Hello all, I'm a new guy here, but I've been using Fedora since about 3.0, and used Red Hat Linux from around 5.2. I'm a big fan. I have it installed on a tower at home, and on my main laptop that I use for work every day, a Lenovo ThinkPad T60. Obviously, I think it's pretty good to use it every day, but there are some things that drive me crazy about it, and I'd like to help make those problems go away for everyone else. Is this the right place to help with the overall system, even though the issues I'm having are related to specific hardware? I'm having issues with video drivers (open source and proprietary), audio drivers (on a ThinkPad 600X, alsa bug 305, FWIW); but also the default battery and configuration settings are not very good, causing shortened battery run-time and battery life, especially for the secondary battery. What's the best way to help make sure Fedora becomes even more awesome on these machines? I am a software developer by trade, and I have written very low-level assembly and C code, just not for Linux. I'm happy to learn but don't have a ton of free time. I'd like to find one or more mentors who will instruct me on the best ways to nudge developers and maintainers of existing projects, but getting the latest software, building, testing and reporting. How do I start? Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ Fedora-laptop-list mailing list Fedora-laptop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-laptop-list
