Richard W.M. Jones wrote[7] a tutorial explaining how to extend libguestfs.

Jeremy Katz questioned[9] the relevance of PPC as a primary architecture for Fedora.

Luis Villa shared[10] his thoughts on the pending lawsuit between RealNetworks and the MPAA regarding the legality of Real's RealDVD software.

In a later (unrelated) post, Luis Villa posted[11] a response to a recent controversy resulting from potentially offensive slides being presented at a conference.

John Poelstra described[12] Test Days, their usefulness and recent successes in the run up to Fedora 11.
