General
Paul W. Frields announced[1] the Fedora 11 Alpha, as well as an explanation of why Alpha releases exist and how you can get a sneak-peek at what will be in the next release while helping Fedora improve.
Dwayne Bailey developed[2] a system to manage the localization of software and integrated[3] it with some existing libraries to produce Virtaal[4].
Gary Benson continued[5] his excellent series "Inside Zero and Shark", a must-read for anyone interested in virtual machines or Java internals.
Dave Jones explained[6] the status of Dracut, "the shiny new initramfs creation tool."
Chris Tyler wrote[7],[8] [9] about getting a multiseat system set up using a single computer and dual ATI R710 video cards.
Steven Moix benchmarked[10],[11] the performance of Solid State Disks using various I/O schedulers running on Fedora 10.
Tim Waugh showed off[12] the eye candy of system-config-printer that can be expected in Fedora 11.
Adrian Likins pondered[13] the availability of "a mailing list summary page. The page would scan the mailing lists, and post the content most likely to need attention." Fedora Weekly News?

Tim Waugh described[15] "How I use git" which shows some useful tips and tricks.

FOSDEM 2009

Pierros Papadeas took[1] a nice set of photos including some general shots of Brussels.
Joerg Simon got[2] some shots of the Fedora booth.
