What's new? Where should we look to find answers or to read something interesting concerning open source projects or linux?

Beyond googling for a specific technical term, or looking at wikipedia concerning a particular topic, where should one look to find information?

The main information I'd like reviewed here is the Name and location of the blog/web-site, how large or active the blog is, what's covered by the blog.

Contents

Main stream Tech news

Press announcements, Tech magazine news, concerning big business mergers etc.

How-to, Tutorial blogs etc., Help for beginners

This section should include pointers to significant and well-written documentation repositories online.

Open source project blogs

Every open source project probably has it's own web site and the larger project certainly have an announcement/development blog. Which ones do you follow? (Is anyone waiting for a particular bug to be fixed, or a feature to be added?)
