On Teaching Open Source Development
,----[ Quote ]
| DeKoenigsberg is probably better known--for
| now--by his last job title: Senior Community
| Architect at Red Hat. It was more from this
| experience that he addressed the OSS 2010
| audience on Open Source Projects, Educational
| Opportunities.
|
| DeKoenigsberg told the attendees of
| educators, researchers, and students that
| academic institutions are missing a real
| opportunity for instruction if they aren't
| teaching with open source software. For one
| thing, working on a 5,000-line senior
| capstone project nowhere near conveys the
| sheer scale and complexity of a million-line
| project. And an open source project is the
| only kind of project a student developer
| could even get near something that big.

Becoming a Fedora contributor
,----[ Quote ]
| I became a Fedora contributor after
| experiencing what I felt was a highly
| polished distro and outstanding support
| from the Fedora user community - my Fedora
| profile can be viewed here. I had attempted
| to become a contributor for another distro,
| but the process required to do so ended up
| being so long and difficult that I just
| gave up and moved on. I felt that, if they
| really wanted help, their join process
| would have been much easier and their
| people would have been more helpful.

Fedora 13
,----[ Quote ]
| Summary: Fedora 13 adds social media to the
| desktop, the GNOME Color Manager and numerous
| other updates and enhancements. Itâs definitely
| worth an upgrade if youâre currently using
| Fedora 12.

Fedora 13 â Linux for Applephobes
,----[ Quote ]
| That focus on the more tech savvy,
| contributing users is reflected in Fedora
| 13, where you'll find open source, 3D-
| capable graphics drivers, excellent Python
| tools, some very nice color management
| tools, and other less flashy improvements.

Fedora 13 (Goddard) Hits the Waves
,----[ Quote ]
| I have loaded the Gnome 64-bit version on
| my Lifebook S6510 (Intel Core2 Duo and 965
| graphics) and HP Pavillion dv2-1010ez (AMD
| Athlon Neo and AMD Radeon graphics), and
| the Gnome 32-bit version on my HP 2133
| Mini (VIA C7-M and Chrome9 graphics). All
| loaded easily and without significant
| problems. The 2133 has a small (10")
| relatively high resolution (1280x768)
| screen, and I thought the default font
| size was much too large, but it took just
| a few mouse clicks to reduce that, and it
| looks fine now.
|
| Here are a few of the significant changes
| and improvements that I have noticed
| personally.

Fedora 13 released with open 3D drivers and Python 3 stack
,----[ Quote ]
| I tested Fedora 13 myself to see how it
| compares to the previous version. It's a
| fairly solid release, certainly one of the
| better offerings from Fedora that I've
| seen in a while. The improvements relative
| to version 12 are somewhat modest, but
| compelling enough to motivate an upgrade.
| The general level of fit and finish has
| increased since the previous version.
| After spending several hours with Fedora
| 13, my conclusion is that the new hat is a
| good fit.

Work underway to keep Xen support in Fedora 13

| As for KVM, Red Hat is, of course, a major
| contributor to Kernel-based Virtual
| Machine (KVM), a project the company
| committed to when it purchased KVM's
| pioneer Qumranet in 2008. Red Hat's
| commercial version, RHEL 6.0, was the
| first RHEL version to have dropped support
| for the Xen hypervisor.

Fedora 13 Lightscribe labels
,----[ Quote ]
| Nelson Marques and James Findley (siXy)
| have put together a set of LightScribe
| disc labels for Fedora 13. I donât know if
| there is a way to use them using free
| software (I donât have a LightScribe
| drive) â I know you can use LightScribeâs
| proprietary app in Fedora to make them.
| Anyway, these seem to be popular every
| release so here they are fresh for your
| F13 arch of choice, thanks to Nelson and
| James!
