General

Tom Callaway explained[1] why Chromium is not yet officially packaged for Fedora.

Richard Hughes plans[2] to release the first supported version of Gnome Color Manager this week, along with lots of new features. Daniel Berrange continued[3] with instructions for setting up Firefox to respect your color management wishes.

You can now automatically encrypt QCow2 virtualization disk images in Fedora 12, according[4] to Daniel Berrange. "Why might you want to encrypt a guest's disk from the host, rather than using the guest OS's own block encryption capabilities (eg the block encryption support in anaconda) ?

[[User:Mjw|Mark J. Wielaard] and others [10] "had some fun and made tracing python methods through systemtap possible."
