Fedora 11 Podcast #4 - KMS with Adam Jackson

by Jack Aboutboul

Kernel Mode Setting with Adam Jackson For the fourth podcast in our Fedora 11 podcast series, we turn to the magic that is our display system. One of the coolest new features in Fedora 11 is the ability to do kernel based mode setting for the display. Kernel mode setting [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KernelModesetting] allows the kernel to set certain parameters for the display and moves this functionality out of the X server itself and out of user space. This enables cool things such as quicker graphical boot up and fancier eye candy. For more information I caught up with Fedora X and diaplay guru Adam Jackson. Adam is a lifer on the X scene and knows more about displays than you, I and probably he himself want to know. Kernel Mode Setting with Adam Jackson [http://jack.fedorapeople.org/Kernel%20Mode%20Setting%20-%20Adam%20Jackson...] In the interview, Adam talks about the hidden underbelly of Linux and X graphics and displays and how previous version of Fedora may, or may not have been able to trigger seizures. Adam also expands the possible inclusion of a kernel crash screen of death (yes it comes with flaming eyes), how collaborating with other distros and upstreams has helped him achieve great things and how that helps others, and finally, about the upcoming Boston area concert calendar.

Nairobi Fedora Day

by Arthur Buliva

Just a small "report" on how things went on Saturday 16th March. Had about 20 guests for the Install Fest and general reception was "two-thumbs-up". Ran out of media but no big deal as had preempted for guys to carry blank disks just in case so wasn't caught pants down :-)

[Event Report] Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

by Shakthi Kannan

Hi, I would like to thank the Free/Open Source Software user group members of Jaipur [1] [2] and the Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre Foundation for organizing http://fosjam.in between May 16-17, 2009 at their college premises, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. * The event has been organized in 10 days time, with heavy discussions on #lug-jaipur on irc.freenode.net. I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the students. The online registration rose to 280+. We had students coming from outside Jaipur as well, and it was a mad rush. The organizers didn't have the heart to say "no", but, they still managed to accommodate 200 people. This, I assume, is the first time that this kinda workshop has been planned at this place. People, there is no need to panic! It is not the end of the world, yet, and this is not the last workshop that we are going to do in Jaipur. * The profiles of the user group members are at: http://fosjam.in/about/about-lug-jaipur/ Special thanks to all of them for their energy, spirit, dynamism in organizing the event. * I also met students from Malaviya National Institute of Technology, (MNIT), Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology (SKIT), Gyan Vihar Institute of Technology et. al. * It was a pleasure to meet the Director of the Institution, Mr. Arpit Agarwal, a young, open-minded entrepreneur, who was very happy and eager to hear students talking about Free/Open Source. His continued support for this cause, is greatly appreciated. He is happy to help us in organizing more workshops for the young minds, or even a national FOSS unconference in Jaipur! * There are about 17+ colleges around Jaipur, and workshops have to be taken to other places like Kota, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner et. al. Most of them are affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University (RTU). * Some students are fluent in English. Most of them prefer to converse in Hindi. Of course, technical jargon is in English. So, it is mostly Hinglish [3]. * A separate IRC session was organized to show people how to login and use IRC. * Lot of them use Fedora or some distribution, and are extremely happy with it. Those who enjoy it have realized the power of Free/Open Source Software. The others have started to realize that there is something important here that they can work with. * My presentations, code, documentation are available at: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads.html * Some photos taken during the trip are at: http://www.shakthimaan.com/Mambo/gallery/album56 * The organizers could possible provide more concrete statistics on the event. Please bear for some time for people to get back their sleep, and you will hear more from blogs, event reports, photos. This is just the beginning. Best regards, SK [1] http://lugj.in [2] http://groups.google.co.in/group/lugj [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinglish -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
