built-in USB drivers
by Philippe Carriere
Hi,
since Fedora 10, USB drivers (more precisely, ehci-hcd for which a patch
is required to be snd-ubs-us112l - alsa-1.0.18 - compatible) are
"built-in" in the official kernel package.
For previous releases (F9), USB drivers always were modules, with the
advantage that providing a patched module (using kmod rpmfusion
framework) just required, after installing the kmod rpms, to
disable/enable the module.
I do not know the motivation of Fedora developers for choosing built-in
rather than module in the pre-compilation configuration: is
it indeed unavoidable ? Or does it exist a fairly simple way (I found
nothing like this in documentations) to disable a built-in driver so as
to replace it by a module, avoiding lengthy kernel compilation for just
a few modified lines ?
Regards
Phil.

Re: Fedora EOL Security Updates
by Scott Williams
I appreciate the responses and interest generated in this project. We
are going to have a meeting tomorrow in #Fedora-EOL at 01:00 UTC
Tuesday, which is 8pm Eastern time to discuss guidelines, and an
action plan moving forward. Anyone who is interested in helping is
welcome. We hope to have a domain and web hosting for the project
soon.
If at any other time, someone would like to bring up their
suggestions, my nick is usually idling in #Fedora-EOL (vwbusguy) and I
am in the room on and off throughout the day.
Thanks,
~Scott

Request for feedback and/or participation on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PowerManagement
by Phil Knirsch
Hey folks.
I've recently spent quite some time on researching and testing what
things we can do to make power management better in Fedora. For that
reason i've opened a Feature request for F11 with the basic stuff that i
think is doable for that release.
So if you have a minute please take look over it and either send me some
feedback or edit the page yourself. :)
In case you're interested in helping make power management better in F11
feel free to participate in any form.
Thanks a lot & regards, Phil

If you are available, it would be fantastic if you briefly tell me in 10

Thomas Sailer gave me few valuable URLs just now, too:

Good to confirm that with you, so I could start the reverse engineering.

Thanks for your kind offer. :)
