There have been rumours about Linux support in Steam for months, but yesterday a friend pointed me at http://store.steampowered.com/app/900804/
If you look at the bottom of the page, you’ll see this:
So, if it’s not a typo, we could have a pretty good surprise soon 
Yesterday, the Fedora 11 Retrospective Meeting was held, I had the chance to be invited there as a member of the Marketing group. This meeting, done by phone, was a cross-group talk to see what went well and not so well during the Fedora 11 release cycle. The goal is to gather feedback so we can learn from our errors to create an even better Fedora 12. People from the Ambassador group, Fedora Board, Design team, Marketing team, Documentation team, FESCo, Infrastructure team, Quality Insurance team, Release Engineering, Translation team and Website team were present, everyone had around 5 minutes to talk.
I found it very useful even if I didn’t talk too much; Jack, the Marketing team leader, did a good job of saying what needed to be said on our side :p
Long story short, it looks like Fedora 12 will be a “stabilization” release compared to Fedora 11. The main demands could be summed up with:
As a good Swiss guy, I like watches (clichés, clichés), but after a while you get a bit tired of always wearing the same one. So you begin to look around for a second watch, and a third, and so on…It’s really hard to tell WHY you always want new watches just to see the time. Isn’t a 10$ plastic watch enough some may think? Well, no 
Hey all, long time no see
On the Fedora front I was busy doing marketing stuff for the Fedora 11 release. Overall, it went pretty well, it was a great release day and we had quite a lot of good press. Part of this job is also to follow user comments on all the websites we publish news to, on my side this means all the major French speaking IT websites. Doing this, I could see a few tendencies:
Rant: I don’t have much to say on this front, but I don’t think it helps Fedora to multiply the installation medias in an exponential way (Note: specialized spins are something else). Personally I don’t like LiveCD’s because they are slow and have very few “cool” software on them due to space requirements, this defeats the “showcase for new users” argument. Anyway. the download page is broken IMO. Why do we provide a “Desktop Edition” and a “KDE Desktop Edition”? Shouldn’t we have a single “Desktop Edition” link pointing to a choice between Gnome and KDE? Or clearly put “Gnome Desktop Edition” and “KDE Desktop Edition” on the front page? Is KDE a second class citizen? How do you expect a new user to do the right choice?
Couldn’t we have some kind of “choice list” instead? A bit like Ubuntu/OpenSuse do:
We could help people chose the right installation media this way, by providing defaults and clearly explain the options. Wouldn’t it be clearer than having KDE and PowerPC links on the right side of http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora ?
If you have anything to say about the way we marketed Fedora 11, please give feedback to the marketing group! You can leave a comment here, I’ll forward it. This really helps us.
In case you didn’t catch it from some other sources, there is a cool page with Fedora podcasts on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_release_podcasts These podcasts are aimed at the Fedora 11 release, talking about the distribution and what the novelties are. One new podcast should be published there every 2-3 days, so keep looking
Fedora 11: yummy!
If you have friends who want to see what Fedora 11 looks like, there is also a page with multiple screenshots from the installation process, the different desktop environments (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Sugar) and applications here.
Hello,
Allez, un post en français pour une fois 
J’ai quelques livres à donner contre le paiement des fais de port, si ça vous intéresse il suffit de répondre dans les commentaires, ou par mail à steven.moix à axianet.ch. Les bouquins que je donnes:
Yes, here they are. Yes, this was my artistic moment.
This Thursday was the last school day for me, it’s a bit sad to know that you’ll probably never going to work again with the people you were with during the last 3 years…
For the last 2 weeks, we (mostly) worked on Fedora in class and Thursday we gave an awesome Fedora 11 presentation to some teachers. By awesome, I really mean awesome. Imagine a group of people who worked together during 3 years, made a ton of other presentations together and you can get a feeling on how great the last of the many was. If it sounds pretentious, I don’t care. We ruled, and I’m already nostalgic.
We are awesome
So from the left to the right, we have:
Thanks to you all, really. Now it’s time to shift gears and begin to work on my bachelor of science in IT diploma work…more news on that tomorrow.
I have been quite silent on my blog during the last weeks for a good reason, my life got really busy. Besides my studies, I have to finish some Linux server installations for a couple of customers before I start to work on my bachelor of science in IT diploma work, but that’s not what I want to talk about right now.
For the last 3 years I lived with a roommate in another city for my studies, but in around 3 months I will be back to my parent’s house until a find a job, work for a couple of months to save some money to take a flat for myself. This “merging” has some consequences on the IT front: too many computers. I find myself in a home with:
This wouldn’t have any consequence if I wasn’t suffering from some compulsive need to update them constantly, which has a negative impact on my free time :p
For those who didn’t notice, Adobe released an updated version of the 64 bit Flash plugin on 24.02.2009. It’s the version 10.0.22.87 now. The installation procedure is the same than with the old plugin, just delete it before.
