Red Hat and Fedora Leftovers

Improvements to static analysis in the GCC 13 compiler
I work at Red Hat on GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. For the last four releases of GCC, I've been working on -fanalyzer, a static analysis pass that tries to identify various problems at compile-time, rather than at runtime. It performs "symbolic execution" of C source code—effectively simulating the behavior of the code along the various possible paths of execution through it (with some caveats that we'll discuss).

The Fedora Python Classroom
This Fedora distribution preloaded with Python goodies is perfect for teaching Python in the classroom and also has a lot to offer to developers.
The Python Classroom Lab first introduced with Fedora 26 and now updated to Fedora 38, is a ready-to-use operating system targeted to teachers and schools.
It is perfect in a school setting due to the property of Linux being able to run on old and limited hardware, since the available machinery seldom is up to date. Python classroom does not just that, but also fosters all the necessary tools to set up a complete Python environment for studding and trying out Python. As such this is not just addressed to schools but also programmers themselves wanting a fully blown development environment.
