[[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] pointed out<ref>http://blog.melchua.com/2010/05/25/paul-frields-on-opensource-com/</ref> an interview with [[User:Pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] on opensource.com<ref>http://opensource.com/life/10/5/paul-frields-leadership-trust-fail-early-and-often</ref>. "I firmly believe that open source principles can help combat what I see as a growing problem: local apathy. Apathy comes from feeling you don’t have a voice or a way of making change, while open source makes the opposite possible… two important and connected tenets of the open source way are (1) not letting the possibility of failure get in the way of doing something potentially great, and (2) recognizing when you’ve failed so you can learn from it and move on."
The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users.
