Hi!
I'm new here too, so let me introduce myself:
I'm a 19 years old software developer based Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Welcome.
I'm also a member of OSS Alliance organisation (
www.oss.cz
<
http://www.oss.cz>) - OSS provides
open-source support mainly for the Czech government. It's goal is to
replace proprietary document formats
such as MS Word with OpenDocument Format which has been approved as an
ISO norm recently. Replacing few
proprietary desktop apps with opensource ones is the first step to Linux.
There is also a Czech Wiki page about Fedora Core project:
http://www.fedora.cz/
This one is listed in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommunityWebsites.
Besides that, I'm also project manager and lead developer of
opensource
PHP5.1 WEB 2.0 framework
http://sourceforge.net/projects/elitecore
Doesnt seem to be in Fedora. Might submit it in Fedora Extras. Refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras for detailed guidelines on this.
I have many ideas about Fedora and how to improve desktop, should I
post
it here too or somewhere to dev-mailing list?
If there are straight forward enhancement requests, file them against
the appropriate components in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com. If they are
general developer ideas that require more discussion, post to
fedora-devel list.
I use GNOME, but users probably likes KDE more, because it's
easier to
use. You can change everything in the Control Center and there's more
eye-candy effects than in GNOME, you can also customize toolbars more in
KDE.
We offer these and many more. So users have a choice.
Fedora 5 has the biggest number of bugs, I've seen in Fedora.
After the
first boot, I had to disable HWCursor in xorg.conf, disable ACPI to not
have any IRQ conflicts on NVIDIA based board (n-force chipset with
net,sound and video) - It wasn't hard, but it took a week or so and I
think that ordinary users doesn't even know what 'console' or
'terminal'
means.
Thats quite contrary to the usual feedback we have seen. For example,
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2006-June/msg00006.html.
I myself have been using Fedora Core 5 for all my work exclusively.
(Typing this in a FC5 system) and the release in my personal experience
has been the best so far. Do others here have widely different ideas
about this release?
Unfortunate that you have been running into bugs. Have you filed them in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com?
