regarding: Anyone else interested in graphics?
by Michael S. Fivis
Are there other people on this list deeply interested in doing 2D
graphical work for fedora? (wallpapers, handling, icons, etc)?
michaelfivis(a)verizon.net Should start a forum or our own list of some sort.

two new mailing lists
by Brent Fox
I've created two new mailing lists:
fedora-desktop-list - for desktop, UI, artwork, and usability related
discussions

tools
We're going to keep these new lists focused and on topic, so please
keep that in mind before you post. :)

Tracking bugs....
here's is my example of what a public tracking bug looks like.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109188
I think a11y and i18n trackers are "good things"{tm} but i don't want to
own those trackers. But if those trackers do get created i want to make
a place for them in the Fedora Triage wiki listings. I just need to make
a space for a collection of tracker bugs.
And I want to encourage someone invested in a11y and i18n to be the
owner of the associated trackers. It would be very good for someone who
is in a position to make each of those issues a high personal priority
to be the owner of each of those trackers. I'm not that person..i only
attempt to speak english and i like eye-candy too much to be invested in
a11y.

location of up2date cvs
by David T Farning
I was looking for the location of the cvs tree for up2 date. I tried
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
cvs -z3 login
cvs -z3 co up2 date
and just got a bunch of *.po stuff.
Has the fedora development stuff moved?
Thanks

You development people always look at things in such a myopic way, like
its the content that actually matters as compared to the perception. Yer
totally missing the obvious PR opportunities here.
What better way to say i love you...than with a valentines fedora beta.
Kiss me I'm Irish AND i run Fedora beta2.
And the big PR winner. A release just before the USA tax-day...would
mean you could get LUGs to burn cds and hand them out to the people
standing in line at the big post-offices trying to get their taxes in
under the wire. Can't you see the obvious PR spin involving the concept
of unfair taxation and fedora linux as a generously offered solution to
that emotional and economic heartache.
Successful volunteer movements typically have an eye out for useful PR
opportunities. Maybe its not a driving force...but its a mitigating
one....and something to think about.

Announcing Fedora Core 1
by Bill Nottingham
RALEIGH, N.C., Nov 6, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:
RHAT), the world's premier open source software provider, today
announced the availability of Fedora(TM)Core 1, the first software
release of the Fedora Project.
The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored and community-supported open
source project that promotes rapid development of innovative open
source software through a collaborative, community effort. Fedora Core
1 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from open
source software. Available at no cost, the release serves the needs of
community developers, testers, and other technology enthusiasts who
wish to participate in and accelerate the technology development
process.
As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora Project
provides early visibility to the latest open source technology and
serves as a proving ground for technology that may eventually make its
way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions such as Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development resources,
editorial direction and management to the Fedora Project.
Following this release, Red Hat and the community's efforts will turn
to the development of Fedora Core 2, which will focus on the next wave
of leading edge technology including the integration of the Linux 2.6
kernel. Developers and testers alike are welcome to visit
fedora.redhat.com and get directly involved with building the future
of Linux.

Firewire regression on shipped FC 1 kernel
by Michel Alexandre Salim
Hi,
As reported in bug # 108916:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108916
I use a Firewire external HDD enclosure that works fine with
-1.2105.nptl but not with -1.2115.nptl (which unfortunately ships with
the final product).
Suspecting the removal of the orlov patch or ACPI changes to be the
culprit, as these are the only items in the Changelog between the two
releases.
FWIW, I tested the kernel under a FC 0.94 install upgraded to 0.95.
Regards,
Michel

Question about development languages
by Anthony Saffer
Hello Everyone,
I was browsing the Fedora website and noticed that the configuration tools
are said to be all Python based with a few PyGTK ones. I don't know Python
at all but am very familiar with Perl and PerlTk. Do the tools HAVE to be
written in Python or are other languages acceptable?
Thanks,
Anthony
