Fedora Project Sign for GITEX Demo Pod
by John Babich 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

I need immediate feedback for the GITEX Demo Pod sign which Red Hat is generously providing. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/GitexExampleSign for the example provided by Red Hat. Here is my attempt: <Sign> <FEDORA PROJECT LOGO> <RED HAT> The Fedora Project A Collection of Projects Sponsored by Red Hat and Developed as a Partnership between the Open Source Community and Red Hat Engineers * Produces Fedora 7, a Leading-edge Linux Distribution with a Graphical Installer, Advanced Desktop, Security and Administration Tools. * Provides Base Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and One Laptop Per Child. * Hosts the Fedora Localization Project, for Translating and Adapting Applications, Documentation and Websites to Specific Languages, Regions and Cultures * Develops Revisor, a Free Tool for Producing Custom Live CDs and USB Sticks. http://fedoraproject.org </Sign> Best Regards, John Babich Volunteer, Fedora Project

Have to agree about Fedora(TM) and not side-by-side Red Hat(R). There is a reason why Fedora(TM) exists, and there should be no hinting of otherwise. People who don't know Fedora have either: 1. Heard of it 2. Assume the name relates to Red Hat (at least select languages) 3. Won't assume or know anything You don't need to put the Red Hat(R) logo next to Fedora(TM) to add any value or other confusion or gesture that spirals in countless different directions or mindshares. In fact, I think the comment "like OpenSuSE" was a solid knock. Just my $0.02 as an outsider looking in at Red Hat for a good 12 years. Fedora(TM) has its own, standalone, reputation, and it is good. -- Bryan J Smith - mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org http://thebs413.blogspot.com Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Red Hat Launches New Package Repository for Enterprise Linux
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi It is a Fedora Project rather than a Red Hat specific effort but good to get the word out. http://www.linuxelectrons.com/news/application/10941/red-hat-launches-new-p… "Red Hat has launched a new package repository for enterprise-class Linux (EL) distributions derived from Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, called EPEL. Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a community of package maintainers working from inside of Fedora" Rahul

Hi EPEL moves ahead... http://www.linux.com/feature/118304 If you need a software app that is not included or supported in the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS distribution, Red Hat's new Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository might be an excellent place to go fishing.

Linux: Redirecting Core Dumps
by Rahul Sundaram 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Hi Apport is a system wide crash dump handler. Will Woods, QA lead in Fedora has been working on adopting Apport from Ubuntu and Neil Horman is pushing some reimplemented patches upstream that is required for this feature in true Fedora fashion. Originally targeted for the next release, this has now been moved to Fedora 9. A important feature that will make it easy for users to report issues. Good to keep an eye on. http://kerneltrap.org/node/14010 Neil pointed to Ubuntu's Apport, "Ubuntu has implemented lots of their functionality with some patches that they never pushed upstream (and IMHO, have some security issues). This is my attempt to do what their doing sanely, so the other distro's (primarily fedora) can take advantage of this technology." http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureApport Rahul

You represent Fedora, not Red Hat. This will confuse the visitors - and someone must approve the use of the RedHat Logo to.

Fedora 8 To Integrate OpenJDK
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Jul '07

29 Jul '07

Hi http://phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=NTkzMA "One of the most recently added features to the Fedora 8 feature list is IcedTea, which is the open-source version of Java (OpenJDK). The plan is to make IcedTea the default JPackage environment and will replace GCJ. There are Fedora packages for IcedTea already maintained (at ClassPath.org) and the dependencies needed to build IcedTea can already be found in Fedora Rawhide. What's left to be accomplished is resolving issues pertaining to questionable license headers, while lower on the totem pole is integration with the open-source Java web-plugin (gcjwebplugin) followed by PPC and PPC64 support. If IcedTea doesn't make the cut for Fedora 8, GCJ will be left in as the default JPackage environment. More information on the OpenJDK plans for Fedora 8 can be found in the Fedora Project Wiki." http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/IcedTea Rahul

A computer in every pot

Hi The user interface is called Sugar and not the OS itself but a good article nevertheless. BBC published a couple of articles with more technical information and videos featuring Christopher Blizzard, lead OLPC team in Red Hat. http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9539441 "If the ingenuity of the XO’s hardware is impressive, the machine’s software is truly ground-breaking. Red Hat, the world’s largest Linux distributor, has provided an extremely compact version of its Fedora operating system, called Sugar, that uses a mere 130 megabytes of the XO’s flash memory. By comparison, Windows XP requires 1.65 gigabytes." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6908946.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6679431.stm Rahul
