As many folks already know, Flock was in Cape Cod for 2017 and the format this year was a bit different than previous years - the emphasis was more on "doing" than focusing on talking about what had been done and what's planned for the upcoming...
I've gotten several questions in the last few weeks about Taskotron and how it compares to Jenkins. With the rate at which I'm getting that I'm getting these questions, it's a topic well worth exploring. Unfortunately, "How does Taskotron compare...
I wanted to watch the Fedora Council meeting earlier today but ran into problems on all of my machines due to how the video hangouts work - you pretty much have to install Google Chrome (edit: removed part about Chromium as a possible alternative...
