-[[MichaelDeHaan|Michael DeHaan]], holder of the coveted "best blogger on Planet Fedora" title, as determined each week by your correspondent, has penned a treatise[8] concerning the future of systems management software.  "Cobbler and Func are very fun, I think they are quite useful, but I'm wondering what are next on the horizon for server management tech, not in terms of a evolutionary improvement but how things can be legitimately improved by fundamental, indeed 'paradigm-shifty' means."  Click the link below to read the entire post.

+===General===
-[http://illiterat.livejournal.com/ James Antill] has written[9] a tutorial on the Python yum API, which is incredibly useful if you have ever wanted to do stuff with yum, but don't know where to start and are afraid to ask [[SethVidal|Seth]].

-'''Events'''
-[[DavidNalley|David Nalley]] shared some details about the upcoming Fedora Ambassadors Day for North America[2].  The event will coincide with [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/OhioLinuxFest/OhioLinuxFest2008 Ohio Linux Fest] in October.  David said, "If you are a Fedora Ambassador, or want to be one, you should try and attend."
-[2] http://www.nalley.sc/david/?p=81
-[[ChristophWickert|Christoph Wickert] attended FrOSCon 2008, along with several other other Ambassadors, and shared his event report[3].  "Just like on Linuxtag the Fedora booth was located close to the entrance, so we had quite a lot of visitors. Unfortunately the booth was a little small and we had lot of stuff to show: Two OLPCs, an eeepc, two ALIX Machines and a couple of Laptops. Everything was running Fedora, the Laptops were running Gnome and Xfce, mine also LXDE."  Check out the link below for pictures, and the full report.

-[[MaxSpevack|Max Spevack]] reminded[4] everyone about the upcoming FUDCon Brno.  "We currently have 110 people registered for the event," and the list of sessions and hackfests is [[FUDCon/FUDConBrno2008|on the Fedora wiki]].  [[HansdeGoege|Hans de Goede]] will be attending FUDCon Brno.  He wrote an update[5] about webcam support in Fedora, which will be worked on at FUDCon, and also blogged[6] about the session he will give on how to become a Fedora package maintainer.

-'''Fedora List'''
-Fedora Board member [[ChrisTyler|Chris Tyler]] wrote[7] about the plans for changing the scope and ownership of [http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list fedora-list].  Chris says, it is "one of the first lists that most Fedora users join, and therefore quite important to the community. However, it's a high-volume list (and is sometimes perceived to have a high noise level), so many veterans of the Fedora community aren't subscribed... [[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] and I have taken on the ownership of the list, and we'd welcome one or two experienced members of the community to join us."
