[[TimNiemueller|Tim Niemueller]] reports from China[1]:
[[user:jsimon|Joerg Simon]] posted pictures<ref>http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/11/fudcon-pune-2011-travel-und-event.html</ref> of the event.


"As you can see on the photo we have put Fedora stickers at prominent places on our robots (there is one at the back side as well). It fostered some interest. I was talking to a member of the executive committee for the RoboCup@Home league. He liked the idea of a LiveCD with robotics software on it. A few other guys were asking "what is that T-Shirt about?"... Quite cool, hope to spawn more interest in Fedora in the RoboCup community."

=== FUDCon Brno ===
[[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.
===Fedora Community===


[[SandroMathys|Sandro "red" Mathys]] posts on his blog[1]:
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.


"The FUDCon Brno 2008 in Brno, CZ has been announced a while ago (previously as being located in Prague, though). But only just yesterday, some basic facts were confirmed, after a short planning meeting on last Tuesday.
[[user:jjmartinez|Juanjo Martinez]] blogged on his first impressions of F16, calling it an "impressive release"<ref>http://engbblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/welcome-fedora-16/</ref>.


So, the facts so far are:
===General===


* It will take place from Friday, 2008-09-05 to Sunday, 2008-09-07. Saturday, 2008-09-06 being the most important day, since people will probably travel there/back on Friday/Sunday.
[[User:adamwill|Adam Williamson]] posted about <ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/11/10/stupid-fedora-tricks/</ref>starting work on Fedora 17, and experimentation with the new kernel in a virtualized environment.
* It will take place at some university in Brno, CZ and we’ll have a hotel near the university which we’re told will not be very expensive.


That’s not much yet, but I think the most important things are fixed: When to travel and where to travel."

=== Privacy policy update ===
 
[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] discusses the need to update Fedora's privacy policy on his blog[1]:
 
"Thankfully, we have a proposal from Tom ’spot’ Callaway that will fix some of these gaps, and improve the transparency of our project. The new policy, and FAS, will continue to keep absolutely private your vital personal information, like address and phone number. And the FAS will provide “opt-out” capabilities for any project member who does not want to share their other data.
 
The fedora-advisory-board mailing list has a thread to discuss the policy. After a discussion period over the next several days, the intention is to submit it to the Board for a vote."

=== Beat writers needed ===
 
[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] puts out the call for writers[1]:
 
"As we approach the Fedora 10 Alpha release, the Docs team finds our list of beat writers for the Release Notes is sadly outdated. We need to get it updated with people who are willing to write information on Fedora 10 changes."
 
[1] http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=1066
 
=== Workarounds ===
 
[[ChrisTyler|Chris Tyler]] posts[1]:
 
"Some workarounds and fixes for annoyances I've recently encountered in Fedora:
 
* Fedora Planet display problems in Firefox 2 (F8) and 3 (F9)
* Unable to boot from a CD using KVM"
 
[1] http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/127-Workarounds.html
 
=== Python dictionary optimizations ===
 
[[LukeMacken|Luke Macken]] writes[1]:
 
"In my recent journey through the book ''Beautiful Code'', I came across a chapter devoted to Python's dictionary implementation. I found the whole thing quite facinating, due to the sheer simplicity and power of the design. The author mentions various special-case optimizations that the Python developers cater for in the CPython dictionary implementation, which I think are valuable to share."

=== SELinux and Security in the 2.6.26 Kernel ===
 
[http://namei.org/ James Morris] discusses SELinux in the 2.6.26 kernel on his blog[1].
 
"What's new and exciting with SELinux and security in the new 2.6.26 kernel?"
 
[1] http://james-morris.livejournal.com/31714.html
 
=== Steampunk photography - a GIMP tutorial ===
 
[[NicuBuculei|Nicu Buculei]] posted on his blog[1]:
 
"Now I can proceed to writing a GIMP tutorial about turning a regular photo intro "steampunk photography" effectively photos that would fit my Gears theme proposal for Fedora 10. (note: those photos are intended as additional graphics, not as a default wallpaper, I am not a big fan of photographic wallpapers as default and I can see no way of adding some blue to it, to make it look like Fedora).
 
Those familiar with my graphic tutorials probably know that I use to address the beginners, showing some techniques as simple as possible (and only pre-built filters), followed by some pointers about advanced usage and also letting it open, with a lot of optional steps and alternative ways, so I will try to do the same this time."
