Hey folks,
The Fedora Workstation WG is considering replacing several preloaded
apps with alternatives:
* Rhythmbox -> (gnome-music + Decibels[1]) or Amberol[2]
* Evince -> Papers[3]
* Totem -> Showtime[4]
Of these apps, only Papers has a currently active package review[5].
The Fedora Workstation WG would like some help from interested Fedora
Workstation users to contribute to the success of the Fedora
Workstation offering by packaging these applications in Fedora.
Members of the Working Group can help review packaging by anyone who
takes this on to package the applications in a manner consistent with
the Fedora packaging guidelines and general practices.
If anyone is interested, please let us know and we can work out
arrangements to assist new contributors. :)

# F10 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2024-09-16
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location:
https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.…
Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 41 blocker review meeting! We have 1
proposed blocker for Final.
Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time
in your local time:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker…
The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web
client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a
dedicated client of your choosing.
If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If
you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links
labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions.
Those links take you to tickets where you can vote.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how
exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the
meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs
where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the
wiki [0].

check out these links:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process
And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
the SOP on the wiki:

Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 41 blocker review meeting! We have 1
proposed blocker and 10 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta.

Especially since we have so many proposed FEs right now, it would
really help make the meeting shorter if people can vote on them today.

Hello everyone
The default wallpaper for Fedora 41 (original for Fedora 40) is now
available on both Rawhide and F41 repository.
Users running either Rawhide or the branched Fedora 41 will immediately
notice the changes after updates.
A small but notable change is the disabled supplemental wallpapers
sub-packages as the community submission remained
inactive for a long time. In consequence, spins maintainers using the
default wallpapers can safely remove that sub-package.
Download for testers and users is on
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=f41-backgrounds
