+[[user:kishan|Kishan Goyal]] posted on his experience on day 2 at FudCon Pune<ref>http://kishangoyal.co.cc/post/12549697509/fudcon-pune-11-day-2</ref>.
-[[JanWildeboer|Jan Wildeboer]] announced<ref>http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2010/04/14/icedtea6-1-8-release/</ref> the availability of IcedTea6-1.8 with many bugfixes and feature enhancements.
+[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.
-[[ColinWalters|Colin Walters]] attended<ref>http://blog.verbum.org/2010/04/14/pygtk-performing-engine-maintenance-while-the-car-is-running/</ref> a PyGTK hackfest. "There are two major orthogonal changes happening simultaneously..." Python 3 and Introspection. [[DaveMalcolm|Dave Malcolm]] had more to say<ref>http://dmalcolm.livejournal.com/5240.html</ref> on the introspection front. "In the old GTK approach to binding native libraries for use by other language runtimes (such as Python's), a .defs file provided metadata on the API, which had to be kept in-sync with the code...In the new approach, "gobject-introspection" defines a simple textual format for source-code comments, containing similar information to a .defs file, but (I hope) rich enough to handle more of the special cases. This is scraped from the source into an XML file (e.g. Foo.gir), then compiled into an efficient binary format (e.g. Foo.typelib) which can be mapped into memory at runtime using a library (libgirepository.so)."
+[[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.
-[[User:Poelstra|John Poelstra]] posted<ref>http://poelcat.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/shipping-fedora-on-time/</ref> suggestions for the Fedora release schedule. "We need to accept that unforeseen regressions and late changes have consequences.  Slipping the full Fedora release schedule when we don’t meet our release criteria is a good way to show that and maintain a baseline of quality for our releases.  Working backwards from important milestones and starting earlier is how we ship on time...If we really want our releases to be on time we must give interim milestones and tasks just as much value as the big ones..."
+[[user:suchakra|Suchakra]] also blogged on Fudcon Pune<ref>http://suchakra.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/fudcon%e2%86%94funcon-pune-2011/</ref>.
-[[User:Kwade|Karsten Wade]] announced<ref>http://iquaid.org/2010/04/14/more-time-for-fedora-summer-coding-schedule-moved-back-a-month/</ref> that the Fedora Summer Coding schedule has been moved back a month in order to provide more time to prepare.
+[[user:kushal|Kushal Das]] posted photos<ref>http://kushaldas.in/2011/11/10/photoset-from-fudcon-pune-2011/</ref> of the event to his blog.
+===Fedora Community===
-[[DanWilliams|Dan Williams]]  examined<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2010/04/15/mobile-broadband-and-qualcomm-proprietary-protocols/</ref> the "two major mobile broadband technology families: GSM/UMTS (which three quarters of the world uses) and CDMA/EVDO (used by the rest)." The rest of the post outlines the progress in making various broadband chips work under Linux and why  you should "buy Sierra stuff.  It’s top quality and they actually care about open-source...And guess what?  They actually listened, did the work, and put the documentation under a Creative Commons license too."
+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:Moixs|Steven Moix]] explained<ref>http://www.alphatek.info/2010/04/18/gnome-usability-tip-show-the-desktop/</ref> how to show the desktop (hiding all applications) now that the "Show Desktop" button has disappeared from Fedora 12.
+[[user:jjmartinez|Juanjo Martinez]] blogged on his first impressions of F16, calling it an "impressive release"<ref>http://engbblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/welcome-fedora-16/</ref>.
-[[User:Rjones|Richard W.M. Jones]] ordered<ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/ordnance-survey-opendata/</ref> some of the newly-opened Ordinance Survey (UK) datasets. " The format is really open — TIFF for the maps, and CSV files for most of the other data. Full marks to the OS for releasing this under a CC-compatible license."
+===General===
-[[User:Jjmartinez|Juan J. Martínez]] answered<ref>http://rambleon.usebox.net/post/533515447/why-my-bug-isnt-being-fixed</ref> why your bug isn't being fixed. But also what you can do to help the process along.
+[[User:adamwill|Adam Williamson]] posted about <ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/11/10/stupid-fedora-tricks/</ref>starting work on Fedora 17, and experimentation with the new kernel in a virtualized environment.
