NLUUG Filesystems Storage (May 7th)
Hello, I'm sending you this announcement because it's a very interesting event organized by the Dutch UUG, on the subject of Filesystems Storage, with key people giving keynotes and sessions amongst which is the core developer of ext4. Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip == Every bit counts. From a single byte to billions of images, from one line of text to a gigantic tangled semantic web of documents, from clay tablets to 3D holographic memory, storage and the means to organize storage have always been important to humanity. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes, it was said; a sailboat crossing the Atlantic still manages rates of a little over 1GB/s end-to-end. A petabyte of storage weighs about as much as a small car, but a large physics experiment can fill that up in less than a week. The modern rate of data production and amount of data storage --and crucially also data search and retrieval-- have pushed the limits of computer storage and the traditional file system further and further back. The NLUUG Spring Conference 2009 focuses on storage and the means to organise it: file systems, physical storage, connections and search. The keynote speaker at the conference will be Ted Ts'o, author of the ext4 file system in Linux and CTO of the Linux Foundation. Other subjects at the conference are DRBD, desktop search and ZFS. The conference is in conference center 'De Reehorst' in Ede, The Netherlands. Information about the full programme and registration can be found at the conference website: http://www.nluug.nl/events/vj09/index.html As always members of NLUUG and sister organisations as well as students get a hefty discount. -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Slogan, redux
Hi Marketeers, There is still some time left before a final slogan is required for the Fedora release web site. (Currently we use the slogan Fire it up from the Fedora 10 release.) However, during the intervening period since we collected slogans, the artwork for Fedora 11 has changed significantly, dropping virtually all of the design elements on which we based our slogan guidance. This is not a negative comment; in fact, I really like the new artwork, which is quite different from the earlier versions that I liked as well. You might think I'm easy to please, but there are plenty of people who know me that will tell you otherwise! ;-) I prefer to think that our Artwork team just does consistently great work. Now the artwork features a lion (which is appropriate given the etymology of the F11 release name, Leonidas). Since we try to tie the slogan to the artwork, I've come up with some candidates. I would like to open the door for 48 hours for more suggestions. At the end of the process, I'll look at the total list and pick from it. I've updated the wiki and invite you to put in suggestions. *Please* look at the ground rules and try your best to stick to them. If you think your previous slogan should be considered, feel free to just copy it to the new table. I'll look at the results on Saturday night or Sunday and touch base with the list with some thoughts. Thanks everyone! https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_release_slogan -- Paul W.

Umm Let it ROAR Heart of a Lion THIS IS FEDORA! (cheesy I know) These are probably stupid slogans though I gave it a shot. I'll think of more later. Hutchint On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 2:09 PM, Paul W.

Re: Slogan, redux
Let it ROAR That's actually nice ! Is « roar » an action verb in english ? If so, it could be nice to use it as the main verb of the sentance, something like « Roar with pleasure » (but with something other than « pleasure », it's a Linux distribution, not an orgasm, even though some might have weird sexual perversions :) -- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
