* The 3d printer is no longer printing properly. I thought it might be an incorrect Z-stop height setting, but if so, I can't seem to get it right. Also, the filament keeps getting jammed and the gears just chew it up and it stops printing. :/ Spent an hour or two trying to get it working again, then gave up ( Read more... )

I've been out in Rochester, NY for most of this week. Red Hat has been partnering with RIT for the last year or so to generate, produce and teach Open Source courses (for an example, see ritfloss). I represented Red Hat at the RIT spring career fair, and the rest of the week, we've been meeting with various RIT students and faculty ( Read more... )

At FUDCon, Greg DeKoenigsberg said something that resonated with me (and I paraphrase), but it was this: After 10 years of being at Red Hat, it is easy to forget that most of the rest of the world, even in the IT industry, doesn't really understand Open Source.
