Help gather information on hardware that you're using with Linux
by Ankur Sinha 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hi folks, Most of you would know this already, but there's this website that gathers information on the hardware that we're all using to run Linux: https://linux-hardware.org/ If you have a minute, please consider uploading information from your system too. Others can then use the website to query how well their hardware works. https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?view=howto On Fedora, providing information requires: $ sudo dnf install hw-probe edid-decode to install the packages, and then: $ sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload to run the probe and upload information. You can then remove the packages if you wish. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

by Alessio 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hello. There is an idea to create a Fedora Zine. It will be printed and distributed at conferences and events, (a downloadable copy will also be available, of course). The idea is at their early stages right now. But if you have something to suggest, or better, if you have drawings, photos, schetches, anything suitable for the project, you are welcome to submit it. This is the related ticket https://pagure.io/design/issue/682 Thanks, A.

TomAPC: Introduction
by Tom Collins 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

Hey Folks, I posted this on my Pagure ticket ( https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/56) but thought I'd introduce myself here also as it may be a bigger audience! First of all, I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to the people over on #fedora-join. I joined a few days back, just watching to get my bearings, and when I plucked up the courage to message, I was met by "We would love to counsel you the way forward." THIS made me feel at ease straight away, and a great welcome to the Fedora family. Massive kudos to both alciregi and shehroz on the IRC channel, you've made my entry to the FOSS world just that bit easier! Now on with the introduction - my name is Tom and I am a SysAdmin from London, looking to cut my teeth in the FOSS world, both by expanding the skills I currently have as well as learning a new thing or 2! Having worked in big tech for the last 6 years in a variety of roles, coming from IT Inventory through tech writing, program/project management and then to full SysAdmin, I hope this gives me a breadth of knowledge and experience I can hopefully bring to the Fedora family. The first part that caught my eye looking through some documentation was the Fedora Infra team. This of course will help build on my current SysAdmin skill set, which is admittedly built on the bubble of in-house procedures and tools we have (something I want to change!), as well as learning how the infrastructure of a large FOSS organisation keeps millions of devices and users working! Having been in the IRC channels for the last few days, it would be great to help with the documentation side of things as well, as it's always a challenge in all the teams I have worked in to keep it up to date and relevant, and makes a great way to learn how an infrastructure works :) The second area that caught my eye is CommOps - having been a program manager for a while before moving back to individual contributor, I do miss discussing in groups the future direction of a project! So maybe this may be a good path to look into as well? I'm sorry this has ended up being a bit of a ramble! I hope it starts to make sense the more I get introduced to the project more and get my teeth stuck in. Glad for any advice that you all have on potential directions, and how to get started. Thanks! Tom (FAS, IRC & Telegram: TomAPC)
