Getting rid of flags
by Rahul Sundaram 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi We have had the discussion in various places before so I won't repeat them again. Flags are politically loaded. Just avoid using them in the software, documentation etc within the Fedora Project. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Languages for the glorious details. If you see any flags being used, consider them a bug and fix them or file a bug report as required. Thanks. -- Rahul Fedora Bug Triaging - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Free software events for December 2005
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi Free software magazine has a year end report which mentions Fedora Directory Server. http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/newsletters/event_report_de… "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_fedo…>. 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." -- Rahul Fedora Bug Triaging - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Fedora rescue CD
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi Distrowatch has some information on one of the new less known improvements to the Fedora Rescue CD effort. " One of the new features of Fedora <http://distrowatch.com/fedora> Core 5, expected to enter a second testing phase next week, is a new rescue CD. Although not much information has been published about the features and goals of this Fedora sub-project, it is likely to become an important tool for all Red Hat and Fedora system administrators and therefore we thought it deserved some publicity. The first test release of the Fedora rescue CD was announced <https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-January/msg00095.html> last week and several new builds have been released since then. The latest release, dated 8 January, appears to be built for x86_64 processors, but the developers are planning to produce a rescue CD for all three supported architectures. You can find the 70 MB ISO image in the /fedora/linux/development/isos/ directory on your favourite Fedora mirror <http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html>." http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060109 -- Rahul Fedora Bug Triaging - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

FC4 DVD and FC5 release
by Chitlesh GOORAH 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

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. -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

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.
