Announcing Fedora 7 Test 1 (6.90)
Fedora 7 Test 1 has been released today. For this particular release, we only did a Desktop spin of the package collection. We are still fine tuning targetted spins of the collection as part of the merger of Core and Extras. We also produced a LiveCD that has the ability to install to your harddrive, should you wish.

On behalf of all Red Hat associates, I want to thank all members of the worldwide open source community for committing their time, skill and intellect in creating a free and open source success - the Fedora OS.
Smolt: Fedora Hardware Profiler
Mike McGrath (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MikeMcGrath) announces in fedora-announce-list (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-January/msg00008.html):
Smolt is a hardware profiler for Fedora so we can get a better idea of what type of hardware is out there in the Fedora universe. It's still in beta but those of you running FC6 or newer (rawhide) can participate.

Fedora Package Database 0.1
Toshio Kuratomi (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ToshioKuratomi) points out in his blog (http://www.advogato.org/person/badger/diary.html?start=43):
Over the past several months I've been working on a Package Database for Fedora Contributors and Users. This database is intended to unite a number of pieces of data that we currently store in cvs, and on the wiki. The idea is to have both a central repository of package information and to have an interface for contributors to manage metadata for their package.
Fedora LiveCD 7 Test 1 Preview
According to recent article posted at phoronix.com (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=637&num=1):
For having a LiveCD test release, this is a beautiful first for the Fedora Project...The Fedora Echo icon theme is a huge improvement over Fedora Core 6 and past releases...Onto an exciting change for the LiveCD is the ability to install Fedora 7 to a hard drive...The current LiveCD installer is using Anaconda for the back-end installation process.
First test of Fedora 7 released
According to recent article posted at linux.com (http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/02/02/1433241):
"We are making the tools used to create these spins freely available (open source) and easy to use, so that folks can do spins of their own for specific needs, like say a spin of Fedora focusing on the Eclipse software set for a handout at a conference," says Keating. "There are lots of options [and] opportunities out there. I've only thought of a few. I'm very interested in seeing what our user base chooses to create on their own."
Fedora's metrics have ripple effect
According to recent article posted at linux.com (http://distrocenter.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/15/2137215&tid=107&tid=12):
Like Spevack, McGrath says that thorough data collection will ultimately lead to better Fedora packages. In addition to gathering metrics on user hardware, he would "also love to get a proper survey engine so we can flat out ask people what they're using our software for. We'd also be interested in getting a package list though that's down the road. This would be useful to see what packages are popular and which ones are just duds."
Security Week in Review 2007-01-28
Josh Bressers (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoshBressers) reports in his blog (http://www.bress.net/blog/archives/51-Security-Week-in-Review-2007-01-28.html):
The biggest thing to happen is probably a new version of Wireshark. Wireshark 0.99.5 was released on Thursday. It only fixes some minor crashing bugs.
- bind - Fixed in FC5 and FC6. This is the bind update I mentioned last week.
- libsoup - Fixed in FC6
