| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Here we go! I'm pleased to announce the availability of the Sugar on a Stick v2 Beta Release. This release includes already a preview of the features of the upcoming final release, which is due to November 24 right now.
Major updates have been applied and we are now shipping the Fedora 12 Alpha base system as well as the latest Sugar 0.85.3 release. Additionally, we are now shipping the zyx-liveinstalller by default.

Please download and test your version of this release from here:

When placing the image on your USB key, please use either liveusb-creator for Windows or livecd-iso-to-disk for Linux. We are also providing an appliance image for use with VirtualBox, as well as VMware, to allow even Mac users to test Sugar on a Stick. Later in the development cycle, SoaS will also feature specific images the XO.

Finally, please note also that we are going to have a test day on SoaS together with Fedora QA this Thursday (September 3). Let us know how it goes! In case you encounter any issues, please report them at our bug tracker:

"Thanks for joining us on this Tuesday evening!" --Chris Martin

 Well, it was an awesome Tuesday evening. Coldplay was rocking the stadium of Hannover, where I went to see their show. It was just an impressive show, containing everything from Fix You to Viva La Vida and Yellow.

 So seriously, if you should get the chance to see them live, make sure to use it! Below are some pictures, too...

So I'm looking for a College now...

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Entering my last year in high school here in Germany, I guess it's time to think about a college for the time after school. I've been working on the Fedora Education SIG with the goal to create a development environment for students and teachers (here's the first version, btw), to allow them to jump easily on the train of contributing to open source projects. And I'd love to continue to do so.

Any recommendations college-wise?
