F11 Announcement
by Rafael Gomes 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi Guys, I am from Brazil and I am thinking about an improvement to our Announcement of new version. What do all you thing if we separate the new features for groups of interest? Same as the Announcement of Gnome. Take a look: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/index.html.en#rnusers IMO It is better than we have now. PS: Sorry for my bad english, I am learning yet.

Public remote desktop server.
by mhydra 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hello, I am big fan of Fedora. I tried to help Fedora several times before but my attempts were not very successful. This time, I have an idea how to contribute in a different way. I have prepared a remote desktop server with additional features available for all users interested in try Fedora and GNU/Linux. Also, I wrote a client application capable to connect to this server. Please, have a look at: http://spreadfedora.org/sf/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Ite… This is a remote desktop server running Fedora 10 and GNOME. So, it is very useful for demonstration purposes. -- Svetoslav Chukov

Distribution.
by Hlompho Mota 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Time's are cahnging and the trend in the use of computers is also changing. Though with this in mind, I believe that the project has to ride along the waves of change. The Idea behind this is that I have been an advocate of Fedora Before I even joined the project. Though now I am I hope 2 become a positive flow of energy into the project. I whould like to establish what would be a home for not only Linux, but a home for Fedora in Lesotho. With this all said and done, I hope that I could get some help in developing interest amoung computer enthusias about the project so that they contribute to smoething much bigger and meaningfull. Along with there is a ptoject I will hope Fedora will help me develop.

Testing Out The Nouveau Driver On Fedora 11
by Rahul Sundaram 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Hi http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzE3OA "With the forthcoming release of Fedora 11, Red Hat has made the bold (but wise) decision of replacing xf86-video-nv as the default open-source NVIDIA driver with the Nouveau driver instead." "Besides a clean, beautiful boot experience with Plymouth when using kernel mode-setting, VT switching is dramatically faster and runs at the same resolution as the running X Server. " "Kudos to all of the Nouveau developers and to Red Hat for taking this stand in enabling it by default. Hopefully we will see other Linux desktop distributions make the switch from xf86-video-nv to Nouveau." Rahul

Ubuntu 9.04 vs Fedora 11: A lot can change in one month!
by Rahul Sundaram 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hi http://subbisays.blogspot.com/2009/03/ubuntu-904-vs-fedora-11-lot-can-chang… "But considering the differences - Fedora 11 seems to be a full 6 months ahead of Ubuntu. Most of the features included in Fedora 11 now (gnome-media, faster boot, KMS, Plymouth, Firefox 3.1, Thunderbird 3, OpenOffice 3.1, etc) are planned only in Ubuntu 9.10. Ubuntu sure has some catching up to do. When Ubuntu 9.10 releases, I can't even begin to imagine how far ahead Fedora 12 will be!" Rahul

Re: desktop relevance
by Kam Salisbury 26 Mar '09

-----Original Message----- From: Marcus Moeller <mail(a)marcus-moeller.de> Subj: desktop relevance Date: Wed Mar 25, 2009 4:02 pm Size: 1K To: For discussions about marketing and expanding the Fedora user base<fedora-marketing-list(a)redhat.com> Good Evening, I was a bit disappointed to read the interview with Jim Whitehurst on InfoWorld where he talked about (Red Hat's) Linux desktop's relevance. On the one hand I agree with him that desktops will move more and more to hosted applications or virtual frameworks. But besides that Red Hat already offers a gread desktop product with a large userbase: Fedora. Also web based components will be more and more integrated into traditional desktop products. Please remember that there are still a lot of people out there using old versions of Windows, too. These also want to take part in the online future. So there will be backports and browser plugins. And note: Fedora does offer all of that great features, today. But as InfoWorld is a traditionally business-oriented netmag the focus was on 'making money with Linux desktops' I can somewhat understand his position. You can earn more money with services and solutions. I am just disappointed that it has not been clearly stated that the best way to keep up on that road is to use free components and to improve the (free) Linux desktop experience. Best Regards Marcus -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list Hi Marcus, I am confused. It reads like your saying Fedora "is" Redhat. I thought it was a seperate distribution much like CentOS is seperate. -- Kam http://kamsalisbury.com GPG key: FAF1751E
