Okay....I have a working Fedora account. I've asked about Python books. I've taken a peek at the git web page. I've subscribed to cobbler-devel and even looked at a patch that Pete Wright submitted in support of Ubuntu. I think I can get on #cobbler-devel. And in a few minutes I'm going to go off and do my first cobbler-based install of Fedora.
My next question is, for next week, are we going to agree to use a particular cobbler source code tree and apply all patches for the week to that tree? In other words, which cobbler source tree should I download or get from git for next week's events?
