Gwibber 2.0 in Fedora testing
November 21st, 2009
Huge interface rework. A lot nicer looking. Go test it—F11 and F12 are in Bodhi.

Long overdue screenshot
November 2nd, 2009
Down at FAD Fedora Talk 2009, I spent most of my time working on a mockup for how we could create a new interface to control Fedora Talk in Fedora Community. Here’s a screenshot of what I ended up committing to a new talk branch:
The hope for this interface is to provide a drop-dead simple way of starting a conference and selecting whether to stream and record it or not.
Community statistics in Fedora and beyond — and where it’s going from here
September 10th, 2009
During my summer internship with Red Hat’s Community Architecture team, my main assignment was to build an automated platform (which eventually was built into Fedora Community) for generating and displaying statistics within our community.
Needless to say, it didn’t get done. :) But it did get a healthy start, and even though the last couple of months I haven’t been extremely active in Fedora, it’s still alive and well.
This week, I started working on a research paper for my independent study at my high school. This independent study just happens to be continuing work on the project that I started a couple of months ago. The paper will include mostly primary sources of what people have said on Stats 2.0’s discussion page on the wiki, but I would love to talk with people on IRC about what they think is important to track so we can analyze not only the growth of the Fedora, but the growth of the community.
It doesn’t end with the one-semester independent study. I am presenting on this subject at UTOSC 2009. In this presentation I will discuss many of the variables of a free software community that can be tracked, and even provide example code and where to get started on automatically tracking them.
So, there’s the state of the Stats 2.0. Would you like to speak with me on IRC sometime about what you think is important to be tracked?
WordPress upgrade
September 5th, 2009
Just performed a clean upgrade to WordPress 2.8.4 since I badly needed one. Let me know if anything’s broken.
Blog post to come later today on Fedora’s Statistics 2.0, my upcoming UTOSC speaking role about it, and my independent study revolving around it as well.

- Pestered people massively over IRC
- Ran a camera (video and still)

POSSE, day 1 (afternoon)
July 20th, 2009
I’m really only writing this to see if it gets up on the planet in time before we go on to the next subject ;)
Hello, POSSE! :D
POSSE, day 1 (morning)
July 20th, 2009
no sleep is CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL >:(
In other news, Delta messed up my flights but they fixed it all without any hitches other than my parents getting worried, and I met Mel. All’s cool! :)
Need a hackergotchi?
July 9th, 2009
The design team can help you create one.
Go grab a photo of yourself (preferably in a high resolution), upload it somewhere, and create a new ticket at the design team’s Trac repository. (You’ll need to be logged in with your FAS account to create a ticket. The login link is in the upper right-hand side of the page.)
There has been a lot of people on Planet recently without a hackergotchi—just a face. We’ll help you change that. :)
