Fedora sign
by Paul W. Frields 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

The Red Hat Summit planning group is going to have an extra sign made up for Fedora featuring some quotations from the excellent press coverage we've been getting. Kara is working on pulling some quotes for this purpose. I think mizmo reads this list, but if not I've cc'd the Artwork list. Mo, would the Artwork project be able to help us with a simple design for a sign? I've already alerted the Summit folks that we need to know: 1. file format required 2. size target for the sign 3. any other requirements from the signage producers I hope to have the quotes ready on Thursday morning. Would you guys be able to produce something by, say, Friday morning? I apologize for the short deadline. The opportunity came up quickly so I tried to seize it. :-) -- Paul W.

Mission: Video blogging Fedora screencasts for use in Miro
by Jef Spaleta 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Who's up to the challenge of creating an experimental rss feed for Fedora tutorial screencasts in theora that we can use in miro out of the box in Fedora 9? I've been trying to find a spare machine at work to host this sort of thing... but I've just utterly failed. I was hoping to surprise everyone with a workable demo that you could submit theora vids to for me to host as a starting point for figuring out how to really deal with open video content in a user accessible way. I think miro is a workable solution. But I've failed to deliver. So now I'm asking everyone on this list for help. Can someone put together a simple rss feed with just a couple of theora videos that miro understands as a channel? It doesn't have to be a huge hosting commitment. We don't need to start with a Broadcast Machine implementation and use Miro's inherent ability to speak torrent. We should be able to demo a feed using video houses in Fedora's people space. Once we have that, we can figure out how best to host additional screencast material as part of our Project communication strategy. I think doing torrents might make some sense, but we have to talk with infrastructure concerning hosting space requirements. And we'll have to figure out how the access control model we want to use...well I should say 'you' want to use. I'm very sure that the policy with regard to editorial control of an official Fedora video feed should be in the hands of the marketeers with input from docs and translators. Once we have that, we can move on beyond screencasts into web camera interviews and so on and so on. So who's game. I really have to apologize for not having the time to get a hosting instance together for videos as a starting point for a full discussion. -jef

I want a virtual Fedora coffee table book and you are going to help me get it.
by Jef Spaleta 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

So, does anyone remember a book called "Love" where this photographer found this cheap little plastic heart with the word Love on it and decided to get a candid picture of as many 'interesting' people holding that little chunk of plastic as they could. The photographer then compiled the pictures into a little coffee table book full of these pictures and little stories concerning the meeting. A book I repeatedly bought as a standard gift back when i was dating and V-day rolled around. But I digress.... I would really love, absolutely love, to see us compile a book like that..filled with pictures of our contributors holding up a certain trinket common plastic trinket which symbolized what our project stands for. Fill the book with pictures and short little testimonials concerning that person and Fedora. We'd have to decide on a trinket that people could easily get their hands on. If we make it a physical traditional publication, we sell it and give the profits to a charity. Or we can make it an at-cost on-demand publication. We could even hand them out as recognition awards. -jef

Hi all -- Due to the time difference and the fact that tonight is our night to treat the Fedora Ambassadors to dinner, Max and I won't be at the Marketing meeting. Rest assured we continue to spend every waking moment here marketing Fedora heavily, though. ;-) More blog posts on the way! -- Paul W.

Fedora 9 VoIP
by Grady Laksmono 30 May '08

30 May '08

Hi everyone, Does anybody has setup VoIP service in Fedora? I did not succeed when I used Fedora 8. Is there tutorial for this? Some type of walk through? I've heard that we have to request a static IP address from the ISP, but I'm not sure the validity of that information... Thanks, Grady
