If you have ever wanted your startup sequence to include a butterfly flapping its wings across the screen instead of a boring old progress bar, this is the series for you. | | [[user:suchakra|Suchakra]] also blogged on Fudcon Pune<ref>http://suchakra.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/fudcon%e2%86%94funcon-pune-2011/</ref>. |

| [[RichardHughes|Richard Hughes]] created<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/12/08/shared-color-profiles/</ref> the <tt>shared-color-profiles</tt> project to collect ICC profiles for various devices for use with Gnome Color Manager. Also mentioned<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/12/16/advances-of-freedom/</ref> is a set of inexpensively available targets for use in calibrating any unknown device. | | [[user:kushal|Kushal Das]] posted photos<ref>http://kushaldas.in/2011/11/10/photoset-from-fudcon-pune-2011/</ref> of the event to his blog. |
| | ===Fedora Community=== |
|
| |
|
| [[KarelZak|Karel Zak]] described<ref>http://karelzak.blogspot.com/2009/12/unshare1.html</ref> the new <tt>unshare</tt> command that is part of <tt>util-linux-ng</tt> 2.17. "The unshare(1) is a new command line interface to unshare Linux syscall and allows a program to run with some parts of the process execution context unshared from parent." An example shown is hiding a mounted filesystem within one shell session.
| | The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users. |
|
| |
|
| [[User:Jkeating|Jesse Keating]] announced<ref>http://jkeating.livejournal.com/76407.html</ref> the upcoming move of Fedora's package source control system from CVS to Git. | | [[user:jjmartinez|Juanjo Martinez]] blogged on his first impressions of F16, calling it an "impressive release"<ref>http://engbblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/welcome-fedora-16/</ref>. |
|
| |
|
| [[DaveJones|Dave Jones]] presented<ref>http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/2009/12/10/annoying-kernel-packaging-bug/</ref> a conundrum in packaging the Linux kernel. "The kernel rpm package creates an initramfs file that gets dropped in /boot at install time. Creation of this file is the responsibility of dracut (or mkinitrd in older releases), called from the kernels %post script. Because we want removal of a kernel to also remove its associated initrd file (or else /boot would fill up), we used to list the initramfs file in rpms database as a %ghost file owned by the kernel..."

| [[User:Jspaleta|Jef Spaleta]] asked<ref>http://jspaleta.livejournal.com/50356.html</ref> "Can corporations be friendly?" and what that means for MySQL in the context of Oracle's purchase of Sun.

| |
| | |
