Fedora 11 is almost awesome
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi http://rubenerd.com/fedora-11-almost-awesome/ "Aside from the standby issue, so far so good. I’ve got the OpenSolaris Nimbus theme installed for a change (look at that, my ThinkPad looks like the computers at uni!) and am finding it to be a productive environment to work in. >From my experience I reckon Fedora and Slackware with the Slackbook are the the closest any Linux distribution has come to the FreeBSD Handbook. Fedora’s online documentation is excellent, and their wiki contains a ton of useful information." Rahul

Lowering Contribution Barriers in Open Source
by Rahul Sundaram 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hi, Interesting look at different projects including Fedora on how they invite the community to participate. http://aniszczyk.org/2009/11/11/lowering-contribution-barriers-in-open-sour… Mozilla has a very interesting idea on participation based on the time the potential contributor has which IMO is very well worth emulating.

Help wanted: F12 Social Media Czar
by Mel Chua 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Now seeking social media czars for the F12 cycle. Are you a Facebook fiend, a frequent Digger, a compulsive tweeter, etc? We're looking for you. Be our team's liason to social media sites you already frequent. Timescale: Starting now, ending 4 weeks from the date of this email (December 8, 2009 - incidentally, that's at the end of FUDCon). Responsibilities: 1. Watch this mailing list for articles/materials people are finding about Fedora 12 2. Promote those materials to the network(s) that you've chosen. 3. Let the mailing list know when you do that, so we can jump in and help digg/retweet etc. your post. 4. At the end of the 4 weeks, write a quick email to this mailing list about the activity you saw on the social network(s) you were czar of, and what you think would make this more effective for the next round. My guess is that it'll take an hour a week or less (which you're already spending on Facebook, etc. anyway ;) and then 5 minutes to write up the email at the end. How to sign up: Post to this thread to claim your social networking site. If someone has already claimed the one you want to do, shoot them an email and coordinate. --Mel

Potential press release for Red Hat to distribute
by Max Spevack 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hey Kara, Something that Fedora has been working on for a while now is the relicensing of all of its documentation and wiki to a Creative Commons license. We just finished this process up (in time for Fedora 12), and one of the things that the Fedora Marketing team has done is written up a press release talking about this, and why it is important. As a collective, we're curious to know if you think this is a press release that *Red Hat* would like to release through its official channel. If so, we want to give Red Hat the first shot at it. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ianweller/Creative_Commons_press_release If not, then we'll push this news out through our various Fedora channels, but it seemed like a good idea to get your feedback first, as our primary contact for all Fedora press stuff at Red Hat. We're hoping to make a habit out of putting together more press releases like this -- places where we make a point of focusing, and writing up in a formal way, news items that are important to the Fedora community, so making sure we have good communication back to you and Red Hat PR is important to me. (Side note to the Fedora Marketing team -- Kara is one of Red Hat's PR gurus, and she is the person that Paul Frields and I work with for all Fedora and community-related press that goes through Red Hat.) Thanks! --Max

Hi, I recently made a blog post about tablet support in F12: http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/fedora-12-rocks-on-tablets/ I was quite surprised to find it had more than a few diggs on digg.com. Would you mind digging it too? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Fedora_12_rocks_on_tablets Let's spread the word about F12 rocking far and wide :) ~m
