Fedora 8's FUDCon Cancelled
MaxSpevack announces in fedora-devel-announce[1],
"Yesterday the Fedora Board made the decision not to hold an in-person FUDCon for F8. Like you, I'm a disappointed, but I'm also excited for us to try out an organized, weekend-long virtual hackfest (more below)."
"The feature list for Fedora 8 is coming together very well, and we're planning over the next few weeks how we can do a virtual hackfest for F8. The idea is to pick some days, probably the same weekend (4, 5 August), and organize energy around people having an IRC-based hackfest that weekend."

Max Talks to the Children 2.0
MaxSpevack points out in his blog[1]
"I spent 45 minutes the other day at Shodor Education Foundation[2]. They were having a career day, and they invited 4 people from companies in the Raleigh/Durham area to talk to a group of kids. I would say there were about 30 kids total, ranging from probably 7th grade through early college-age, with most of them in the 8th-11th grade group."

Creating Re-Spins with Revisor
JeroenVanMeeuwen points out in his blog[1]
"Creating re-spins has never been this easy. Of course we had pungi and livecd-tools to which we had added this GUI thing in Revisor[2], but since I've re-enabled the CLI mode in Revisor, re-spins go even easier and quicker by just copying these lines..."
