Mairin Duffy (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MairinDuffy) points out in her blog (http://mihmo.livejournal.com/35195.html):
This week the Fedora Art Team closed submissions for Fedora 7 theme concepts. Here's a preview of the theme concept candidates.
She also submitted a story (http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/2192) at FedoraNEWS.ORG:
The Fedora Art Team invites all interested artists (especially artists that use free & open source art software!) to sign up for the Fedora Art list and help us refine the designs for Fedora 7.

Mozilla Corp. to work more closely with Linux distributors
Christopher Aillon (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristopherAillon) points out in his blog (http://christopher.aillon.org/blog/dev/mozilla/20061204-linux-alliance.html):
The big change is that the distros, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Novell, etc. will now have much more say over what happens with the Linux bits. Key contributors on Linux will start getting more sway. Along with roc, I'll start taking on a bigger role with getting things done upstream and making sure distros are accounted for. This includes making sure we get our patches back upstream, and providing extended support on various branches.
Zod LiveCD Beta Available
David Zeuthen (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DavidZeuthen) announces in fedora-devel-list (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-December/msg00016.html):
..during the Fedora Summit it was decided that it was time to get more serious with having Live CD's as part of the Fedora release processes. Part of this includes building a Live CD with software from Core 6 and Extras 6. I've created a Wiki page for tracking this work (feel free to contribute).
According to recent email communication with David:
Another design goal was that it should be installable without requiring network at all. I've got the "install to hard disk" feature done but at this point only as a proof of concept...The plan is to completely integrating Live CD creation into the Fedora release process including daily Live CD builds of Rawhide. Then we can start doing the "install to hard disk" feature.
Linux For You December 2006 Articles
Rahul Sundaram (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram) points out in his recent email communication:
Linux for you (http://www.linuxforu.com/) is (supposedly) Asia's only printed Linux magazine. It is distributed to India and Singapore among other places. This is the same team that organizes Linux Asia conference in Delhi where we had a FUDCon this year and won the best community distribution award.
The first article is entirely my reply to interview questions from a freelance writer. The second is of course Max Spevack's one.
