Foss.in - Fedora report
Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram) reports in his message (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-December/msg00032.html), "Foss.in (http://foss.in/2005/) was a rather unique combination of world wide speakers on various topics. Alan Cox (http://foss.in/2005/schedules/talkdetails.php?talkcode=A0930014) was a pretty big celebrity and gave a speech on participation and kernel device drivers (quite a crowd puller) . James Morris (http://foss.in/2005/schedules/talkdetails.php?talkcode=C1030024) who gave a couple of speeches on SELinux has blogged about this experiences." Some event photos can be found in James Morris' blog (http://www.livejournal.com/users/james_morris/7564.html).
Fedora Ambassadors FAQ
Thanks to Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram), we now have more complete wiki page for Fedora Ambassadors FAQ (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/FAQ). This is where you can post questions you could not answer as a Fedora Ambassador. If you are not able to attend our regular IRC meeting (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings), this would be a good place to post your questions.
Fedora Core 5 Test 1 Review
Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram) points out in his message (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-December/msg00045.html), "A desktop review (http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=87564) focused on the look and feel. Gripes are mostly from the effort of an ongoing development process and known issues (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Test1CommonProblems) mentioned in the announcement (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test1-latest-en/)."
Netcraft stats for web servers
Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram) points out in his message (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-December/msg00046.html), "Red Hat and Fedora are among the top three along with Debian. Interesting stats for everyone." In this Netcraft article (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2005/12/05/strong_growth_for_debian.html), "Red Hat remains the most popular distribution for web hosting, and is still the best known distribution outside of the Linux developer community itself." "More significantly, some large hosting companies, like 1&1 and Affinity, are now offering Fedora - Red Hat's free, community distribution - instead of Red Hat on new dedicated servers."

According to RealNetwork's press release (http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releases/2005/rhapcom.html), "Rhapsody.com (http://www.rhapsody.com) (beta) enables consumers to experience Rhapsody without first downloading a PC jukebox application, and for the first time makes Rhapsody available to Mac and Linux users." and according to Real Customer Support (http://service.real.com/rhapsody/support.html?section=RhapWeb) page, system requirements for Rhapsody.com (http://reclisten.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/reclisten.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5366) are, "Linux Fedora Core 4 and SuSe 9.3 and above; Firefox version 1.0.1 and above (except version 1.5)"
