[[User:Jkeating|Jesse Keating]] was interviewed<ref>http://jkeating.livejournal.com/69319.html</ref> for a podcast, about the upcoming Fedora 11 release. Jesse also announced<ref>http://jkeating.livejournal.com/69477.html</ref> some discussions that the Fedora Advisory Board has had about the hostility that sometimes surfaces on the fedora-devel list and ways that it might be dealt with. "This is the "warning shot". Our hopes is that folks will start to figure out what is and is not allowed to happen on the list and things will tone down a bit".
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.
 
[[AdamWilliamson|Adam Williamson]] noted<ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/05/15/packaging-standards-again/</ref> a number of reasons that there can never be a common Linux Package format, but suggested that "what others want is something that would actually be achievable, which is a unified system to make it easier for third parties to independently provide self-contained software packages for various distributions...If you want to do it really snazzily, though, what you want to do is design the App Store for Linux, or Steam for Linux, or something like that." Jesse Keating responded<ref>http://jkeating.livejournal.com/69726.html</ref> that a potential complication might be "that user buy in is going to be hard when you take a software platform (such as RHEL or Fedora) that uses one tool to manage updates for the entirety of your software set (yum, PackageKit, whatever frontend) and suddenly add one or more tools to specifically manage one or two software bundles".
