We begin this section with [[JonathanRoberts|Jonathan Roberts]], and his[5] many[6] posts[7] about the Dell Mini and how it functions[8] with Fedora.  Credit JonRob for being tough-minded enough to get the machine to work, despite sound and wireless problems.  "I've gone ahead and created a wiki page documenting everything you need to do, as well as joined the Fedora Mini SIG. I've already got some packages waiting to be sorted that would be appropriate for the SIG, so I'll attach them to their tracker bug at some point in the near future."

[[DimitrisGlezos|Dimitris Glezos]] posted[9] about translations and release engineering.  "There are more than 400 active Fedora translators contibuting in a lot of languages. Anaconda, the Fedora installer, is shipped to more than 60 languages (counting only those with a considerable completion percentage). The Fedora website speaks more than 20 languages. Considering that this is almost exclusively volunteer community work, I’d say our groups of translators are doing an amazing job."

[[LennartPoettering|Lennart Poettering]] wrote[10] several[11] articles[12] about the Linux audio stack this week.  His impetus: "At the Audio MC at the Linux Plumbers Conference one thing became very clear: it is very difficult for programmers to figure out which audio API to use for which purpose and which API not to use when doing audio programming on Linux."
