Insight and Fedora Weekly News
by Ruth Suehle
A group of interested people gathered today to discuss breathing some
new life into Fedora Weekly News (minutes below). What we concluded was
that we'd actually like to breathe some life into Insight and for FWN to
become an arm of that. To expound, here's the proposal:
- suehle, jbrooks, and iambryan have volunteered as editors
- We'd like to expand Insight to be more blog, web-magazine-style with:
- Short, informative content like you might think of FWN for
- Longer form stories, interviews, and articles
- The technical content that Fedora used to create to some extent
for Red Hat Magazine (which is in high demand but no longer exists)
- Cultivated content from Planet
- The content that Insight was already meant for, like Board
meeting minutes or announcements
- Fedora Weekly News would then become the weekly email newsletter of
highlights from what had been published on Insight that week.
- We'd like to see at least two writers/cultivators-of-content per beat
What we're looking for now is for someone to shout, "good idea!", "bad
idea!", or "I was already halfway through with something like that!"
before we continue down the path. "I'd like to help with a beat!" is
also a good answer. :-)
Thanks!
Ruth

I'm a huge fan of WordPress, so no objection here. I just wouldn't want
to throw away any significant effort that has been put into Drupal
features since I know how much work that is.

by Jaroslav Reznik
Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for this important
meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 18 Beta.
Thursday, November 22, 2012 @20:00 UTC (15:00 EDT/12:00 PST/21:00 CET)
"Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet
to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release.
This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting."
"Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of
the QA Team."
For more details about this meeting see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting
In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 18 Beta Blocker list:
http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/18/beta/buglist
Btw. Thanksgiving conflict is known, but we decided not to move
Go/No-Go to Wednesday because of limited time for testing, let me
know in case of (strong) objections.

To get more announce on the announce mailing list?
by Kévin Raymond
Hi there,
[Should I used the marketing mailing list instead?]
Actually we have got really few announce on the announce mailing list.
This list is used to send some important information to our users.
The last announce is the Alpha release. Which was centuries ago.
Couldn't we come up with a general announce explaining the F18 release slip?
I am sure that many users have no idea why the F18 won't be release this month.
On an other side, couldn't we get more announce on that list? For example,
voting period? Or some other Fedora community important facts... (Yeah,
marketing should have more ideas...).
I know that announce has to be a low traffic mailing list, just few ideas
spotted there.
Also, please note that we changed the start.fedoraproject.org webpage, and it
still have an old announce. Should we remove the one older than a month?

Fedora 18 Beta to slip by two weeks, Beta release date is now Nov 27
by Jaroslav Reznik
Today at FESCo meeting [1] it was decided to slip Fedora 18
Beta release by *two* weeks to give the Installer team,
the new upgrade tool and Secure Boot time to finish and
polish these features to meet our release quality standards.
As a result, Fedora 18 Beta will be pushed out by two weeks,
the development is re-opened, with tentative Change Deadline
on Nov 13. Fedora 18 Beta release is now Nov 27. Anyone with
objections to enter Beta freeze on Nov 13 can file a ticket
with FESCo on the Nov 12/13 and it will be discussed in the
ticket or on special meeting.
Final Change deadline is rescheduled to Dec 18 with final
Fedora 18 release on 2013 Jan 08 [2].
The Go/No-Go meeting on Thursday, Nov 08 is cancelled.
Please, work on your blocker bugs and help testing the
Fedora 18, so we will be able to release in the beginning
of January.

Home for fedocal
by Pierre-Yves Chibon
Hi all,
Several people have asked me where the fedocal project lives and where
they could test and report bugs and make RFE, so I'm glad to announce,
we found a home for fedocal:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedocal/
Note that I managed to get Johan Cwiklinski (fas: trasher) on board to
make of Márín's design [1] a reality (and he is already busy with that!)
So please, open as many tickets as you would like and let's see if we
can make something of fedocal :)
Thanks,
Pierre
