"We've got here our very first entry for "The $100.00 (USD) Coolest Linux Workspace Contest". It's from Mauricio, a Music Theory student. If he wins the contest, he says that he will be using the money to buy a USB mic for some serious music recording."
"...Fedora clearly has its fans. And, if you work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, it's a really wise idea to keep a copy of Fedora on hand so you can see RHEL's future."

[[User:Jnalley|Jonathan Nalley]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-April/012597.html</ref> a link to two articles, one from Datamation<ref>http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3877446/

</ref> and another related post from the same author from LinuxPlanet<ref>http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/7046/1/</ref>.


Highlighting some of the new cloud storage options and other new features in Fedora 13, the author raises issues with the back-end commercial service options that two of these packages, Déjà Dup and Zarafa, can tie into. This prompted a discussion thread on the Fedora Marketing list, with several community members clarifying some of these issues from the Fedora Project's perspective, and also resulted in another post by Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier in OStatic<ref>http://ostatic.com/blog/linux-shedding-indie-status-is-a-good-thing</ref> about linux commercialization and specifically referencing the Datamation post. Brockmeier's article concludes:
"Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience."


"Linux is evolving and becoming more suitable for mainstream users. Commercialization means more opportunity to expose a wider audience to free and open source software. It also means more people will be paid to produce more free and open source software. If that's off-putting for a minority contingent that can't abide "commercialization," then there's always OpenBSD..."

Kara Schlitz forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-April/012554.html</ref> a posting from ZDNet from 4/19/2010, which includes:
"The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year."


"Fedora’s selection of Zarafa as an open source groupware component in Fedora 13 is very interesting.

The beta of Fedora 13, code named “Goddard,” was made available on April 13. The final version is expected in mid May.
=== Fedora 18 schedule slips by a week ===


Red Hat sponsors the open source Linux project and has toyed with the idea of integrating email and calendaring capabilities into its Linux stack from time to time. Novell, of course, promotes its own GroupWise but also endorses other open source offerings for its Linux distribution."
"At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved."
