It was a pretty quiet week in Fedora-land.  Nothing really happened, so I guess we can just move ahead to the next section of Fedora Weekly News.
=== FUDCon Boston (F11) ===


Wait, what?  Oh, yeah... how silly of me!  I guess there was that one small announcement, like the general availability of Fedora 10 on November 25.
[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] made a few announcements this week regarding FUDCon Boston[1], which is January 9-11.


=== Fedora 10 ===
Paul mentioned[2] that the event will be held at MIT, he gives information about the social event, and also reminds people to register on the wiki and to make their hotel reservations before December 19th, in order to secure the $99 hotel room rate.


Keeping with tradition, the [[FPL|Fedora Project Leader]] [[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] wrote[1] a thank you message to the Fedora community on the eve of the release.

Also keeping with tradition, on the morning of the release, a "whimsical" announcement was sent[2] out on the morning of the release.

Naturally, some of the third-party packagers of Fedora (RPM Fusion and ATrpms) made their repositories available for Fedora 10 on the release day also [3,4].
=== Fedora 11 ===


[[ChitleshGoorah|Chitlesh Goorah]] reminded[5] the community that the Spins SIG has released seven Fedora 10 respins, all of which can be downloaded from [http://spins.fedoraproject.org spins.fedoraproject.org].
[[JoshBoyer|Josh Boyer]] wrote[3] about the process for selecting the Fedora 11 name. "We're doing the name collection differently this year than in the past. Contributors wishing to make a suggestion are asked to go to the F11 naming wiki page[4], and add an entry to the suggestion
table found there".


Finally, Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst sent a congratulatory email to the Fedora community [6].
