Reworking design suite livemedia

After taking maintainer-ship, the challenge is much bigger than expected with outdated information on the wiki and unmaintained ks file for a long time. Worse is the current spin on Fedora 18 has broken login authentication which I did not have a chance to test it.

Learning from these lessons, here is some high goals:

  • Rewrite the entire wiki of Design Suite.
  • Select new default packages.
  • Include fonts used by Fedora Design Team.
  • Rework the entire ks file using desktop media(Gnome Shell) as a base.
  • Increase the maximum size of livemedia to 4GB.

Sun's promise to open source Java vs GCJ

According to this Press Release via OS News , it appears Sun Microsystems allow the redistribution of their Java development for Linux distributions under a new license called Operation System Distributor's License for Java or in short "Distro License for Java". Currently, only binaries are licensed as the source code is not available for the public although SUN promise to open source Java . I wonder if that announcement will affect the whole GCJ on which Fedora Project is focusing.
