Improved audio from Paul Frields 2008 fudcon talk ogg
by Valent Turkovic 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi, I listened to Paul Frields 2008 fudcon talk fron an ogg I downloaded [1] from "Fedora TV" Miro channel [2]. The audio is really hard to listen because it is recorded far from the speaker (my conclusion) so I can hear Paul barely. To hear him well I need to turn on the volume really high but then my eardrums almost exploded when I heard first applause because that is much, much, much lauder! To fix that is trivial and here is how I did it. 1. I opened the ogg in audacity 2. selected the whole track 3. under Effect I choose "Leveller" and applied to on the "Hardest" setting. 4. listened to the output 5. again applied "Leveller" with hardest setting 6. exported the audio. Please listen and compare my version [3] with one on Miro site. if you can connect me with people uploading audio I can give them tips like this on how to enhance audio for better quality. Cheers, Valent.

how to make others understand Fedora Project?
by Valent Turkovic 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

I saw that there is a lot of missunderstanding of fedora and it's goals. It saw that this has been talked about a lot in Fedora Board meetings. But how to go practically and explain to other fedora and non-fedora users this. As an example look at this thread I started: http://linuxoutlaws.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=593&start=30&st=0&sk=t&s… I would ask other fedora users to please give a hand in explaining some of misconceptions. Also please be very critical of me and if you have any suggestions of what I should have or shouldn't have said please tell me, also please suggest to me and others how to carry in such conversations. Cheers, Valent. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

by Tushar Neupaney 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Dear ambassadors, I am conducting a three day workshop in BPKIHS, Dharan, this is a medical university and I hope that at least a 1000 people will attend. To make this opportunity an event of a lifetime and utilize it to motive many to use Linux is my prime goal. Can anyone contribute to the materials that are needed to be discussed in the workshop. The things that should not be missed and anything special that can be done economically and easily to motive people. The tentative date of starting is August 20. (Date still flexible) We can support: 1. Hall for workshop. 2. Some computers (Not all can get one! limitation due to the crowd) 3. We also have a small set of volunteers (Count: 30) 4. Other supports are still to come.... Hoping to get some support, Best Regards, Tushar.

Red Hat Replaces RHGB With Plymouth
by Rahul Sundaram 11 Jul '08

Hi, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjU3OA Digg it: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Red_Hat_Replaces_RHGB_With_Plymouth "Providing a graphical boot process going back to the old Red Hat Linux days has been rhgb, or Red Hat Graphical Boot. The Red Hat Graphical Boot process uses an X server to display information about services starting, etc. However, this Red Hat project is in the process of being discontinued. The successor to RHGB is called Plymouth, which is being engineered by Red Hat's Ray Strode." Rahul

Using multimedia as a resource to promote Fedora
by Roní Gonçalves 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, Marketing group! This message is to expose one idea I had. This idea is about video using and is inspired by these two iniciatives: 1. http://fedoratv.com/ 1.1 http://jonrob.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/fedora-tv/ 2. http://mihmo.livejournal.com/57168.html So, these video productions have inspired me to think about a new way of presenting and promoting the next versions of Fedora. I'm suggesting this because I think that the merchandising made for Fedora could be improved by using more multimedia formats, it means, when new versions of the system are up to be released the only marketing in the official site is a counterdown ("There're n! days to Fedora x be released") and posts of users/ambassadors on their blogs/sites/etc about the releasing. Then, I think that, as the artwork team is already working on the possible themes for the new release, a new kind of presentation using videos to promote what's up to come. Videos movie-trailer-like with an attractive, but still mysterious to make who watches them get interested in Fedora new version. And a "Release Video" could be done with co-operation of the marketing and artwork teams and be disponible in the Fedora Project Mainpage.

rebranding EPEL
by Karsten Wade 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Bringing this discussion to Fedora Marketing as the best place for another fun (re)branding exercise. fedora-epel-devel-list has been invited here for the discussion. Many of us think, with the agreement of the EPEL Steering Committee, that the name 'EPEL' is, uh, insufficient. Well, it sucks a little bit, but it was also a reasonable resolution that let us get ahead with the actual work. This topic is about what we should rename/rebrand EPEL. If you really like the EPEL name, you'll have to rally a team of supporters to convince the rest of us that it is worth keeping. :) Tomorrow, Wednesday 9 July, at 1400 EDT/1800 UTC we are going to kick off the renaming with a conference call. Hopefully some branding folks from Red Hat can join. From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Meetings#Teleconference_number : * Get the VoIP/dial-in number details here: http://talk.fedoraproject.org/ * Fedora Marketing now has a conference room setup to use at-will, it is extension 2004. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
