General

Andrew Overholt appealed[1] for anyone interested in helping get JBoss AS 5.0 into Fedora.

Karsten Wade wrote[2] about some of the issues and concerns involved with picking a CMS for Fedora.

Abhishek Rane posted[3] some nice screenshots of Amarok 2.0.1.1 (as well as a download link for Fedora 10).

Jef Spaleta continued[4] his across-the-intertubes discussion with Mark Shuttleworth about Canonical's Launchpad being closed source, and talked about his motivations behind contributing to Fedora: "I have never received a paycheck from Red Hat in any capacity...Making sure companies which proclaim to be open source advocates are actually ‘walking the walk’ is on my personal agenda." In another post, Jef added[5] the statistic "2 out of the top 3 'ideas' on Ubuntu's brainstorm this week are requests to take features from the Fedora Feature process for Fedora 10 and port them to Ubuntu". Along a similar line of thinking to the discussion about Launchpad (but not directly related to Ubuntu or Fedora, at least by name), he discussed[6] "How important is opening sourcing in the cloud?"

FUDcon Boston

Máirín Duffy took[1] some photos of the latest FUDcon Boston shirts.

Chris Tyler announced[2] that "Video from eight of the FUDCon F11 sessions plus Paul Frield's closing remarks/State of Fedora are now available".

Karsten Wade asked[3] "Where are your FUDCon session notes?" (so if you have any session notes from FUDcon, feel free to follow these tips to share them with others who may not have been so fortunate to attend in-person).

How-To

John Poelstra wrote[1] about how to perform "Fast Spaceless Backups".

Bogomil Shopov shared[2] a quick tutorial on "Installing LXDE on Fedora". LXDE is the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment ("a desktop environment which is lightweight and very very fast").
