[[MatthewGarrett|Matthew Garrett]] explained<ref>http://mjg59.livejournal.com/110870.html</ref> that there have been some patches submitted to <code>ALSA</code> that should clear up issues that some older ThinkPads have experienced with the volume controls and mixer levels.

[[SilasSewell|Silas Sewell]] described<ref>http://www.silassewell.com/blog/2009/05/04/managing-large-networks-with-puppet/</ref> how  <code>Puppet</code> can be used to manage large networks. "Puppet is an open source configuration management tool written in Ruby. It allows a systems administrator to define how a system should be configured using Puppet’s declarative language. Each Puppet client pulls its catalog at a regular interval and figures out how to make the catalog definitions true for the local operating system."

[[AdamWilliamson|Adam Williamson]] updated<ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/05/06/the-fedora-bug-process/</ref> the [[BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow|Fedora Bug Process]] wiki page. "One significant thing it formalizes was discussed at the QA meeting this morning: what happens when a Rawhide bug gets fixed." Adam also "re-arranged it in a more logical order, wikified it, and added a lot more detail on bits of the process, states, and resolutions that weren’t previously covered. It also now explicitly mentions which resolutions and states are valid for Fedora and which aren’t."
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.

[[User:Samuelig|Samuel Iglesias]] shared<ref>http://blog.samuelig.es/?p=278</ref> some basic <code>vim</code> tips. Regardless of your preferred editor, <code>vi</code> is generally installed <i>everywhere</i> so it is useful to know the basic.

[[User:Katzj|Jeremy Katz]] followed-up<ref>http://velohacker.com/fedora-notes/ppc-and-fedora-whats-next/</ref> from his previous post (mentioned in [[FWN/Issue174#General|FWN Issue 174]]) on the relevance of PPC as a primary Fedora architecture. At this week's Fedora Board meeting, "the Board voted and decided that from the Board level, PPC is no longer required to be a primary arch." Jeremy added "That does not mean that PPC is now automatically a secondary arch... The next step is that I am proposing to FESCo that they consider a proposal to have PPC become a secondary arch for Fedora 12."
 
[[User:Jwboyer|Josh Boyer]] announced<ref>http://jwboyer.livejournal.com/31831.html</ref> that, contrary to previous reports of doom, <code>deltarpms</code> may in fact make it into Fedora 11.
