This video of Toshio Kuratomi’s talk at PyCon 2009 does an excellent job of explaining why developers really want to think about and solve for packaging. I’m adding it to the list of useful bits under Why should ISVs care? on the ISV special interest group page. Thanks Toshio!
(Back from nose to the grindstone, Spring at home is busy and end-of-quarter targets I’ve been working on for Red Hat are nearing completion. Appears that blogging and tracking email lists has fallen a bit to the wayside.) From Wednesday 08 April to Friday 10 April, I was in fabulous and mildly-rainy San Francisco to […]
Running a little late posting these because I wanted to produce a nice set of speaker notes, and they didn’t exist before I gave the talk at LinuxFest Northwest. In addition, there were some slides that were missing from the presentation (my bad!), which had me going to a Web browser during the talk and […]
On Saturday 04 April I gave a version of the ‘Fedora Remix’ talk at FeltonLUG. The Fedora Remix talk covers what remixes and spins are and why to care, then dives in to using all the tools available (`livecd-creator`, `livecd-iso-to-*`,` liveusb-creator`, `pungi`, and `revisor`.) I used a local `yum` repository of Fedora 10 base, using […]
More uses for `fedora-business-cards`
08-Apr-09Originally I was ambivalent about the full-bleed backside of the Fedora business card. I think of the backside of a business card as the secondary value, a space to write something useful for a recipient. I went so far as to get a small order of the cards with a blank backside just for that. […]
Intersections — “Open source lifestyle: classroom to career and beyond” from FOSSLC (was OSBootCamp)
06-Apr-09In the Fedora Ambassador gig, at nearly every event there is an opportunity to get a view of the intersection of Fedora, open source, and the many backgrounds, experiences, and questions of other people at the event. Take last Fall’s OSBootCamp as an example. This series of no-cost events was put on by an organization […]
The last day of CUE 2009 I was stuck by the pure awesomeness of one of the final presentations in the open source pavilion. It was titled Intro and Demo Open Source (Free) Software Programs for Educators! (found 1/3rd of the way down the conference sessions page). The three presenters, Shin, Katalin, and Branka, were […]
After we discovered, along with our pals from the Linux Foundation, that the Fedora Project didn’t have any one to represent Fedora on a community contributions panel at the Collaboration Summit, the right folks at LF got together with us and sorted out what we needed to do. I volunteered to represent Fedora, and got […]
My favorite thing to hear from the mouth of Red Hat’s CEO Jim Whitehurst is (to paraphrase), “Red Hat is here to help customers becomes contributors to the projects that matter to them.” In that vein, I’ve made a few submissions of a talk/keynote, “Participate or Die“, including one to this year’s Red Hat Summit […]
