BB 6B41 08D7 422C C440 0C68 0282 5153 C316 B741 uid Jason Aaron Cross (Fedora Docs Project) <jjacross(a)mchsi.com> sub 2048g/6D5857E2 2006-10-28 [expires: 2007-10-28]

Of course I want to watch videos, from non-porno sites. For me is this brrr... typical, what do you think of the american culture: Is there any (Indira Ghandi)...

From top to bottom, the areas are: > * The ''menu panel'' Hint for screenshots: Constrain the width to no more than 500 pixels to limit both the download size for wiki readers, and to make sure that the graphic can be used in a multitude of media. I changed the one in the "Logging In" section as an example (also because it was out of date). There is a short bit on this in the Documentation Guide, but that's probably not really useful seeing as the site's down right now. FYI for later. -- Paul W.
