Sadly for Microsoft and Apple, Fedora is ahead of them, but it needs wider
recognition (maybe a different default theme too).

SCALE 7x: Clint Savage of the Fedora Project on Spinning Your Own Linux LiveCD
,----[ Quote ]
| Clint Savage, West Regional Ambassador for North America, joined the
| FedoraProject.org, gave a talk at SCALE this year on how to spin your own
| custom version of Fedora and create a livecd or bootable USB image using open
| source tools.
|
| Here is an excerpt from the original abstract from Clint’s SCALE Speaker Web
| Page:
|
| Fedora offers a complete set of tools for generating your own customized
| distribution. The output format can be installable CDs or DVDs, or Live
| images suitable for CD/DVD or USB keys. These tools allow sub-communities to
| consume and contribute to FOSS using a platform that is geared toward their
| specific needs.

Fedora 11 Will Have An Incredible Number Of New Features
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 10, an amazing Fedora release in its own right, had 28 approved
| features. Fedora 9 had 30 and Fedora 8 had 21.
|
| As of writing this Fedora 11 has 51 which have already been approved, plus
| another 9 waiting to be approved any day now. That means in the end there
| should be ~60 approved features which make it into Fedora 11! This doesn’t
| even count the work going into external things such as overhauling the
| documentation or the community work going into the Moksha project.

Fedora 10 regains Linux fans
,----[ Quote ]
| I know personally, I'm been very impressed by Fedora 10. This edition of
| Fedora is the first one in years to have won a long-term place on my Linux
| desktop line-up in my office/lab. While I have over two-dozen computers that
| I use for evaluations, that still isn't enough. So I only keep operating
| systems around that I think are either truly useful or matter to many users.
| Fedora makes it on both accounts.
|
| I suspect too that Red Hat, which is re-entering the Linux desktop market,
| has been working hard to improve Fedora as a desktop system for the last few
| months. From where I sit, it's certainly Red Hat's best desktop in years.

| In January, a whole slew of Red Hat engineers and Fedora Project volunteers

| initiatives. Contributors including QA experts, marketing gurus, community
| managers, and our friends from the One Laptop Per Child project all came
| together. They presented new ideas at technical talks, worked on tasks, and
| most of all had fun in the brilliant, vibrant atmosphere that defines Fedora.
| If you weren’t able to make it, here’s a chance for you to see what you
| missed. Get a taste for how FUDCon works and the excitement it generates for

Fedora 11 release schedule set
,----[ Quote ]
| At today's FESCo meeting, the final schedule for Fedora 11 was
| approved. Now it's time for some reminders about the feature process
| for Fedora 11. We're changing a few things this time around to
| hopefully make the whole process run smoother than ever!
|
| First., FESCo will be making decisions regarding dropping incomplete
| features at the meeting *2 weeks before* the freeze date, in order to
| give rel-eng and QA time to implement whatever contingency plans might
| be required prior to the freeze. For Fedora 11, these dates are:
|
| Alpha freeze: 1/20 - FESCo meeting - 1/8
| Beta Freeze: 3/10 - FESCo meeting - 2/25
| Final Freeze: 4/14 - FESCo meeting - 4/1

| DeviceKit integration, improved volume controls, Windows cross-compiler
| support, Presto plug-in integration, and simple support for setting up a
