Hi,
I see that rpmfusion is working already on Fedora but the
"Configuration page for users" is still empty:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Why?
Thank you for your hard work! My Fedora box automatically switched to
rpmfusion without a glitch and it is working perfectly!
Thank you!
Valent.

* RPM Fusion still is not yet announced
Thank you for your hard work! My Fedora box automatically switched

The you likely had livna-testing enabled (see

help

I gave the wiki some TLCs today. In particular:
* updated FoundingPrinciples: used present tense and not future, said
that we support kernel module (in kmod2 format), used free repository
(and not freeworld).
* deleted PackageMergeReviews and referenced pages. They should no
longer be needed.
* renamed InitialPackageMerge to PackageMergeStatus. Both Thorsten and
I wondered if we should updated this page since it is a PITA to keep
it in sync.
* made an "hidden" configuration page called ConfigurationNew to be
displayed only after announce.
* delete dkms reference from various pages since we just support kmod2.
Feedback and further improvements are welcome :)
Bye,
Andrea.

I don't think we should update it, I see 2 options:
1) Nuke it
2) Preserve it as a place to point to which packages from which repos were
merged and which version they had when merged, this feels like a kludge,
so I say nuke it :)

+1 for nuking it (didn't we agree to nuke it in a discussion five or six
weeks ago already?)

Looks ok, but I have the feeling it needs a higher advertising rate.
I'm thinking about adding things like: "Do you want playback of various
multimedia formats to work painlessly"
"Are you stuck with an nvidea card and do you want to use 3D"?
Etc.

I agree. I tried to put down something more but I'm not really a copy

It is (better now). But I would scrap mega mario from the games list, it comes
to close to trademark infringement and it isn't that good of a game either.

The "... and plays DVDs." part is mostly a lie. If you only use RPMFusion,
you won't be able to play most DVDs.

I'm wondering if we should keep freshrpms and/or livna running for it,
as they are known and the signing keys are trusted.

I made some more modifications. See

I'd say the more the better :)
I thought about:
slashdot.org

www.osnews.com
lwn.net
punto-informatico.it (an Italian IT news site)
ziobudda.net (an Italian linux portal)
There are certainly others too...

Given my new employer I won't be doing it. So I think either you are Xavier
should do it.
I'm fine with that. we just need to be agreed about the announcement
content before i push anything.
for the 'where' question :
fedora-{announce,devel,}-list and planet.fp.o could do the trick.

thx; I'd say a time somewhere around 14:00 or 15:00 UTC is likely the
best to send it out.

content before i push anything.
Well, I fine with what's in the wiki right now. If someone doesn't agree
with it then there are still 24 hours left to complain and/or enhance.
Just one more question: We had planed to send a second mail out on
thursday together with the preview announcement. I'd say we should use a
different (shorter) text for that; I can take care of that if that's
fine for everybody.
for the 'where' question :
fedora-{announce,devel,}-list and planet.fp.o could do the trick.
Could you please also point lwn.net, linuxtoday and others (see mail
from Rahul) to the fedora-announce-list post in the ml-archives once
it's out?

Before sending out the announcement, you should also delete the wiki
page called Configuration and rename ConfigurationNew as
Configuration.

I have to ask...why is RedHat wasting all your C programming/X Video talents
on spaghettified python code? Are you not better suited to work on X
programming, or working on free ATI or nVidia drivers or something?
Hopefully they will see the light and correct their ways, but RedHat still
prefers PyGTK over PyQt, so I'm not holding my breath ;-)

Do you know you are sending html mail?
I sometimes turn on rich formatting in gmail to send monospaced
computer code...I guess gmail doesn't reset that on subsequent emails.
