One more fuzzy...
by Paul W. Frields 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Sorry folks, I found two more places in the release-notes module where the text referred to "Fedora Core." I fixed the problems and committed, making one more fuzzy string with a very minor change. Thanks for your patience, translators. Hopefully that should be the last of the cleaning for this release! -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE http://paul.frields.org/ gpg fingerprint: 3DA6 A0AC 6D58 FEC4 0233 5906 ACDB C937 BD11 3717 Fedora Project: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields irc.freenode.net: stickster @ #fedora-docs, #fedora-devel, #fredlug

This would make it identical to "Fedora > Overview" though... Miloš, thank you for catching these! The second is actually a redundant link that I simply removed, but I also fixed the first link to point to Join as agreed upon by project leaders earlier. Another example of why many eyes make better release notes... :-) There is one minor fuzzy string change caused by this fix. -- Paul W.

where to put this information
by Matthias Clasen 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

I recently looked at a bug where somebody wanted to know how to make lpr printers show up in the print dialogs, since in his environment, lpr is used (bug 232009, if you are interested). Our default printing configuration uses cups and we don't want to show two printing systems in the print dialog by default, since that would be confusing. It is however pretty easy to configure GTK+ to show lpr instead of cups (or both, if you want) - if you know how to. I wonder if we have a good place to put this kind of non-default configuration information, maybe a howto section in the wiki, or something like that ? And what (if any) are the steps I should take to make sure that useful information like this finds its way there ? Thanks, Matthias

24 Apr '07

Hi I am working on updating the software management guide at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SoftwareManagementGuide with the goal of releasing a new version for Fedora 7. What is required primarily? * Make sure that all references to Fedora Core and Fedora Extras are replaced with appropriate details. * Cover all the yum plugins and related utilities available in the repository * Include details on Pirut, Pup and Puplet. More details at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/SoftwareManagementGuide/WorkingNo… I would need a author or two and a editor. Anyone interested? Rahul

Please allow me to introduce myself

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Subject: David McInnis Full legal name: David Anthony McInnis City, Country: Mountain Home, Idaho, United States. Profession: US Air Force F-16 Avionics Technician. Goals in the Fedora Project: What I want to write about: I would like to write about more complex problems, such as getting drivers working. What do you want to see published: I would like to see specific guides for getting certain major brands of hardware i.e. How to get Networking cards up and running. Anything else I would like to do: I would like to get started helping out the Linux community. I'm a Fedora enthusiast and I look forward to making a difference. Historical Qualifications: My Air Force career as a maintainer provides me with constant exposure to highly technical writing. When I repair an aircraft problem I must write out the sometimes highly technical explanation of what I did in layman's terms. Professionally I am committed to a very high standard, and I very much enjoy my work. My computer skills are basically those of a very competent base user. What I mean by that is that I can successfully troubleshoot and repair 80-90% of my Fedora problems with minimal help from the Fedora FAQ Page. I am (almost) totally inept as a programmer. I can give simple BASH commands when needed. My extra skills consist of my logical step-by-step process of overcoming problems and my attention to details. I enjoy working with Linux and I am quite motivated to help you folks out!
