FESCo and Board Election information
by Kevin Fenzi 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

With a Fedora release coming soon, it's also time for Fedora Elections. Both the Fedora Project Board and the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) will have open seats during this election cycle. Nominations for these seats opened on Saturday, October 23, 2010. You can nominate yourself, or someone else. It's recommended if you intend to nominate someone else that you consult with that person first. The entire election schedule, and other important information for all nominees, is posted on the wiki's main Elections page, and the specific nomination pages for the Board and FESCo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_nominations https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Development/SteeringCommittee/Nominations You can also find more information about both these at their main wiki pages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FESCo If you would like to make a difference in the Fedora community and feel you can help these important bodies make good decisions, please do consider serving. Watch for upcoming town hall meetings, and chances to ask your questions to the slate of candidates. Kevin

Filled Seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee
by Tom Callaway 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

The Fedora Packaging Committee has filled its open seat. James Antill has accepted the invitation to help Fedora improve and expand our Packaging Guidelines. This was a difficult decision, as we had many interested (and qualified) candidates, and I would encourage any of them to attend and participate in our public IRC meetings. The Fedora Packaging Committee meets on Freenode IRC, in #fedora-meeting, every Wednesday at 1600 UTC. Thanks, ~spot

Fedora 14 Final Change Deadline Reached
by John Poelstra 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

As a reminder, we have reached the Final Change Deadline for Fedora 14. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Change_deadlines "After the change deadlines for the Final release no more updates are made to the branched development repository (e.g. /pub/fedora/linux/development/14). The only exceptions are accepted blocker and "nice to have" bugs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process All updates after this time are considered zero day updates of the release, and are pushed to the updates repository which is available on the public availability date. For example, the repository for Fedora 14 is /pub/fedora/linux/updates/14." John
