Re: Minority: helping upstream to market their product
by Francesco Ugolini 10 Sep '07

I agree completely with your ideas, those ones will give more value to open source. I think, moreover, we have to improve our knowledge base, people don't need to know how much free is fedora (they know it) but what fedora can offer, the pros of this one and, generally, of open source applications. Personally i think that what are you doing is what open source has to do. Each open source project has its value: to show this we have to pay attention on the other projects, promoting those ones. This will give us more value.

AMD to open up graphics specs
by Rahul Sundaram 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi Free software is winning. With the existing excellent support from Intel and the upcoming AMD support, Nvidia will be left as the odd ball. http://lwn.net/Articles/248227/ "A quick report from the kernel summit: AMD's representative at the summit has announced that the company has made a decision to enable the development of open source drivers for all of its (ATI) graphics processors from the R500 going forward. There will be specifications available and a skeleton driver as well; a free 2D driver is anticipated by the end of the year. The rest will have to be written; freeing of the existing binary-only driver is not in the cards, and "that is better for everybody." Things are looking good on this front. More in the kernel summit report to come." Rahul

Fedora Includes Sun OpenJDK/GNU Classpath Fusion IcedTea
by Rahul Sundaram 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi http://osnews.com/story.php/18558/Fedora-Includes-Sun-OpenJDKGNU-Classpath-… "Just in time for Fedora 8 test 2 IcedTea has landed in Fedora RawHide. The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from the Sun OpenJDK project using Free Software build tools (gcj) and provides replacements for the non-free binary plugs with code from the GNU Classpath project. Installing this experimental GPL Java platfom is now as easy as yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea. In addition, Sun has promised to provide a Test Compatibility Kit soon so people can see how 'officially Java' this package really is." Rahul

Possible marketing idea.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone. Everyone, unfortunatly, have clear in their mind the M$ stickers like "Designed for XP" and things like that. Anyone plan to create something like that for Fedora? I don't say to produce that stickers in plastic material or things like that (is too expensive I guess) but to produce the idea so, in example during a Fedora advocacy session, we can print this stickers (on a adhesive paper in example) to give is as a gift to the people. Or, in other hand, give them the option to print them by them self. The design will be done by the art team. That is only an idea. I'm waiting for your opinions/critics :). Happy Fedoring :).

by Jovan Spasojevic 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, i want to put following email here in the list. I cannot find any related Site in English because it's in German only so it is a "Infoday" locally in Hessen (Germany) i am living here. So the Event is on Sa, 27.Okt.07 it is a Place where we can represent fedora in Hessen Germany but only locally and for this place in germany. I don't know if are any other German Ambassadors interesting in it or the Community or whatever. "Dear Mr. Spasojevic, Let me introduce myself. I am Dean Murphy, an active member of the Linux Users Group Giessen (LUGG) and an organizational member of this years Practical Linux (PL) being held at the FH in Giessen. http://www.practical-linux.de/statisch/index.html As an Ambassador for the Hessen Fedora community, the PL would be honored if the Fedora Community would represent itself at our Linux "Infotag". Naturally, as a community project, the Fedora project is exempt from any stand fees. Please email me if you need further information or wish to express the Fedora community's interest in attending our Infotag as a Exhibitor. Sincerely, Dean" Regards, Jovan S. http://www.fedoraprojrct.org/wiki/JovanSpasojevic

Jamendo Newsletter: Creative Commons music in the $100 laptop!
by Thomas Chung 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

http://www.jamendo.com/en/?mode=raw&nickFor=tchung&nlfdb=19&p=newsletter "We are also delighted to announce a partnership with the One Laptop per Child association (OLPC) to bring a selection of Creative Commons music to their $100 laptops. For us, it makes sense to help OLPC because their laptop is an excellent way to extend the music sharing values we defend to the developing countries. Now, it is possible for each member of the jamendo community to create one or more special playlists for OLPC. The playlists should have less than 20 minutes of music and contain only tracks licensed under the CC BY or BY-SA licenses. To label a playlist for the OLPC, add "OLPC" before its name." -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
