In our last issue of 2008, Announcements reminds you of FWN's holiday

schedule and presents the gift of the Omega distro, Planet is chock full

of tasty tidbits from the Fedora blogosphere, Developments invites you

to warm your hands over a "Nautilus Spatial-mode Flamewar",

Documentation invites you to a "Holiday Hackfest", Translations reports

on the re-organization of "Sponsors for cvsl10n", Artwork unwraps some

shiny "Creation Highlights", SecurityAdvisories lists some ways to avoid

a lump of coal from Santa, and the usual sleigh-load of Virtualization

goodies includes instructions on "Building oVirt from Rawhide." We would

like to thank our readers for their interest and attention and all our

contributors for producing the goods week after week. May you all have a

happy and relaxing holiday and we look forward to seeing you again in

January 2009.
