Hi,
As of the 30th of November 2018, Fedora 27 has reached its end of life
for updates and support. No further updates, including security
updates, will be available for Fedora 27. Fedora 28 will continue to receive
updates until 4 weeks after the release of Fedora 30.
The maintenance schedule of Fedora releases is documented on the
Fedora Project wiki [0]. The Fedora Project wiki also contains
instructions [1] on how to upgrade from a previous release of Fedora
to a version receiving updates.
Regards,
Mohan Boddu.

Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we
accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams:
* FESCo (Engineering) (5 seats) [1]
* Fedora Council (1 seat) [2]
* Mindshare (1 seat) [3]
This period is open until 2018-Nov-28 at 23:59:59 UTC.
Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, please
check with them to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before
submitting their name.
The nominees can already start preparing their answers for questions
in the Election Questionnaire. The questions can be found in the
template files[4].
Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure
issue[5]. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the
interviews to the Community Blog [6] a day before the start of the
Voting period (2018-Dec-06).
Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees
not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period
(2018-Dec-05) will be disqualified and removed from the election.
Nominees may submit their interview answers immediately and may edit
them until the end of the interview period.
Nominees are encouraged to begin their interview answers as soon as
they accept their nomination.
As part of the Campaign people might also ask questions to specific
candidates on @devel mailing list, if they want.
The full schedule of the December 2018 Elections is available on the
Elections schedule[7].

This year, the first-ever Fedora Appreciation Week will run from Monday,
November 5th to Sunday, November 11th. Fedora Appreciation Week is an
annual event organized by the Fedora Community Operations (CommOps)
team. It’s a week-long event to celebrate efforts of Fedora Project
contributors and to say “thank you” to each other.
This year, the Appreciation Week runs during the fifteenth anniversary
of the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project has changed in many ways since
2003, but not the importance of our contributor community. This is a
week to celebrate the friends, colleagues, and contributors who are part
of this fifteen-year open source saga. Learn more about the event here.
