TheEvilSkeleton: The Fedora Project Remains Community Driven
Recently, the Fedora Project removed all patented codecs from their Mesa builds, without the rest of the community’s input. This decision was heavily criticized from the community. For that decision, some even asked the Fedora Project to remove “community driven” from its official description. I’d like to spend some time to explain why, in my opinion, this decision was completely justified, and how the Fedora Project remains community driven.
[...]
Massive organizations, like the Fedora Project, must comply with laws to avoid lawsuits as much as possible. Patent trolls are really common and will target big organizations. Let’s not forget that, in 2019, GNOME was sued by a patent troll. Unfortunately, patent trolling is quite common. And even worse, patent trolling against open source projects has considerably increased since early this year. So, this decision had to be acted quickly, to avoid potential lawsuits as soon as possible.
Complying with laws is not up to the community to decide. For example, Gentoo Linux, another community driven distribution, cannot and will not redistribute proprietary software at all. And this is not something that can be voted on, but must be complied with. This doesn’t mean that Gentoo Linux is not community driven whatsoever; it only means that it’s legally bound, just like how the Fedora Project cannot ship these patented codecs.

Stack/Unstuck: Data-baeses
Writing data is easy. You take in the information and put it away for future use. It’s remembering exactly what you wrote and where you put it that’s the challenge. Just like having to look for your keys as you try to rush out the door, getting that data quickly makes all the difference. And when your database is your bestie, it can serve that information faster than you could imagine.

Red Hat OpenStack 17 Targets Telco Stability [Ed: Sponsored puff piece. Too many publishers 'forget' to mention that IBM/Red Hat pays them for the fluff.]
Red Hat launched the latest iteration of its long-running OpenStack platform with new telecom operator-focused features that further closes the bond between that product and the vendor’s cloud-native OpenShift platform.
Specific OpenStack 17 updates include dynamic resource allocation and director designed to support “lighter” deployments. These are applications that don’t require as many services and are targeted at a smaller infrastructure footprint like edge or resource-constrained locations.
