Fedora 7 Artwork Proposals
Mairin Duffy (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MairinDuffy) announces in Fedora News Story (http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/2058):
The Fedora Art Team is accepting proposals for Fedora 7's theme. You need not submit a completely finished, polished theme by Dec 4.
Peace In Our Time
Mark Webbink (http://www.redhat.com/about/companyprofile/inthenews/webbink.html) points out in his blog (http://blogs.redhat.com/executive/archives/000274.html):
Hovsepian later appeals to the free and open source community to forgive this action based on all of the other actions Novell has taken in fighting software patents, but for the most part his itemized list just doesn't hold together.
Novell wants us to believe their position on open source and patents hasn't changed. I'm having a hard time buying that argument.
VanLUG Report
Luya Tshimbalanga (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LuyaTshimbalanga) reports in his blog (http://thefinalzone.blogspot.com/2006/11/vanlug-report.html):
Back from Vanlug meeting. There were about 40 people attending to the event. Most of audiences use Debian distribution. However, they were very open as some of them did not touch Fedora Core since the first release.
SCALE Readies 'Non-Commercial' Open Source Conference
According to recent article published on LinuxPlanet (http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6332/1/):
Despite the proliferation of LinuxWorld and other commercial open source shows, several regional Linux organizations continue to hold their own conferences and expos. Right now, for example, a group of open sourcers in California is readying SCALE (Southern California Linux Expo) 5x, an event slated to take place in Los Angeles on February 9 to 11 of next year.
Review: Fedora Core 6
According to recent review published on free-bees.co.uk (http://www.free-bees.co.uk/articles/fedoracore6/):
Fedora Core is often called a test version of Red Hat, but many believe that it deserves to be recognised as a fully fledged distribution in its own right. Led by a community and sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is probably one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions in the world, with users including Wikipedia.
Review: Fedora Core 6
According to recent review published on Enterprise Networking Planet (http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3645261):
After the usual new-release downloading frenzy died down a bit, I downloaded the 3.3 gigabyte DVD .iso image, stoked the boiler of my test PC, and put Fedora Core 6 through its paces. My mission: to determine if FC6 is suitable for production systems, or if it's better suited as a bleeding-edge testbed.
