Hacking the video stream for BlueJeans on Linux
Like most of the rest of the world, I'm working from home and stuck inside. I saw some folks who had virtual backgrounds setup on Zoom, and I wondered if something like that was possible for the videoconferencing service that my employer (Red Hat) uses, BlueJeans. The short answer is: No. Bluejeans has no native support for anything other than a ( Read more... ) -
Musings on business models for open source software
Note: I use "open source" here, but I really mean "the amalgamation of open source and free software as defined by the Open Source Definition and the Free Software Foundation, respectively". It was the shortest thing to type.
I have been thinking a lot about open source from a business perspective lately. While the statement that “open source is ( Read more... ) -
FOSDEM and Fedora
I have been going to FOSDEM on and off for the last nine years or so, and I have somewhat notoriously described it as 10 pounds of conference in a 5 pound sack. It is the sort of conference where European FOSS contributors and users can be assumed to be present (and lots of other international ones as well). I like FOSDEM, I like that it is ( Read more... ) -
Fedora at Midwest Rep Rap Fest 2015
I attended Midwest Rep Rap Fest 2015 this weekend, in Goshen, Indiana. Goshen is about 45 minutes outside of South Bend (the nearest regional airport). This part of Indiana is noteworthy for a few reasons, including the fact that Matthew Miller, the Fedora Project Leader, is from there. It also has a very large Amish population, which makes it one ( Read more... ) -
Chromium revisited
It's been more than a year since I've had a successful build of Chromium that I was willing to share with anyone else, but last night I pushed out a Fedora 20 x86_64 build of the current stable Chromium. Here's where you can go and get it ( Read more... ) -
FOSDEM 2014
FOSDEM is pretty much _the_ European community FOSS event. I've been going on and off for a few years now, but in the last few years, it has had a dedicated Legal devroom, and I really enjoy that aspect of it. I spoke in a short session in the Legal devroom on H264 and Cisco's donation of openh264. I thought that talk went okay, but every time I ( Read more... ) -
Changing the GNOME 3.10 lock screen art
I upgraded to the Fedora 20 work-in-progress tree on my laptop recently, and one of the first things I noticed about GNOME 3.10 was the new lock screen. Specifically, this:

Fedora running UNDERWATER
I've been very very busy lately writing frantically for the Raspberry Pi Hacks book (OMG deadlines everywhere), but I made a little video to go with one of the hacks, and I thought people might be interested in it ( Read more... ) -
Updated scribus packages
At the request of Mo Duffy, I've updated my scribus 1.5 packages to the latest SVN trunk code, and built them for Fedora 18 and 19 (the currently stable releases of Fedora ( Read more... ) -
Running todo list
I've been trying to shove everything that needs doing into a running todo list, but I'm sure I'm missing something.
This is your chance to point out anything that you think I need to do, but haven't done (or shown any signs of doing). No need to point out Chromium, I know about that one.
