		<title>&#8220;Dart&#8221; out in the open &#8211; what&#8217;s it all about?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning was the big &#8220;Dart language&#8221; unveil &#8211; the Dart websites are up at http://dartlang.org and http://dart.googlecode.com. And already many seasoned Javascripters have the knives out. I&#8217;m surprised for a couple of reasons: the first, this isn&#8217;t quite as big a deal as many people thought it would be (me included), both in terms [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is package management failing Fedora users?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(For those looking for an rpm rant, sorry, this isn&#8217;t it&#8230;.!) Currently there&#8217;s a ticket in front of FESCo asking whether or not alternative dependency solvers should be allowed in Fedora&#8217;s default install. For those who don&#8217;t know, the dependency solver is the algorithm which picks the set of packages to install/remove when a user [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speculation on Google&#8217;s &#8220;Dart&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just yesterday people jumped on the biographies and abstract for a talk at goto: the Keynote is Google&#8217;s first public information on Dart, a &#8220;structured programming language for the world-wide web&#8221;. Beyond knowing a couple of the engineers involved &#8211; which allows a certain amount of inference to take place &#8211; there&#8217;s also some speculation [...]]]></description>

		<title>The quality of Fedora releases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scott James Remnant blogged his ideas about how to improve the quality of Ubuntu releases recently, triggering some discussion at LWN about the topic. I offered some opinions about Ubuntu which are not terribly interesting because I don&#8217;t get to use it often; however, I did also write about Fedora based on the last couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who can program?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve been pondering the above question for a number of different reasons. For people who really study programming, like I attempt to, there are a number of claims/myths/legends/tales that are commonly held about people who cut code for a living, such as: some programmers, the &#8220;alphas&#8221;, are as much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short thoughts on the riots.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, we decided to order pizza &#8211; we don&#8217;t do it often, it&#8217;s lazy but sort of a treat. However, out of the three local well-known places, only one was open: the other two had shut down early. Now, we don&#8217;t live in London per se, but Croydon (where there were major fires and [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenOffice.org ⇢ Apache</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many words have been expended on this situation. I don&#8217;t have an awful lot to add about the project side of things: I think it&#8217;s immensely sad that OpenOffice.org is being forked again (this is much more clearly a fork than LibreOffice was), but fundamentally all actors within the free software world are autonomous and [...]]]></description>

		<title>I voted in the Fedora 2011 elections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been an interesting election. I&#8217;ve talked about previous ones before, and to be honest this one has felt a little bit of a let-down. I do wish that there were more candidates on offer: while this isn&#8217;t a criticism of the quality of people standing, I think they tend to represent a relatively [...]]]></description>

		<title>Developing a &#8220;Fedora Welcome SIG&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a follow-up post to my previous one. I was really pleased with the feedback on my idea for Fedora Greeters, from both established Fedora community members and not. Equally, I got feedback offline as well &#8211; and I should make it clear right now that I&#8217;m more than happy to receive such communication; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fedora Greeters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching the Ubuntu &#8220;power users&#8221; group set up with enormous interest. Although Ubuntu has aimed squarely at being easy to use, I&#8217;ve never seen it as being particularly unfriendly toward power users, and the idea of needing a specific area in which people can talk about power user issues seems somewhat odd. However [...]]]></description>
