Fedora Announcement News
Fedora Board IRC Meeting 1800 UTC 2010-07-16
Paul W. Frields[1] announced[2] on Thursday, July 15, 2010 on 22:07:53 UTC,
" I'm sending this note on behalf of Jared Smith, who is in Chile right now for FUDCon Santiago 2010.
The Board is holding a public IRC meeting on Friday, July 16, 2010 at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode. The Board is trying an open meeting on IRC, and if they agree it helps conversation work more effectively, it may retain this format. Although there won't be a formal protocol for this initial meeting, all attendees are asked to be courteous to their fellow contributors during the conversation.
For this meeting, the public is invited to simply join #fedora-board-meeting to talk to the Board.
The meeting will last approximately 60 minutes. In response to community inquiries, the meeting will start with a Q&A session. After approximately 40 minutes, depending on how the session is going, Board members may reserve some time for agenda items and questions for the new FPL. Jared will be there provided that Internet connectivity allows. In the event he isn't available, I'll facilitate.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!"
UTOSC 2010 Call for papers extended through August 1st!
Clint Savage[1] announced[2] on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 on 20:52:18 UTC,
"Time goes by quickly, so quickly in fact that top priorities get setto the side and suddenly become missed opportunities. Fortunately submitting a proposal for a presentation at the 2010 Utah Open Source Conference doesn’t have to be one of them!
The deadline for paper submission has been extended until August 1st, 2010, just in time to sit down inside a nice cool coffee shop, sip some of the great local roast and think about what to share with the community.
Really it only takes a minute or two to place a submission and you might find it so easy and fun that you submit more then one.
Don’t worry about not having a full presentation prepared, all that needs to be submitted by the deadline is the proposal, a basic outline of what would be presented to the community at the conference. The next step is easy: sit back, relax and wait to hear if your proposal was selected by vote for the conference. Once selected the entire presentation(s) should be laid out and created.
Don’t have anything to talk about? That’s not what I’ve heard!
Topics can be as wide ranging as are the members of the Utah Open Source community at large (and that is pretty gosh darn diverse!) and should include a variety of experience levels. While one presenter may submit a presentation on Building a Better Community Through Statistics another (and an excellent presentation I attended in 2009,) might be Advanced GIMP: The Digital Diet.
So don’t be afraid to submit a proposal to talk about your favorite open source program(s) that just does silly things or maybe does nothing at all!
Has anyone ever submitted a presentation on an open source pet rock? No? Hhmm…
All ideas are welcome, but please remember to keep with the 2010 theme: its better when its free*.
Being free is so easy that my open source pet rock was free!
Interested? Want more details? Visit the Utah Open Source Conference website at [3] and when your ready to submit your proposal simply create an account and visit [4] to submit your paper.
You could put it off again, but then you will have to pay to attend and where’s the fun in that?"

Fedora User Announcements
Community gaming Saturday - Session 6 - Wesnoth
Bruno Wolff III announced[1]:
"There will be another Fedora Community Gaming session this weekend. We will be playing Wesnoth which is a turn based fantasy strategy game.
We will be starting at: UTC: 1700 Saturday July 17, 2010 EDT: 1pm Saturday July 17, 2010
We need people on time for this one as adding people late is difficult.
We'll meet up in #fedora-games. We'll use the Wesnoth lobby to set up the game once we see whose playing. Fedora Talk will be available (x2010) for people that want to try it.
It's not that hard to play for new players.
We'll either play team vs team or team vs AI depending on what people want to do. We'll play on a small map so we can finish in less than 2 hours. (I'll move faster this time, I promise.)
We will be using the 1.8 version. People running F12 well need to install a scratch build[2] or perhaps run an F13 live games image for the session.
