Blender talk by JulianVega


On Flisol official Date April 23 we celebrated it at the Universidad Interamericana de Panama  thanks for hosting it. While we did not have the normal attendance for this event  we have really interested crowd. Must interesting part of the crowd was to have 2 people interested on becoming Fedora packagers, both of them starting working to archive that task. Another interesting development was to meet a group of students who want to contribute with some software development and design for our local group Floss-pa, plus others who  wanted to contribute on organization and learn more about free software.


Special thanks to Gonzalo Nina who soon will become a packager and full Fedora Panama contributor.

So it was a good event with many things to learn and do.

Thanks to the people who work to make it possible and we hope to have new contributors doing some task on Fedora.

 

Wanted to try Wayland, since the beginning and been testing it from time to time, first when Fedora 23 was released, then some of my normal applications will crash at launch so it was no Wayland.

After reading there was no go for Wayland for the coming Fedora 24 decided to try it again, to my surprise this time all my apps run and response was good, so try it for a week to see if I can live with it for that time.

Found some issues, while not sure why, the copy and paste between some programs it is not quite working, most important to me was the gnome-terminal keyboard shorcuts for copy and paste did not work have to use mouse to do copy and paste while it is annoying, I could live with that, so keep playing with it for my daily task basically all other stuff normal.

But notice two big issues, on my normal day, my notebook has an external monitor so I'm on dual headed, first day started to work with Wayland did not notice it because started the notebook with the secundary monitor connected and everything works fine.

Then another day started my notebook outside of my desk and when arrive to my desk connected the secondary display it show as normal except that the applications on the secundary display have some issues with the mouse, once I click on the nothing happen then notice that all clicks was done on the application on my main display even do the mouse pointer was on the secondary display. So humm, solved by going into the control panel and switch primary display, that solve the issue.

What did not work for me and the more annoying bug was that some times I have to grab my notebook and move some place else to work, so disconnect secondary display and go to other room with all my gnome session and applications open so I can continue working, but not in Wayland, as son as disconnect the display gnome session shut down and all applications close, so found my no go Wayland while that can be manage by turning of the seconday display on control panel.

So, while appreciated the effort done on Wayland, it was the right call to delay it for Fedora 25. Wayland is not there for normal users yeat. But it is working better that before. Will run another try when Fedora 24 is release and later on.

 

Have been trying to remember the year and month of when started using Fedora as my main desktop, do remember was tired of fighting with Windows XP and its eating memory while trying to code on my work back them, my guess is it was around 2005 or 2006, before that  used Linux on servers and a dual boot but must of my time was on Windows.

What I'm sure when desided to do it was for good and it was so more fun that become a Fedora contributor, getting use to use only Fedora on my machine was interesting, basically all things that I needed work right with no issue with only exception of the meeting tool we use at work did not support Linux, with luck my co workers then decide to use another tool so it was not an issue any more.

With time have learn more and have installed or upgraded Fedora on every new release, no missing Windows at all. It has been also nice how Fedora has also change with time and how have to learn and get use to things like Gnome3 which was kind of challanging at the begining.

It is nice to see how Fedora is getting better, my wife use it now, with her issues as she is a mom user and my son who had trouble as he did not get a Windows machine for some of his courses, but we manage to get by on a school that promote and teach only MS software, not much I could do there.

Home tech support pass from once a week checking for antivirus updates and some other stuff to once every six month update to the next Fedora version. There is no need for a Windows box on my house and really enjoy Fedora. So to all of you working on getting Fedora better thanks.
