Winner – landscape: The Beast

‘I love the raw power and beauty of storms. Watching this severe storm making its way to me, I was filled with excitement and anticipation. To capture the only CG (cloud-to-ground) bolt to come from this amazing shelf cloud was absolute bliss. Once again, thank you Mother Nature!’ Kabi Kabi country, Kings Beach, Queensland.

Winner – astrophotography: Oberon Kenobi

‘An amphitheatre of pandani watch on as the galactic core, swathed in airglow, rises over an alpine lake, nestled in a rugged Tassie mountain range. Lady Aurora dances under the Magellanic Clouds. This image was captured on a crisp night in one of Tasmania’s more rugged and majestic multi-day walks.’ Loinnekumme country, South-west national park, Tasmania.

"Sloping Glacier"

Fláajökull with Vatnajökull behind it, under a canopy of #AuroraBorealis and stars.

Höfn in Hornafjörður, south-eastern #Iceland is a recognised dark sky area.

On the left is Corona Borealis (Northern Crown) next to Boötes (Ploughman) and part of Ursa Major (Big Dipper/Plough) is at the top right.

I use a longer exposure on my #NorthernLights shots, as it captures more starlight. This is 8 seconds.

A night scene of browned grassland and a line of mountains. Between them, the folds of a wrinkled glacier drop to ground level. Above them is a clear sky with a few small clouds and lots of stars. Just above the tops of the glacier are swirls and ripples of soft yellowish green, curling and streaming across the sky to disappear at the centre right of the photo. The colour of the aurora is reflected in puddles and pools.

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.
