Fedora Freedom and Linux-libre
Alexandre Oliva posted new information about David Woodhouse's effort to remove and aggregate firmware into a separate tarball. Though this was initially born out of a drive towards more freedom in software, David Woodhouse points out that are legal and technical benefits to such a move.

Enabling Autofsck by default
A call to enable this variable by default which runs filesystem checks without any prompts resulted in a long discussion about potential data loss and the impact of LVM

Requirements gathering for new package source control
Jesse Keating is driving an effort towards moving the Fedora package specification and patches to a new and better source code management tool and is a collecting requirements from package maintainers on what kind of changes are desirable.

PackageKit UI
Richard Hughes has posted a new mockup of the PackageKit user interface which he hopes will address a number of issues and has solicited feedback from users.
