News: Fedora 12 is NOW AVAILABLE!!

I’ve been running Fedora 12 for about a month now (Beta first, Alpha before that).  It’s the best Fedora to date.
Everything Just Works(TM).
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a system working with great sound, awesome graphics and very usable GNOME and KDE desktops.  I really like the new NetworkManager features and [...]

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.  [...]

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 [...]

Report: LinuxFest NorthWest

This past weekend, I spent some time at LinuxFest NorthWest. It was quite fun and entertaining, probably the most relaxing conference I’ve ever attended.  Interestingly enough, I didn’t rent a car, which is unusual for me.  This is because I ran into the unmistakeable Joe ‘Zonker’ Brockmeier, who offered me a ride to the event.  [...]
