Update/Ideas for F19 and beyond

[Brendan Jones]

Hi all,

looks like the official website won't be released until Fedora 19. Some 
of you have noticed the nightly composes have been failing due to a 
poorly managed libicu soname bump. As I result I have changed the link 
on the Fedora_Jam wiki page to show only successful builds.

So Jorn and others have done the hard yards for F18, with little thanks 
from the Spins team, but I am still really proud of what we've achieved. 
So, no time for dwelling on the past, lets look to the future. There is 
absolutely no doubt the Jam will be official for F19, so we have another 
cycle to separate us from the rest of the audio releases out there. Me, 
I'm going to be tracking the Anaconda, New Firstboot projects to ensure 
we get what we need -  there were a few things we had to forgo given the 
limitations of where these projects currently stand.

I've also re-stirred the pot on the designs team list for wallpaper and 
KDM icons, but that shouldn't stop any of us submitting ideas into the 
mix as well [1]. I would have thought the design team guys would jump at 
the chance to dabble with this theme - lot of space for creative 
expression, but interest seems minimal for now (but I really like the 
banner they did for us).

We also need to come up with a definitive comps group ie. yum group 
install "Audio" (or another name - ideas welcome) and have this 
available at install time in Anaconda. Using the package list from the 
spin is probably a good place to start, but we probably could trim it 
down somewhat - we don't want the footprint to be too large - that's 
what the spin is for. Again, ideas welcome.

regards,

Brendan

Where did we end up on Planet CCRMA? They're just starting to support F18.

Yeah, I'm starting to get some time again with work slowing down. I
actually created a set of icons when I was on vacation when my hard drive
took a dump. I'll start working on them again.

Looks great! I am away this weekend so don't have time to try them out 
just yet, but here's a link to what Ian has done. If you follow his 
instructions you should be able to test it out with KDM.

I will post something up on my site when I get back if you are unable
to.

thanks again.

do you guys  know if the m audio fast track 1 works with a fedora jam?  I am thinking about dual booting witn windows 8 but I wanted to see if my interface works?  I am not a coder but I could give feedback and bug reports here and there.  ty

[Brian Monroe]

I know it doesn't work out of the box. M Audio uses proprietary drivers for
their gear. They originally had another company develop linux drivers but
it was later abandoned. I'm not sure if anyone else picked it up.

This is form the alsa page but I have not tried it. Does seem to be some 
limitations

Looks great, but you may want to push the highlights a little more, so that it
doesn't look so dirty.
Something like this:
