Interview with Tom "spot" Callaway (hardware.no)

As seen in his blog, Fedora engineering manager Tom "spot" Callaway was recently interviewed by "one of Norway's largest online computer magazines". In it, he answers questions about various aspects of Fedora, including competition, both free and proprietary, what's coming in Fedora 11, the relationship with Red Hat, and more. "The structure of Fedora helps to minimize the pain of merging new technology and features. We were able to merge perl 5.10.0 during a single release window during the Fedora 9 timeline, and we did it in a way that most people were unaware that we had made any changes. We've already moved to Python 2.6 in our development tree (which will become Fedora 11), which puts us in a much better position for Python 3.0. Our kernel team keeps the latest kernel version in our development tree, so we have a pretty good idea of where we are with regards to functionality well before we branch off for the final release."
