Hello All,
The press push for Fedora 11 will be in full effect starting tomorrow.
Below is what I will post to the Fedora planet and submit to other news
channels tomorrow. Something will be posted about this to announce list
tomorrow. Also, this is what should be distributed by the NDN folks and
please ambassadors and others if you can help drum up support by linking
to this, that would be great.
Of course let me know what you think. I will be tweaking this again
assuming I get some good feedback. I will be back on the computer at
around 11pm.
I'm not sure what feedback you were looking for exactly. I made some
grammatical and content suggestions.

In the interview, Jesse talks to us about the achievement milestone of
putting together 11 releases, the process of planning and putting
together a Fedora release, how it was done for F11 and also some of the
tools, which he helped create which are used to put together the Fedora
distribution. He talks about Pungi [
https://fedorahosted.org/pungi/] and
Revisor [
http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/] which are tools used to compose
the Fedora tree and create a custom remix or re-spin,
respesctively.

He also talks about some of the changes which have taken place under
the hood to enable Fedora's new super fast boot up.

Jesse takes us
on a whirlwind tour of some of the greatest enhancements we can look
forward to in F11, including changes to PackageKit
It would really be nice to ensure whatever Jesse says about PK is
bare-bones, or at least non-conflicting. There's a whole PK podcast
ready as we agreed in our planning:

and a new
upstream version of RPM, the new default ext4 filesystem, enhanced
fingerprint support for authentication and what we can look forward
to in the future releases of Fedora.
The Full Fedora 11 Feature list can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList and you can look
forward to more in depth coverage of some of those features and of the
upcoming release in the days to come. Fedora 11 is sure to prove a
highly innovative and technology advanced release.
"technologically advanced"
Fedora 11. Get ready. There's reason to be excited!
Damn skippy.
