Will Woods' Fedora Junk

Hi. I'm Will. And this is a website! HOLY COW WELCOME TO THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY!!!!

[Update, 26 Sep 2025]: It has been 12 years since I last updated this page. I left Red Hat in 2021 and haven't worked on anything Fedora-related since then. I have some new stuff I'm hoping to share soon, but until then, please enjoy this time capsule from the year 2013.

What I work on

fedup - the Fedora upgrade tool (on github: fedup, fedup-dracut)
anaconda - the Fedora/RHEL installer
lorax - the tool/library for building installer images

Other stuff I work on

python-bugzilla - A python library for interacting with Bugzilla
plymouth-theme-hot-dog - HOT DOG NOW OR PERISH IN FLAMES

Some useful tidbits

kickstart.vim - vim syntax hilighting for kickstart.
- Install to ~/.vim/syntax/kickstart.vim and
  - :set syntax=kickstart or
  - put au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ks set filetype=kickstart in ~/.vim/ftdetect/kickstart.vim.

Old stuff I no longer work on:

autoqa - automated test system for Fedora
smolt - hardware profile gathering tool
SNAKE - kickstart-based automated installation tool
PreUpgrade - Prepare your Fedora system for an automatic upgrade (without burning CDs)
test bugzilla instance: partner-bugzilla.redhat.com
Rawhide dashboard (under development)
Old Apport junk: Feature proposal, test packages, bzr tree on launchpad
