Last week I wrote about the suboptimal state of instant messaging in Fedora Workstation with some thoughts how it could be improved.

F21 Release Party in Brno
I finally found time to write a blogpost about our F21 release party in Brno office of Red Hat. It took place on the release date – December 9th. It was, as always, well attended. It’s hard to estimate the total number of attendees, but it was definitely over 100. Unfortunately, F21 DVDs had not…
