Saying thank-you.

It probably shouldn’t be, but sometimes it’s easy to overlook giving people thanks for helping you out.  I just wanted to give props to a few people: mizmo, for helping out with a PR request for screenshots of F16.

This will be my first [ READ MORE ]

Transitions, Soapboxes, and the like…

Well, hi there. By now, most of you have probably heard that yours truly is the new Fedora Project Leader. I’m not going to get too preachy or soapbox-y here, but I have a few things to say: Big shoes to fill, I have before me.  Some of the smartest and wisest and most inspiring [ READ MORE ]
