These are the Talking Points for the Fedora 14 release. For information on how these talking points were chosen, see Talking Points SOP. They are intended to help Ambassadors quickly present an overview of highlighted features when talking about the release.
The talking points are based in part on the features for this release. Any Fedora community member can introduce a feature, using our feature process.
For desktop users and everyone
Things of general interest to most people using Fedora.

(Since GNOME 3.0 was rescheduled for March 2011, I think we can remove this Talking Point http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/2010-07-gnome-3.0-rescheduled.html - by Rodrigo Padula )

Feature summarized talking point.
Systemd
It allows to defer the start of daemons until the deamon is needed for accepting an incomming network connection. It is also able to manage file system tasks. Using control groups (a Linux feature) it allows to handle all processes related to a particular feature together. In the future it will also act as session manager. It will speed up boot, but more work is needed to reap the full benefits.
No manual ordering of features is needed, the kernel does the ordering automatically.
On-demand starting of services and activation of features.
For developers
Innovations that make Fedora a great platform for software developers.
