Fedora 9 Rawhide
,----[ Quote ]
| The beta release of Fedora 9 has been pushed back another week to March 20,
| because of stability issues, but to see the progress made by the Fedora / Red
| Hat developers we did a clean Rawhide installation. Some of the features that
| have been shaping up well for Fedora 9 include EXT4 file-system support,
| encrypted file-system support, Firefox 3.0 integration, GCC 4.3 support,
| enhanced NetworkManager capabilities with "out of the box" support mobile
| broadband (GSM/CDMA) devices, inclusion of PackageKit, and Upstart replacing
| SysVinit. Some of the packages currently making up Fedora 9 include GNOME
| 2.21.92, Linux 2.6.25 RC, X Server 1.5.0 RC 0, and OpenOffice.org 2.4.0. For
| your viewing pleasure, here are a few screenshots of the latest Fedora 9
| Rawhide code as of today.

New Fedora Chair plans to remove obstacles for volunteers
,----[ Quote ]
| "The job is to remove obstacles in the way of the community," says Paul W.
| Frields, speaking about his new position as Fedora Chair. After only a few
| weeks in the position, Frields is still learning his way around and getting
| to know his colleagues, but already this vision is a common refrain in his
| comments, underlying all his comments about what he hopes the Fedora project
| will achieve while he is coordinating its efforts.

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.

| 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.
