Hello there,
We have drafted FEL'12 Release Notes, which we dearly want to hear your views.
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/papers/FEL12ReleaseNotes.pdf
As you have read on fedora planet, many universities and small startups are deploying Fedora Electronic Lab. Thus we hope that these release notes will help them deduce whether they need to upgrade to Fedora 12 or not with respect to their needs and design flow. As the document reflects, 42 packages for electronic design and simulation are now available for the EL-5 branch.
The document also entails some details about various patches we have applied on our packages, which are not yet available under upstream stable release. I'm happy to say have most of our upstream accepted most of our patches, which is good news for the opensource eco-system.
For those who are eager to try our nightly FEL spins, please find the ISO here http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/electronic-lab/
Cheers, Chitlesh Goorah

Very very nice release notes! One of the best Release notes I have ever seen for an Open Source project. Hats off first!
As a developer of GNUSim8085 I promptly found a mistake :).
Pg. 13, gsim85 is repeated. One should be gnusim8085.

Thanks, Chitlesh!
I've created a ticket for this (in general, please put todo/help requests in Trac, so the Marketing team can track them) at https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/45 with some comments - can you see if that's what you'd like us to do?
Yay! Our first consulting project! Anyone from Marketing want a client? ;)

Hello there,
Well just a few points worth noting.
Every release, I called for some documents (FEL flyer and Release Notes) review in front of the marketing team. I do this as FEL Spin maintainer and my responsibility to report back to Fedora Board since I'm granted the use of Fedora Trademark.
The Marketing team (while I understand FEL technical details might not be relevant for even a software engineer) should focus on
* Proper use of Fedora Trademark (whether little or too much) * whether FEL as a Fedora suproject is getting the desired marketing value * how the FEL spin can also give value to other Fedora "products" * Proper feedback from the community and upstream
This is basically what the review is about and this procedure should also be used for other spins or fedora subprojects.
I would _not_ make any drastic change to the layout of the PDF document or choosing another media, since I have used up all my time dedicated for FEL documents. The PDF layout is basically what you can see in any Corporate Release Notes [:1] I will consider any input that gives Fedora and upstream a marketing value with the success of FEL and any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Since you opened a ticket here, I've closed the FEL ticket https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-electronic-lab/ticket/52
