FUDCon report from the Fedora Project Leader
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s been an exhausting but incredibly fulfilling couple of days thus far–and
| the BarCamp day on Saturday is sure to be just as solid. Just another few
| days in the whirlwind of community-powered goodness that we call the Fedora
| Project.

Exclusive Fedora Interview - With project leader, Paul W. Frields
,----[ Quote ]
| This year on May 13th, Fedora 9 was released into the wild. Dubbed Sulphur,
| it introduced for the first time in the history of Fedora, support for
| encrypted filesystem (implemented in the graphical installer), PackageKit as
| the default graphical package manager, ext4 filesystem support and
| PreUpgrade, a tool that offers you the possibility to upgrade an existing
| Fedora 7 or 8 distribution. Being classified as a "bleeding edge" distro, and
| that's ONLY because the developers wanted to inject the brand new edition of
| the Xserver software (version 1.5), which is not compatible yet with the
| major proprietary video drivers, Fedora 9 brings you Linux kernel 2.26.25.3,
| KDE 4.0.3, GNOME 2.22.1, NetworkManager 0.7 with improved support for mobile
| broadband, multiple devices and wireless networking, Cheese (the popular
| webcam capture tool), Firefox 3 Beta 5 and a lot more other new applications!

A New Goal for Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| With the commitment of the AllemaniACs and others from the Fedora community
| the Fedora Robotics SIG was recently founded. It aims to make Fedora fit to
| run on a variety of robots that run (possibly constrained) compatible
| machines and to use Fedora as a development platform for robots. As always in
| Fedora, this is a community effort and all help is greatly appreciated and
| welcomed.

Fedora on the Final Frontier
,----[ Quote ]
| There has been a long standing rumor regarding NASA running Fedora which all
| of us in the Fedora community have been always intrigued by. Is it true? What
| are they doing with it there? Why don't they run RHEL. Fortunately enough, a
| couple of weeks ago, I got to experience NASA behind the scenes, first hand,
| and hang out with the coolest members of the Fedora community, and find out
| the answer to these questions and lots more.

23,000 Linux PCs forge education revolution in Philippines
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing
| them for a technology-literate future, but in the Philippines many schools
| cannot afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful
| deployment of 13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are
| underway to roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
