fudcon.in should say "the submission period has ended"
by Ankur Sinha
Hi,
I know I'm being slightly pedantic here, but the website should say "The
submission period has ended" instead of "call for papers is closed". The
call for papers is the initial announcement that the organising team
formally sends out to invite submissions. It feels odd to refer to the
entire submission period as "call for papers" (how can a period of time
be a call for papers?)

Thanks,

Report on Fedora 21 release party At Aurangabad, India
by Pravin Satpute
Hi All,
For me, Fedora 21 would be memorable due to 2 things, first
Fedora.Next initiative and second number of release parties in India :)
Overall 6 events for Fedora 21 in India [1], Hoping we will have
more for F22.
Sharing with you report on release party @ Aurangabad, India. This
was lead by Mr. Ashutosh S.Bhakare. Attended by around 40+ students.
Topics covered in it included introduction to Fedora, F21 products,
Docker, XFS and difference between init.d and systemd.
This event was included Fedora 21 installation demonstration as
well. Its really useful for newcomers.
More information about same available from blog [2] and event page
[3] Would like to thanks Rupali (Red Hat, Pune) helped in shipping DVD's
to event location.
Best Regards,
Pravin Satpute
