It would be pretty amazing if your school ran Fedora for their computer classes, wouldn’t it? Of course it would! And for that, I’m proud to present to you, Jonathan Dieter. Jonathan is an active Fedora Ambassador and a true Fedora evangelist. He is an incredible inspiration to young students at the Lebanon Evangelical School in Beirut, Lebanon, where he has used Fedora for over 10 years! In the interview, Jonathan tells us a bit more about his school and other interesting projects he is following these days.

Test Day: Better Switchable Graphics Support

November 2, 2016 / sumantrom / 2 Comments

Thursday, November 3rd, 2016, is the Better Switchable Graphics Support Test Day! As part of this planned Change for Fedora 25, we need your help to test Better Switchable Graphics Support!

Why test Better Switchable Graphics Support?

All modern laptops have a graphics processing unit (GPU) integrated into their processor (the integrated GPU). Some models also have a more powerful, dedicated GPU (dGPU), also called switchable graphics. The goal of this feature is to improve Fedora’s support for such laptops.

We need your help to test Switchable Graphics Support!

All the instructions are on the wiki page, so please read through and come help us test! As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. Be sure to join us in channel on Thursday!

If you were wondering where Flock 2018 might be, today’s guest Redon Skikuli might just have your answer! Redon is not just a Fedora community contributor, he’s a Fedora community creator. I ask Redon what he’s up to these days and why he thinks we should also consider joining future Flocks.

Fedora at Ohio Linuxfest 2016

October 27, 2016 / jbwillia / 1 Comment

Originally posted on Ben Williams’ blog.

This is the Ambassador Report for Ben & Cathy Williams for the Ohio Linuxfest 2016.

We arrived at the our hotel around 1PM on Friday. After checking in we headed over to find the new site in the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The first things we noticed was the Columbus Convention Center is doing a major renovation and one of those renovations was they removed the escalators from the food court to the second floor. At first we thought this may be a issue to move the event stuff in but there was an elevator close by. Also no signage for OLF in the Food Court area. After getting off the elevator on the second floor there was a sign pointing around the corner to the Ohio Linuxfest registration table. This year Ohio Linuxfest charged $10 for general attendees (free to students with student ID). We checked in and out our badges (yes insert favorite Blazing Saddles joke here). We walked down to the Vendor Expo hall which this year had a grand total of 28 exhibitors (see website for vendor lists). While the Expo was setup ready for Vendors to move in but the Vendor Expo was not open to the public on Friday.

Fedora at LinuxCon Europe 2016

October 26, 2016 / eischmann / 2 Comments

The Linux Foundation, the organizer of the conference, says the following about LinuxCon:

“It is the place to learn from the best and the brightest, delivering content from the leading maintainers, developers and project leads in the Linux community and from around the world.”

The Fedora community has been at all European editions since 2011 and this is a report from the last one, which took place on Oct 4-6.

FUDCon LATAM 2016 starts today!

October 13, 2016 / williamjmorenor / 1 Comment

FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference. The Fedora community holds this event annually in the APAC and LATAM regions since 2005. They became exclusive to APAC and LATAM in 2013 when the EMEA and NA regions began organizing the annual Flock conference.

What is FUDCon?

FUDCon consists of sessions, talks, workshops, and hackfests. For Fedora contributors, it is a unique opportunity to share experiences and work together on common goals for the region. For users, it is an opportunity to come into contact with Fedora contributors in the region. It helps find ways to collaborate with contributors and integrate into the community. For FUDCon LATAM, this helps the growth of the Latin-American community. The 2016 edition of FUDCon LATAM is being held from 13-16 October 2016 at Universidad Nacional del Altiplano in Puno. Puno is in southeastern Peru, on the shore of Lake Titicaca.

See you in Puno!

The Fedora community in Peru is one on the biggest in the region. Peru was the venue for FUDCon LATAM 2013 in Cusco. In 2013, FUDCon LATAM had the biggest audience in almost 10 years of FUDCons (around of 800 people attended the event). We hope this event will help bring new partners to the Fedora Project!
