Education
The Fedora Education Spin is progressing[0], having been "approved by all necessary bodies - Spin SIG, Board, Rel-Eng", reports Sebastian Dziallas. The spin has its own feature page. "Hopefully, we'll be able to have a preview of the spin ready in the next weeks", adds Sebastian.

Greg DeKoenigsberg reminds potential OLPC contributors[1] to surf over to the contributors' program on the OLPC wiki in order to request their own XO for development. Soon, Greg "will be sitting in on the weekly call that decides how these laptops are disbursed".

[[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.

Max Spevack reminds[4] everyone about the upcoming FUDCon Brno. "We currently have 110 people registered for the event," and the list of sessions and hackfests is on the Fedora wiki. 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.
