Some more changes to the website

There has been a lot of movement in the Fedora Websites team lately. Some new proposals for a new design for the planet has been posted on the mailing list and they have been brought to the meeting getting a lot of attention and feedback (great work Craig).

Once again its time to show some changes to the Fedora's main site (http://fedoraproject.org) that I've proposed and that are also a subject that still need some discussion before it gets mature enough to be a real change for the site. This time the changes focused more on the first page of the site in which are shown some options to download Fedora Desktop Live image either by Torrent or in a direct download method (HTTP). The idea was to promote only one single media that will hopefully fulfil all the user's need, so that is why the Desktop Live Media is the one proposed.

fp.o proposal

There is also a news and Spins column that I'm sure need a lot more work (and probably some RSS feeds to make the news more content rich).  Also the Get-Fedora section was changed to provide a more intuitive way for new users to download Fedora.



If you followed the last month discussions about get-fedora in the mailing list you will probably notice this proposal is fairly equal to the one proposed back then. The changes were made in the JavaScript and now no more fancy animations are there (i didnt like them that much). Also there is only options to the official Fedora installation media and all spins will be their own space (which will be spins.fedoraproject.org).

I know it still need some work specially to provide a more efficient-not-so-user-friendly way for all hackers/experts who just want a one click method to download any media they want (i have already seen people complaining about too many clicks to download the media eventhough its only 3 clicks which imho isnt that much)

Anyway, these are my proposals and as i said they need some work so i would like you people to give some feedback, propose new things, correct when you see fit, and cricise if thats the case so all the people involved with the Fedora Websites Team an I can work on this feature that may lead us to have a so much better website

Current working site is available at http://jprada.fedorapeople.org/out/en

Zombies Meme

yeah.. i couldn't resist :)


You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:

1. One weapon
2. One song blasting on the speakers
3. One famous person to fight along side you.




1. As right now I'm into Martial Arts I would go for my bare hands!... (taste the fury of my fists you rotten corpses)
2. The Final Sacrifice from Avantasia. We all know I wont survive without a real weapon :P
3. I would choose a Breton, their magic ability to control summoned beasts and their skills in white magic are certainly a help

In quest for....

So I'm in quest for an internship. I would really like to get something related to what I actually do which is web development or linux in general. I'm a serious guy, I learn fast and I'm always willing to accept challenges. so, if any of you know of any available internship please let me know, it would be very appreciated :)

Dear Linux Hater

Shut the fuck up. For how long will you be posting crap on your blog?. I accept the fact the you dont like Linux at all, but before starting to criticize and say all that shit about linux, try it!!!. Im sure even a retarded user like you will probably find something good in using linux. And btw, why on earth would somebody like DRM over a free linux distro?.

Do yourself a favour and jump from the higher building in your town.

I'm still here

This is just a test to see if my .planet file is really working...

And also a chance for me to say how disappointed I am right now. I was suppose to travel yesterday to Bogota (Colombia's capital city) due to Campus Party, which is scheduled for June 23th (I know its still early but I wanted to have a chance to spend some time at Bogota visiting some old friends, and presenting my CV to some companies there to have a chance to do an internship the next semester). But then something here about my thesis appeared to ruin my travel plans and so I had to stay and fix all those issues in the document.

One good thing though is that my university is writing an small article about Fedora 9's release and my involvement with the project so I'm gonna take this chance to encourage everybody at the university to join the project, now that's easier than ever :)
