Unsigned nautilus packages in latest F10 updates
by Jesse Keating
Due to an as of yet not fully understood bug, unsigned nautilus packages
slipped into the last Fedora 10 updates push. I have a new updates push
running with signed versions of those packages which should finish in
the next 20 minutes or so. We apologize for any inconvenience this may
have caused and will continue to investigate the root cause.

Fedora Board appointment
by Paul W. Frields
I'm very pleased to announce that Dimitris Glezos has been selected to
fill the final seat on the Fedora Project Board. Many of you may know
Dimitris from his tireless work in the Fedora Localization
(L10n/translation) team, as part of its steering committee, his past
work on Documentation including its steering committee, and additional
work with Websites, Marketing, Ambassadors, and other groups. He is
also the upstream creator of Transifex, a web-based application for
enabling free and open source, cross-project translation services.
Dimitris has extensive history and experience in growing FOSS
contribution, breaking down barriers across all boundaries (including
those of language and locale), vigorously collaborating with people
throughout the Fedora Project, and working tirelessly in an open and
transparent way that encourages trust, respect, and positivity. I
hope the whole Fedora community will join me in welcoming him to the
Board.
The new Board will meet for the first time next week, on Tuesday 13
January 2008. Dimitris will join Bill Nottingham and Matt Domsch, who
are returning as community-elected members, and fellow appointee
Christopher Aillon. I speak for the whole Board when I say that we
look forward to serving the community and that your input is always
welcome. Please feel free to join the fedora-advisory-board mailing
list to start a discussion if needed, or you may email us.

Fedora Unity F9 20081217 respins
by Ben Williams
The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO
Re-Spins of Fedora 9.
These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 9
installation media and include all updates released as of December 17th,
2008.
The ISO images are available for i386, x86_64 architectures via Jigdo
and Torrent starting Wednesday January 7th, 2008.
Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!
DVD Media Only
Due to known problems in comps, this is a DVD Only Re-spin. The CD
version would have required all 6 to 7 discs to install.
Full Installation Problems if Language Support Groups Selected
Selecting some language groups will cause file conflict errors, such as
reported and explained in #465715
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465715>

Testing Results
A full test matrix can be found at our Test Matrix

A full list of bugs, packages and changelogs that have been updated in
this Re-Spin can be reviewed on
http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20081217//
<http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20081217/>
Previous Re-Spin (20081004) will expire
Due to limited resources, this spin will immediately obsolete 20080718,
which will be deleted from our mirrors in the next few days.
Fedora Unity has taken up the Re-Spin task to provide the community with
the chance to install Fedora with recent updates already included.
These updates might otherwise comprise more than 2.05GiB of downloads
for a full install.
This is a community project, for and by the community. You can
contribute to the community by joining our test process.
Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!

please contact the Fedora Unity team.
Contact information is available at http://fedoraunity.org/ or the

by Paul W. Frields
The Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 6 January
2009, at 1900 UTC on IRC Freenode. The Board has settled on a
schedule that puts these public IRC meetings on the first Tuesday of
each month. Therefore, the next following public meeting will be on 3
February 2009. For these meetings, the public is invited to do the
following:
* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. This
channel is read-only for non-Board members.
* Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This
channel is read/write for everyone.
The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public
channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting. This should
limit confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
