If you don’t know what an ISV is, then you aren’t part of one. Independent software vendors are everyone from Red Hat to small two-person coding boutiques. They are a group in the business world that has specific needs and problems, which may or may not match with the other needs we have in general […]

ISV special interest group in Fedora
12-Aug-08… and the only way you can prevent it is to test Fedora 10 Alpha. Fortunately this is stupid easy. Grab an Alpha ISO live image, load it on to a USB device, or just run it straight up in a virtual environment either using virt-manager or from the command line: su -c ‘qemu -cdrom […]
Thanks Linux Pro Magazine for getting together some community folks from various Linux distros and letting us appear, in a side-by-side comparison, as nearly identical. ;-D This is not a criticism! It just shows there is a certain amount of convergence in the popular Linux distros, no matter how many comparison shootouts people are holding. […]
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Alpha/ReleaseNotes We’re going to keep them editable unless things really get slammed. The new wiki is structured to handle the scale of a release, unlike previous releases, and I’m happy to give it the test under fire. Something missing? Use the [edit] link. Edit link missing?

If you are a Fedora friend, Ambassador, or hacker, there are many reasons to take a shift at the Fedora booth in the .Org Pavilion at LWCE SF 2008. Here are three of my favorites: North American Fedora Ambassadors are in the midst of a nice resurgence, this is a great time to show your […]
A word about Intel’s Moblin and Fedora
25-Jul-08When the Reg article broke about Moblin moving from Ubuntu as a distro base to Fedora, a few people contacted us at the Fedora booth at OSCON to say, “Go talk with those guys right now!” So we did. Folks seem to be wondering similar questions, hopefully this post answers or points in the right […]
A travel FAIL
22-Jul-08After a long run of relatively trouble free travel, though you couldn’t ever tell from my blood pressure, I finally whiffed one this morning. I forgot/underestimated the amount of people traveling at 5 am. The security line was monumental, although it really only took me 30 minutes ot traverse. The whole thing put me up […]
Some years ago we brought the concept of a beat writer in to Fedora, as a way of merging a tradition from writing with a tradition from open source. By breaking down a monolothic document such as the Fedora release notes in to modular chunks, multiple people can collaborate on the whole document while keeping […]
This process is really simple: You write content here. We edit the heck out of it. For Alpha and Beta releases, we make a one-page here. For RC to final, we take all that writing and editing to make up one set of rump-bumping release notes. People, please! You know something already that should be […]
OSCON here we come
17-Jul-08A bunch of us Fedorans are going to be at OSCON next week. The cool Fedora booth! Lots of open source ISVs to ask, “Why aren’t you in Fedora yet?” Free stuff! Hairy booth babes! A trip to the Oregon State University Open Source Labs!! Aside from the Fedora work, I’ll also be wearing my […]
