In the wake of a long thread on the Fedora India mailing list, I've drafted a page that tries to explain the steps to be taken to request Fedora Media from an Ambassador. This page hopes to encourage users to use methods other than the free-media programme (India is receiving …
The recent upgrade caused my Empathy client to somehow forget the accounts that I had configured. (The ~/.mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg file is intact). A quick post to the devel list, here is what you need to do to get it working again:

The fedora-tour project relies heavily on clutter and the graphics support from our …
There's an ongoing discussion on 64bit flash on the fedora-test list. I learnt that Adobe had yanked the 64bit flash plugin (*I call it "meh!!", and it will be henceforth referred to as "meh!!" in this post*). I went back to the fedora flash page on the wiki and installed …
