I bet the Fedora News crew would jump at the chance to devote a
special issue to this coverage, if someone but asks politely and
describes the need concisely.

No Planet Beat this week. I have to travel, and there's just too much

I tried to advertise on Planet (heh) for a new beat writer, but no

It's no worry Oisin -- the fedora-announce-list is moderated, so
someone just deleted your mail from the queue and it never hit the
wire.

Nice work everyone -- the FWN has done nothing but get better since it
started, and your teamwork is really spectacular. I forward these
inside Red Hat too, so people around the company that don't follow all
our lists can se a nice summation of what's going on in Fedora.

Keep up the superb work!

That's nice of you Max. I swear I know the difference between

Oh no. Just realized I hit Reply-all in my mail client and made an a***
of myself on @fedora-announce etc. Back to bed for me. I'd apologize
on those lists but then it's just more unwanted traffic from someone
that needs to be bashed hard with the cluestick.

Great intro Pascal. I really think these are worth spending time on in
order to lure casual readers in to sample the great contributions which
they might otherwise miss. Makes me want to go back and read some more
anyway!

Thanks for doing such a great job,

Great introduction Pascal. I really think these are worth spending time
on to draw in readers and dangle tantalizing samples of all the great
work that our contributors put in. At any rate it makes me want to go
back and read it :)

Thanks for doing such a nice job,
