Vaughan-Nichols offers faint praise for Fedora 17: "GNOME 3.2, which was Fedora 16’s desktop, was dreadful. You don’t have to trust me on that though, just ask Linus Torvalds, Linux’s founder. He hated GNOME 3.2. "That was then. This is now. Fedora 17, with the ungainly name Beefy Miracle-no I’m not making that up, that really is its name-is now in late beta and it’s much better than it was." http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/fedora-17-gnome-34-return-to-a-useful-linux-desktop-review/10975 </pre> Jason Brooks 2012-05-19T17:58:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.marketing/13669 <pre>Hi, Happy B-Day :-) "[...]Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 was the first product in the RHEL line; it was released ten years ago, shortly after Red Hat Linux (RHL) 7.3.

Dubbed Beefy Miracle, the release of the beta was delayed for three weeks while further testing and bug fixing was done to meet the stringent requirements set down by the team.

"To address the problem, Fedora Advisory Board member Toshio Kuratomi is working to build a new naming process that will avoid some of the pitfalls of the most-recent naming concerns." http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/276036/fedora-project-naming-names </pre> Jason Brooks 2012-05-11T01:24:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.marketing/13646 <pre>Hi Serious question; Should the Fedora logo be changed? http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120507#news ' The Fedora website provided fairly positive results. Everyone was able to find an appropriate download link for the Fedora ISOs. Likewise, people were able to find the documentation to walk them through an installation without too much trouble. What I found a bit amusing was that almost a third of the participants thought Fedora was some sort of Facebook plugin or application instead of a full operating system, due to the project's logo. This is one of those things people inside the Linux community would probably never consider, but there's a bit of a confusion over the brand (apparently) where outsiders are concerned."

Other distros, notably Fedora have taken a more democratic approach where community members vote on the release name, but that could soon change.

And for other users there are Fedora spins which give a different set of perspectives for those with specialised tastes and preferences. The value of Fedora to ordinary users is that it doesn't stand still, and each new release brings new possibilities." http://www.h-online.com/open/features/HealthCheck-Fedora-Where-s-the-beef-1520194.html </pre> Jason Brooks 2012-04-20T15:33:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.marketing/13633 <pre>"If you’re called Beefy Miracle, you better pack a punch. And when the Fedora crew christened their next Linux desktop, that was certainly the plan. "On the menu was 'over and under the bun improvements that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free software.' "While Fedora 17 is certainly beefy, what's been delivered with this first and only beta is not particularly miraculous. "Among the more noticeable changes is GNOME 3.4, the latest version of the GNOME 3 desktop. While the Fedora DVD still ships with a variety of desktops, the live CD defaults to GNOME and for some time now Fedora has served as a showcase for the development of GNOME 3." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/04/19/fedora_17_beta_review/ </pre> Jason Brooks 2012-04-20T15:21:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.marketing/13631 <pre>Hello, Next Fedora Videos meting time and date * Date: Thursday, April 19, 2012 * Time: 15:30 UTC (check [1] for your local time) * Location: #fedora-meeting Fedora-Videos wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Videos Hope to see you there!
