I have to leave the office right now to pick up the FUDcon tshirts but when I get back to a computer (probably around 5-6) I'll get you some artwork for that poster, okay?

Any preferred dimensions for the map? Whatever is easiest for you and I can design around it. I'm thinking, 4x5 might work well... ~m

Okay what dimensions would the final poster be then? 42"x??

Fedora sign
by Paul W. Frields 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

The Red Hat Summit planning group is going to have an extra sign made up for Fedora featuring some quotations from the excellent press coverage we've been getting. Kara is working on pulling some quotes for this purpose. I think mizmo reads this list, but if not I've cc'd the Artwork list. Mo, would the Artwork project be able to help us with a simple design for a sign? I've already alerted the Summit folks that we need to know: 1. file format required 2. size target for the sign 3. any other requirements from the signage producers I hope to have the quotes ready on Thursday morning. Would you guys be able to produce something by, say, Friday morning? I apologize for the short deadline. The opportunity came up quickly so I tried to seize it. :-) -- Paul W.

Miro - help needed
by Jonathan Roberts 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

OK, I was just about to submit the channel I created to Miro to get the ball rolling on this whole idea. I've put the rss file on my fedorapeople space, and pointed the feed to Paul's GVFS video to begin with. But...I'm having issues with Miro's website and it won't let me move on to the next stage of submitting the video. So, would anybody else like to have a go at it? You literally only need to go to: https://www.miroguide.com/channels/submit And follow the steps through one by one. Half of information is auto-filled too from details in the feed itself. A few quick notes: The video feed file is: http://jonrob.fedorapeople.org/fedora-tv.xml I've called the channel Fedora TV I was planning on using the vertical Fedora logo from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines Urmm...that's about it! If somebody can do the web side stuff for me, then I'll happily manually maintain the feed for a while until we find a better solution.

fedoraLife Concept (condensed version) online now
by Markus McLaughlin 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

Okay guys, I hear what you say BUT Fedora needs basic tools for photos, video, voice chats, and burning DVDs that uses already existing CLI tools in a friendlier GUI. I was only presenting ideas for sub-projects that don't need to be rushed but just worked on little by little. The condensed version is now at http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com, I have to add the Conclusion now, there was no room for it. If anyone like to see the visuals in full glory, let me know a good free photo hosting service, I can accommodate in that manner. Keep talking about ideas, that is what I do all the time on my blogs... *Markus McLaughlin Hudson, MA, USA*

FUDCon Boston transportation warning for those taking the Red Line
by Matthew Miller 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

People on the Cambridge side of the river need to be aware that the MBTA is doing repairs on the tracks on the Longfellow Bridge the weekend of FUDCon, which means they'll be running busses between Kendall and Park. In the best-case scenario it means anyone planning to come to BU by that route needs to add another 15 minutes to their planned commute. I'm planning to go to Central Square and take the 47 bus across the river instead. Or if the weather is nice, just walk from there. -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Mission: Video blogging Fedora screencasts for use in Miro
by Jef Spaleta 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Who's up to the challenge of creating an experimental rss feed for Fedora tutorial screencasts in theora that we can use in miro out of the box in Fedora 9? I've been trying to find a spare machine at work to host this sort of thing... but I've just utterly failed. I was hoping to surprise everyone with a workable demo that you could submit theora vids to for me to host as a starting point for figuring out how to really deal with open video content in a user accessible way. I think miro is a workable solution. But I've failed to deliver. So now I'm asking everyone on this list for help. Can someone put together a simple rss feed with just a couple of theora videos that miro understands as a channel? It doesn't have to be a huge hosting commitment. We don't need to start with a Broadcast Machine implementation and use Miro's inherent ability to speak torrent. We should be able to demo a feed using video houses in Fedora's people space. Once we have that, we can figure out how best to host additional screencast material as part of our Project communication strategy. I think doing torrents might make some sense, but we have to talk with infrastructure concerning hosting space requirements. And we'll have to figure out how the access control model we want to use...well I should say 'you' want to use. I'm very sure that the policy with regard to editorial control of an official Fedora video feed should be in the hands of the marketeers with input from docs and translators. Once we have that, we can move on beyond screencasts into web camera interviews and so on and so on. So who's game. I really have to apologize for not having the time to get a hosting instance together for videos as a starting point for a full discussion. -jef
