Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 211 for the week ending January 31, 2010. What follows are some highlights from this issue.

  • In news from the Fedora Planet, several posts about opensource.com, coverage of a "State of the Union" from Red Hat's Jim Whitehurst, progress on Máirín Duffy's Inkspace course to a Boston area middle school, coverage of a discussion around Fedora's goals from several Fedora Project leaders, and enthusiasm for Gource, "an amazing program for visualizing commit history in a git-based code project."
  • In Ambassador news, an event report for the Cerea Fair contributed by several people from Italy that drew 20,000, including blog postings and photos.
  • In news from the Design team, details on preparation for Fedora 13 Alpha, with upcoming decisions this week on Fedora 13 wallpaper, and coverage of some ideas for Fedora 13 overall designs.
  • The Security Advisories beat brings us current with last week's Fedora 11 and 12 security patches. We hope you enjoy FWN 211!
