Announcing Fedora 11 Alpha (blink)
by Jesse Keating
To blink or not to blink: that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous users,
Or to take arms against a see of power drains.
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more: and by a sleep to say we suspend.
Ok enough of that. The Fedora project is proud to present the
availability of Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Alpha. Now is the time to test,
now is the time to improve.
The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community
to become involved with testing Fedora 11 by way of Rawhide:
Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's development
branch, which undergoes rapid changes before becoming the next major
release.
* The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides:
* A look at what new features are to be included in the
next release
* A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure
that the next release is as good as possible
For information about what new and wonderful things Alpha brings us,
please check out the release notes:

What to test
Test status is being tracked here:

2009-02-05 - Fedora Test Day - ext4 default fs
by James Laska
Greetings testers!,
Unless we uncover devastating issues with the transition from ext3 to
ext4 as the default file system, Fedora 11 installed systems will be
using ext4. I'd like to invite testers and users to join #fedora-qa
this Thursday, February 5, 2009. Test efforts will focus on:
* Ext4 as default partition
Come with questions and/or suggests to he posted test cases. More
details (including test cases) available at ...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2009-02-05.
Many thanks to Jóhann Guðmundsson for the greatly simplified (and
clearer) the test day wiki and to Robert Williams for his work in
designing test cases for the event.
See you there,
James

Fedora 11 Alpha slip
by Jesse Keating
We've decided to delay the release date of Fedora 11 Alpha by 2 days
giving us time to fully sync the release to our mirror systems. The new
release date is this Thursday, Feb 5th at 1500 UTC. An announcement
will be made then when the bits are available to the general public.
