We often get inquiries from magazines asking for permission to bundle one
or more Fedora discs with a future issue. This is a fairly routine
process as long as the disc is an unmodified copy of Fedora media (i.e. an
official release). Some interaction with Red Hat Legal is required to
send out an agreement to the magazine.
We can speed up that interaction and the overall process if we have a page
that tells magazines what they need to provide, and to whom, for a
covermount agreement. Generally we need the following information, sent
to the ''press(a)fp.o'' address:
* The name (d/b/a) and address of the company producing the magazine
* The exact disc(s) that are to be bundled
* Contact information for the person making the request

I had suggested this earlier to Robyn -- a press blog entry for Red Hat's
PR channel (http://press.redhat.com) that would synopsize and point to our
interview on the wiki. However, Robyn's pretty busy right now. Kara
Schiltz from Red Hat's PR department is willing to publish something next
week.
I'm going to pick this up and drive it forward, my way of helping this
week on something Marketing related!

[In the news] Good times with Fedora Linux upgrades
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/the-open-source-revolution-10014902/good-tim...
"I've found that upgrading from version to version of Fedora is quite
easy in fact. And one bonus is that all of the software on the system is
automatically upgraded to the latest version which includes the latest
bugfixes, etc. Sure, running software updates on the existing
distribution running on the system will work, too, but updates are no
longer released for a particular version of Fedora about 13 months after
it is initially released. While this sounds bad, it really isn't. The
upgrade process for Fedora is as simple as inserting the CD (or flash
drive), selecting "upgrade" at the main menu, and following a few simple
steps. What you end up with is a system that is totally up to date and
refreshed with all of the latest RPM packages, while all data is
completely retained. What is more of a pleasant surprise with Fedora
upgrades is that all files and settings are completely retained for most
if not ALL software on the system because Linux stores everything in the
user's profile folder."

[In the news] Fedora 15 (Lovelock) Released
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/jamies-mostly-linux-stuff-10006480/fedora-15...
"Whew. That was longer than I had intended it to be, but I suppose with
a release which makes changes of this magnitude it is to be expected. My
personal summary is that Gnome 3 seems pretty nice, and I have made a
lot more progress in adjusting and adapting to it, and actually starting
to like it in a relatively short time than I ever have made with Ubuntu
Unity. I think for Fedora loyalists this will be an excellent new
release, if they are willing and able to accept Gnome 3; the same is
probably true of those who are new to Fedora but at least have supported
hardware."

[In the news] Linux Fans Say Fedora 15 Is Too Easy To Use
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.itproportal.com/2011/05/26/linux-fans-say-fedora-15-too-easy-use/
"Apart from the new Gnome 3 desktop, another noticeable feature on the
platform is the systemd configuration. Systemd replaces SysVinit and
Upstart for system and session management and brings a faster boot
experience. The Fedora Project has added a cloud based BoxGrinder
appliance builder tool to the platform to aid developers. Fedora 15
also comes with Linux 2.6.38, the SystemD configuration utility and a
new firewall system. Fedora 15 will also come with a range of new
applications including LibreOffice and Mozilla Firefox 4 so that it has
greater out-of-the-box functionality."

[In the news] GNOME 3 on Fedora 15
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://blog.randell.ph/2011/05/29/gnome-3-on-fedora-15/
"I’ve just installed Fedora 15, and one of the things that surprised me
was GNOME 3. I knew from the release notes that GNOME was coming to
Fedora 15, but I didn’t bother looking at the details nor at the larger
versions of screenshots. I knew that GNOME 3 was going to be better than
the older versions, but never thought that it was this good."

[In the news] Guest session and user management on Fedora 15
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Covering a new feature in the installer the allows the user to add
themselves to the administrator group to setup sudo by default. This
group also adjust the PolicyKit settings
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/26/guest-session-and-user-management-on...
"User management on Fedora 15 is just as easy as on any other
distribution or operating system. And the graphical user management
tools (there are two) are very intuitive to use. There are two types of
user accounts on Fedora 15 – Standard and Administrator. The
Administrator has root or super user privileges. During installation,
the user created may be added to the Administrators group. A user in
this group can execute all commands using sudo"
