Test Days: Internationalization (i18n) features for Fedora 28 2018-03-13

March 6, 2018 / sumantrom / Comments Off

All of the coming week, we will be testing for i18n features in Fedora 28. Those are as follows:

The fontconfig 2.13 Change will be based on the fontconfig upstream 2.13 release which will help to reduce the time during the font package installation/removal on the scriptlet to create/update caches which will make package installations/removal 5x to 10x faster than the previous release. This release also improves the performance of the applications with flatpak.

Then there are 3 default font Changes for Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. All these languages now will use default font as Google Noto fonts. E.g. for Serif style they will use Noto Serif CJK, Noto Serif JP, Noto Serif KR fonts respectively. Continue reading

Fedora 27 Release Party – Bengaluru

I have been a part of Fedora community for last 4 releases and have seen a lot of changes. Among things that have not been changed, Fedora Release Party in Bangalore is one of them.

Thanks to a bunch of very active contributors and an ambassador & mentor (Sumantro Mukherjee), it has now become a custom to celebrate Fedora Release Party in Bangalore.

Different venues, different topics, different cakes but similar faces joining us and sharing their experiences in Fedora community to encourage new contributors to continue their noble work, and users to start contributing. The success story of a student who got an internship in a big company then became an employee always boosts the energy of college students.

Last RP, we tried to on-board few students for QA contributions and this time they came with a lot of reports. They are now active contributors and they introduced themselves to others. I invited my juniors to be a part of RP so that we can help them see the benefits of Open Source contributions.
