Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 149 for the week ending October 26,

2008.

 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue149

 

We are happy to announce a new beat covering the development of the OLPC

XO laptop and the Sugar interface authored by Pascal Calarco. This week

samples of beat contents include: OLPC detailing "Merging OLPC with

Rawhide"; Announcements alerts us to "Fedora 10 Snapshot 3";

PlanetFedora rounds-up "Events & Trip Reports"; an emotional

Developments stares at "Flinging Poo at libtool-2.2"; Translations

brings news of "Freeze Breaks"; Infrastructure examines some "FAS Dump

Breakage"; Artwork sounds out "Sound Themes" and a new "Four Fs Poster

Designs"; SecurityAdvisories faithfully lists this weeks important

updates; and Virtualization is again compelling reading with a "New

Model for Network Interface Configuration" in its oVirt subsection.
