Colin Charles Agenda

• I tried to bake a chocolate banana cake on Sunday. Twice. Both were failures. First was mush, second was hard as a rock. Butter related failures, I think. Todays two durian cakes turned out okay, with the tops being a little burnt.
• 10 weeks of Alpha is over, and I graduated from that, quite gladly. In my little testimonial, I mentioned how crazy the last ten weeks of life have been, but how I’m still having an inkling to not lose faith, which is surprising seeing the crap that’s landed on me. I wished everyone else attending the next session to hopefully, have a better time.
• Sent mom off yesterday. End of the month of parents being around. I actually feel sad. Oh well, departure halls tend to do that to you, maybe.
• mpackage.org has been setup. Now all we need is a team. Pix has done all the legwork of sorting out the web/mail/lists. Dexter Ang is the hero that registered the domain. It seems to be sensible that we have: build system, svn/cvs (some form of revision control) and less repositories, so talking to Anvil (okay, Dams) and it’d seem that we should have an “mpackage team”, but still get heavy lifting distributed. mock looks like what we need to use for a distributed build system. I’ve started asking folk at #mono if anyone’s into Fedora packaging, next to target the mono lists… Want to make it clear this is all for Fedora first - I’m hoping for more contributors, etc. to crop up for RHEL/Centos/etc… if possible. Seems a time/contributor issue is what keeps livna only building for Fedora as well.
• Fedora Marketing next. Its not low hanging fruit anymore. Its happening, and its real. Now to define it a lot further. Ideas appreciated, and we do have a list - fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com. We really ought to work hard for the next 6 days, as Debian and Fedora get released on the same day. Whoote!
• MyOSS Magazine Edition 2 is out. I’m really pleased with how Ow has taken on the task, pretty much by himself, to make this a great mag. So go read it. mag.my-opensource.org
• Rawhide’s kernel from today still hates the Mac mini framebuffer. And parted still doesn’t like my disk on the iBook G3. For future reference, ./pdisk -l /dev/hda will give you useful output. FWIW, I think we need to package pdisk (as fdisk on ppc is not of any use).
