Fedora 23 released
==================
It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new
Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever
before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnations of the three
main Fedora editions — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Cloud, and Fedora
Server, each built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your
needs in different areas. Fedora 23 is also available in alternate
desktop Spins, curated software Labs, and special images for the ARM
processor architecture.
If that's all you need to hear, download from https://getfedora.org/,
or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading.
Otherwise, read on for details.
Fedora Workstation
------------------
If you're a software developer, laptop or home user, hobbyist,
enthusiast, or student, Fedora Workstation is perfect for you. Fedora
Workstation includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop, which
makes your everyday computing simple, polished, and pleasant.
Experience the sleek interface and powerful tools for yourself —
download Fedora Workstation now.
* https://getfedora.org/workstation
Fedora Server
------------
Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a
programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web
GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from
the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a
kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity
management solution in place by lunchtime.
* https://getfedora.org/server
Fedora Cloud
------------
Build scale-out computing with Fedora Cloud. The Fedora Cloud Base
image provides a minimal OS platform which can be downloaded for use in
OpenStack, or launched directly into EC2. Fedora Atomic Host takes
things in a more radical direction, providing a specialized system for
running Docker containers and Atomic Apps. Now with Fedora 23, Fedora
Atomic Host will be updated on a two-week cycle to keep at the edge of
emerging technology. Download or launch a Fedora Cloud image for your
chosen cloud provider, or as a Vagrant box for local development.
* https://getfedora.org/cloud/
Spins, Labs, and ARM
--------------------
Fedora Spins are alternative desktops for Fedora that provide a
different experience than the standard Fedora Workstation edition. For
instance, the Fedora KDE and Fedora Xfce spins provide popular
alternatives to GNOME for Fedora users who enjoy the KDE or Xfce
experience. Fedora 23 also introduces a Cinnamon spin, which provides a
"traditional" desktop layout with the modern GNOME 3 shell.
* https://spins.fedoraproject.org
Fedora Labs are curated collections of software maintained by members
of the Fedora Community where you can find updated live media focused
on Games, Design, Robotics, and more. These may be installed on their
own or as add-ons to existing Fedora installations.
* https://labs.fedoraproject.org
We also provide a version of the Fedora operating system tailored for
running in on ARM-based systems, previously mixed into the Spins page
but now with a dedicated download page.
* https://arm.fedoraproject.org
Updated Components
------------------
As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version,
with improvements across the board. Of particular note, Fedora
Workstation includes the GNOME 3.18 desktop environment and the Libre
Office 5.0 office suite.
Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with
increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3
and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software
installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and Fedora Workstation
to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now
at version 4.
Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial
U1F32D character.

Hi,
I intend to take a ROS RPM packaging session at the upcoming FUDCon at
Beijing in May. With that in mind, I'd like to take a couple of
workshops to help interested parties learn the tools before the final
hack session, so that we can get some actual work done at the event. A
workshop a week should be fine:
Week #1: Introduction to ROS - what is ROS, why it'll be good to package
it up for Fedora
Week #2: Introduction to RPM packaging - a basic introduction where
we'll walk through the hello world package
Week #3: Introduction to SCL and ROS packaging
Week #4: Q&A session
The FUDCon is still 7 weeks away. That gives us enough time.
Please forward this e-mail to the regional mailing lists, and anyone
interested in the topics, *especially* people that plan to attend the
FUDCon and contribute to Fedora as package maintainers.
If you'd like to attend the sessions, please fill in the whenisgood
event organizer before Sunday, April 13. We will begin next week.

Subject: [Test-Announce] Announcing Fedora 17. Relish it.
To: announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, test-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
"At the heat of a thousand hot dog cookers, the seventeenth release of
Fedora shall be forged by contributors the world over, and it will be known
as: Beefy Miracle. The mustard shall indicate progress.
For six months, participants in the Fedora Project shall freely contribute
to the release of the distribution, in the spirit of the Four Foundations
-- Freedom, Friends, Features, and First -- and moreover, they shall
relish in Fun, as a community without Fun would be like a day without
sunshine.
Upon release, a free and open source operating system shall be available to
all, catering to a variety of tastes -- those of end-users, systems
administrators, and developers, with a common thread that binds them all:
No, not their love for hot dogs, silly, as we certainly know that Fedora
shall be created and used by those whose dietary preference could be either
Beefy or Leafy. Freedom, my friends, Freedom is the Great Condiment, which
shall enable all users of the Beefy Miracle to Create, Share, and Do."
-- The Book of Sauerkraut, Chapter 12, Verse 529
The Beefy Miracle hath arrived. Behold, for it is available to download now:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-**fedora <http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora>
And lo, detailed information about this release can be seen in the release
notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/**en-US/Fedora/17/html/Release_**Notes/<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Release_Notes/>
== Condiments ==
Frankly, we believe this is the beefiest release ever -- chock full of
condiments, more commonly known as Features, to customize your experience
to your tastes. We take pride in our toppings, and in our fine ingredients;
Fedora 17 includes both over- and under-the-bun improvements that show off
the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free (range) software.
On the desktop: GNOME 3.4 introduces many user experience improvements,
including new search capabilities in the activities overview, improved
themes, and enhancements to the Documents and Contacts applications. A new
application, GNOME-boxes, provides easy access to virtual machines.
Additionally, GIMP 2.8, the newest version of the GNU Image Manipulation
Program, brings new improvements, such as single-window mode, layer groups,
and on-canvas editing.
For developers: You never sausage a great array of development tools!
Fedora 17 includes a pre-release of Juno, the release of the Eclipse SDK
expected in June 2012. Java 7 (and OpenJDK 7) is the default Java runtime
and Java build toolset, and GCC 4.7.x is now the primary compiler in
Fedora. Other language refreshes include shipping Ruby 1.9.3, the latest
stable version of the Ruby language; PHP 5.4, the latest PHP stack; an
update of Erlang to the R15 release; and the D language has been updated to
the 2.058 release.
Under the hood, and in the cloud: Serving up hot dogs all day long?
Increase your reliability and versatility with the new enhancements to the
clustering stack in Fedora 17. Load balancing and high availability
improvements have been made, allowing systems administrators to deploy
Fedora in environments requiring greater availability and clustered file
systems. JBoss Application Server (AS) 7 has also been added to Fedora 17;
this fast, lightweight, and modular application server allows you to run
full Java EE applications. oVirt, a server virtualization management system
with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, is also included. The
automatic multi-seat feature enables multiple, concurrent end-users to
utilize a desktop from a single machine, which any systems administrator
can relish. And we couldn't possibly write this without talking about our
foray into Hot Dogs as a Service (HDaaS)... oh, just kidding, we just had
to make a cloudy joke. In all seriousness, though, OpenStack, a collection
of services that can be used to set up and run cloud compute and storage
infrastructure, has been updated to the latest release, 2012.1 (Essex), in
Fedora 17.
