» Follow My MOTU Journey…

The packaging presentation this morning really got me excited about getting involved in that area of Ubuntu so I put a few things together in order to try and keep me on this road.

  1. I took a lot of notes and have a lot of links for reference and study.
  2. I’m putting together a schedule to try and keep me on track.
  3. I put together a new blog to document my progress and pitfalls.

If you’re interested in following my journey toward MOTU add http://blog.zelut.org/feed/ to your Feed Reader.

I’d love to get other people interested and educated about packaging by way of that blog.  If you are MOTU and want to help keep me on track please stop by.  If you’re a casual user that would like to start participating please also stop by.  Remember, the more skilled people we have handling and improving packages the better Ubuntu will be!

» Google Summer of Code: Jumping into the fire

So I’ve done it.

Yes, I really have done it this time!

Well, maybe…time will tell.

I’ve gone and posted an idea for a project on the Fedora wiki page for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), but that’s not all, no!

In addition, I took the time to apply to be a mentor at the Google Summer of Code Project page.  And what’s weirder, is I hope I get the opportunity to make this idea a reality, because I think its something that Fedora could really use.

I’m somewhat surprised it hasn’t already been created. A couple of people found this idea too, and have emailed me about it, and I need to reply.  Soon that will happen.

I am really excited.

Cheers,

Herlo
