"One of the hallmarks of the Fedora Users and Developers Conference, or FUDCon, is that it’s gone global...Lots of people may also know that we make sponsorships (subsidies) available for our global FUDCon events. But how do these sponsorships actually work, with regard to paying for stuff like airfares and lodging? " [[User:Pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] explains<ref>http://paul.frields.org/?p=3407</ref>.

[[DanWilliams|Dan Williams]] posted<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2010/09/23/dont-try-to-run-honey/</ref> that NetworkManager 0.8.2 now supports automatically handling local caching nameservers (like dnsmasq). "Now you’ll get a local caching nameserver that will also do split DNS when you’re connected to a VPN, so that queries for resources on the secure network go to the VPN nameservers, and everything else goes to your upstream ISP."
