it as necessary for your area.

Twitter & Identica Accounts
by Kam Salisbury
Ok, now that our next release is just days away, its time to think about passing the 'fedora-linux' openid, identi.ca and twitter accounts to another marketing person.
I had put the accounts together to help us spread Fedora information in the short text media world. I also configured them so that it would be easy for two people to migrate ownership of the accounts from one person to the other.
Though I was fairly involved in the F11 release, this will not be the case with F12. So... Any takers?

Fedora 11: Raise thy Mighty... Finger?
by Jack Aboutboul
http://jaboutboul.blogspot.com/2009/06/fedora-11-raise-thy-might-finger.html
Authentication is an aspect of computing which many take for granted.
What's all the fuss? you think. Username, password and that's that. In
the following Q&A session with Bastien Nocera, long time Fedora
Contributor and Desktop Renaissance Man, we discover that when it comes
to authentication, there is more than meets the finger!
With fingerprint and other biometric authentication options gaining more
popularity, its time to get more creative regarding their use. Many
laptops have had built-in fingerprint readers for upwards of two years
now and Fedora 11, thanks to Bastien and crew, does a solid job of
making that option a viable one for Linux desktop user. How did we make
this happen for Fedora 11? Will your Fedora laptop one day be able to
authenticate you on the web using your finger? Will we ever get GNOME
keyring to unlock using a fingerprint? What will Bastien work on next?
All this and more if you keep reading below!
Or above in this case...

Watch Out! Fedora 11 Coming Right Up!
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
http://www.everyjoe.com/newlinuxuser/watch-out-fedora-11-coming-right-up/
"PlanetOSS even has a review of Fedora 11’s pre-release. Steven J.
Vaughan-Nichols listed down Fedora’s 5 best features even.
On the best features list, I saw that the fast boot up time was
included. I saw that on one of the tweets of one person I’m following.
The list includes Fedora using Ext4 by default, better graphics because
of X.server 1.6, as well as improvements with Synaptics to the point
that it made him appreciate touchpads more. Another one is the extra
security provided by DNSSEC."
