Interview with Fedora's Max Spevack
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
A relatively older interview but I missed it before and so here it is.
There are interesting bits and pieces in there for all.

"Fedora is a distribution that we try to release twice a year, and we
try to always focus on the things that are important to the larger
Fedora community, while at the same time allowing Fedora to be a place
where things that Red Hat engineering groups are working on can also
make their way into the distribution."

http://speakupmodified.org/ ... trademark infringement??
by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail
I found this website when browsing around the web .. IANAL, but ain't
the trademark regulation does not allow this??

Welcome to the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution Home Page.
The Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution's edition of F-7,
"Moonshine," is now available.
[..]
The Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution is a distribution of
GNU/Linux enhanced with Speakup: The world's leading Linux screen
reader. Because equal access to all system functions is a blind
computer user's right, from bootup to shutdown!

Thanks Chitlesh for the "Heads Up!"
by Markus McLaughlin
Chitlesh, thank you for your constructive criticism, but, please post them
on my blog, that would be more helpful. I revised that entry and posted
features that neither Fedora nor Ubuntu offer. I hope I was right, if not,
post your comments on my blog, thanks! In the meantime, I am looking
forward to test out F 8 Test 3 on my Mac, and I am learning about openSUSE
10.3, I hope I can find someone willing to review it. Although Fedora is my
main OS, other distributions need to be reviewed so those new to Linux can
choose wisely! Happy Columbus Day!

Fedora-fr association was born !
by Thomas Canniot
Dear Fedora user,
All the French Fedora Team is glad to announce you the creation of the
association of the French speaking Fedora users.
We will need your help to drive this project where all the users of
Fedora are working for the same goal, the promotion of Fedora.
Why an association ?
* In order to promote Free software in general and the Fedora
distribution in particular. This promotion will lead to the creation of
support for the Fedora promotion, from simple flyers to CD/DVD for the
installation of Fedora.
* To support our website, one of the most important tool for the French
community.
* An association helps to increase the presence of the French community
and gives more weight to his talk, indeed an association has more
credibility in front of its partners, ie Fedora project, Red Hat or
others.
You should notice that the association has no link with the Fedora
project itself or Red Hat. The project has been informed of the
creation of the association but did not encourage it or support it in
any way.
What are the goals of the association ?
* Promote free software around a central element: the GNU/Linux
distribution Fedora.
* Promote Fedora on different associations and events or meetings.
* Create a network integrating users and developers of the Fedora
GNU/Linux distribution.
What are our resources ?
* The French ambassador team, localized all around France, involved in
different Linux User Group and other association.
* The dues from our members.
* The sell of goodies (T-shirts, mugs, hat...) should financially help
to the association.
Who is at the head of the association ?
The member of the board are:
President: Thomas Canniot (MrTom)
Vice-president: Armel Kermorvant (armelk)
Treasurer: Johan Cwiklinski (trashy)
Secretary: Guillaume Kulakowski (llaumgui)
Other members of the board:
Maxime Carron (Pingoomax)
Thierry Delmonte (Titax)
Charles Vinchon (littlecharly)
All are Fedora ambassador.
Why becoming a member ?
* Because you wish to be imply in the association's activities.
* Because you wish to financially support the association to promote
the distribution GNU/Linux Fedora and Free Software, without being
actively involved in these actions.
* Because you can become a member from 10 euros.
Who can become a member ?
The association accepts all French speaking people who wish to help the
promotion of the Free software and the GNU/Linux distribution Fedora.
How to become a member ?
We invite you to have a look at the procedure described on the
association's website http://asso.fedora-fr.org/Comment_devenir_membre
How to do a simple donation ?
If you wish to do a simple donation, you can have a look at the website
http://ass.fedora-fr.org/Dons
How to be involved in the Association actions ?
One of the first goal of the association is to create support for the
Fedora promotion during different the events and meetings. If you wish
to be involved, actually there are several projects for which we are
looking for help:
* Small books presenting Fedora
* Flyers
* Posters
* Stickers
* Pens
* Keyrings
* ...
We are also looking for partners to create Fedora CDs/DVDs.
Where to find information about the association ?
One website for all information, http://asso.fedora-fr.org
All the team of Fedora-fr association is available to answer your
questions and help you to lead your projects.

FUDcon and XO Laptop Event!
by Markus McLaughlin
The next major FUDcon should also be a media event because the XO Laptop
needs funding and since it is based on Fedora, it is time to ask Fmr. Pres.
Clinton and the XO Laptop Foundation's Chairman to come together to talk
about the XO Project and then afterwards Fedora 9 and 10 will be discussed!
With the media there, a lot more people will learn about both the XO Laptop
and Fedora! What does everyone think of that?

Fedora 7: A Solid Core Distribution
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
A tad late but a comprehensive solid review
http://www.brighthub.com/Reviews/tabid/53/articleType/ArticleView/article...
"Overall, Fedora is a good distribution to consider both for an
easy-to-use desktop and for a basic home or small-office server. The
user interface and security features are first-class, and the rest of
the environment is straightforward, particularly if you are used to Red
Hat. When deciding between Linux distributions to try out, Fedora should
certainly be on the list."

Re: Fedora-marketing-list Digest, Vol 40, Issue 2
by Markus McLaughlin
I think at any future Linux event, selling of official Fedora
t-shirts, buttons, and hats, will provide some funding for Fedora to
keep it going for years to come. I love the idea of a blue or black
baseball cap with the official Fedora logo, held up by velcro, like
the Boston Red Sox caps, for $10 a cap! Themes I want to suggest for
F 8 : Free Innovation, F 9, Eternal Voice, and F 10, Vast Resource.
For a future logo, a blue opaque looking marble with the F thingie in
the middle.
