Red Hat legal speaks
by Rahul Sundaram 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hi, The question on DMCA and iPod's and linking to third party repositories has been answered and we indeed can now do that if we wanted to, with some caveats. Can't use this as a alternative source for codecs in codec buddy in a direct way but getting this clarification does help. Thanks to Spot for running my questions through Red Hat Legal. http://lwn.net/Articles/257559/rss "The Fedora advisory board has just been updated on a couple of conclusions reached by the Red Hat legal department. It has been determined that support for current iPod devices can be provided by Fedora - getting around Apple's obfuscation is not seen as a DMCA violation. The rules on linking to encumbered software have also been loosened" Rahul

Max Spevack speaks about the release
by Marc Wiriadisastra 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-November/msg00003.… "On Thursday November 8th (about 3:00 PM GMT), Fedora 8 will go live to the world, and you will be able to download it at http://fedoraproject.org. The bits are all finalized, the mirrors are synced, and the torrents are primed. But until we flip the switch, you will have to tide yourself over with this -- my personal Fedora 8 release announcement. Fortunately, it's pretty long, so if you read it all, Fedora 8 might be released by the time you have finished!" Already up on Digg.... http://digg.com/linux_unix/Max_Spevack_s_Fedora_8_pre_release_announcement Cheers, Marc

Can Red Hat ever make open source advocates happy?
by Marc Wiriadisastra 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=1648 "Red Hat has joined Sun’s OpenJDK project, aligning its IcedTea project with it. (Should that now be IcedCoffee?) The reaction of open source bloggers to this news? Finally, wrote our own Stephen Shankland. What was the hold-up, asked EnterpriseLinux. What took you, asked Business Review Online." Interesting article. Cheers, Marc

by Rahul Sundaram 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/11/05/red-hat-helps-advance-open-source-ja… http://www.linuxworld.com.au/pp.php?id=1682397900&fp=2;fpid=1 "Red Hat has signed Sun's OpenJDK contributor agreement and will now align the work its done on its IcedTea project, which was its own implementation of some parts of the Java SE JDK, with OpenSDK, said Shaun Connolly, vice president of product management for JBoss. IcedTea brought together the Fedora project with key Java technologies in a Linux environment, and currently provides open-source alternatives for the few remaining proprietary sections in the OpenJDK project, he said. Fedora is a Red-Hat sponsored Linux project." Rahul

give fedorapeople.org and other parts of fedora some press
by John Poelstra 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

The ReleaseSummary page is great! The screenshots really add a lot and make the page interesting. How about bragging about the new fedorapoeple infrastructure and how this distinguishes Fedora from other projects at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/ReleaseSummary ? Also talk about other improvements to our processes and infrastructure project wide? What about expanding the Release Summary to talk about changes across the Fedora project... not just what is new with the bits? There are a lot other things project wide we could trumpet as well--the art process, docs improvements, infrastructure, release engineering, etc. It could even be a short summary from each group of what they accomplished during the F8 cycle. If we are going to get press attention on release day on this page... why give the press more things to write about and more insight into all the great things Fedora is doing in one central page? And... I realize some in particular are likely to suggest that I do it all myself because "that is how all this works, etc., etc., etc." :) I am not able to do it at this time. So if what I am suggesting is is not possible I understand. If we planned some of this in advance we could create a serious drum beat with the press and news outlets for F9--Red Hat Communication said they would help, but need lead time. This makes me think it would be a good thing to put on a schedule to remind ourselves to do in advance ;-) I am able to help with that. John

Fedora 9 Features List Unveiled
by Marc Wiriadisastra 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

http://paulsdigitalworld.wordpress.com/2007/11/06/fedora-9-features-list-un… "I’m not kidding. Yeah, fedora 8 dawning upon us but fedora 9 is being conceived. Let’s make some comments and help. This is my first class at the features list, I’ll probably go deeper into it. New GNOME Display Manager Much enhanced rewrite of GNOME Display Manager This is kind of nice. In each new release, fedora updates the GNOME desktop and makes it better. But what’s going to happen with KDE? Fedora seems to have a intimate relation with GNOME. But I hope the fedora team keeps themselvs away from the fire that one OS has one desktop and that’s it. Fedora should always offer the best variety." http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/fedora_9_feature_list_3 Enjoy Marc

[Fwd: Questions of www.silicon.de]
by Fabian Affolter 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi all, Are we interested in such a publicity thing? Is anybody willing to do something? Regards, Fabian -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Questions of www.silicon.de Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2007 15:13:11 +0100 From: Lutz Poessneck <Lutz.Poessneck(a)cnet.com> To: <fab(a)fedoraproject.org> Dear Fabian, I'm an editor with www.silicon.de, a leading German news service for IT-professionals, part of CNET Networks (www.cnet.com) We are planning to publish a photo gallery to deal with the topic 'What for and why I'm using Fedora'. The aim of the photo gallery is to inform our readers about Fedora and to give examples how to use it. Ideally the gallery may have such a structure: a photo of a certain Fedora-user with some information about himself (for instance: profession, employer), then some photos, indicating what for and why he uses Fedora (for instance: screenshots of his favourite Fedora-applications, screenshots of applications, which he dislikes at Windows .... or another creative image-idea), then the photo of the next Fedora-user, then photos of his favourite Fedora-applications ... and so on. To give you an example, a photo gallery on www.silicon.de looks like this: 160 years of Siemens http://www.silicon.de/enid/client_server_host/30233 Can you help me to get in contact with Fedora-users, who are willing to show their passion in a photo gallery? I'm interested in any information. If we can find many interested users, we may also publish a serial. Also: Another topic for a photo gallery would be 'The history of Fedora ' - do you know, where to get corresponding photos? Possible also: 'Fedora in use' (for instance in a project) - these photos should be up to date. If you come up with an idea for a photo gallery - you are welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. With kind regards Lutz Poessneck Editor CNET Networks Germany Silicon.de Willy-Brandt-Allee 2 81829 Munich, Germany Phone: 0049-89-25 555 632 Fax: 0049-89-25 555 750 lutz.poessneck(a)cnet.com www.silicon.de
