Fedora Weekly News Issue 222

Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 222^[1] for the week ending April 21, 2010. What follows are some highlights from this issue.

In project-wide announcements, we have news of a time extension on the Fedora Summer Coding project, a request for comments on a new Fedora contributor agreement to replace the CLA, and the start of the always-exciting naming process for the next Fedora release. From Planet Fedora we hear of a new IcedTea (Java) release, a PyGTK hackfest, some suggestions for sticking more closely to the release schedule, and an interesting essay from Dan Williams on CDMA 3G data adapters. QA tells us all about the recent Graphics Test Week, and some results of Fedora 13 Beta testing. From the Translation team we hear about the start of Fedora 13 User Guide translation and an improvement in the arrangements for updating the Translation Quick Start Guide (TQSG). Finally, the design team lets us know about an update to the Fedora 13 wallpaper. Enjoy FWN 222!

Unfortunately, as Kamisamanou Burgess is busy with study, the audio version of FWN - FAWN - is on hold until early May. You can still listen to old issues^[2] on the Internet Archive, though. If anyone is interested in helping spread the load of FAWN production, please contact us!
