General
Michael DeHaan discussed[1] various Linux system configuration applets and some ideas how to unify/integrate them.
Gary Benson announced[2] that Zero has passed the Java SE 6 TCK, which means that OpenJDK in Fedora 10 for 32 and 64 bit PowerPC-based systems are now pretty much guaranteed to run anything you can throw at them.
Daniel Walsh explained[3],[4] some SELinux history, voodoo and how to rebuild bits of the policy RPMs.
Jeremy Katz reviewed[5] the book Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug and how that applies to web usability.
Red Hat Magazine[6] spotlighted[7] Func, which "makes it easy to write commands across large numbers of machines remotely and securely".
Ankur Sinha wrote[8] an article about the history of Fedora and its four core values.
Jef Spaleta wondered[9] how popular Git was, and found some interesting statistics from GitHub. He also discovered that apparently some[10] Canonical developers (the kernel folks) do used Git instead of Bzr.
Roland Wolters announced[11] that RPM Fusion[12] ("a merge of several former Fedora 3rd party repositories providing licence/patent problematic packages") has entered the testing state.
Ryan Lerch described[13] how to "Create a Lightbulb Icon that follows the tango! guidelines".
