-[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] discusses the need to update Fedora's privacy policy on his blog[1]:
+[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.
-"Thankfully, we have a proposal from Tom ’spot’ Callaway that will fix some of these gaps, and improve the transparency of our project. The new policy, and FAS, will continue to keep absolutely private your vital personal information, like address and phone number. And the FAS will provide “opt-out” capabilities for any project member who does not want to share their other data.

-"In my recent journey through the book ''Beautiful Code'', I came across a chapter devoted to Python's dictionary implementation. I found the whole thing quite facinating, due to the sheer simplicity and power of the design. The author mentions various special-case optimizations that the Python developers cater for in the CPython dictionary implementation, which I think are valuable to share."

-[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] cheers on the AllemaniACs Robocup@Home team[1]:
-"They use Fedora for all their programming and onboard their robot soccer team, and they’re in Suzhou, China this week for the RoboCup@Home world finals, after winning the German Open in Hannover earlier this spring.
-Earlier today, we saw that at the end of the first day of the competition, the AllemaniACs are in first place. Congratulations to Tim Niemueller and the rest of the AllemaniACs team!"

-=== SELinux and Security in the 2.6.26 Kernel ===
-[http://namei.org/ James Morris] discusses SELinux in the 2.6.26 kernel on his blog[1].
-"What's new and exciting with SELinux and security in the new 2.6.26 kernel?"

-=== Steampunk photography - a GIMP tutorial ===
-[[NicuBuculei|Nicu buculei]] posted on his blog[1]:
-"Now I can proceed to writing a GIMP tutorial about turning a regular photo intro "steampunk photography" effectively photos that would fit my Gears theme proposal for Fedora 10. (note: those photos are intended as additional graphics, not as a default wallpaper, I am not a big fan of photographic wallpapers as default and I can see no way of adding some blue to it, to make it look like Fedora).
-Those familiar with my graphic tutorials probably know that I use to address the beginners, showing some techniques as simple as possible (and only pre-built filters), followed by some pointers about advanced usage and also letting it open, with a lot of optional steps and alternative ways, so I will try to do the same this time."
