Hi
I see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/EricSandeen done by
Rodrigo Menezes. It seems complete though he hasn't announced it himself.
What's left?
------------
FreeIPA - really unique and we are leading this effort that probably
will help solve one of the major admin pain point
Presto is in limbo for now. So we can skip it
Jidgo - Should cover if we are getting this as one of the alternative
distribution methods for Fedora 9. Cover pyjidgo and whatever new
features we are driving. Some discussions at
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/jigdo-user/2007-November/000113.html
PreUpgrade - Should be really interesting to cover
Anaconda - Very visible changes.Interview the entire Anaconda team.
Partition resizing support, Encryption support, netinst.iso that
combines boot.iso and rescue.iso, lots of other backend work
Display - Adam Jackson is release guy for the next upstream release and
scheduled it around Fedora 9. Should cover Fast X, RandR and probably
Soeren's work covered to some extend in
http://www.j5live.com/2008/01/30/j5-live-vlog-soeren-talks-about-projectors…
Virtualization - Lot of major work esp xen on paravirt_ops. Look up a
lot of blogs including
http://berrange.com/personal/diary/2007/11/plan-for-xen-kernels-in-fedora-9
Get in touch with Daniel Berrange. He would know who else we can
interview on this. Ask about Ovirt, virtual appliance creator, policy
kit integration with virt manager, virtual storage, virt kernel boot etc.
LTSP integration - Very high profile. Interview Warren and Eric.
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/jigdo-user/2007-November/000113.html
Upstart - Probably the first time, we had a very core feature be mostly
community driven. Need to cover the FUDCon decision bits too. Not too
interesting technically since we no distribution is actually taking
advantage of upstart features yet and will be running under sysvinit
compatibility mode.
GDM, Gvfs, GCC 4.3 - Fedora is driving upstream. Backend stuff though
except for GDM. We will be early adopters so might be good to cover GDM
first.
Swfdec - Consult with desktop team and interview upstream too if we are
getting this installed by default
SELinux user space confinement - Not in the feature list but this is a
interesting feature neverthless and deserves to be highlighted better.

Part of Michael Tiemann's "Fedora in the Enterprise" speech from FUDCon
Raleigh 2008 is now available in Ogg Theora format on the Fedora torrent
site:
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/fudcon-raleigh-2008-tiemann-trunc…
Unfortunately, some scheduling and technical conflicts meant we couldn't
capture the entire speech, but only the first 15 minutes. We're sorry
for the inconvenience, and hope you enjoy the segment we were able to
provide.

well i was just searching for some tips/tutorials/guides on the internet and
i found this site-> http://www.fedoramd.org/
It happens to have almost the same content of fp.o site but doest seem to be
a official website, my concern is that if it is not
official it doesnt specify, and due to it being so like fp.o it could have
content that might damage the ideas of fedora project
Recently under discussion on f-a-b is the idea of creating a
million-node compute grid using Condor and other tools. This might
include, for example, the ability to join the grid during firstboot.
Catch up on that thread here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2008-March/msg00022.ht…
We are suffering from a cool name; we are in danger of calling it
"Fedora@Home" in the meantime, and with one pick-up of that name in
Fedora Weekly News, someone is going to come pressing trademark rights.
Shall we declare it a codename in seek of a replacement?
What this thing is:
* A cool piece of technology with a grid client and Fedora-run grid
master
* A way to contribute to Fedora with spare CPU cycles from your
machine(s); useful for everyone from Web surfing grandmas to kernel
hackers with quad-cores
* A chance to create something that Fedorans can use for good projects:
- Distributed build-system
- Social and technical causes that match with Fedora values/ideals
- Cool research
It's some kind of convergence, which is why it needs a cool name, right?

Special Interest Group (or anyone else) to get a spin approved, but such
things always have a start somewhere."

Hi,
http://www.fanaticattack.com/2008/creative-commons-releases-free-contentsof…
"Live Content is a great compilation of open source content. If you’re
new to open source and want to explore the new possibilities available
to you outside of proprietary software and mainstream media, as well as
the concepts underpinning the free source movement, Live Content
definitely serves it up in one convenient package. The beauty of the
Live DVD allows you to take your operating system with you. Just bring
your thumb drive with you so you can save whatever you create."
