+[[user:kishan|Kishan Goyal]] posted on his experience on day 2 at FudCon Pune<ref>http://kishangoyal.co.cc/post/12549697509/fudcon-pune-11-day-2</ref>.
-Starting us off this week is a blast from the past: [[JesusRodriguez|Jesus Rodriguez]] running<ref>http://zeusville.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/os2-warp-4-in-virtualbox/</ref> OS/2 Warp 4 (in VirtualBox).
+[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.
-As part of the process to review Anaconda's user experience, [[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] noted<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/reinitializing-will-cause-all-data-to-be-lost/</ref> that the "REINITIALIZING WILL CAUSE ALL DATA TO BE LOST!" dialog is both unnecessarily scary and complicated. And this week in Anaconda (#7), [[User:Clumens|Chris Lumens]] also discussed<ref>http://www.bangmoney.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/161-This-Week-in-Anaconda-7.html</ref> the storage component, specifically how it is tested and using hard disks with different sector sizes. In Part #8<ref>http://www.bangmoney.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/162-This-Week-in-Anaconda-8.html</ref>, Chris introduced "Lorax", a new project to rebuild the scripts that build an installation image.
+[[user:izhar|Izhar Firdaus]] wrote about his experience<ref>http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ShadowLogs%2FFedora+%28%3A%3A+Shadow+Logs%3A%3A+Fedora%29#!/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011.html</ref> at FudCon, as well as some thoughts on the atmosphere of the event.
-While on the topic of disks, [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] outlined<ref>http://fedoranext.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/buttering-up-fedora-15/</ref> where btrfs is going (hint: one day you will likely see it as the default filesystem in Fedora). And the days of naming ethernet interfaces <tt>ethX</tt> may be coming to an end<ref>http://fedoranext.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/a-lesson-in-persistency/</ref>. "Starting in Fedora 15, Ethernet ports on servers will have a new naming scheme corresponding to physical locations, rather than ethX."
+[[user:suchakra|Suchakra]] also blogged on Fudcon Pune<ref>http://suchakra.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/fudcon%e2%86%94funcon-pune-2011/</ref>.
-[[TomCallaway|Tom Callaway]] posted<ref>http://spot.livejournal.com/316190.html</ref> a set of notes about tuning Fedora for use on an SSD.
+[[user:kushal|Kushal Das]] posted photos<ref>http://kushaldas.in/2011/11/10/photoset-from-fudcon-pune-2011/</ref> of the event to his blog.
+===Fedora Community===
-[[User:Wwoods|Will Woods]] continued<ref>http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/wwoods/2011/01/03/depcheck-tags-and-timing-2/</ref> describing how the Fedora infrastructure goes about building and testing packages before they arrive on a user's system.
+The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users.
-Have you been wondering what the "Network Control Panel" will look like in Gnome 3? Wonder no more, as [[RichardHughes|Richard Hughes]]  posted<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2010/12/16/gnome-3-and-the-network-control-panel/</ref> a bunch of potential screenshots.
+[[user:jjmartinez|Juanjo Martinez]] blogged on his first impressions of F16, calling it an "impressive release"<ref>http://engbblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/welcome-fedora-16/</ref>.
-[[User:Rjones|Richard W.M. Jones]] explained<ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/tip-uploading-and-downloading/</ref> how you can use libguestfs, guestfish and its toolset to easily move files between host and guest systems.
+===General===
-[[User:Adamwill|Adam Williamson]] reported<ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2010/12/03/unity-on-fedora-possibly/</ref> that you may soon be able to install Unity on Fedora. "Why? Well, a few reasons. Mainly, Unity’s an interesting project. I want to look at it and compare it to GNOME Shell and I think quite a few others do too, so it seems nice to package it so you can run both on Fedora..." Adam followed-up<ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2010/12/08/unity-hardware-failures-and-f15-qa/</ref> with some more technical details.
+[[User:adamwill|Adam Williamson]] posted about <ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/11/10/stupid-fedora-tricks/</ref>starting work on Fedora 17, and experimentation with the new kernel in a virtualized environment.
-[[BryanClark|Bryan Clark]] mentioned<ref>http://clarkbw.net/blog/2010/12/08/thunderbird-conversations/</ref> that there is now an experimental Thunderbird extension that can display conversations in a similar way to Gmail.
-[[User:Jcm|Jon Masters]] suggested<ref>http://www.jonmasters.org/blog/2010/12/15/opinion-fedora-needs-an-architect/</ref> that perhaps the Fedora Project needs a Technical Architect. "FESCo should appoint a person as their technical representative who speaks for overall system architecture concerns. The person in this role should actively seek out compatibility or integration problems but should also be a “go to” person for concerns that arise in the interests of distribution cohesion."
-[[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] mentioned<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/fedora-board-blog/</ref> that the Fedora Board now has its very own blog where the December 13th meeting minutes have already been posted<ref>http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/board/?p=3</ref>.
