Notes from the meeting are below.


== Lessons learned from five years of Fedora ==
See you next week!


[[RahulSundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] highlighted [1] the OpenSUSE Community Manager, Joe Brockmeier, in his blog posting posting, "Lessons learned from five years of Fedora". Brockmeier reflects on building open source community projects, and the success Fedora has had in this regard.   "The most valuable thing I’ve learned watching Fedora is this: Patience. It takes time and steady, incremental growth to build a solid community. If you’d asked me two years into Fedora’s development whether the project would succeed, I’d have been somewhat skeptical, but looking at the project five years down the road, I’m convinced."

The blog "Spread Fedora" offered a short story on Fedora's hardware profiler, Smolt.[1]  "It would be very beautiful and comfortable if there were some GNU/Linux distribution that keep track of used hardware of the users or just could provide information how the particular hardware would perform. I know such a distribution - Fedora. "

The blog "Spread Fedora" also offered part II of their experience installing and configuring Fedora on a Toshiba A300D laptop.[1]  Part I[2] was highlighted in last week's FWN. In this week, configuring the USB to ethernet and sound card tweaking.

But it would also be nice to let them share their photos on social networking sites like Facebook, identi.ca, foursquare, twitter, etc.  I can also see gaining contributors from this concept, in that they are now 'part' of Fedora's legacy.  Maybe having them show up on the FedoraProject front page when an event is happening? I seriously think that this is stuff that everyone in Fedora would love."

SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future

Clint Savage discussed[1] strategies for making the "SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future" more universal to FAmNA events.

"As you probably know, I've been hanging around Fedora for a few years now. I helped improve the events that Fedora attends by creating the Fedora EventBox. It's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSW. I would like to thank Mo, Emily, Spot, Jared and anyone else who helped make the booththere awesome!
