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. Blog at http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/15700.html

Yeah - I believe he's planning on it going up this weekend :) I think it's a really good interview too!
Thanks for the list below too, does anybody else feel like picking up any of these? Perhaps if people do they could claim ownership in this thread and then we can get questions and answers for as many of them together as soon as possible. That way all that's left is to push them to the wiki each time we want to publish.
I'm more than willing to help anybody with anything they need, and I'm sure others can offer tips and advice too...
The only two I'll take for definite is swfdec and FreeIPA - I've been in touch with the feature owners about it already and they're on their way (swfdec depending on board's decision to include or not - should be anytime now).
Best wishes,
Jon

If someone is doing a GDM interview I recommend this as a starting point: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2008-February/msg00042.h...
I see it as a perfect demonstration about how Fedora is leading innovation.
Guys,
Any news about the interviews below? I wanna talk about Anaconda in the next one, I need to know if someone is covering this issue.
Cheers,
Rodrigo Menezes

I don't think anybody else is working on this now. So feel free to move ahead. Please post questions to the list before sending them off to the Anaconda team if possible.

How about an interview with Jeremy about what's new with LiveUSB? It's one of the most popular/differentiating features of Fedora.
My apologies if this was already considered elsewhere and I missed it.
The big thing being having your changes persist with the live images (http://katzj.livejournal.com/419158.html and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LivePersistence)

Not to mention the resizing and encrypting functions. Sweet!
