talking points for F10
by Karsten Wade 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Having a common set of discussion topics (talking points) helps Ambassadors and others to remember key message points. It also gives us several key paragraphs we can request be included in any locale-specific release announcements. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Announcements/TalkingPoints Rather than have one, dry release announcement, or trying to figure out how to translate our whimsical announcement and still have it be relevant, the talking points let an Ambassador or L10n team write a native language announcement from scratch in a locally acceptable style. What should we have in that talking point list, with what language around it? Remember, the talking points aren't for using verbatim (although you can), they are for creating a common set of discussion topics when interacting about the release. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41

by Ian Weller 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hey all, I haven't heard a thing about the Store SIG [1] for months. Is that still going on behind the scenes or does it need revived? -- Ian Weller <ianweller(a)gmail.com> http://ianweller.org GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36 "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." ~ Douglas Adams

A Closer look at Red Hat's Plymouth
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi Detailed look at how Plymouth works. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora_plymouth&num=1 "Back in July we shared Red Hat's intentions to replace RHGB with Plymouth, a new graphical boot process that is able to benefit from the latest Linux graphics capabilities. Red Hat engineers had primarily designed Plymouth around a forthcoming feature we've talked about quite a bit known as kernel mode-setting, which provides end-users with a cleaner and flicker-free boot experience. In September in The State of Kernel Mode-Setting we then shared more information on Plymouth along with a brief video. Most recently we published another video of Plymouth that shows the tighter integration between the boot process and starting the GNOME Display Manager. Today though we are looking at Plymouth and its different plug-ins along with providing a few more videos." Rahul

Announcing the Fedora Sugar Spin
by Rahul Sundaram 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi, OLPC Project uses a derivative of Fedora as the operating system for it's XO laptops. One of the unique features of these laptops, is an environment called Sugar developed as a collaboration between Red Hat and other developers and now being maintained by Sugarlabs, an independent non-profit organization. The Fedora Project has released a new spin, a live CD with the Sugar environment by default and a number of additional activities including sugar-browse based on XULRunner and sugar-write based on Abiword. Furthermore, the Fedora liveusb-creator software has been updated to include support for this spin. For people developing the Sugar environment or those curious about it but don't have an OLPC system, this live cd can be a handy way to dive in. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-October/msg00012.… Rahul

Fedora on Greek media
by Dimitris Glezos 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

A short email to talk a bit about 3 recent Fedora events in Greece: A conference, a radio broadcast and an appearance on TV! Athens Digital Week took place 10 days ago. Max Spevack gave a keynote speech and I presented the Fedora community in a panel about Online communities. 800 flyers, 250 CDs, 1500 stickers, 10.000 mini-newspapers with a short article on our talks. Full recap in Greek and machine translation to English at: * http://dimitris.glezos.com/weblog/2008/10/25/athens-digital-week-recap/. * http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdimitris.glezos.com%2F… On Thursday I was invited on "Skai 100,3", a popular radio station broadcasting in Athens. We discussed for some minutes about Fedora, Live media, and the Greek Fedora team providing support to users who might need it. Overall a nice discussion, which caused a small surge of email in my inbox about questions on how to install Fedora. Blog post and audiotape link (in Greek, discussion at minutes 10:50-18:00). * http://www.skai.gr/master_avod.php?id=97828&cid=1491&bc=1491&lsc=2 Finally, yesterday we filmed next Monday's "Digital Greece" TV show, which is broadcasted on the National TV channel "ET-1" on 6pm. I was wearing the awesome Fedora ambassadors polo shirt and talked about Fedora, OLPC, and the Fedora Localization Project. The show will be broadcasted on Monday 27/10, 6pm on the "ET-1" TV station. I'll post a link to the video on a blog post when it's available. And that's it from the Greek Fedora embassy. =) -δ -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

four f's poster designs
by Máirín Duffy 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hey folks, I put together some designs for the four f's posters. They are *very* different than our infinity freedom community ones. Because they are such a departure (a lot less shiny) and a little weird, I won't be broken-hearted if you hate them, just let me know. I designed them so you could use any of them alone, or you can use them together and connect them to make an even bigger poster. They are also designed so they are more of a backdrop than a main event. Influences include sari fabric (do you see it?), Red Hat's website background, and quilts! You'll see what I mean when you look at them, I think/hope. Anyhow, here's the individual posters. There's one for each f, then there are two that have all four f's on them: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/collateral/fourfs/individual%20posters/ Here's what they look like connected to make a bigger poster and what they look like lined up horizontally: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/collateral/fourfs/four-fs-four-posters.png Let me know what you think. If we want to go for another look let's talk about the kind of look/feel we should try. Any Fedora Ambassadors reading this, I'd especially like to hear what direction you think we should go in as you're the folks with these posters at events competing with other booths/tables. ~m

fedora greeting cards
by Máirín Duffy 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I had a wonky idea today, I was thinking maybe it might spark another idea. What if we had greetings cards, like season's greetings or happy birthday, that had a nice design on the front (maybe we could use some nice creative commons photos or open clip art designs), had the standard slogan / signing area on the inside right-hand side, and on the inside left hand side had some writing/explanation of where the artwork came from, the license, and how the recipient could scan it in or montage it or do whatever they like under that license. then maybe the back of the card could have a sleeve with a fedora cd (kind of like the money envelope cards, but fedora instead of money ;-) ) Just a weird idea I had in passing. ~m
