April 2011 - [MOVED TO DISCOURSE] Fedora Marketing - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/marketing

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4963207030.html "GNOME 3.0 is a fairly radical departure from previous GNOME versions, offering a stripped-down GNOME Shell interface that enables Linux users to "focus on tasks while minimizing distractions such as notifications, extra workspaces, and background windows," says the GNOME project. " "Linux distros that have already placed GNOME 3.0 front and center include Fedora Linux 15, now available in an alpha version, while many more will follow suit in the months to come." Rahul

[In the news] Interview: Charles H. Schulz on LibreOffice and The Document Foundation

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi Fedora 15 replaces Openoffice.org with Libreoffice from the Document Foundation http://www.tech-faq.com/interview-charles-h-schulz-on-libreoffice-and-the... "The tipping point is an interesting question: you’re the first one to ask it! Given that the Document Foundation is made of many people with a diverse background and history with OpenOffice.org, I would say that there were in fact several different tipping points depending of the persons. For me, the tipping point was reached when I stopped feeling that I had any sort of value in the eyes of the new steward. I felt I was somewhere an expense on a sheet, and given that I was contributing to that project for free, it made me think really fast about all this. I think there was hope for some time that Oracle would be a good steward." Rahul

Hi http://www.pcworld.com/article/224573/new_gnome_cuts_the_clutter.html "Five years in the making, the newly released version 3 of the GNOME Linux desktop interface has been radically redesigned. The development team endeavored to develop a simpler interface for the shell, noted Jon McCann, one of GNOME Shell's designers, in a Thursday announcement."

[In the news] Yahoo: The Linux Company

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi Not directly related to Fedora but interesting news ... http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/yahoo-the-linux-company/8618 "Today, at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, Sven Dummer, Director of Linux engineering at Yahoo!, explained that 75% of Yahoo’s Web sites and services run on Linux. The rest? It runs on FreeBSD" "So what does Yahoo use? Well, Dummer explained, “Yahoo has its own Linux distribution, YLinux, targeted for out specific needs. It’s based on Red Hat’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Yes, that’s right Yahoo is another Red Hat customer helping Red Hat become a billion dollar company. "Yahoo does, however, support its own supporting software package system. That’s a relic, Dummer said, of its FreeBSD ancestry. This system is used to package up new software and patches for both RHEL and FreeBSD. At the same time, Yahoo does use the RPM Package Manager (RPM, yes it’s a recursive acronym) for a lot of its internal software deployment." Rahul

Focusing on what's important, not sensational

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://www.itworld.com/open-source/153259/focusing-whats-important-not-se... ".What /really/ cranks my brain is the clumsy and obvious attempts by some of us in the media to somehow use GNOME 3 as a way to re-kindle the desktop wars. It's GNOME vs. KDE all over again, they shout in text, when really, it's no such thing. Anyone who tell you otherwise is just trying to drum up headlines for their publication. KDE and GNOME are different, thank you very much, but they are not out to kill each other off." Rahul

Quick look at Fedora-inspired Fusion Linux 14 - Mini Review

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi Review of the Fedora Remix, Fusion Linux http://all-things-linux.blogspot.com/2011/04/quick-look-at-fedora-inspire... "Round-up: Fusion Linux is slightly buggy, but a good choice for home users who want everything out of the box and do not want the hassle of adding extra repositories to get codecs and then install them. If Windows gaming on Linux is your thing, this distribution could work for you. If you're not fussy about disk space and the mix of libraries thrown your way in Fusion, or you are already using Mint and are looking to move or just try out a Fedora base, this could also be interesting. And for advanced users, don't forget, you can customize the kickstart file from the start as it is available on their website. And it's an installable live medium and runs well from DVD too." Rahul

Why is there no Fedora Project Store?

by Michael Dinon

Hi All, First off appologies in advance if question has been covered before and this isn't the right list, has there ever been any thought to have a Fedora store where proceeds from T-Shirt, laptop bag, stickers, and coffee mugs could benefit the Fedora project? Basically something like the store for the GNOME project. I am sure there must be a good reason why this doesn't already exist for the Fedora project, but I haven't found it as of yet. Oh and yes I know of the Red Hat mini Fedora store. -- Mike
