Fedora Daily Package Weekly Video Summary (#2)

Here is the second Fedora Daily Package Weekly Video Summary. I'm having some ongoing problems with sound sync and I'm still looking for a good Ogg Theora video editing program -- if you've heard of one, please let me know (bonus if it's packaged for Fedora!).

The video is also available in Ogg Theora format courtesy of Thomas Chung.

Maybe it would have been a good idea to mention that
"ssh -X localhost" would let you to see the zenity dialog?

I would have -- but I didn't want to muddy the distinction between a login and a session. I would have preferred to demonstrate the text-based login on a character-mode virtual terminal, but I couldn't due to the limitations of screencasting.

Thanks a lot for putting the application names before presenting them.

I'm just wondering, how do you choose the packages you present ?

"how do you choose the packages you present?" --> Great question. It's pretty much on whim! I want to present a good mix of packages, so I use the daily themes to help with that, and I try to present a mix of GNOME and KDE, command-line and GUI, server and desktop. I include packages I know, packages that I hear about on the Fedora lists, and packages that I see browsing the repositories.

The "Suggest a Package" box (on the right) is helpful, but I don't get a lot of suggestions there (and I sometimes get ones I don't understand, or packages which I can't easily cover, without contact info). So if you have ideas, by all means, please send 'em in!
