I’ve recently switched a couple of machines over to Fedora and been happy with the results so far. It’ll be interesting to see how one of these events works for someone fresh to the Fedora […]
So I’ve been doing the whole reflecting on the last year and goal setting and planning for the next year thing. As part of the process I look at the schedules for the various groups that I am a part of and those that I run. In particular I want to talk about the Columbia […]
