=== Xen lets KVM overtake ===
 
[[User:Rahul|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-July/013990.html</ref>:
 
"Xen made virtualisation a popular issue on Linux servers and seemed for
a long time to be the open source virtualisation technology of choice.
But the Xen developers lost that advantage by setting the wrong
priorities. KVM was able to take over some key positions and, with a
large number of promoters, is now in a better position."

=== Fedora 15 KDE ===
 
[[User:Rahul|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-July/013989.html</ref>:
 
"Overall I think Fedora 15 KDE is a very attractive desktop distro. It comes with a good selection of software and an attractive & highly usable version of KDE. There’s not a lot here to complain about and there’s quite a bit to be happy about. I suspect that Fedora 15 KDE will be one of the distros that wins over wavering GNOME & Unity users.
 
Fedora 15 KDE is suitable for beginner, intermediate or advanced Linux users."

"Fedora has long been touted as being one of the most professional, stable, cutting-edge distros out there, and seeing as though its latest version brings GNOME 3 along for the ride, I couldn't help but download and install it. I've since used Fedora 15 for an entire month, so read on as I take a look at this release from all angles."

"Igor Soares - Projeto Fedora
 
I had a chance to interview Igor Pires Soares from the Fedora Project and chat about how he got started with translations, participating on several organizing committees and his travels around the world! He talks about getting lost in Chile, learning English and Spanish, the role his university played on his career, his top 5 books, movies and his
interest in music, including a very special moment during a U2 show in São Paulo. The interview is in Brazilian Portuguese, but anyone who can speak Portuguese or Spanish should be able to enjoy it!"

"After looking around for a good introduction video to GNOME 3 I found this one. It is the best one I've found so far. Unfortunately it seems to only be available in Flash format. Since Fedora 15 was one of the first distros to ship GNOME 3, it also covers Fedora some. Enjoy."
