[[User:Jsmidt|Joseph Smidt]] requested<ref>http://californiaquantum.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/please-report-bugs-upstream/</ref> that all Linux distributions report bugs upstream:
[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.
"''Now, assuming each  major Linux distribution has hundreds of bugs where the bug triager knows it is an issue with upstream but fails to report it, if all these bugs would get reported I am sure an extra 100 bugs will get fixed over the next six months because of simple things like this.''"

"''I’m actually quite impressed by how simple the process is, and how helpful the resources are - however, my baseline for “easy process!” is “it’s better than several weeks of blindly trying to install Linux for the first time via stacks of floppies in 2001!” so just because it’s “good enough” doesn’t mean it’s as good as it could be.


How can we improve this experience?''"

[[DanWilliams|Dan Williams]] showed off<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/06/22/mobile-broadband-assistant-makes-it-easy/</ref> how easy it is to connect to a mobile broadband connection using NetworkManager. In a later post, he described<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/06/25/networkmanager-and-connman/</ref> the differences between NetworkManager and ConnMan.
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.

"''The web was built and exploded around the concept of open technology. Let’s continue to make sure this is the case going forward. The last thing we want is the web to become the domain of a few, with creativity being stifled by restrictions in the non-open parts of the stack.''"

While still in the early stages, there are 5 main goals: "''Centralization of Content, well scheduled, recurring and prepared content, design which is consistent with the philosophy of the Design team, standardized "official" feeds for distribution of different forms of content, mechanisms for localization and sharing the media with press or on social news sites.''"

[[MatthewGarrett|Matthew Garrett]] complained<ref>http://mjg59.livejournal.com/111853.html</ref> about the lack of openness at Intel. While some parts of the company seem committed to Linux and Open Source, other parts (notably EFI and Poulsbo) don't always integrate as nicely with Linux as some might prefer.
 
[[AdrianReber|Adrian Reber]] analyzed<ref>http://lisas.de/~adrian/?p=548</ref> the Fedora mirror server traffic, for the few days following the Leonidas release. Pretty graphs ensued.
 
[[User:Ashawley|Aaron S. Hawley]] compared<ref>http://aaronhawley.livejournal.com/24759.html</ref> cars to software (though he is certainly not the first to do so) by quoting a post that described the ability to take apart, modify and maintain one's own car, despite the fact that when it comes to software, often that ability is missing.
 
[[DaveMalcolm|Dave Malcolm]] wondered<ref>http://dmalcolm.livejournal.com/3271.html</ref> where the word "codebase" came from.
 
[[JoshuaWulf|Joshua Wulf]] wrote<ref>http://fossdocs.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/neologisms-and-localization/</ref> about the challenges involved with "Neologisms and Localization". Is "Parameterized" a word?
 
[[JamesMorris|James Morris]] described<ref>http://james-morris.livejournal.com/42541.html</ref> some of the upcoming changes to the security subsystem in kernel 2.6.30.
