Fedora Projects Weekly Report
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Beginning this week, We have a new effort in place to project timely and
crisp weekly reports for everyone in the Fedora community to gather
information on the happenings in the Fedora universe in a easily
digestible and referenceable format.
Enjoy it at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/WeeklyReports/
This will be part of and compliment the existing weekly news in
http://fedoranews.org and published in fedora-announce list.
Thanks for those who already signed up as report writers - Fedora
Release Engineer, Jesse Keating, and Fedora Ambassador, Tejas Dinker in
a short notice of few hours. Thanks to our newly elected fearless Fedora
Extras Steering Committee chair, Thorsten Leemhuis for providing this
week's report on Fedora Extras project. Special credits to Fedora
Ambassador, Chitlesh Goorah for initiating the report on the Kadischi,
Fedora Live CD project and providing excellent look and feel with some
wiki magic. Please continue the good work. We expect to pick up more
content from report writers and translators in the near future.
Contributions and feedback is as always most welcome. Don't hesitate to
contact me off list if you need any specific help with your contributions.

Free software events for December 2005
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Free software magazine has a year end report which mentions Fedora
Directory Server.
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/newsletters/event_report_...
"Freeing of the directory server software
It always gives me a warm feeling when proprietary software is freed.
This happened when Red Hat bought Netscape’s Directory Server. They
promptly released it as free software. On the second of this month Red
Hat released the next incarnation of the Fedora Directory Server 1.0
<http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/home/company/news/prarchive/2005/press_fe...>.
This includes many enterprise level features of LDAP, such as version 3
of the protocol, multi-master replication and Windows synchronisation.
Along with the engine, it includes console and administration utilities;
all of which can be ported from GNU/Linux to other platforms.
The strategy that Red Hat uses in its Open Directory product is typical.
It first releases the latest and new “bleeding edge” software as free
software to the community through the Fedora project, giving the
community what they want. After it has become more mature, and the
stability is guaranteed, they use it to release their enterprise stable
and static version of the product—still free software—to corporations,
governments and other enterprise customers giving them what they want.
It’s a good example of how to make money using free software and the
community business model."

FC4 DVD and FC5 release
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello,
Today a question can into my mind.
"Should all the FC4 DVDs which are in stock, be shipped before the
official release of FC5 ?
sure Alex and Greg will have something to say about it :)
But are you guys only the ones who are responsible to ship these items?
How does it actually work?
Definitely the next question arises, as from when the FC5 DVDs will be
ready for shipment?
Does the project already have contacts who can manufacture these?
Lots of questions will arise and surely lots of resposibilities as well.

Fwd: Call for Papers for LinuxTag 2006 is still open

Dear Friend,
an eventful year 2005 has ended. An important event for the Open Source and
Free Software world was a successful LinuxTag 2005. One key for the success of
this event was your commitment. We would like to thank you for your
contribution for this event resp. your commitment in the last years.
LinuxTag has moved! The next event takes place in Wiesbaden, Germany, May 3 -
6, 2006. In order to prevent collisions with the 2006 FIFA World Cup which
starts in June LinuxTag 2006 takes place in May, which is six weeks earlier
than usual.
Wiesbaden, as the regional capital of Hesse, is located in the geographical
centre of Germany, and offers excellent travel connections. What is more, as a
part of the Rhine-Main region with its notable IT industry, it will attract a
"fresh" and big audience.
So, maybe you want to participate again, and place a submission for the next
LinuxTag? In this case, please read our CfP at
http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/en/home/cfp.html (English) or
http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/de/home/cfp.html (German) for more information.
The CfP will be open until January 15, 2006.
Eventually you are interested to participate in the organisation of LinuxTag
2006? We are still looking for reviewers for the open CfP. If you want to
join us, please drop me a note.
Thanks again! Hope to see you at LinuxTag 2006. On behalf of the LinuxTag
orga team I wish you a Happy New Year!
Regards,
Wolfgang Drotschmann drotschm(a)linuxtag.org
