Congrats, to spot with his new job as Fedora Ninja overlord, it think he have done a great job with license and legal stuff, that is very importent, but something most people avoid like fire

Also congrats to Paul with his position as the Fedora Project Manager, looks like a great choice.

And the the Fedora Oscar goes to ‘Max’ for his great job as the Fedora Shogun, He has done a great job of promoting Fedora. And it seems like he have pulled at lot strings inside Red Hat to the benefit of Fedora and have recruited some very skilled Fedora Ninjas. Hope he will continue his work for fedora, after he have passed on his throne to Paul.

I can be fun to make test cases.

I am creating test cases for the new skip-broken functionality in yum.

Here is an example:

Year++

2007 is over and 2008 has just begun. And it time to look back to what happed in year 2007.

Fedora:

Fedora 7 was released and extra and core was merged, there was some noise around the merged because all the new tools (koji,bodhi,pkgdb etc) there was introduced, made the life a little more complex for people maintaining a lot of packages, but the developers has worked hard to make the tools better, so it think they is in pretty good state by now IMHO.

Later in the year Fedora 8 was released, one of the best Fedora releases ever, but it think so on every release

I got a lot of work done on the projects i work on: yumex, yum, yum-utils, PackageKit, Bodhi and iniparse and even got time to do some package reviews, it is not the most fun thing to do, but it is very important to get the nice floss software out there included in Fedora.

Life:

This year the family got a puppy and it is now around 19 week old, it is a very fun creature, but there is one word there is repeated a lot of times ‘NEJ’ (‘No’ in danish), when the dog is stealing food and chewing up the kids toys.

Happy New Year for all the people working hard to making Fedora rock so hard, without selling out the freedom.
