Planet Fedora

In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora^[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.

We haven't had a regular Planet Fedora beat for about six weeks, so I thought I'd provide some coverage this week. If anyone is interested in helping with the Planet Fedora beat, please let us know on the Fedora News Team list (news@lists.fedoraproject.org).

Events

FUDCon Tempe 2011

There have been a lot of posts around FUDCon Tempe that took place two weeks ago. Here are the ones from the last few days.

Chris Lalancette provided a couple posts^[1]^[2] providing summaries of the sessions he attended, including talks on Asterisk Hacks, Matahari, GIMP as a Pro Photo Editing Tool, and more.

Juan Rodriguez blogged about the Fedora Trademarks session^[3] and Red Hat Legal^[4] discussion he attended, as well as Mel and Sebastian's "I'd like to continue hacking, but my hands hurt"^[5].

Dave Malcolm posted^[6] about his talk on "Different species of Python"

FOSDEM 2011

Nicu Buculei offered^[7] some photos from FOSDEM 2011, along with a full gallery^[8] of all of his photos.

Other Events

Steve Gordon summarized^[9] his and other activity at the Linux.conf.au that took place at the end of January, and pointed folks to more videos from the event^[10].

Fedora Community

There has been a lot of discussion around whether Fedora is a distro for power users or for all. Juan "Nushio" Rodriguez suggested^[11] that we should "be excellent to all", invoking some of Jared Smith's comments during the FUDCon Tempe State of Fedora address

Mairin Duffy suggested^[12] a "Fedora: You Make It" logo, which was seen as a positive perspective on who owns Fedora. Tom "Spot" Callaway offered^[13] that constructive criticism involves providing at least one suggested solution to a given problem. Complaining for the sake of it is merely destructive. Adam Miller suggested that we "Ask not what your distro can do for you, ask what we can do for our distro"^[14] on move on with some real solutions.

Joerg Simon suggested that we use the opportunity to spur more solutions building and improve communication across the community^[15].

General

Xenode Systems reviewed^[16] Calyphrox Webproxy 5.0 and "Top 10 favorite applications in Fedora"^[17]in their Spanish-language blog this week.

Bert Desmet encouraged^[18] more submissions and participation for next month's Whitespace hacker conf in Belgium.

Miroslav Grepl offered a three-part overview^[19]^[20]^[21] on his upcoming Developer2011^[22] talk on "Playing with SELinux."

Chris Tyler updated^[23] us on activity at Seneca in building a multi-PandaBoard Fedora ARM farm with eventually 15 connected boards.

Andrew Overholt requested^[24] some help with backing up the history for the Eclipse Linux Tools activity as it moves from subversion to git, and several suggestions were offered.

Truong Ahn Tuan announced^[25] the general availability of Zimbra 7, including feature highlights and distro packaging.
