Re: FC7 through FC10 Name Proposals
by Markus McLaughlin
Hi Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers!!!
This is definitely an exciting day for us Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers!
I am downloading the MAC-PPC edition of FC6 all day today on my day off
from work. I love the name ZOD, very cool, and a nice reference to
General
Zod of Superman lore. Now here are names that I hope will be considered
for the upcoming releases. Star Trek turned 40 this year so I
propose the
name for Fedora Core 7 to be Spock. I will write to startrek.com and
trektoday.com and the Trek BBS if that is okay to be used since it
won't be
a name that can be sold. Along with the Spock name, I want to encourage
programmers who know how to create themes to create an "LCARS" theme
that looks a lot like a computer display on board the Enterprise-D as
shown
in ST-TNG complete with animated icons and/or panels.
Here are names I hope will be considered for FC8 through FC10.
Athena, a
Greek Goddess, would make an appealing name for FC8. FC9 should be
named either Brando, Kurtz, Vito, Jules, Vega, Tarantino, Starbuck,
Baltar,
Pryor, Kennedy, or Boston.
In honor of Linus Torvalds' work on the Linux kernel, Fedora Core 10
will
be known as "Hattu," which is Finnish for Hat. It will also honor my
Finnish
roots as well, half of my ancestors/family comes from Finland so I
insist
on this name as well. The other half being Irish American, my
ancestors
came from Ireland.
Please consider these names in the months to come but PLEASE use "Hattu"
for Fedora Core 10, it would be the logical thing to do....
BTW, Fedora Core needs an optional Sidebar a la Vista in both GNOME and
KDE, customizable of course. I think FC should have a really good
expanded
"Start" panel as well in future releases. Finally, some cool
animated icons
would be a nice touch in FC7...

Navigation links for DUG Draft pages
by John Babich
Paul / Karsten:
Now that we are directing people to the Desktop User Guide in the FC6
default home page in Firefox, I suggest that we add navigation links (such
as top, previous, next) to make it easier to get around the DUG in the wiki.
I can appreciate not using these controls when the goal was to produce valid
Docbook code. Since the emphasis is now on leaving the DUG in wiki
format, I suggest we make the wiki viewing experience as pleasant as
possible.
This is especially important for the new users who are our target
audience.
We can always strip these out if and when we want to generate documents
in other formats. Is there already an approach in practice for this
facility?

Self-Introduction: Jason Cross
by Jason Cross
Self Introduction:
Jason Aaron Cross
Waite Park, Minnesota, USA
*Job: Linux Systems Administrator
*Company (University): St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota
*Your goals in the Fedora Project:
I'd like to write documentation, but I'd also like to be helpful to
others in the Fedora Documentation Project as well. I can review
documentation for technical accuracy and edit it for clarity. So
whatever needs attention right now is what I'd like to work on. I'm
completely up for suggestions concerning what I should start working on
first.
Historical qualifications:
*What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
I'm the only Linux system administrator at the university where I work
so I'm responsible for all levels of Linux service and support from Help
Desk to Desktop Administration to Server Administration. I spend a fair
amount of time listening to users' needs and problems which I address
accordingly. Quite often that involves writing short mini-howtos for
the professors to pass onto lab assistants or students.
*What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from the university where
I am currently employed (St. John's University). I'm an entirely
self-taught Linux system administrator and have used Linux for my own
personal use since I was in high school.
*What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface
design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc.
I'm an experienced Java programmer and am also comfortable in Perl.
*What makes you an excellent match for the project?
I find it rewarding to help others learn and use Linux. I've converted
or at least introduced many of my friends to Linux. I hope that by
contributing to the Fedora documentation project I can help even more
people learn and use Linux.

Hint for screenshots: Constrain the width to no more than 500 pixels to
limit both the download size for wiki readers, and to make sure that the
graphic can be used in a multitude of media. I changed the one in the
"Logging In" section as an example (also because it was out of date).
There is a short bit on this in the Documentation Guide, but that's
probably not really useful seeing as the site's down right now. FYI for
later.
