| Back in [[FWN/Issue241|FWN Issue 241]], there was an across-the-Planet(-Fedora) discussion about ways that Fedora could be improved, and the posts are still continuing. [[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] started<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/a-story-about-updates-and-people/</ref> the discussion with the tales of four typical personas that may use Fedora. [[User:Jcm|Jon Masters]], who was the one that originally had kicked off the series of posts and added<ref>http://www.jonmasters.org/blog/2010/09/01/on-updates-and-people/</ref> some more thoughts, specifically about one of the personas. "Caroline is the kind of person who is accurately described in the current User base documents on the Fedora Project wiki. She is also represented in a lot of the cosmetic GUIness we see in distributions like Fedora – graphical package updates and configuration, removal of advanced options, the general direction of the GNOME desktop, and so forth." Though not everyone is a Caroline. "What I want to see is a fundamental shift toward having a stable 'Platform'..." Máirín<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/sweet-caroline/</ref> and Jon<ref>http://www.jonmasters.org/blog/2010/09/02/what-i-want-from-computer/</ref> further clarified themselves, before a few other people jumped in too.

All of the posts were well-mannered, and will hopefully serve to bring about an even better Fedora.. | | [[user:izhar|Izhar Firdaus]] wrote about his experience<ref>http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ShadowLogs%2FFedora+%28%3A%3A+Shadow+Logs%3A%3A+Fedora%29#!/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011.html</ref> at FudCon, as well as some thoughts on the atmosphere of the event. |

There have been some small technical/legal complications, but it should see the light of day soon. Mel requests that if you are "a marketing student looking for a project so you can try out some of the things you've been learning about brand positioning, or someone with an interest in learning about trademark issues, or you have an interest in design and usability and have started to play around with graphics in your spare time", get in touch and you can help out.
