There have been a lot of posts around FUDCon Tempe that took place two weeks ago. Here are the ones from the last few days.
 
Chris Lalancette provided a couple posts<ref>http://clalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/fudcon-2011-day-1.html</ref><ref>http://clalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/fudcon-2011-day-2.html</ref> providing summaries of the sessions he attended, including talks on Asterisk Hacks, Matahari, GIMP as a Pro Photo Editing Tool, and more.
 
[[User:Nushio| Juan Rodriguez]] blogged about the Fedora Trademarks session<ref>http://k3rnel.net/2011/02/08/fudcon-tempe-red-hat-talks-pt-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fudcon-tempe-red-hat-talks-pt-2</ref> and Red Hat Legal<ref>http://k3rnel.net/2011/02/07/fudcon-tempe-red-hat-legal-talks/</ref> discussion he attended, as well as Mel and Sebastian's "I'd like to continue hacking, but my hands hurt"<ref>http://k3rnel.net/2011/02/09/fudcon-tempe-id-like-to-continue-hacking-but-my-hands-really-hurt/</ref>.

==== FOSDEM 2011 ====
 
[[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] offered<ref>http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2011/02/after-fosdem-2011.html</ref> some photos from FOSDEM 2011, along with a full gallery<ref>http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/photos/fosdem2011/</ref> of all of his photos.

=== Fedora Community ===
 
There has been a lot of discussion around whether Fedora is a distro for power users or for all.  Juan "Nushio" Rodriguez suggested<ref>http://k3rnel.net/2011/02/09/fedora-rally-for-sanity/</ref> that we should "be excellent to all", invoking some of Jared Smith's comments during the FUDCon Tempe State of Fedora address
 
Mairin Duffy suggested<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/on-ownership/</ref> a "Fedora: You Make It" logo, which was seen as a positive perspective on who owns Fedora. [[User:Spot|Tom "Spot" Callaway]] offered<ref>http://spot.livejournal.com/316660.html</ref> that constructive criticism involves providing at least one suggested solution to a given problem.  Complaining for the sake of it is merely destructive.  Adam Miller suggested that we "Ask not what your distro can do for you, ask what we can do for our distro"<ref>http://pseudogen.blogspot.com/2011/02/ask-not-what-your-distro-can-do-for-you.html</ref> on move on with some real solutions.


[[User:kital|Joerg Simon]] suggested that we use the opportunity to spur more solutions building and improve communication across the community<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/02/give-us-back-our-distro.html</ref>.
[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.
