New version of Fedora looks to wireless and security
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.techworld.com/applications/news/index.cfm?newsID=102307&pagtyp...
"Enhancements to Fedora 10 that developers can test-drive in the alpha
release include the addition of timer-based scheduling for the
PulseAudio stack of the OS, which serves audio from multiple sources on
the server to multiple client destinations simultaneously, said Paul
Frields, Fedora project leader, via email.
Timer-based scheduling "is a techno-geeky way to say, 'flexible,
glitch-free audio," he said. "The redesigned PulseAudio automatically
adjusts the way it feeds audio data, to accommodate system load and
ensure the audio data is always ready when needed.""

Fedora marketing meeting today: leader?
by Greg DeKoenigsberg
Hello folks. I'm knee-deep in OLPC stuff today... I've got a lot to do in
a limited amount of time here in Cambridge, so I'm not going to have time
to attend this meeting.
So let me ask you... should we have it this week, or not? And if we have
it, who will run it?

press coverage postings to the list/wiki
by Sandro "red" Mathys
Hi marketing,
Most of you may have noticed, that most of the traffic on this list is
single posts on press coverages without any further discussion. Well,
sometimes there's a "great article!" or "they got it all wrong!" - but
that's pretty much it IMHO.
This causes quite some traffic on the list and some people who were once
subscribed to this list stopped reading it/contributing to it because of
this.
IMHO, the list is for discussion and working together (e.g. on press
releases[2], of which we don't release many yet and they're even mostly
written by the ambassadors) - but press coverages don't fit in.
Additionally, there's the Press Archive[1] in the wiki for this purpose,
which even allows a faster overlook of (past/present) articles. People can
even watch those pages if they want to be informed about new press
coverage like on the list.
If you don't like the wiki for this, maybe some Blog might be even better.
People could subscribe to the RSS feed and we could even include that on
the planet. You could do categories and tags pretty much like on the wiki.
But I'm more of an ambassador than of a marketing person, so I might get
that picture wrong. What do you think?
Regards,
red

Hello Guys!
Thinking to improve and expand the distribution of media and
dissemination of Fedora in Latin America, the Brazilian Fedora Project

This idea will decrease the cost and increase the velocity of the media
production in LATAM.

Fedora 10 Alpha Preview
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=fedora_10_alpha&num=1
"Fedora 10 is tracking GNOME 2.24 and the KDE spin will ship with KDE
4.1. For those of you that have a work requirement to use Microsoft
Exchange, Fedora 10 may make the process easier. Integrated in Fedora 10
will be a library from OpenChange that makes it possible for open-source
utilities such as the KDE PIM (Personal Information Management) and
Evolution to function as clients of a Microsoft Exchange Server.
OpenChange is an open-source implementation of the Microsoft Exchange
protocols. As a prerequisite to integrating OpenChange, Samba 4 will
also ship with Fedora 10."

Fedora on a stick
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.linux.com/feature/143261
"With Fedora on a stick drive, no matter where you go or what PC you're
using, you'll have your own Fedora desktop already set up just the way
you want it. Fedora 9 is an excellent, modern Linux; if you enjoy using
it, you'll enjoy even more being able to use it on almost any PC at hand. "

Make your own Fedora re-spin
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Yet another article on revisor. Short on details but nevertheless a good
intro.
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=articl...
"By the time a distro has been released, there are probably already
several updates available. This is not a problem on a single
internet-connected computer, but what if you have to install a dozen
machines in an office, or there is no decent internet connection? An
updated install DVD removes the need for this. Also, do you really want
to answer all those questions each time when the answers are always the
same? A custom install disc can take care of that for you."

Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase
by Valent Turkovic
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase
I like this Ubuntu team idea, so I just posted this FYI. One thing I
find missing from their announcement is the mention of what kind of
submissions are they looking for and are those submissions restricted
or not to usage of non-free tools (ie. Photoshop, Maya, 3D Studio,
Premiere, etc...). I don't know what expression "Free Culture Artist"
means because I think that there could be lost of Ubuntu users out
that that would feel that they are that even if they run Ubuntu as
their secundary system and do their primary work on completely
proprietary system (Os X or Windows).
Any thoughts?
Valent.
