New version of Fedora looks to wireless and security
by Rahul Sundaram 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hi http://www.techworld.com/applications/news/index.cfm?newsID=102307&pagtype=… "Enhancements to Fedora 10 that developers can test-drive in the alpha release include the addition of timer-based scheduling for the PulseAudio stack of the OS, which serves audio from multiple sources on the server to multiple client destinations simultaneously, said Paul Frields, Fedora project leader, via email. Timer-based scheduling "is a techno-geeky way to say, 'flexible, glitch-free audio," he said. "The redesigned PulseAudio automatically adjusts the way it feeds audio data, to accommodate system load and ensure the audio data is always ready when needed."" Rahul

press coverage postings to the list/wiki
by Sandro "red" Mathys 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi marketing, Most of you may have noticed, that most of the traffic on this list is single posts on press coverages without any further discussion. Well, sometimes there's a "great article!" or "they got it all wrong!" - but that's pretty much it IMHO. This causes quite some traffic on the list and some people who were once subscribed to this list stopped reading it/contributing to it because of this. IMHO, the list is for discussion and working together (e.g. on press releases[2], of which we don't release many yet and they're even mostly written by the ambassadors) - but press coverages don't fit in. Additionally, there's the Press Archive[1] in the wiki for this purpose, which even allows a faster overlook of (past/present) articles. People can even watch those pages if they want to be informed about new press coverage like on the list. If you don't like the wiki for this, maybe some Blog might be even better. People could subscribe to the RSS feed and we could even include that on the planet. You could do categories and tags pretty much like on the wiki. But I'm more of an ambassador than of a marketing person, so I might get that picture wrong. What do you think? Regards, red [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressArchive [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressReleases

Fedora 10 Alpha Preview
by Rahul Sundaram 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora_10_alpha&num=1 "Fedora 10 is tracking GNOME 2.24 and the KDE spin will ship with KDE 4.1. For those of you that have a work requirement to use Microsoft Exchange, Fedora 10 may make the process easier. Integrated in Fedora 10 will be a library from OpenChange that makes it possible for open-source utilities such as the KDE PIM (Personal Information Management) and Evolution to function as clients of a Microsoft Exchange Server. OpenChange is an open-source implementation of the Microsoft Exchange protocols. As a prerequisite to integrating OpenChange, Samba 4 will also ship with Fedora 10." Rahul

Hi http://www.linux.com/feature/143261 "With Fedora on a stick drive, no matter where you go or what PC you're using, you'll have your own Fedora desktop already set up just the way you want it. Fedora 9 is an excellent, modern Linux; if you enjoy using it, you'll enjoy even more being able to use it on almost any PC at hand. " Rahul

Make your own Fedora re-spin
by Rahul Sundaram 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi Yet another article on revisor. Short on details but nevertheless a good intro. http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&… "By the time a distro has been released, there are probably already several updates available. This is not a problem on a single internet-connected computer, but what if you have to install a dozen machines in an office, or there is no decent internet connection? An updated install DVD removes the need for this. Also, do you really want to answer all those questions each time when the answers are always the same? A custom install disc can take care of that for you." Rahul

Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase
by Valent Turkovic 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase I like this Ubuntu team idea, so I just posted this FYI. One thing I find missing from their announcement is the mention of what kind of submissions are they looking for and are those submissions restricted or not to usage of non-free tools (ie. Photoshop, Maya, 3D Studio, Premiere, etc...). I don't know what expression "Free Culture Artist" means because I think that there could be lost of Ubuntu users out that that would feel that they are that even if they run Ubuntu as their secundary system and do their primary work on completely proprietary system (Os X or Windows). Any thoughts? Valent. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
