http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6Future (*secret site - don't tell anyone*)  Actually, the FedoraWiki has a ton of info there, but you have to find the Wiki first. Always interesting board meetings, ways to communicate and provide feedback, and much, much more. Poke around when you have a chance. Edit: Check out 'People' - lots of info there and it puts faces and personalities on the distro.

btw, does anyone know if Fedora will release Sun's Java client with FC6? Seeing that Java has changed their licence so distros can use it...

Suns Java is still closed source. Fedora won't include any closed source software.

That's really a shame. I hope at least JAVA will be easier to install in FC6.

Sun has indicated a willingness to open source their technologies with the OpenSolaris effort, and they have stated that Java will be open sourced some time in the future. In the mean time, Fedora ships free java that is capable of running some of the more popular open source java solutions like the bittorrent client Azureus. The fact that Fedora already has java is in part what makes the installation of Suns java stack difficult. The new licensing might indicate that third party repositories can ship java, this I don't know for sure but it is a possibility. If so, easier installation will be the effect.

Personally I don't think so, but it is possible.
