-[[User:Mso|Martin Sourada]] chronicled<ref>http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/04/random-leonidas-goodies.html</ref> a few of the many features that can be expected with the upcoming Fedora 11 (Leonidas): Intel Kernel Mode Setting, faster boot times, better USB camera support, touchpad improvements (and a new tab within the Mouse Preferences applet), PackageKit interface updates, the use of <code>Presto</code> to shrink updates downloads (which could use some additional testing<ref>http://rawhidewatch.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/yum-presto-delta-rpm-support-needs-testing/</ref>, for anyone interested) and more. And with the release of the Synaptics 1.1 driver, [[Peter Hutterer|Peter Hutterer]] described<ref>http://who-t.blogspot.com/2009/04/synaptics-11-and-what-your-touchpad-can.html</ref> some of its new features, including additional details about multi-touch support.

-[[User:Skvidal|Seth Vidal]] analyzed<ref>http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/patches-per-src-rpm-in-fedora/</ref> the Source RPMS that make up various Fedora releases since F7 to find the average number of patches per RPM. Happily, the numbers have been slowly but steadily decreasing.

-[[SilasSewell|Silas Sewell]] demonstrated<ref>http://www.silassewell.com/blog/2009/04/22/funcshell-a-shell-interface-to-func/</ref> <code>funcshell</code> a new project to build a shell interface around <code>func</code> with all of the features expected of a shell including tab completion, persistent history and integrated help.
+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.
-[[User:Jwboyer|Josh Boyer]] mused<ref>http://jwboyer.livejournal.com/31668.html</ref> over "The updates conundrum" and the often larger than expected number of updates in released Fedora versions. "When I see a package update submitted that just takes a package to the latest upstream release, I always question it in my head (and sometimes in the update). I realize that upstream releases often fix bugs that effect users, however the update should say that at a minimum and it generally doesn't. Many times there is an update like this that seems to just be 'because it's the newest!'"

-[[LuisVilla|Luis Villa]] questioned<ref>http://tieguy.org/blog/2009/04/22/a-rumbling-about-x-qa/</ref> whether it might make sense to have a full-time QA person for Xorg with costs shared across some of the many contributor organizations.
-[[User:Fergatron|Marc Ferguson]] shared<ref>http://www.fergytech.com/2009/04/costello-buys-a-computer/</ref> an Abbot and Costello "Who's on First" parody in which Abbott attempts to purchase a computer from Costello.
-[[VenkateshHariharan|Venkatesh Hariharan]] wrote<ref>http://osindia.blogspot.com/2009/04/reaping-benefits-of-open-source.html</ref> an article that appeared in Network Computing's India edition, titled "Reaping the benefits of open source".
-[[User:Lkundrak|Lubomir Rintel]] scripted<ref>http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/blog/entries/bashrc.html</ref> a set of bash functions to automatically label terminal windows (and tabs).
