Another FC4 review
by Rahul Sundaram 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Hi http://tuxtops.com/?q=node/231 A fair number of the valid criticisms include perceived slowness of native Eclipse (related to GCJ?) and bugs , system-config-packages , more visibility for NetworkManager, no automount of FAT partitions, up2date applet bug Improvements planned for the next release address nearly all of the above concerns : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Future. MP3 and NTFS amoung others isnt included for legal reasons : Check http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems. Incidentally will the Fedora Foundation change the liability for any of these is a question that comes up pretty often. I guess not but we should run this through legal and getting a more official statement for future FF related announcements Things to check up: Synpatics laptop application for tweaking it and try to look at setting it up the right way by default if that isnt already happening. I would appreciate more details on whats the status of this if any of the people in this list is using this. Would also be nice to respond to this review in detail. Interested? regards Rahul

I thought I was replying to the list. Damn Reply-To! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matt Frye <mattfrye(a)gmail.com> Date: Jul 1, 2005 2:02 PM Subject: Re: Logos: everybody wants one but nobody seems to have any constructive comments. (was Re: Cool Fedora schwag idea) To: Greg DeKoenigsberg <gdk(a)redhat.com> > And Mister Frye, now that you've thrown your rock at this idea, you are > hereby *obliged* to put a new idea in the hat. :) I think I already did with my "iron gift" idea. Nonetheless, how about this Mr. DeKoenigsberg? :-) I was thinking about the "speed" at which Fedora releases. I also think of Fedora as an act in exploration. Picture, if you will, a boat. A fast boat that's unique like a catamaran. There's plenty of room for Core, Extras, etc on a sail, and there's a lot of flexibilty within the imagery. MPF

Fedoraproject.org website
by Hrishikesh Ballal 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hello All, A couple of things. I spent sometime last week trying to "checkout" the website from the CVS. I followed everything that as was written on the Fedoraproject.org website.. entered my GPG key etc. but with no luck.. I tried to check out particular modules out of the CVS and did not get anywhere.. so I emailed the repository administrator and am awaiting a reply. I hope someone can help me with that here. Anyway.. When I saw the Fedoraproject.org website (for the first time), I had a hard time navigating it finding the right info. So I started tinkering around with CSS and came up with a layout. I did not know if there is a "test" fedora server it can be uploaded and everyone can see it.. so I uploaded it on my own site.. at.. http://www.hrishikeshballal.net/other/fedora/ ... Can you please take a look at it and give me some feedback on the what I have so far so I can work on it later this week. As you can imagine all the links etc are broken.. I wanted to create a better layout. I am no artist and I don't know if we have one on this list.. I guess we need a "logo". I am not sure if anyone else is working on the website / layout,maybe he / she can take some ideas from it. But if you have any suggestions, comments brickbats on it please feel free to reply. Thanks Hrishi

And the gift tag idea re-introduced the easy to use press card idea from the hat. The docs people could either pull the gift box out completely or put their iconic symbols into the giftcard on the box. A gifted wrapped hat box even :-> > > I'm thinking we should leave the god part out, since the "Theo" is > reduced to "Fe." If the gift card were big enough, you could pick an obscure but relevant greek god as the "From:" line. -jef"pheme, goddess of gossip seems appropriate"spaleta

Meetings
by Colin Charles 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hey all, I got on a plane, got off, took a day's break from email and saw >120 messages. I was impressed This all suggests to me that this group is alive and kicking and we're reading for a meeting. And people should start stepping up So for our inagural meeting (to which time we ought to decide for), let's discuss: 1. Our goals (greg has suggested "explain, promote and recruit for individual Fedora projects.") 2. A logo competition - have a panel to decide on (non-)goat-like content 3. Swag/goodies - what do we want, after we've achieved (2) 4. How do we reward contributors - who is a contributor? - what levels do we have... - how do we give away (3) conveniently So, when's everyone free for a meeting? I've started travelling again, so err, I'm definitely going to have the last say on a good meeting time/date :) Open for suggestions, so shoot! -- Colin Charles, http://www.bytebot.net/
