Fedora Project Sign for GITEX Demo Pod
by John Babich
I need immediate feedback for the GITEX Demo Pod sign which Red Hat is
generously providing.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/GitexExampleSign for
the example provided by Red Hat.
Here is my attempt:
<Sign>
<FEDORA PROJECT LOGO> <RED HAT>

Have to agree about Fedora(TM) and not side-by-side Red Hat(R).
There is a reason why Fedora(TM) exists,
and there should be no hinting of otherwise.
People who don't know Fedora have either:
1. Heard of it
2. Assume the name relates to Red Hat (at least select languages)
3. Won't assume or know anything
You don't need to put the Red Hat(R) logo next to Fedora(TM)
to add any value or other confusion or gesture that spirals in
countless different directions or mindshares.
In fact, I think the comment "like OpenSuSE" was a solid knock.
Just my $0.02 as an outsider looking in at Red Hat for a good 12 years.
Fedora(TM) has its own, standalone, reputation, and it is good.

New extras repository for Red Hat Enteprise Linux
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
EPEL moves ahead...
http://www.linux.com/feature/118304
If you need a software app that is not included or supported in the
standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS distribution, Red
Hat's new Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository might be
an excellent place to go fishing.

Linux: Redirecting Core Dumps
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Apport is a system wide crash dump handler. Will Woods, QA lead in
Fedora has been working on adopting Apport from Ubuntu and Neil Horman
is pushing some reimplemented patches upstream that is required for this
feature in true Fedora fashion. Originally targeted for the next
release, this has now been moved to Fedora 9. A important feature that
will make it easy for users to report issues. Good to keep an eye on.
http://kerneltrap.org/node/14010
Neil pointed to Ubuntu's Apport, "Ubuntu has implemented lots of their
functionality with some patches that they never pushed upstream (and
IMHO, have some security issues). This is my attempt to do what their
doing sanely, so the other distro's (primarily fedora) can take
advantage of this technology."

I think in this case, you should not mix the fedora logo and design with the
RedHat Logo. You represent Fedora, not Red Hat. This will confuse the
visitors - and someone must approve the use of the RedHat Logo to.
This is how i interpret

Fedora 8 To Integrate OpenJDK
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=NTkzMA
"One of the most recently added features to the Fedora 8 feature list is
IcedTea, which is the open-source version of Java (OpenJDK). The plan is
to make IcedTea the default JPackage environment and will replace GCJ.
There are Fedora packages for IcedTea already maintained (at
ClassPath.org) and the dependencies needed to build IcedTea can already
be found in Fedora Rawhide. What's left to be accomplished is resolving
issues pertaining to questionable license headers, while lower on the
totem pole is integration with the open-source Java web-plugin
(gcjwebplugin) followed by PPC and PPC64 support. If IcedTea doesn't
make the cut for Fedora 8, GCJ will be left in as the default JPackage
environment. More information on the OpenJDK plans for Fedora 8 can be
found in the Fedora Project Wiki."
