Now that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has been released, [[User:Mjc|Mark J Cox]] explained<ref>http://www.awe.com/mark/blog/20101111.html</ref> why there is a new package signing key, and the new layout for its key GPG files.
[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.


[[User:Wwoods|Will Woods]] is leaving<ref>http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/wwoods/2010/11/11/new-job-and-a-new-job-opening-at-red-hat/</ref> the position as Fedora QA Lead. "But I’m not going real far – I’m moving to Red Hat Engineering, and joining the Installer team." And that means that there is a job opening within the Fedora Project.

In "This Week in Anaconda #5" [[User:Clumens|Chris Lumens]] discussed<ref>http://www.bangmoney.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/158-This-Week-in-Anaconda-5.html</ref> some future plans for the installer. In particular, the user interface (and usability) is being evaluated and <tt>btrfs</tt> will be an option (though not the default) in Fedora 15.

XKB's mouse emulation has been disabled by default in X, as [[Peter Hutterer|Peter Hutterer]] explains<ref>http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/xkb-mouse-emulation-removed-from.html</ref>. "Like so many other things, it is a low level feature that has virtually zero desktop integration. The only way to find out whether it is on or not is to hit a key and see the mouse cursor move...If you've accidentally enabled it the only thing you may notice is that your keypad stopped working." Don't worry, you can still turn it back on.
[[user:kushal|Kushal Das]] posted photos<ref>http://kushaldas.in/2011/11/10/photoset-from-fudcon-pune-2011/</ref> of the event to his blog.

[[LuisVilla|Luis Villa]] asked<ref>http://tieguy.org/blog/2010/11/15/do-open-uis-suck-or-do-uis-without-vision-suck/</ref> (and tried to answer) do “open UIs suck”? or do “UIs without vision suck”?
The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users.


[[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] summarized<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/fedora-board-meetings-12-15-nov-2010/</ref> the Fedora Board Meetings on the 12th and 15th of November, 2010.
