Fedora sign
by Paul W. Frields
The Red Hat Summit planning group is going to have an extra sign made up
for Fedora featuring some quotations from the excellent press coverage
we've been getting. Kara is working on pulling some quotes for this
purpose.
I think mizmo reads this list, but if not I've cc'd the Artwork list.
Mo, would the Artwork project be able to help us with a simple design
for a sign?
I've already alerted the Summit folks that we need to know:
1. file format required
2. size target for the sign
3. any other requirements from the signage producers
I hope to have the quotes ready on Thursday morning. Would you guys be
able to produce something by, say, Friday morning?
I apologize for the short deadline. The opportunity came up quickly so
I tried to seize it. :-)

Mission: Video blogging Fedora screencasts for use in Miro
by Jef Spaleta
Who's up to the challenge of creating an experimental rss feed for
Fedora tutorial screencasts in theora that we can use in miro out of
the box in Fedora 9?
I've been trying to find a spare machine at work to host this sort of
thing... but I've just utterly failed. I was hoping to surprise
everyone with a workable demo that you could submit theora vids to for
me to host as a starting point for figuring out how to really deal
with open video content in a user accessible way. I think miro is a
workable solution. But I've failed to deliver.
So now I'm asking everyone on this list for help.
Can someone put together a simple rss feed with just a couple of
theora videos that miro understands as a channel? It doesn't have to
be a huge hosting commitment. We don't need to start with a Broadcast
Machine implementation and use Miro's inherent ability to speak
torrent. We should be able to demo a feed using video houses in
Fedora's people space.
Once we have that, we can figure out how best to host additional
screencast material as part of our Project communication strategy. I
think doing torrents might make some sense, but we have to talk with
infrastructure concerning hosting space requirements. And we'll have
to figure out how the access control model we want to use...well I
should say 'you' want to use. I'm very sure that the policy with
regard to editorial control of an official Fedora video feed should be
in the hands of the marketeers with input from docs and translators.
Once we have that, we can move on beyond screencasts into web camera
interviews and so on and so on.
So who's game. I really have to apologize for not having the time to
get a hosting instance together for videos as a starting point for a
full discussion.

I want a virtual Fedora coffee table book and you are going to help me get it.
by Jef Spaleta
So, does anyone remember a book called "Love" where this photographer
found this cheap little plastic heart with the word Love on it and
decided to get a candid picture of as many 'interesting' people
holding that little chunk of plastic as they could. The photographer
then compiled the pictures into a little coffee table book full of
these pictures and little stories concerning the meeting. A book I
repeatedly bought as a standard gift back when i was dating and V-day
rolled around. But I digress....
I would really love, absolutely love, to see us compile a book like
that..filled with pictures of our contributors holding up a certain
trinket common plastic trinket which symbolized what our project
stands for. Fill the book with pictures and short little testimonials
concerning that person and Fedora.
We'd have to decide on a trinket that people could easily get their hands on.
If we make it a physical traditional publication, we sell it and give
the profits to a charity. Or we can make it an at-cost on-demand
publication. We could even hand them out as recognition awards.

Marketing meeting
by Paul W. Frields
Hi all --
Due to the time difference and the fact that tonight is our night to
treat the Fedora Ambassadors to dinner, Max and I won't be at the
Marketing meeting. Rest assured we continue to spend every waking
moment here marketing Fedora heavily, though. ;-)
More blog posts on the way!

Fedora 9 VoIP
by Grady Laksmono
Hi everyone,
Does anybody has setup VoIP service in Fedora? I did not succeed when I used
Fedora 8. Is there tutorial for this? Some type of walk through? I've heard
that we have to request a static IP address from the ISP, but I'm not sure
the validity of that information...
Thanks,
