Hi,
just a heads up; the current plan is to officially announce EPEL on Thursday, 26th 2007. Yes, that's one week later that estimated last week, as we need a bit more time to fix all broken deps before the announcement.
While at it: Note that new and updated packages for EPEL will go to into EPEL-testing repo after the announcement (¹) and get moved to the proper repo at a later point of time. The plan is to do the move from testing to the proper repo in parallel with the "quarterly" EL-releases like RHEL 5.1.

(¹) -- except security updates and critical bugfixes of course

Have you folks decided where and how the announcements should be send?
Fedora announce list RHEL 4 and 5 lists and announce lists Red Hat press release Other news sites

Karsten, what is our plan exactly? I'd really like to see some announcement got out -- it doesn't have to be businesswire, but some linux-sites will likely pick it up if we just send some sane stuff in mail in their direction.

As long as we include the announcement in our FWN, it should be picked by most popular Linux news sites. Regards,

...and likely only Fedora users will read the FWN -- but those are not exactly EPEL's target audience. Heck, and even some of the Fedorians might miss it, as the FWN are quite long (/me wonders if it should have a "summary" in the beginning for those that that just want a quick overview -- but that's a different topic).
I think EPEL deserves a real announcement (e.g. like a Fedora release, but a bit smaller).

Have you thought about an article for Redhat Magazine[1] ? I think that's quite popular with RHEL subscribers etc. and would give the opportunity for a hands-on intro to EPEL

Announcing to LWN is also known to work :).

That's part of the spreading news list in the wiki page I pointed earlier.

That would be really great; if you need help/feedback just come here (or ask me or someone else that's heavily involved in EPEL in private).
Thx for helping Rahul.
