(note: as of 7/17/08 the current production run is sold out; the next batch will be available 7/25/08)

As FUDCon F10 approaches, I find myself divided between wanting to go as a developer and presenting a barcamp item for the projects I have going and then just going as a Fedora user. I don't think I would ever be able to go to a FUDCon/Redhat Summit as just a user anymore and thus I've been working on sorting out what it is I would like to submit as a barcamp item. As I did last FUDCon, I'm leaning more towards going the route of presenting along side Jeroen again and then just being available to discuss any of my projects ad-hoc rather then a formal barcamp item. However, I think I need more feedback from the community regarding pyJigdo and where I should focus my limited number of Fedora development hours. If anyone is interested in pyJigdo and making it work right, please let me know. I don't want to waste a barcamp session, my time or anyone elses. A pyJigdo session will likely be very technical and might be better suited for a hackfest session over a presentation slot. Anywho, let us (Fedora Unity) know. I'll need a little time to do up some slides and other "best practices" for presenting otherwise I end up just putting code up on the projector and giving an overview of what it does and why and then asking for feedback on the concepts.

FUDCon F10 is going to be one of the best FUDcons so far. It looks like we are going to have a large precense of Fedora community members. I'm also looking forward to making myself available to Redhat Summit attendees that show up for the FOSS track. If you are still undecided about going, go. FUDCon is an amazing way to meet the people you interact with every day on mailing lists, irc and otherwise (such as SCM commits.) It's also where The Next Great Thing(tm) is discussed, designed and developed. Maybe someone with more time then myself will be able to count LOC changed during the duration of FUDCon and the Redhat Summit. It would be an interesting metric.

What is a 'meme'?

After a long time of being offline...

We here at Fedora Unity have finally found the time to revive the long lost Fedora Sites Search portal. We need feedback and feature requests to make the system worth-while and functional. The basic concept is back online and will be improving more and more over time.

I want to try it!

Why change what works?

Well, that were my exact thoughts too. I've used xmms for all my streaming needs since I found out about it when I started using Linux. It works, why change? I will tell you, the audacious interface blows the xmms interface away and welcomes the xmms (bmp) code base to the 21st century.

What about non-free support?

There are many plugins and Livna has you covered.

Fedora Unity has been waiting for Quills to make it to a somewhat stable point and that point is now. I've been waiting for Quills to work on Plone 3 since the release of Plone 3. All in all, Quills is impressing me and was worth the wait. We look forward to enabling the Fedora Community to easily share their experiences. Look for more features soon!

On another note...
