Red Hat legal speaks
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
The question on DMCA and iPod's and linking to third party repositories
has been answered and we indeed can now do that if we wanted to, with
some caveats. Can't use this as a alternative source for codecs in codec
buddy in a direct way but getting this clarification does help. Thanks
to Spot for running my questions through Red Hat Legal.

"The Fedora advisory board has just been updated on a couple of
conclusions reached by the Red Hat legal department. It has been
determined that support for current iPod devices can be provided by
Fedora - getting around Apple's obfuscation is not seen as a DMCA
violation. The rules on linking to encumbered software have also been
loosened"

give fedorapeople.org and other parts of fedora some press
by John Poelstra
The ReleaseSummary page is great! The screenshots really add a lot and
make the page interesting.
How about bragging about the new fedorapoeple infrastructure and how
this distinguishes Fedora from other projects at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/ReleaseSummary ? Also talk
about other improvements to our processes and infrastructure project wide?
What about expanding the Release Summary to talk about changes across
the Fedora project... not just what is new with the bits? There are a
lot other things project wide we could trumpet as well--the art process,
docs improvements, infrastructure, release engineering, etc. It could
even be a short summary from each group of what they accomplished during
the F8 cycle.
If we are going to get press attention on release day on this page...
why give the press more things to write about and more insight into all
the great things Fedora is doing in one central page?
And... I realize some in particular are likely to suggest that I do it
all myself because "that is how all this works, etc., etc., etc." :) I
am not able to do it at this time. So if what I am suggesting is is not
possible I understand.
If we planned some of this in advance we could create a serious drum
beat with the press and news outlets for F9--Red Hat Communication said
they would help, but need lead time. This makes me think it would be a
good thing to put on a schedule to remind ourselves to do in advance ;-)
I am able to help with that.

Nice :)
Some of the css styles look a little different, is that intentional?
What's the licensing of the image?

Hi all,
Are we interested in such a publicity thing? Is anybody willing to do
something?
Regards,
Fabian

Dear Fabian,
I'm an editor with www.silicon.de, a leading German news service for
IT-professionals, part of CNET Networks (www.cnet.com).
We are planning to publish a photo gallery to deal with the topic 'What
for and why I'm using Fedora'.
The aim of the photo gallery is to inform our readers about Fedora and
to give examples how to use it.
Ideally the gallery may have such a structure: a photo of a certain
Fedora-user with some information about himself (for instance:
profession, employer), then some photos, indicating what for and why he
uses Fedora (for instance: screenshots of his favourite
Fedora-applications, screenshots of applications, which he dislikes at
Windows .... or another creative image-idea), then the photo of the next
Fedora-user, then photos of his favourite Fedora-applications ... and so
on.
To give you an example, a photo gallery on www.silicon.de looks like
this:
160 years of Siemens
http://www.silicon.de/enid/client_server_host/30233
Can you help me to get in contact with Fedora-users, who are willing to
show their passion in a photo gallery?
I'm interested in any information. If we can find many interested users,
we may also publish a serial.
Also: Another topic for a photo gallery would be 'The history of Fedora
' - do you know, where to get corresponding photos?
Possible also: 'Fedora in use' (for instance in a project) - these
photos should be up to date.
If you come up with an idea for a photo gallery - you are welcome.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards
