Docs FAD at the Southeast Linuxfest
by David Nalley
Just a quick note on the Docs FAD on June 14th that will follow the
Southeast Linuxfest in Clemson SC.
We have 8 attendees listed thus far:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_SELF
And I am sure that we will have even more show up, and hopefully a few
recruited the day before.
We have a significant contingent of contributors that are unable to
attend. We will use Docs Project's conference bridge (2008) on Fedora
Talk to let those join the conversation. This is particularly
important during the Docs Decisions for F12.
Currently my proposed itinerary is: (times below are eastern)
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM - Docs Decisions for F12
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_decisions_for_F12
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM A non-translator's introduction to the POT/PO model
11:30 AM - Balance of the day working on zikula modules and getting
packaging instruction from Ian Weller
If there's demand, we'll get Paul to provide an introduction to
DocBook. as well.
If you don't like this schedule, please feel free to suggest changes
If you are remotely interested in the Docs Project, and are in the
southeast, please consider attending, it will be a huge benefit for
you and the project.

Hands-on: new Fedora release goes up to 11 but doesn't rock
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Seems the reviewer hit one of the installer bugs. The storage layer
rewrite did pop out quite a lot of bugs. Most of them were fixed before
release but some still linger.
http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2009/06/hands-on-new-fedora-re...
"The poor installation experience and a number of other minor bugs that
I encountered (weird SELinux error messages that appear after the
screensaver is deactivated, for example) prevent me from giving Fedora
11 the strong endorsement that I have typically given to new Fedora
releases in the past. The delays simply weren't sufficient to address
all of the problems before launch. For users who don't mind roughing it
and enduring the weaknesses, Fedora 11 does have a lot to offer under
the surface."

Fedora Release 11 (Cambridge): Linux Kernel 2.6.29 + KDE 4.2
14 years, 10 months
From the desk of Jim Whitehurst...
by Paul W. Frields
http://press.redhat.com/2009/06/11/fedora-11-%e2%80%93-wow/
The URL above links to a wonderful note from Jim Whitehurst, President
and CEO of Red Hat, congratulating the community on the release of
Fedora 11. I think it's fantastic that Fedora gets such solid support
from the very top ranks at Red Hat, directly on the company's press
site. One thing that is always in the back of my head, as we work
through all the various release bits, is that I know on release day
Red Hat's CEO -- just like thousands of other people -- is going to
download Fedora and take it for a ride.
Although Jim singled out some specific areas in his blog that
immediately impressed him about Fedora 11, from our phone
conversations I know that he's very proud of the work every team in
Fedora does. He is genuinely passionate about Fedora, and that's due
to *your* superb efforts as part of our large extended family of
contributors.
Thanks to all of you for making this release such an incredible
experience. I hope you enjoy Fedora 11 too, and I'm very excited
about working with all of you on Fedora 12!

Fedora 11 - Wow!
by Max Spevack
http://press.redhat.com/2009/06/11/fedora-11-%E2%80%93-wow/
by Jim Whitehurst, President and CEO of Red Hat
"I’d like to think I’m pretty tech savvy for a CEO and have always been
an early adopter of the latest and greatest tech innovations. It comes
as no shock to those who know me well that I spent yesterday evening
taking Fedora 11 for a test drive. I’m not ashamed to admit that I count
down the days until the latest release of Fedora comes out with the same
level of anticipation that my kids have when they know their birthday is
coming up soon. As the title of this blog notes, one word sums up my
Fedora 11 experience – wow!!!"

Linux 2.6.30 Gets Faster Boot
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3824421
"According to Red Hat, there is a difference between the aims and
process of the new mainline Linux kernel's fastboot -- which was
contributed to the community by Intel -- and the approach to faster
startups taken in Fedora 11.
"They're solving a different set of problems," Fedora kernel maintainer
Dave Jones told InternetNews.com. "The Fedora work has been almost
entirely done by improving init scripts in userspace, and by making
applications more intelligent about the I/O they are doing."
Jones adds that the fastboot patches are valuable, but there larger
problems remain in userspace that can be addressed in Fedora."
