fedora-ve logo?
by "Guillermo Gómez S." 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, we have a contributor who posted a modified logo with fedora-ve text in it. Is it valid to do such modifications? I dont want to punish him but certainly he has a point on localizing the logo somehow. What's the policy in this case? To encourgae him to make it "the right" or not to modify it at all ?

[Fedora-marketing-list] RH making fun of us ?
by Thomas Canniot 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Did I miss something, or RH CTO has problem with Fedora first Myth ? http://ipcommunications.tmcnet.com/news/2006/08/25/195490.htm?p=ica "We're convinced that there is a better way to develop software, so what we did is we blew up the notion of an Alpha and we use Fedora as an alpha." What about Spevack 8th question in his interview on /.? Where do we stand ? What to say to people now ? One thing : thanks a lot. -- Thomas Canniot http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasCanniot

I can write it once again, but I do not know who someone removed the content I wrote there before. I am answering today, because I have formatted my /home partiton "by accident"... (just wanted to resize, heh... I thought I will never do something like that and was surprised how other people can do so, now I know...). Now I have to restore my data. I am waiting for a new disk now, so I will have a space where I will be able to put my restored files. Regards, Pawel

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fwd: Linux User award entry
by Jesse Keating 31 Aug '06

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Linux User award entry Date: Tuesday 29 August 2006 09:02 From: "Nick Dillon" <Nick.Dillon(a)axicom.com> To: "Jeremy Katz" <katzj(a)redhat.com>, "Jesse Keating" <jkeating(a)redhat.com> Hi guys, I am in the process of completing an entry for the UK Linux and Open Source awards and I am wondering if you could lend me a hand. I am entering Fedora Core 5 in the "Best Linux / Open Source distribution" category and I would really appreciate it if you could write a quick 250 words about Fedora and why it is the best distribution. I am sure you discuss this most days, so hopefully it should not take you too long! Thanks, Nick PS - Did everything go well with Nick Veitch from Linux Format? ________________________________________________ Nick Dillon AxiCom UK Direct: +44 (0)20 8392 4060 Mob: +44 (0)7725 761 450 Email: nick.dillon(a)axicom.com Web: www.axicom.com ____________________________________________________ P Before printing, think about the environment ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.

[Fedora-marketing-list] III Festival de Software Livre da Bahia - Brazilian Event
by Othon Batista 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, In August, 24th, 25th and 26th happened the III Festival de Software Livre da Bahia (3rd Bahia Free Software Festival). It's an event with participants from all over Brazil. Hugo Cisneiros presented a lecture about Fedora. We (Othon Batista, Hugo Cisneiros and Cristiano Furtado, Brazilian Fedora Project) distributed 100 DVD with Fedora Core 5, 200 flyers with Fedora Project information and 200 pens. We also took part in the "Install Fest", helping installing Fedora Core 5 in the user's computers. Beyond that, we had a Fedora stand with laptops running Fedora Core 5. Regards, -- Othon Batista (othonbatista(a)gmail.com) Computer Science MSc Fedora Ambassador in Salvador/BA - Brazil

Hi, Live CD's are something we have always wanted but never managed to get enough resources to get things done. Good to see that happening in a more concrete form http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3629161 Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora Screencasting
by Pawel Sadowski 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, Last time there was loudly about the screencasts showing how to do paricular tasks on Fedora Core. I have prepared the first movie and uploaded it to the Wiki. I would be grateful if you provided feedback on it. I mean mainly the language - whether it is enough understadable. There is one interrupt in the sentence "We see the window informing us...", because of technical reasons. I will correct it quickly and upload corrected version. Now I just would like to hear feedback on the one that is on the Wiki. You can find it at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ToursFedora5 (update.ogg). Regards, Pawel Sadowski
