FUDCon F13: Another SNAFU

As some of you may know, I have been working hard to get the Fedora 12 media ready for delivery.  It’s been replicated, the sleeves printed and the boxes are waiting at our CD Replication vendor.  However, even though we thought we had covered all of our bases, we missed some details with regard to [...]

Fedora FAD @ UTOSC 2009: Fedora-Event-Splash (aka FES)

Even though I’m extremely involved in the organization and management of the Utah Open Source Conference, I’ve got a big project in which I’m interested.  It’s the new concept around Fedora-Event-Splash (or FES, pronounced FEZ).
This project was dreamed up by Mr. Ian Weller and he graciously let me tag along to get the thing going.  [...]

Wow: UTOSC 2009 is actually 2 weeks away!

I am amazed by the UTOS Core Team and all of the work these awesome volunteers have put in to make the Utah Open Source Conference a success!  I just can’t believe it is exactly 2 weeks away from conference time.  I am so excited!  Just have to finish my bathroom in the next few [...]

FUDCon F13: Toronto, there are too many paths!

At the moment, I’m committed to heading up to the Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) this December 5-7.  And while it’s promising to be a blast with all of my Fedora friends, great hackfests, sessions and even a project I’ve decided to start working on.
I have been looking at airfare, hotel and other travel [...]

Software Freedom Day: What I’ll be Doing!

So tomorrow is Software Freedom Day.  And because I’ve been a big slacker this year, I didn’t get the time to set up an event as I had hoped.  However, because others in our community are awesome and didn’t want to see this day go completely to the Microsofties and non-free software folks, there’s going [...]

Want to attend UTOSC 2009 for free? Just pass out some flyers!

I’m looking for someone to print out flyers and take them to local colleges in the Mountain West to promote UTOSC 2009.  This includes Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada.  I’m willing to give out free passes to UTOSC 2009 to anyone who helps out with this project.  Would you be [...]

UTOSC 2009: Breakfast is served!

As part of my effort to help out folks coming in for the Utah Open Source Conference 2009, we have filled up our household with out-of-towners. However, when I asked my awesome sweetie , Jennifer, about food, she had this reply:
21:37 <herlo> did you say you were willing to cook breakfast for us during [...]

Event: SELF: Day 0.5-2.0

Hi all,
Now that I am back from the SouthEast LinuxFest at Clemson University, I wanted to report on the fun we had this weekend.  I’m completely wiped out, but it was a very fun and productive weekend.  I wanted to say thanks to the gang at SELF for a job well done.  With only minor [...]

SELF: Day 0-0.5

Lovely flight in First Class with Delta.  There was a bit of weather in Atlanta so we ended up looping around for about 30 extra minutes.  Not too bad, really.  Got the car (thanks SELF organizers for picking up that tab) and drove up to Clemson, was very very long drive!  Had to stop for [...]

Hack Night Reborn: UTOS-ConMan needs some features

So, you don’t know what I am talking about?  Not sure where this is all leading?  Well, if you are interested in learning Python and Django or are an artistic hacker, we need you.
Last year, we started a project called utos-conman.  This project in about 3-5 months became the system that ran the speaker approval [...]
