Fedora 9 interviews - what's left
by Rahul Sundaram 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hi I see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/EricSandeen done by Rodrigo Menezes. It seems complete though he hasn't announced it himself. What's left? ------------ FreeIPA - really unique and we are leading this effort that probably will help solve one of the major admin pain point Presto is in limbo for now. So we can skip it Jidgo - Should cover if we are getting this as one of the alternative distribution methods for Fedora 9. Cover pyjidgo and whatever new features we are driving. Some discussions at https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/jigdo-user/2007-November/000113.html PreUpgrade - Should be really interesting to cover Anaconda - Very visible changes.Interview the entire Anaconda team. Partition resizing support, Encryption support, netinst.iso that combines boot.iso and rescue.iso, lots of other backend work Display - Adam Jackson is release guy for the next upstream release and scheduled it around Fedora 9. Should cover Fast X, RandR and probably Soeren's work covered to some extend in http://www.j5live.com/2008/01/30/j5-live-vlog-soeren-talks-about-projectors… Virtualization - Lot of major work esp xen on paravirt_ops. Look up a lot of blogs including http://berrange.com/personal/diary/2007/11/plan-for-xen-kernels-in-fedora-9 Get in touch with Daniel Berrange. He would know who else we can interview on this. Ask about Ovirt, virtual appliance creator, policy kit integration with virt manager, virtual storage, virt kernel boot etc. LTSP integration - Very high profile. Interview Warren and Eric. https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/jigdo-user/2007-November/000113.html Upstart - Probably the first time, we had a very core feature be mostly community driven. Need to cover the FUDCon decision bits too. Not too interesting technically since we no distribution is actually taking advantage of upstart features yet and will be running under sysvinit compatibility mode. GDM, Gvfs, GCC 4.3 - Fedora is driving upstream. Backend stuff though except for GDM. We will be early adopters so might be good to cover GDM first. Swfdec - Consult with desktop team and interview upstream too if we are getting this installed by default SELinux user space confinement - Not in the feature list but this is a interesting feature neverthless and deserves to be highlighted better.

how is this website related to the project?
by Juan Camilo Prada 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

well i was just searching for some tips/tutorials/guides on the internet and i found this site-> http://www.fedoramd.org/ It happens to have almost the same content of fp.o site but doest seem to be a official website, my concern is that if it is not official it doesnt specify, and due to it being so like fp.o it could have content that might damage the ideas of fedora project

name for Fedora compute grid project
by Karsten Wade 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Recently under discussion on f-a-b is the idea of creating a million-node compute grid using Condor and other tools. This might include, for example, the ability to join the grid during firstboot. Catch up on that thread here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-March/msg00022.ht… We are suffering from a cool name; we are in danger of calling it "Fedora@Home" in the meantime, and with one pick-up of that name in Fedora Weekly News, someone is going to come pressing trademark rights. Shall we declare it a codename in seek of a replacement? What this thing is: * A cool piece of technology with a grid client and Fedora-run grid master * A way to contribute to Fedora with spare CPU cycles from your machine(s); useful for everyone from Web surfing grandmas to kernel hackers with quad-cores * A chance to create something that Fedorans can use for good projects: - Distributed build-system - Social and technical causes that match with Fedora values/ideals - Cool research It's some kind of convergence, which is why it needs a cool name, right? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.

Hi http://lwn.net/Articles/271859 "There is a long way to go to get a straightforward way for a Fedora Special Interest Group (or anyone else) to get a spin approved, but such things always have a start somewhere." Rahul

Hi, http://www.fanaticattack.com/2008/creative-commons-releases-free-contentsof… "Live Content is a great compilation of open source content. If you’re new to open source and want to explore the new possibilities available to you outside of proprietary software and mainstream media, as well as the concepts underpinning the free source movement, Live Content definitely serves it up in one convenient package. The beauty of the Live DVD allows you to take your operating system with you. Just bring your thumb drive with you so you can save whatever you create." Rahul
