Planet Fedora
In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.
Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin
General
Tim Niemueller installed[1] the Maemo 5 SDK on Fedora, but there were a few "gotcha's" which can easily be worked around.
Radek Vokál summarized[2] his experience at the Red Hat Summit in Chicago, and took some nice pictures from around the city.
Harish Pillay analyzed[3] some security vulnerabilities in Windows Vista, and compared them with the Red Hat line of products. "Why do they [Microsoft] have to resort to outright lies and misrepresentations?"
Matt Domsch mentioned[4] that the Fedora infrastructure should now all work over IPv6.
Mel Chua made[5] some suggestions for writing an effective press release.
Michel Salim rebutted[6] the recent cries that OLPC has been a complete failure. "OLPC has failures in abundance, but it is a radical, category-creating product."
Greg DeKoenigsberg is seeking[7] Fedora contributers (whether they contribute a little or a lot) to be interviewed for a research project.
David Lutterkort wrote[8] about how to use Augeas to modify comments in configuration files.
Michael Tiemann posted[9] an interesting comic strip (and an actual post) about how some companies are patent trolls. It's amusing, I promise.
