Greetings.
Fedora 14 was a pretty relaxing and stable release. I'm thinking that
Fedora 15 may be much more exciting. ;)
Things I know of so far:
* systemd
* gnome3 / gnome-shell default
* removing a bunch of suid stuff in favor of capabilities
* xfce 4.8 (with any luck).
Things that are out there, but no idea if anyone is working on them or
if they might be ready by f15:
* grub2 (no one is driving for this that I know of, but has some
advantages over our grub1 if someone is willing to run with it, although
it may be a lot of work to get it to where we need it).
* btrfs (Is this ready to be default? :) If so, would that warrant a
change in our lvm by default setup?
* Can we finally remove hal? (xfce4.8 shouldn't need it anymore with
any luck).
* Will NM finally be able to do bridging?
* Some kind of packaged wayland to play with, even if it doesn't do
much?
Any other exciting work in progress that might land in F15 that people
are actively working on?
I just wrote a blog post somewhat relating to this which some of you
good folks may have already seen on planet.fp.o, but I'll advertise it
here briefly anyhow:

The short version: the Cloud SIG is planning on having a bunch of
goodies, including BoxGrinder, OpenStack, CloudFS, Sheepdog, and
(HOPEFULLY) Deltacloud submitted as features for F15. Most of them
are already in the works. Links / info about those projects are in
the aforementioned blog post link.
But I happen to think that having more of a set of building blocks for
cloud applications and management in Fedora is VERY, very exciting. :)
