[JDLL 2007] Conclusion
by H. Guémar 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

JDLL 2007 (Lyon, France) has ended few hours ago. Fedora was represented by FedoraProject Ambassadors: - Maxime Carron (Pingoomax) - Benoit Marcelin (Sereinity) - Guillaume Kulawski (Llaumgui) today - and myself Haikel Guemar (Karl_le_Rouge) - community members: killwin, boarf, kikoo, daneel And also Fedora-FR our local user group. We maintained a stand during todays, surrounded by OpenSolaris, OpenBSD, and Ubuntu-fr. We had few demo machines (2 workstations and 4 laptops under Rawhide, a macbook under F7). There were different categories of visitors: complete newbies who wanted to know "what's the difference between Fedora and Ubuntu", Linux users, few professionals etc. JDLL 2007 hosted stand from Mozilla Europe, GNOME-fr, PostgreSQL, OpenOffice.org, APRIL (French Free Software lobby group which federates many associations), Framasoft, traduc.org (French French Software translator group who host many translation project), LinuxChixFrance, etc.. Some companies were represented: Linagora, OpenSide, Kisoh (TuxDroids), Alinto, C-S etc... We had conferences about GNOME (V. Untz), Firefox 3 (Tristan Nitot, Mozilla Europe CEO) and XUL (Paul Rouget, Mozilla E.), DRMs (Sam Hocevar, Debian Project Leader and VLC developer),OpenSolaris (It rocks !), Free (as in speech) Music, Accessibility and free software, OpenOffice, Blender, RoR, Electronic voting etc.. etc .... Our communication focused more on FedoraProject and our community experience than Fedora Linux (the distro). Many people don't understand the difference between RedHat and FedoraProject and how our community works. People were quite impressed by system-config-tools, livecd-tools + revisor. Smolt and statistic project was also on the spot (2.2 millions FC6 installation, 1.7 millions for F7). People liked Rawhide's sober and clean artwork. Rawhide's animated wallpaper was a big hit ! Fedora Artwork team, you rocks guys ! Focusing our speech on the community and our philosophy (working upstream and leading innovation) has allowed us to catch the attention. People appreciated FedoraProject contribution to system-config-printer (which has been integrated in the latest Ubuntu), PackageKit, NetworkManager, selinux, AIGLX etc... We distributed few F7 live-cds we previously burnt, some will give a(nother) try to Fedora. We also spent some time presenting our new local association Fedora-FR. We had a special guest as Vincent Untz from GNOME fame who represented GNOME-fr. Llaumgui and I managed to have a lightning talk presenting FedoraProject and Fedora-FR association. This was a premiere of FedoraProject and Fedora-FR in JDLL, we hope to return next year and spread Fedora !

19 Oct '07

Dear * First of all, I know I was not quite active these last months on this forum. :( But I have good reasons for that. Big Open source production projects first ! So, I am available now. BTW, I have got one little question. If someone could help me to give me answer I would really appreciate. So, to who have I to suggest new interesting open source project in the fedora community ? Thanks in advance for your great help. BR Frederic Hornain Fedora Linux Belgium http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FredericHornain

[Fwd: Fedora Project volunteering]
by Karlie Robinson 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Anyone have a good place for a trial-by-fire volunteer looking to learn what Fedora and Linux are all about? If so, please contact Steven directly. Thanks, Karlie -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fedora Project volunteering Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:06:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Steven Meralevitz <meralevitz(a)yahoo.com> To: webpath(a)fedoraproject.org Dear Karlie, I'm new to Fedora and figure that the best way to learn Fedora Linux is to dive in and ask how I could contribute. Reporting from Chicago, I'm an English major-turned-computer geek. By day I write DHTML-based software documentation for an online brokerage firm and also run their help desk. By night, I contribute at forums.egullet.org, a food-and-cooking website. Here's a piece I wrote on my favorite divey fried chicken joint; it's called Bulletproof Cuisine: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=83603&hl= <http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=83603&hl= > Finally, I'm fluent in Spanish so I could help with international marketing of Fedora. I'm happy to write documentation and translate from GeekSpeak to everyday English, but I'd especially like to learn the nuts-and-bolts of Linux, so I'll contribute in whatever way you think would help. I look forward to joining the Fedora community and buying my very own Penguinista sweatshirt. Steven Meralevitz

Announcing first (unofficial) public fedora mirror, India.
by susmit shannigrahi 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi *, WBUT (http://wbut.net) is glad to announce the opening up of their private Fedora mirror for public use. Probably, this is the first Public fedora mirror in India.(At least I am not aware of any other.) Though due to bandwidth constrain we are not considering ourself to be listed as a official mirror, we may be so in near future. It follows the standard directory structure and only mirror i386 and x86_64. Also we don't mirror srpms. The url is http://mirror.wbut.ac.in Happy downloading. -- Regards, Susmit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi -- Regards, Susmit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi
