[[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] asked<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/the-one-where-the-designers-ask-for-a-pony/</ref> for a pony but really it was about "how us designers could continue to collaborate after the (London UX) hackfest was over. This has been a recurring issue, as us designers meet every year or so, at GUADEC, at UX hackfests, or at GNOME Boston Summits (or even other FLOSS events like LinuxTag) and we get some great collaborate work done during the events – but it peters off after we get settled in back home after the events." One other post from the hackfest was about a presentation<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/charlines-icon-usability-study/</ref> on an icon usability study.

[[MichaelTiemann|Michael Tiemann]] explained<ref>http://opensource.org/node/511</ref> why the IIPA's position toward Open Source is problematic and wrong. "The entire position taken by IIPA is unbalanced. It relies on outdated definitions, special interests and a fear of innovation and new business model opportunities. It blends them together to abuse an outdated mechanism of the US government with a condemnation that applies to the US itself."
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:Kanarip|Jeroen van Meeuwen]] experimented<ref>http://www.kanarip.com/node/1430</ref> with rebuilding all of Enterprise Linus, including updates and Extras "in order to learn from it and take away a couple of notes on the subject". Find out what Jeroen learned.
