The Board is holding a public IRC meeting on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at
1600 UTC on IRC Freenode. For this meeting, the public is invited to
do the following:
* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.
* Join #fedora-board-questions to discuss topics and post
questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.
This meeting will last approximately 60 minutes and will be an open
discussion with the Design team. We'll take questions from the
community for either the Board or the Design team if we finish before
the 60 minutes is up.
The moderator will voice people from the queue, one at a time, in the
#fedora-board-meeting channel. We'll limit time per voice as needed
to give everyone in the queue a chance to be heard. The Board may
reserve some time at the top of the hour to cover any agenda items as
appropriate. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

There will be another Fedora Community Gaming session this weekend.
We will be playing armacyles-ad which is a light cycle game.
We will be starting at:
UTC: 1700 Saturday May 22, 2010
EDT: 1pm Saturday May 22, 2010
The game has short rounds, so drop ins and outs should be easy to accomodate.
I'll be hanging around at least two hours, and can let the server run as
long as people want to play.
This game comes recommended by a third party, but I'm still acting as
the organizer.
We'll meet pregame in #fedora-games . If any experienced players want to
recommend server settings, please speak up in the pregame meet up.
We'll also use in-game chat and I'll have Fedora Talk set up as well.
A bit more information is at

I'm pleased to announce that Jon Stanley will join the Fedora Project
Board. He'll be seated along with the other newly elected and
appointed Board members at the first meeting in June, which is an IRC
public meeting. Jon brings several years of experience with the
Fedora Project and also with FESCo, and is presently involved most
closely with our Infrastructure team.
As part of the normal Board succession process[1], a Board appointment
is made before elections for the elected Board seats take place.
Elections will begin on 2010-05-20 UTC 0001, as shown on the Fedora
wiki's Elections page[2]. All community members are encouraged to
cast votes for the Board and for FESCo up until the elections close on
2010-05-26 UTC 2359. After the end of elections, a final appointment
will be made to the remaining Board seat.

As many of you know, the FESCo and Board elections are right around the corner.
In each election cycle, a series of town hall meetings is conducted to
give the community an opportunity to ask the candidates questions -
and hear their answers - on IRC. The town halls for each election are
held twice, to allow for participation by community members in varying
time zones.
The town hall schedule is as follows:
Friday, May 14, 2010 - FESCo town hall - 16:00 UTC (12:00pm US Eastern)
Monday, May 17, 2010 - Fedora Project Board town hall - 00:00 UTC
(8:00pm US Eastern, -SUNDAY-, May 16)
Monday, May 17, 2010 - Fedora Project Board town hall - 17:00 UTC
(1:00pm US Eastern)
Wednesday, May 19, 2010 - FESCo town hall - 02:00 UTC (10:00pm US
Eastern, -TUESDAY-, May 18)
The town hall schedule, as well as important information about how you
can participate in the town halls via IRC, can be seen on the wiki at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections#IRC_Town_Halls .
For more details on the elections and candidates, please visit
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections.
I'm hoping for an excellent community turnout for these town halls - I
encourage everyone to join in and participate.

The F13 final readiness meeting, also known as the "go/no-go" meeting,
was held this evening. As the meeting notes indicate, there are bugs
remaining on the blocker list:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-May/090880.html
According to the release criteria[1], the decision was made to slip
the release of Fedora 13 by one week, to Tuesday 2010-05-25.
During composition of any further release candidates, the Fedora
Release Engineering and Quality Assurance teams plan to be
conservative in accepting fixes for the release, and will limit these
to blocker items and critical fixes.
The Fedora 13 release schedule[2] has been updated to reflect the new
release date. We regret any inconvenience to the community. Thank
you for your patience as we try to ensure the best possible Fedora
release.
