[In the news] Running Fedora on the Galaxy S

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://ingvar.blog.redpill-linpro.com/2011/05/20/running-fedora-on-the-ga... "Actually running Fedora alone on the Galaxy S may become possible in some distant future, but for now, we have to be content with running a chroot session of Fedora, and running X11 apps via VNC. As Fedora already exists for ARM, all we have to do is to unpack a root filesystem and chroot into it. Easy!" Rahul

[In the news] Interview with Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://pcper.com/news/Editorial/Interview-Jared-Smith-Fedora-Project-Leader "PcPer: What are your plans for the future of this platform? What is new and up-coming? JS: First of all, Fedora is engineered for the long haul. We've made a conscious decision not to sacrifice long-term freedom for short-term convenience. Our development efforts are based on the idea of software and personal freedoms. If you look at the vision statement for the Fedora Project as a whole, you'll see it's about much more than just the bits and bytes on the latest DVD. Our vision statement says that "The Fedora Project creates a world where free culture is welcoming and widespread, collaboration is commonplace, and people control their content and devices." Our work really is centered on the concepts of freedom and free culture, communication and collaboration, openness and transparency, and the open source development model. The main work product of our community is the Fedora operating system" Rahul

Help with Fedora 15 one page release notes

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi The features that get more attention are GNOME 3, systemd, dynamic firewall, consistent device names and boxgrinder. I think we can throw in screenshots of Firefox 4, Libreoffice, Virt-manager and SELinux troubleshooter and leave the rest out to keep it simple. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_one_page_release_notes Rahul

We need some text about gnome 3 for fedoraproject.org

by Elad Alfassa

Hello marketing team. We want to replace the "printing" slide in fedpraproject.org to a slide about gnome 3 (the plan is to make it about a different feature for every release). We need some text about gnome 3, as it's a major Fedora 15 feature, the text shouldn't be too long, and should describe what makes gnome 3 a great DE. Also, we need a screenshot to that slide, and a screenshot to replace this one [1], for the first slide. (We don't want the same screenshot for both) Right now the text is in much higher priority because we would need to give translator some times to translate, so it's better if we will get this as soon as possible.

[In the news] Fedora 15 Boosts Linux Security

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://www.esecurityplanet.com/news/article.php/3934151/Fedora-15-Boosts-... "We have better support for encrypted home directories that get mounted when you log in and that goes a long way to help people feel that their data is secure," Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader told InternetNews.com. In addition to encryption, Fedora 15 debut the new dynamic firewall technology that Smith noted was one of his favorite features in the new Linux release. "Most Linux systems use IP tables type firewalls and the problem is that if you want to make a change to the firewall, it's hard to modify on the fly without reloading the entire firewall," Smith said. "Fedora 15 is really the first mainstream operating system to have a dynamic firewall where you can add or change rules and keep the firewall up and responding while you're making changing." Rahul

[In the news] Other Linux Distros' View of Ubuntu's Unity: It Ain’t Pretty

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/12068_3933716_1/Other-L... At Fedora, Red Hat developer Adam Williamson is packaging Unity because "I wanted to check it out and figured packaging it should be about as easy as installing Ubuntu. It wasn't, but by then my native stubbornness kicked in and now I want to package it more or less because it's there. I doubt it'll work terribly well . . . it'll sorta more or less work but have lots of rough edges and not be something the upstream Unity team would be happy to show off." Williamson stresses, though, that his efforts are personal. "There's been exactly no distribution-wide discussion of this; it's not some kind of official approach to Unity or anything like that. Fedora as a whole has no policy or opinion on Unity. Ditto for Red Hat." Rahu

[In the news] Life with Fedora 15 and Gnome 3

by Rahul Sundaram

H http://aniszczyk.org/2011/05/17/life-with-fedora-15-and-gnome-3/ "I’m pretty happy with the state of things now. I have to admit that in the beginning, I was cursing loudly asking for my desktop and panel back, but I’m used to the dash area and window picker now. The search feature (which is similar to Spotlight in OSX) is really useful and I end up using that for the majority of my tasks. I also find the notification system very well done along with the ability of dealing with messages without changing windows. In the end, all I can say is I find myself using Fedora more over my pretty MacBook Air for the majority of my tasks." Rahul

[In the news] Fedora 15 completed, new contributor agreement

by Rahul Sundaram

Hi http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Fedora-15-completed-new-contributo... "Fedora Engineering Manager Tom Callaway has also announced that all Fedora contributors must agree to the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA) by 17 June if they plan to continue contributing to Fedora. An FAQ on the project's web site offers the FPCA wording and provides a more detailed explanation of the reasons for this measure. For instance, the new document is said to be simpler and remove various obstacles that have reportedly been stumbling blocks for some developers." Rahul
