Sure, Teseu, that was in my plans. Even presenting Fedora in some already known event such as FISL, as you said. Let's do that. We could exchange MSN or GTalk. Mine is rafaelliu(a)gmail.comfor either. Rafael Liu

Self-Introduction: Rafael Liu Santos
by rafaelliu 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hey all, my name is Rafael Liu Santos and I'm from Brasília, the Brazil capital. I'm a college student in Universidade de Brasília, third year (2 more to graduate!). I've started using linux with Gentoo, since then I've tried Debian and Slackware before sticking with Fedora. I feel it's a great project and I'd like to contribute, at first evangelizing which doesn't need much expertise, but maybe later with something like some RPM package support. I'm a Java enthusiastic too, and I've been longing to engage in some open source initiative, which I really believe is a great idea. Honestly my professional back ground is in Java, linux is something I love to do any spare time I have. Said that I don't have any certifications or this sorta things.. (I'm planning doing LPI next month, tho). Still I think I have some contribution to make, as my college have lots of students and our labs have linux and geeks there use linux at home and there are teachers supporting it. I think it's a great environment to spread Fedora. Recently I saw some Ubuntu DVDs being distributed and Sun ambassadors have being talking about Open Solaris. Then I thought about all of that I've written you and asked my self why not to engage Fedora and spice things up there.

Hi, A master thesis on Novell and OpenSUSE. Apparently only Novell employees have commit access still. Many interesting discussions in there. 153 pages of information. So quite a lot to digest but take a look anyway. http://janfredrik.wordpress.com/master-thesis/ Rahul

EPEL's steering comittee and much of the work that came to make it a The big issue with the confusion is that Fedora's bugzilla is Red Hat's bugzilla. So if I want to push an EPEL bug I report to "redhat". If I want to report a fedora bug.. I report to "redhat". This is one area where Red Hat's brand squashes Fedora's brand in people's minds. Squashes it dead. People will equate EPEL == Red Hat for many reasons.. but that is the one that stands out in my mind the most.

Exclusive Fedora Interview,- With project leader, Paul W. Frields
by Rahul Sundaram 24 May '08

24 May '08

Hi, http://news.softpedia.com/news/Exclusive-Fedora-Interview-86401.shtml "Softpedia: How does Fedora intend to overtake Ubuntu? Paul W. Frields: Interestingly, this question assumes that Fedora's goals, and the way we achieve them, are exactly the same as Ubuntu's. Like Ubuntu, we have millions of users. We're able to report that, based on the entirely open source technologies we use for our project. The key to Fedora's strategy is realizing that doubling our number of users doesn't help advance free and open source software as much as doubling the number of active contributors. The work those contributors do creates a far better experience with Linux, and that work reaches audiences through many channels besides just the Fedora Project. Some technology examples include NetworkManager, PackageKit, IcedTea and OpenJDK 6, and ext4. You can see these technologies in distributions other than Fedora, which shows the impact this "culture of contribution" idea is having across FOSS." Rahul
