[Fwd: Re: Interview Regarding NetworkManager]
by Nelson Marques
Hi,
I've got a very nice interview from Dan, which has very good contents
for my work. I've taken the liberty of attaching the full email
non-edited.
I've got enough information to pull a non-technical article. By merging
this with the already existent information of NetworkManager, this be
fun actually a very fun thingie.
I will report soon, with 24 hours as I said earlier, it's going to be
done. Right after we advertise it, please wait for my "go" as I would
like to give Dan the time to review and provide some editorial-cuts if
applicable.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

Interview with Dan Williams
by Nelson Marques
Hey,
I've mailed now my interview to Dan Williams. Once I get the reply I'll
be needing 24 hours most to write the article.
Regarding to this, something else came into my mind. Would it be
welcome if we prepared a new category on our wiki to group all this
interviews being done?
Something in the scope of "Meet fedora contributors" > pointer.
At some point gathering all interviews in single webpages indexed by
the people who gave the interview and possibily establishing a timeline
based on the release ?
Other thing, I've swapped the orientation of the interview I've sent to
Dan in order to get a more human approach and provide a different kind
of content (will try to promote actually people joining to Fedora as
developers).
I'll be giving new soons, hopefully by the end of the week this should
be accomplished. I'm also considering sending a small interview to
people behind KNetworkManager as it's also important. Most likely also
covering nm-applet.

[In the news] Fedora 13 beta goes live
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Fedora-13-beta-goes-live
"With Goddard comes a number of updates and new features for end users
and developers alike. For the first time in Fedora history it's possible
to install a Python 3 stack in parallel to the current Python 2.6,
allowing developers to better optimize and increase the compatibility of
their work. Another treat for developers is an improved GNU debugger
that allows unified information for C/C++ libraries and Python, all in
the same running process"

Re: Btrfs feature profile
by Hannah Kowen
Hello everyone,
The best time for an interview is Thursday between 11am and 12pm Eastern
time or next Tuesday April 20 at the same time can work as well. Which ever
medium of interview is most convenient for both Chris and Josef is fine with
me, please just let me know. And if neither of those times work, we can set
up another time.
I'm excited to learn more about Btrfs and thanks for your time.

[In the news] Fedora 13 - Ubuntu's smart but less attractive cousin
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/13/fedora_13_beta_review/
Perspective: We need to advertise the end user facing features more
loudly. Ubuntu includes gwibber and a applet and advertises it as
social networking built-in. We do have similar features: Pino is
default for Fedora 13. If we can get the one page release notes effort
pushed forward, it would help.
Factual corrections: Feel free to post them to the site. I don't have
a account there yet. mesa-dri-drivers-experimental is not a separate
driver. GNOME version is 2.30
Release notes: Does Anaconda create a separate /home only if the
available space is more than 50 GB? Such details need to go into the
release notes.
