This week’s test day is on Crash Catcher, a new feature which will allow you to submit automatic bug reports when packaged applications crash in Fedora 11. If people could come along to help with the testing, that would be awesome. This is a new feature that will be showing up in Fedora 11 and [...]
Sorry I haven’t posted about work much lately, haven’t had time – had quite a lot of non-work stuff to do lately. So, last Thursday we had the 20 Second Startup project Test Day. It went really well, which was great. We had a good turnout of people both from inside RH and from the [...]
No, not software, the real kind. There was a wonderful line in this week’s Guardian Weekly, in a review by Stephen Bayley of the Royal Academy’s show on the great classical architect Palladio. Bayley writes “I bumped into Robert Adam, Britain’s leading ‘traditional’ architect, carefully taking notes. I asked him what Norman Foster could learn [...]
I read with interest that Google has come up with yet another incredibly clever invention. It’s an email client application. You’re with me so far, right?

Elisa just keeps on rocking more each week. They release an update to the 0.5 series every week with useful bugfixes and small new features, and rarely break anything. This week’s update – 0.5.28 – is particularly dear to my heart, as they implemented a feature I’ve been bugging the poor Fluendo guys about for [...]
I’m happy to announce that phase 1 of the previously discussed QA group Wiki space revamp project is complete. You can now see the new front page and Joining in page in their final locations. I hope everyone agrees that they’re an improvement on the old model. As well as those two pages, we made [...]
Well, time to start posting here about what I’m actually doing for Fedora! There’s a ton of stuff on my to-do list and lots of interesting discussions and ideas I’d like to write down, but I’ll try and stick to one thing at a time. One project we’re doing quite well with is revising the [...]
