First things first — and a very exciting thing indeed — we’re finally opening up submissions for the Fedora Picture Book! The instructions for submitting photos are available at [[Submitting images for the picture book]] on the wiki!
And now for something funny brought to you by Facebook’s “Lexicon” application, which charts words based on the amount those words get posted on people’s walls. First, we chart the word “hate”.
As you can notice, hate decreases dramatically on Christmas and New Year’s. But what’s that huge spike from?
Well. :)

Looks like the four foundations fedora foundations freedom friends features first are not extremely high on Google search pages.
A few short statements
March 3rd, 2009
- A community television station must only air locally produced programming, seeing how that’s the definition of “public-access television”. Programs not produced within the community need to have a community producer to put that program on cablecast.
- Production quality is no excuse for limiting First Amendment rights.
- The mission of giving a medium for members in a community with a public-access television station to express their First Amendment rights must be held higher than any other.
Major fp.o chrome change
March 1st, 2009
So recently I pushed a new fedora-logo.png to fedora-web.git. A rationale of the changes is below so that if anybody asks, they can be pointed to this blog post.
- We’re now using the four foundations instead of “infinity, freedom, voice.” The concepts of IFV still stand—this is what our logo is based on, no less—but the current Marketing strategy is the four foundations.
- The colors are fixed. Some might say the colors look off, but one should check the hex codes in the GIMP and match them to the logo usage guidelines.
- The trademark symbol (TM) is now more visible as it is required to be.
