The GNOME 2.20 Live images are all available now, come check them out at http://torrent.gnome.org. This time around I cut out the VMWare ESX and Xen domU images, just no real demand for them. So if anyone has a specific need for them please let me know.

Live images available as VMWare, QEMU/Parallels, and Live CD.

New Foresight and GNOME releases on International Talk Like a Pirate Day — how much fun is that! I am very pleased to announce Foresight 1.4 with GNOME 2.20. In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, we are featuring two versions of the release notes for your enjoyment:

Sri and I met up for the Sun Party at OSCON back in July. Here is a picture (crap quality, sorry) of him in the big wheel races… I wish I could say he was the big winner 🙂

Me pushing Sri in a race.

Clearly Sri’s big wheel is pink.

I really enjoyed getting to spend some time with the folks from MUG last night. Such hospitality, we were really treated so well, even had a limo driver provided (thanks Jim!). Thanks so much for having us.

For anyone looking for the slides we used in the presentation, you can get them here http://people.rpath.com/~johnsonm/mug2007/

Anyone in the Detroit metro area? Michael K Johnson and I are heading up to the Detroit area to talk about building appliances for the Michigan!/usr/group. We will be discussing software appliances, conary packaging, release management, and so much more. Come out and say hi, and we welcome lots of Q and A afterwards.

A fun part of the trip will be flying Air Johnson.

I updated the VMWare image a little and published some other image types. I am quite pleased with 2.19.92 and definately think 2.20 will prove to be a great release. Keep up the good work!

VMWare

QEMU/Parallels

LiveCD

I haven’t added it to the torrent yet, but if folks want to play around with a vmware image of 2.19.92, check it out here. I will work on getting the livecd and other image types done soon.

I haven’t tested it much yet, so please do leave me feedback.

Enjoy!

I didn’t make it last year, but I heard it was a blast. So I wouldn’t dream of missing the Ohio Linux Fest this year. It is Sept. 29th in Columbus, Ohio.

Kevin Harriss is heading up the Foresight booth, which will be surrounded by other desktop related booths. We will have four booths in a big square, called the Linux Desktop Corner including, Foresight, GNOME, Fedora, and Ubuntu Ohio. I even hear Kevin will be sporting a green mohawk, let’s see if he really follows through with that 🙂

I will also be giving a talk about conary/rBuilder on the vendor stage, come say hi!
