Meme: First thing I do after installing (insert your distro here)
Obviously, my distro is Fedora, but for those of you who might choose something else, let’s play along.
This meme comes from Valent Turkovic’s blog post a few days ago, so I thought I’d share mine.
$ su -c ‘yum install nautilus-open-terminal’
This enables me to right click on the desktop and click ‘Open in Terminal’. This is [...]
Fedora Classroom begins November 8
Want to learn a new tool within Fedora? Interested in getting a better hold on your skillset? Want to share with others something you’ve learned? Let us know at the newly formed Fedora Classroom.
As part of the marketing team meeting this week, Kevin Fenzi brought up the Fedora-Classroom. While #fedora serves a good purpose of [...]
Screencast: gnome-do v0.5 for Fedora 10
Back in July, I built gnome-do from scratch, identifying and helping get a few bugs worked out along the way. It was all in an effort to create a screencast on the future version of gnome-do for Fedora 10. Gnome-do appears to be based upon Quicksilver from Mac, but gnome-do is bound to surpass it [...]
ScreenCast: Fedora Talk with Twinkle
If you haven’t heard, Fedora now has a VOIP (Voice Over IP) server called Fedora Talk. Information about it can be found at talk.fedoraproject.org.
Essentially, the goal of Fedora Talk is to make it easier for use Fedorans to talk with one another, hold conference calls and accommodate impromptu conversations that need to happen over voice. [...]
Going to Ohio LinuxFest? Volunteer!
In last night’s FAmNA meeting, we discussed the fact that nobody had remembered to register to help at the Fedora booth at OLF. David brought it up and within a few minutes we had most of the spots filled.
As an event organizer, I understand the importance of having a booth manned at all times. If [...]

I’m not sure if this is the first FAD – NA, but we’re definitely in a good resurgence with [...]
Over the last few days
Quite a bit has transpired this weekend. Thought I had better get caught up on it before I forget.
Missing Teeth
My Son Shaun lost his fourth tooth this past week. He was so excited about it, he called me as soon as it happened. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there to experience it, but I’ve been assigned to [...]
UTOSC 2008: Day 2
Day 2 seemed to be even smoother than day 1, much of the time, running around putting out little fires, but not too many. I was the room manager for Paul’s Fedora Remix talk, quite enjoyed that, even though most of it I already knew.
I also got to enjoy both keynotes today. Howard Tayler was [...]
Writers Block and things that need to get done
So its soo close. So very close, to the Utah Open Source Conference 2008. Only, I have to write this paragraph about the conference itself and what it means to open source in Utah. What it means to be involved in this amazing conference.
This blog post is supposed to be about something useful, but I [...]
Wait for it… Wait for it… NOW!!
In the next 3 weeks, I will be among the busiest people I know. Probably the only people busier are Presidential hopefuls, Olympic organizers and sadly, those fighting in Georgia. The reason I am writing this post is to help me remember what I have left to complete between now and the Utah Open Source [...]
