Fedora 20 Beta Release Announcement Draft

[Joe Brockmeier]

Hi all,

We're coming up on the delivery date for the beta release announcement,
so I've taken the liberty of getting started on that.

You'll find the draft here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F20_Beta_release_announcement

If it looks eerily similar to the alpha announcement, that's because it
(mostly) is. Next steps are to go through and see what's been completed
between the alpha and beta stages, and add/remove things as necessary to
ensure that this hits the most important points for the beta.

Thoughts, comments, flames?

Best,

jzb

Awesome, thank you for taking care of release announcements, it's definitely
better when we don't have to write one day after release :).

I'm definitely going to help you with review of the final list, for your
inspiration, you can use http://bit.ly/GZqiNR - ON_QA can be considered
as completed by Change owners (but still, it could be reverted before 
final but that's the know risk and pretty limited). MODIFIED - some just
miss update (will follow up with owners), some could be rough but
deliverable. ASSIGNED - better not to mention them :)

But you miss the adrenaline rush!

Looking over the list, I'm not seeing a lot that has changed between the
alpha and beta. Editing now, would love any feedback.

Hi all,

I reserve the right to tweak this, especially if I find mistakes or
typos, but please look over and make suggestions, etc.

It is a wiki, of course, so feel free to edit boldly!

Best,
