This seems odd. Max, for example, has been doing budgets and placing them on the
wiki without having to resort to additional software. How many of the various
open source packages (GnuCash, sql-ledger, SugarCRM, etc.) have you investigated?

Hi all,
Thanks for the kind introduction,
Jon - I'd be happy to get involved with any developer interviews! I've had a
quick scout of the Marketing Plan and would be keen on getting involved in
this, too. It seems a solid framework has been established for it's
development and would be a great project to be work on.
I'm going to assume the meeting is held in #fedora-mktg? If so, I'll see you
there 2000 UTC.
Thanks, and all the best,
Aaron

Introduction
by Donnell Nichols
Hello
My name is Donnell Nichols, I am happy to be a part of the Fedora
Ambassadors group. I am currently a consultant working in information
security and critical infrastructure protection. My main area of focus
is research, development and marketing of software, products, and
equipment that can be deployed during disasters to not only protect
critical infrastructure, but also deployable platforms that will enhance
the abilities of corporations and NGO's continuity of operations plans.
I look forward to being active in helping to get the word out regarding
Fedora.
Thanks
Donnell

Hello to all,
I'd like to join the Fedora marketing team, and believe I have to submit a
self introduction, of which I have included bellow.
Aaron Yates
London, United Kingdom (BST, GMT+1)
I am currently on my University placement in London with Siren World Wide
Ltd, a professional services company working in On Demand, Digital Marketing
and Telephony. My degree programme is BSc Digital Art and Technology at the
University of Plymouth, Devon, UK.
As part of the Fedora project I'd ideally like to contribute to expanding
Fedora's user base via different mediums and channels, whilst improving my
knowledge of the OS and the community surrounding and expanding Fedora.
I have previous experience in Web development and design across the typical
platforms and mobile devices. Relevant experience pertaining to this
community is 4 years part time work during my schooling for an Events
company, based in the Midlands, UK, for a wide range of charities, corporate
events and weddings. By the end of my time with this company I was regularly
managing groups of up to 30 staff, as part of a much larger team, to achieve
a successful event for both the client and the teams of staff involved. In
my current position on placement, I am a part of the creative team, but
liaise closely with the accounts department to visit clients to aide in
presentations and pitches.
Thank you for your time,
Best regards,
Aaron Yates

Fedora in podcast - Run Your Own Server Episode 5
by Valent Turkovic
I listened to a podcast called "Run Your Own Server Episode" and in
episode 5 they talked about Fedora so here are my tomboy notes in this
email and also as a html page exported from tomboy.
http://feeds.runyourownserver.org/~r/runyourownserver/~5/97327624/ryos-po...
Fedora Project history. RHEL Beta?
• connection between RHEL - Fedora Project - Community
• Fedora release cycle
• Why is Fedora good as a server?
• Fedora installation process
∘ sneak peak of RHEL
∘ SELinux - suggested to be disabled
∘ LVM - explanation what is used for, but they don't use it and they
personally disable it
∘ Firewall - turned off because they make custom firewall scripts
∘ SELinux - explanation of functionality, bad experience with it
• lockdowns on new installed fedora box
∘ chkconfig --list
∘ never run runlevel 5 on server! No X!
∘ dislike for lots of services running by default
∘ chkconfig --level 345 <service> off
∘ block ssh access to fixed IP address or host
∘ denyhosts and allowhosts
• fedora updates
∘ yum updates
∘ repositories
∘ reload fedora every 6 months because of release cycle :(
∘ end of live for fedora - 1 year, nightmare if you have lots of fedora boxes
• Conclusion
∘ you can see what will RHEL look like in 2-3 years
∘ not recommended for producion server
∘ good for workstation
• Log files
∘ general discussion about log files, unrelated to fedora
Cheers,
Valent.
