--- Fedora 17 Release Naming: Nominations are now open! ---
Fedora Project Leader, Jared K. Smith [1] on Tue Sep 13 13:49:39 UTC 2011 announced[2][3]
the Fedora 17 Release Naming. The details of the report is follows:
"It is once again time to choose the release name for the next Fedora release.
Potential names will be accepted for consideration beginning September 13th (in other
words, NOW) through September 20. Please submit your best ideas to the Fedora wiki at the
address below:
[4]
Please note that you *must* follow the instructions and guidelines at the page listed
above if you want your name to be considered. For instance, there must be an
"is-a" link between the name Verne (from Fedora 16) and the name you suggest.
That link must be different than previous links for Fedora release names. Also, we ask
that you please conduct the required searches for brand and trademark names that might
cause us problems.
Read the full guidelines at the wiki page listed above, where you can also find full
schedule details for the release naming process.
For those of you interested in reviewing the history of Fedora release names, there is an
appropriately named wiki page for doing so at [5]
Please try to pick a name that is fun and creative. Don't delay... do it today! We all
want an awesome name for Fedora 17!"

--- [Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines ---
Tom Callaway[1] on Thu Sep 22 17:06:51 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"The section of the Packaging Guidelines regarding Compiler Flags has been updated
and improved, most notably, to document handling of PIE enabled packages.
[3]
The prohibition against unnecessary explicit library requires has been updated with an
example of when explicit library requires are useful and allowed. The example addresses
packages that use features of a library added after the library initially adopted its
current SONAME.
[4]
An additional md5 implementation was added to the list of bundling exceptions:
[5]
These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC).
Many thanks to Kevin Fenzi, Adam Jackson, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting
in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.
As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something
missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure
for this is documented here: [6]
Thanks"

--- Fedora Events ---
The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify
responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by
region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning. Events can be
added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner
are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of
the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the
exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people
around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or
volunteering near you!
Upcoming Events (September - December 2011)

--- Which Linux Distro Leads the Pack? (linuxinsider.com) ---
Robert Jensen forwarded[1] a posting including Fedora 16 Alpha KDE and GNOME 3
screenshots:
"...how do Linux bloggers have fun? That's right, by engaging in a little
high-spirited debate -- not of some weighty, industry-changing subject this time, though,
but of a matter very close to all of our hearts. It's time, in other words, to ask the
question once again: Which distro is best?
It is with deepest gratitude to the ever-awesome geeks over at TuxRadar that Linux Girl
calls your attention, dear readers, to a wonderfully thorough side-by-side comparison they
recently performed on six of today's most popular Linux distributions: Fedora, Mint,
Arch, Ubuntu, Debian and OpenSUSE.
Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza took issue with TuxRadar's inclusion of Fedora.
"Putting Fedora at the top of a 'best distributions' list is like putting a
prototype car at the top of a list of cars to buy this year," Espinoza told Linux
Girl.
"Fedora is the alpha test version for RHEL," he explained. "They break
things there first. You'd have to be a nut to run it on a production system (though
apparently, many people do) because the entire purpose of Fedora is to permit Red Hat
(NYSE: RHT) to try new things and break stuff."
Discussion on the Fedora marketing list continued, wondering when the mis-perception that
Fedora is primarily a development path for Red Hat Enterprise Linux would end[2][3]
