    [$] Deciphering Google's automotive Android plan

    At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Google announced the Open Auto Alliance (OAA), a new consortium of companies with the mission of improving Android for use in cars. That makes OAA the third industry coalition focused around getting Linux into automobiles (after the GENIVI Alliance and Automotive Grade Linux), which complicates the picture somewhat for fans of free software—particularly since there are several companies that participate in more than one group.

    Reznik: Where's Fedora 21 schedule?
    Jaroslav Reznik looks
    at the Fedora 21
    release schedule, or lack thereof. "[T]here are several working groups trying to redefine, how Fedora should look like in the future and it does not make sense to create schedule. We need resolution from this effort. It's planned for January.

    Is Fedora 21 going to be released in the old model way, or new one? Hard to answer right now. But there's one date - F21 is not going to be released earlier than in August (and I'd say late August).
