Fedora 9 Names/Themes Ideas
by Markus McLaughlin 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

The names that come to mind are Vulcan, Vader, HAL, Cyberdine (Terminator Reference,) Suomi (Linus Torvalds' Reference,) Hawking, and Fife (Don Knotts' Reference) for Fedora 9 or 10. As far as a theme, a ST-TNG "LCARS" style desktop that has a similar look to those screens Data and Picard are always using on TNG. Or a "Virtual Library" or "Virtual Cinema" theme. Sometime this coming winter, I hope to have a FTP server set up with Fedora 8 or 9 "Everything" set available for anyone to download a component of Fedora! I am still hoping to find amateur writers willing to review Linux Distributions for my Linux Blog. Happy Holidays from an ambitious Linux & Mac User/Aspiring Screenwriter in Hudson, MA....

OLPC sued for patent infringement in Nigeria
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, The peril of patents on software... http://lwn.net/Articles/260053/ "A company called Lagos Analysis Corporation has sent out a press release announcing a patent infringement lawsuit against the One Laptop Per Child project. "The patent infringement lawsuit was filed on November 22nd, 2007 as a result of OLPC's willful infringement of LANCOR's Nigeria Registered Design Patent #RD8489 and illegal reverse engineering of its keyboard driver source codes for use in the XO Laptops." The patent text is hard to find, but it seems to relate to the design of keyboards which facilitate the typing of text in multiple languages." Rahul

FOSDEM -Brussels- Kick off
by Frederic Hornain 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, I glad to announce you the FOSDEM 2008 project start. it will take place on 23 and 24 February 2008 So, we have approximately three month to prepare it. And everybody is welcomed to participate in order to make it successful. At that time we are three who have plan to be their. Some questions still remains : Is it be a problem for the Fedora Community if we share our development room with CentOs as we did last year ? ( Go to the Fedora Fosdem 2008 wiki web page for more details - see below- ) Would Fedora community agree to share its development room with Red Hat JBoss ? I know we are on Fedora mailing list and it is not appropriated but as Fedora and Jboss are part of Red Hat and it will make like easier to FOSDEM Team to Group us together. That is why I did it. Do you know a point of contact for JBoss community for such event ? - What is about marketing stuffs ? what do we need ? How are we going to proceed ? Do you know fedora people who could be interested to present their project ? Thanks a lot for your help. Feel free to contact me if you have any question, remarks and so on... Rem: All details would be at the following URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2008 Frederic Hornain Have fun with F8. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FredericHornain

Dealing with .rpmnew and .rpmsave files
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi A useful article on a long existing feature. http://www.linux.com/feature/121476 "Nobody ever thinks to mention .rpmnew and .rpmsave extensions to new users of Fedora or Red Hat derivatives. Instead, most users suddenly discover that these files are accumulating on their hard drives, or notice a fleeting message on the screen about them during a version upgrade. Many, I suspect, simply leave them alone, uncertain what to do about them. Yet dealing with them is simply a matter of using a few basic commands, and can be a necessity for ensuring trouble-free upgrades in the future." Rahul

by Jonathan Roberts 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Finally, I've managed to put up another interview! I'm sorry it's taken me so long, I've had the answers to the questions sitting in my inbox for a *long time* now. It's with Daniel Walsh, lead developer of SELinux - so you can guess what this one is about :D Find it here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/SELinux And as always, digg it here: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Easier_security_in_Fedora_8 I haven't submitted it to any other news sites yet, so if anybody else would like to do that that would be awesome :D Currently procrastinating from more pressing matters! Best wishes, Jon
