Category Archives: Fedora
Wow, I just saw the saddest thing. It’s a section of the Wikipedia article about Red Hat, listing programs and projects that Red Hat does in the free software and open source communities. This is ‘programs and projects’ in the sense of, “Build a road is a project, build a freeway system is a program.” […]
Some old faces, some new faces talking about how the same-old, same-old building sustainable community in Fedora leads to new innovation and new fun stuff for people to play with in this video on Fedora 12.

A Twitter discussion thread (a) (b, c, d) made me want to i) lay out a definition for sustainable open source engineering, ii) provide some examples you may not have thought of, and iii) find out who else is doing a good job at it (or trying to, at the very least!) Sustainable open source […]
How to become a docs contributor – video
13-Nov-09This Wednesday I was helping Mel with the POSSE class in Singapore. Basically, I covered what open source content in Fedora does (technical docs, process docs, community self-knowledge docs), the common tools and styles we try to propagate, and then walked the class through how to contribute to the release notes. The exercise was focused […]
