sha1sums on get-fedora
by Ben Williams 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

can we get the sha1sums for the f10 release on like the get-fedora page. This would help alot of new people downloading Fedora to be able to find the sha1sums quickly. Yes for the older users, we know that we can get the sha1sums from the mirrors and torrents but also with the sha1sums on the website those keys can be checked in case someone is doing something they shouldnt like repackageing the iso with rootkits installed.

New video promo for fp.o!
by Paul W. Frields 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

The Red Hat creative teams have put together a new video promo for Fedora 10 release that is now up: http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/12/02/video-fedora-10/ They've also provided a widget that we can put into rotation on the fedoraproject.org home page as we've done for previous releases. We can use the URL above, and the widget is here: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/images/Fedora10_200x100%20widget_1208_ay.p… I think I recall we can "weight" these widgets to turn up more or less often, right? It would be great to see this widget running about 2/3 of the time, since the landing site has a link to get.fedoraproject.org for downloading. -- Paul W.

Regarding Future OS
by Raz 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Well, first off, I know this is going to the wrong people, this is more a suggestion for the Development Team rather than the webmaster, but I really didn't want to put this message on a public forum because...well.... I'm a little susceptible to public criticism on this. I'll try to make this as brief as I can - The reason I'm writing is because I wanted to have the opportunity to bring up a handful of suggestions... I've spent a lot of time using several different operating systems as I was growing up - Starting using Windows when I was about 7 or 8, jumped into Linux/Mac in my late-teens, and as such I've gotten a lot of exposure to a lot of different methods of system management... And being the analytical bastard that I am, I spent a lot of time figuring out what was wrong with each system and figuring out methods of solve those issues. I see a lot of flaws in Apple and Microsoft's general design... Not so much Apple's as Microsoft, but the point being that they both try to blur the line between the hardware and the software. (As any good OS should do.) Apple does this much better than Windows because Windows is...well...junk. But nonetheless, BOTH of these companies fail at another FAR more important level - Customer satisfaction. Apple fails because they work too hard to get everything THEIR way - They rely on a lot of proprietary hardware, they tend to try and keep developers locked out of their little secrets, and they tend to charge an insane amount for systems, hardware, accessories, whatever... To their credit, I happen to think this hardware is at least SOMEWHAT worth their price (Apple DOES offer some impressive hardware, and their OS is quite nice), but should you REALLY need $1000 minimum just to get into this setup? And it's not like you can just install OSX on any PC. (Not easily, anyway.) Thus it's difficult to convince people to migrate - They get kind of "locked in" with Apple just as much as Microsoft tries to lock people in as well. Microsoft is a whole other story, though - Microsoft not only tries to lock people in, they also try to charge people for the most redundant crap ever. (CAL licenses? Seriously, WTF... As if it costs more for their software to allow more than 2 connections... Ridiculous.) Add to that the fact that what they DO market is absolute over-priced crap, and you have yourself another lovely corporation built on greed. Granted, I don't have to give you guys a history lesson here, just trying to give some background as to why I'm writing you. I have a TON of ideas for a new type of Operating System, and I would love to pass some of these along to you guys. I am a HUGE fan of Fedora, I absolutely love your Operating System. But I do think it could use a lot of improvement. And what better place to bring these ideas than to an Open-Source OS - The operating system I envision would also be completely free... So why not try to work with you guys on achieving this? Anyway... My ideas are pretty irrelevant at this stage in the game, though... I'm not writing to you right now to say what you should do with the OS. I'd love the opportunity to share these ideas with you in the future, but right now I think there's something else that should be done, and would be much better facilitated by YOU guys than myself. (Because, let's face it - In the, uh, scheme of things, I really am just a nobody from Seattle, and getting anything started in this current economy is SUCH a pain in the ass...) I propose the foundation of a new Software/Hardware alliance, and I think YOU guys should start it. Much in the same sense that Google founded the Open Handset Alliance to try and bring together people towards a common goal of an open platform for handsets and ultra- portables, I think a similar thing needs to be done for computers in general. And I think this alliance should focus on a number of factors - The way these companies treat customers, for example. Then you guys should start focusing on building an Operating System that isn't only superior to Windows and OSX, but also easier to use and manage. I know exactly how you get people to migrate from OS X or Windows - It's all about the ease of transition. People are turned off by the unfamiliar, so you have to find a way to circumvent that. But you also have to focus on the development level - You have to make it easy for people to integrate with your OS. "Programs" and "Applications" are kind of a thing of the past - Nobody wants to open AIM to use AOL , Jabber, AND MSN, they'd rather have ONE program that does all three. Seamless integration is the new forefront of application development, so you also need to focus on how you can facilitate other software plugging in with yours, which I have a lot of awesome theories on. Ultimately my ideas are pretty ambitious, I know... I even think a new Desktop Environment should be developed. (One which Gnome and KDE could both kind of become "Modules" to. but you could also create modules that SOMEWHAT emulate a Windows or OS X environment.) I think Linux suffers from a number of inherent flaws that make it difficult to convince people to use it. The filesystem organization is confusing (which Apple did a REALLY good job of re-organizing, a similar approach would be easy.) Software is kind of difficult to find, but if there were a real alliance towards this sort of open-source platform, that would change... Hell, if you could get Blizzard to join, you could even start getting the Gamer community to migrate... Can you imagine if they started developing these games to run on Linux instead of Windows? Gamers would be THRILLED by the idea of getting more FPS out of their system since they don't have to run the system-intensive Windows OS behind their games anymore. ...Ahem..... Well, I wasn't trying to turn this into an essay... Let's just say, I can design an OS superior to OS X or Windows, but none of it will mean anything if I can't get some bigger players involved... I'd love the chance to chat with someone over there about some of these ideas in more detail, should you actually be interested. Either way, though, I hope I get the chance to work with you guys in the future, I think you've got the best OS out there, so I'd love to see it go places, and I truly believe I can help. Thanks for your time. -Ryan Asbert
