In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide. This edition covers highlights from the past three weeks.

Justin O'Brien was one of many to announce[1] that the Fedora 13 Alpha has been released. "We need your help to make Fedora 13 the best release yet, so please take a moment of your time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the things that are important to you are working. If you find a bug, please report it – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide. Together, we can make Fedora a rock-solid distribution."

Aamir Aijaz Bhutto wrote[3] an excellent essay on "Open Source Philosophy" including a brief history of the movement.

Dave Malcolm mused[4] on the topic of "What variability exists within proposed updates to the Fedora package collection?"

Joshua Wulf posted[5] a giant comic-like diagram explaining what Publican is.
