Intel switches from Ubuntu to Fedora for Mobile Linux
by Rahul Sundaram 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hi http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/Intel-switches-from-Ubuntu-to-Fedora-for… "Chip manufacturer Intel wants to use parts of the Fedora Project Linux distribution instead of Ubuntu as the basis for the second version of Moblin (Mobile & Internet Linux Project)" "Intel is keen on using a Linux distribution that uses RPM packages and package management software. Hohndel pointed out that RPM packages include licence information; the DEB package management as used by Ubuntu and Debian doesn't have this information in the package files. By having licence information available, developers can create software collections by licence type or exclude software with certain types of licences" Rahul

Hi http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=2647 In an email today, Fedora’s Greg Dekoenigsberg said: “The engineers at OLPC are busy building an educational experience for the kids of the world. They are basing their excellent work on Fedora. “Their time is stretched perilously thin … we in the Fedora community can therefore have a huge, direct, and immediate impact on the success of the OLPC project.” Rahul

Hi, http://www.press.redhat.com/2008/07/23/fedora-phones-home-fedora-talk-and-o… "If you didn’t get to attend FUDCon last month, the community made several exciting announcements including the availability of Fedora Talk, the new Fedora telephony system. Based on the free VoIP project Asterisk, Fedora Talk allows Fedora contributors to use any standard VoIP hardware or software to sign into the Fedora system and make and receive calls to other Fedora contributors." "There are other possibilities to explore with Fedora Talk as well. What if, in the future, a Fedora volunteer could claim an hour of time to run a VoIP phone and answer user or contributor questions?"

Seneca College teams with FOSS projects for hands-on learning
by Rahul Sundaram 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hi, http://www.linux.com/feature/140097 Greg DeKonigsberg, Fedora's liaison with Seneca, says, "There's a lot of knowledge that's just not taught that you need [in order] to participate in an open source project. There's a difference in how open source is approached [compared to] traditional software, and it's not like you can learn it in a book. It's very much an apprenticeship model." Rahul
