Release notes/OOo/fedora-ppc

Spent some time writing those GNOME release notes; they’ll be good to go by the weekend I’m sure. More time was wasted earlier on my commute to the Indian Consulate (~2hrs each direction).

Novell’s doing interesting things in terms of OOo - Ramesh Babu has gotten a weekly development report (statistics), while Krishnan has gotten Planet OpenOffice.org working (no official launch yet, iirc). Garrett (at RedHat) has some OOo icons - so we’ll have BlueCurve stuff, as well as the Ximian-ised icon-set (GNOME) and the standard Sun one. Too many icons if you ask me, and a lack of consistency.

Fedora on PPC beginners guide might be handy; when time permits, I’ll write one up. In the meantime, tracking the ruffpack at http://cvs.terraplex.com/yum/ and using fedora-devel-ppc stuff at http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/ppc/ will do well in yum.

Oh, saw The Fighting Temptations in the cinema today. Consequently had tea and dinner outside. Breakfast was out too. Costly++ day.
