[[DanielWalsh|Daniel Walsh]] answered<ref>http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/28828.html</ref> the question "What Happened to setroubleshoot?" in Fedora 11 and provided a preview of some <code>sealert</code> changes planned for Fedora 12. In another post, he added<ref>http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/29041.html</ref> some information about the differences between running a daemon directly versus with an init script, and how that can cause permissions problems with SELinux.
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.


[[GregDeK|Greg DeKoenigsberg]] described<ref>http://gregdek.livejournal.com/51300.html</ref> some of what he has been up to recently, an "attempt to change the way that computer science education works."

[[User:Katzj|Jeremy Katz]] requested<ref>http://velohacker.com/fedora-notes/a-request-for-some-simple-testing/</ref> that people help test <code>isohybrid</code> a new tool that "lets you take an ISO image, post-process it and then be able to either burn the ISO to a CD or write it to a USB stick with dd".
 
[[User:Kwade|Karsten Wade]] suggested<ref>http://iquaid.org/2009/06/18/i-want-an-rpm2all-tool/</ref> that there should exist some sort of "<code>rpm2all</code>" tool that could take an RPM file and automatically build installable releases for any distribution.
 
[[User:Jwboyer|Josh Boyer]] mentioned<ref>http://jwboyer.livejournal.com/33999.html</ref> the fact that for F13, PPC will no longer be a primary architecture, and there are a number of tasks to be done in order to make the transition as smooth as possible. Those interested should join the [[Architectures/PowerPC|PowerPC]] SIG.
 
[[MichaelDeHaan|Michael DeHaan]] offered<ref>http://michaeldehaan.net/2009/06/20/learn-to-hack-on-cobbler-week-july-6th-july-10th-2009/</ref> to personally help people get started with hacking on <code>Cobbler</code>. "If you are interested in datacenter automation around Cobbler, from July 6th to July 10th, I’m going to offering myself up to teach folks how to hack on the Cobbler project."
