[[user:kishan|Kishan Goyal]] posted on his experience on day 2 at FudCon Pune<ref>http://kishangoyal.co.cc/post/12549697509/fudcon-pune-11-day-2</ref>.


[[KushalDas|Kushal Das]] announced[0] a new version of the ''liveusb-creator'' GUI application. Separate from the ''livecd-tools'' and ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' application, ''liveusb-creator'' is packaged in its own RPM. Kushal writes, "liveusb-creator version 2.7 for Linux is released...  Now feel free to create liveusb images for your friends and for the special one."

[[NigelJones|Nigel Jones]] discussed[1] a variety of wiki improvements that have been deployed. This is a three-round improvement process. Nigel said of the first two rounds "At the request of the documentation team we enabled searching by default on various namespaces, of course, you most likely won't notice it at all.  Round 2 of wiki improvements start tomorrow, this is the exciting one. We are trashing the current authentication method IN THE BIN! No more htaccess prompts...  What's going in its place? The standard Mediawiki login prompt, it'll still be connected to FAS, it'll just look different."

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|Mairin Duffy]] gave us a look[2] at some of the proposed Fedora 10 artwork in the "gears" theme, which is a collaboration between her and [[NicuBuculei|Nicu Buculei]].

Two interesting posts about the Fedora feature process this week.  First, [[JohnPoelstra|John Poelstra]] discussed the Fedora 10 feature status[3], saying:
<references/>
 
"Feature freeze for Fedora 10 is this coming Tuesday, August 19, 2008.  The current list for Fedora 10 is growing with more waiting to go through the acceptance process here.  At feature freeze all features must be significantly completed and testable or they will have to wait for Fedora 11.
 
During this release cycle I collaborated with Paul Frields who greatly improved the documentation explaining the process.  We also got help from the Fedora art folks to make the process diagram better.  We also changed the categories used to classify feature pages in an attempt to bring greater clarity there."
 
In a separate post[4], [[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] mused on the benefits of changing the way new Fedora spins are handled from a feature point of view.
