Election schedule slip and moving forward
by Eric Christensen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
The F21 Election schedule slipped and I've reworked the election schedule[0]. Please note that we've opened up input for the questionnaire[3] so there is still time to ask a question if you haven't already done so. Additional information will be transmitted per the schedule.
== Fedora Board Elections ==
There are two nominations for two open seats on the Board: Neville Cross and Haïkel Guémar[1]. Because there were no other challengers we won't hold an election or townhall for these candidates.
== FESCo (Engineering) Elections ==
There are six nominations for four seats on FESCo: Stephen Gallagher, Dennis Gilmore, Miloslav Trmač, Marcela Mašláňová, Toshio Kuratomi, and Kyle McMartin[2]. Because there are challengers for the seats we'll hold a townhall and an election based on the updated schedule[0]. Input for the questionnaire[3] for the candidates has been reopened until 23:59UTC on 27 January 2014.
== FAmSCo (Ambassadors) Elections ==
There are four nominations for three seats on FAmSCo: Neville A. Cross, Truong Anh Tuan, Marcel Ribeiro Dantas, and Jon Disnard [4]. Because there are challengers for the seats we'll hold a townhall and an election based on the updated schedule[0]. Input for the questionnaire[3] for the candidates has been reopened until 23:59UTC on 27 January 2014.

RPM scriptlets failing during updates
by Rahul Sundaram
Hello folks,
If you have been running into RPM scriptlets failing during updates, this
was caused by a SELinux policy issue in an earlier update. If you were
running into this problem, you would have seen output similar to the
following
warning: %post(libkcompactdisc-4.12.1-1.fc20.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit
status 127
Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package
libkcompactdisc-4.12.1-1.fc20.x86_64
The policy itself was fixed via an update to SELInux policy package
(selinux-policy-3.12.1-117.fc20). Unfortunately, if you had installed the
buggy update and you have SELinux in enforcing mode, you need to follow
the steps outlined below to fix the problem cleanly
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F20_bugs#RPM_scriptlets_fail_during...
We apologize for the trouble and thank you for your patience

Fedora 18 End of Life
by Dennis Gilmore
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
As of 14th January 2014, Fedora 18 has reached its end of life for
updates and support. No further updates, including security updates,
will be available for Fedora 18. A previous reminder was sent on
December 18th [0].
Fedora 19 will continue to receive updates until approximately one
month after the release of Fedora 21. The maintenance schedule of
Fedora releases is documented on the Fedora Project wiki [1]. The
Fedora Project wiki also contains instructions [2] on how to upgrade
from a previous release of Fedora to a version receiving updates.
Cheers,
Dennis

Fedora 21 election season has begun!
by Christoph Wickert
My fellow Fedorians,
It's time for the Fedora 21 elections. In fact, we are already a little

* January 8 - 13: Nomination Period
(closes promptly at 23:59:59 UTC on January 13)
* January 8 - 13: Questionnaire form open for the community to
submit questions for the candidates.
* January 13 - 18: Candidates Questionnaire. Results will be
posted to the wiki prior to the first townhall

(closes promptly at 23:59:59 UTC on January 30)

Nominations are NOW OPEN until 23:59:59 UTC on January 13. I encourage
everyone to consider serving in an elected seat, or to encourage others
that they feel would represent Fedora well to run for election.

Additionally, the elections questionnaire is NOW OPEN for adding
questions which will be posed to candidates for the listed groups.
Questions may be added until 23:59:59 on January 13 at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections/Questionnaire

answer questions relevant to the position for which they are seeking
election.
Further information regarding each body's election follows below.

== Help us! ==
In order to make these elections a success, we need your help:
* First and foremost, we need you to vote.
* Tell others community members to vote.
* Ask questions in the elections questionnaire.
* Run for one of the elected bodies. With the new working groups
and CentOS as our new family member, we have exciting times
ahead. You can shape the future of Fedora and it's community!
* Encourage others that they feel would represent Fedora well to
run for election.
* Attend the townhall IRC meetings and ask the candidates your
questions.
* Volunteer to host the townhalls. We strive to have two meetings
for each body, that means six in total. I would appreciate your
help.
If you want to help out of have any further questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Christoph Wickert

Fedora 20 for IBM System z 64bit official release
by Dan Horák
Hello everyone,
The Fedora 20 GA release for the IBM System z is here. This time again
a few weeks later than the primary release mainly because of me being
on vacation (again :-)) during the December holidays. The difference to
primary Fedora is this time a bit larger than it was in Fedora 19 for
various reasons. For example some packages now exclude non-x86
architectures even when they built just fine for earlier Fedora
releases. We would therefore welcome feedback about packages that work
just fine on secondary arches so that upstream projects would be more
willing to include our secondary architectures as supported.
The links to the actual release are here:
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/20/Fedor...
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/20/Every...
and obviously on all sites that mirror the secondary arch content and we
still have few :-)
The first directory contains the normal installation trees as well as
one DVD ISO with the complete release.
Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)
For general Fedora documentation please see
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html
Additional information about known issues,
the current progress and state for future release, where and how the
team can be reached and just anything else Fedora on IBM System z
related can be found here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x/20
For architecture specific release notes, please read it as there are
changes in the interactive installation process. It's a wiki so don't
hesitate to add your knowledge there. You can find useful information
also in the previous release notes linked from the current ones.
More information about Fedora on IBM System z can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x
Thanks go out to everyone involved in making this happen!
Your Fedora/s390x Maintainers
