"The Fedora Audio spin will be targeted at both enthusiasts and professionals alike. We are also see the Live CD's for new users who have always wanted to try out Linux Audio but weren't sure where to start. Hopefully the live CD can also serve as a backup portable studio with all the packages you need!"
At Linux.com, Joe Brockmeier reviews GNOME 3.4 running on Fedora 17 alpha:

"So the big question for GNOME 3.4 is... are we there yet? Different people will define 'there' differently, but I define 'there' as 'a welcome desktop environment for users who liked and used GNOME 2.x.'

"I think the answer is yes, but only with a bit of tweaking. If choosing a desktop for myself, I'd probably opt for the Cinnamon fork of GNOME 3.x for now. But I wouldn't be hesitant to put GNOME 3.4 on a desktop for a friend or family member at this point."
 
=== Fedora 18 Planning: Name suggestions, system log and ARM support ===

"While the Fedora developers are working on the beta of Fedora 17, which is due to be released in two weeks, first plans are already being made for the Fedora 18 distribution which is expected to arrive this autumn – these include name suggestions, a greater significance of the ARM port, and a proposal to switch logging to the journal that is part of Systemd."

"The Fedora naming process is like no other. Community members suggest and vote on names, there is no benevolent dictator that chooses these
names. The only catch is that the name needs to somehow/somewhat be related to the previous release name."

=== Fedora on Raspberry Pi ===
=== Fedora 18 to use tmpfs by default ===


[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] posted<ref>https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2012-March/014240.html</ref> a handful of articles about Fedora on Raspberry Pi:
[[User:Jasonbrooks|Jason Brooks]] posted<ref>https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2012-April/014252.html</ref>:


"The operating system, which comes as an SD card image 'includes a little over 640 packages, providing both text-mode and graphical interfaces (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE)/ XFCE) with an assortment of programming languages, applications, system tools, and services for both environments. There are over 16,000 software packages available from the Fedora ARM repositories which can be easily installed using the Internet to customize your system to meet your needs and interests (again, using either command-line or graphical tools).'" (ZDnet)
"A feature proposal by Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers to mount the /tmp directory using tmpfs by default in Fedora 18 was recently accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo). This means that the next version of Fedora will store the temporary directory in RAM rather than on a partition on the disk. This makes the system gain some performance and improves the lifetime of solid state drives (SSDs) as it limits writes to the disk."

GNOME 3.4: Are We There Yet?

At Linux.com, Joe Brockmeier reviews GNOME 3.4 running on Fedora 17 alpha:

"So the big question for GNOME 3.4 is... are we there yet? Different people will define 'there' differently, but I define 'there' as 'a welcome desktop environment for users who liked and used GNOME 2.x.'

Fedora 18 to use tmpfs by default

Jason Brooks posted[1]:

"A feature proposal by Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers to mount the /tmp directory using tmpfs by default in Fedora 18 was recently accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo). This means that the next version of Fedora will store the temporary directory in RAM rather than on a partition on the disk. This makes the system gain some performance and improves the lifetime of solid state drives (SSDs) as it limits writes to the disk."
