Fedora Journal?
by Jonathan Roberts
Hi all,
Some people may remember talk a while ago about creating a Fedora
Magazine of sorts, news.fp.o is how it was being referred to at the
time. The marketing team is wanting to take another stab at this idea,
temporarily known fondly as $foobar.
The basic idea is that we will create a central location for all
project created content, making it easy to schedule stuff and drive
traffic to a single location. Examples of material include the
interviews that have been run over the past few release cycles,
podcasts etc. We'd also like to work with the News team and see about
getting Fedora News published at the same location, perhaps taking
advantage of shared resources etc. Would the News team be interested
in working with us on this, and if so, what sort of functions etc
would you like/need, and what do you think the best way forward would
be?
Would love to hear feedback from people, and hoping we can work
together on this in the near future.
Kindly,
Jon

Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 182[1] for the week ending June 28,
2009.
Here are a few highlights from this week's issue. By request, we've
returned to including the contents at the top of the issue. Please let
us know what you think! Announcements starts us off with updates on
recent Fedora elections. Hot on the heels of the release of Fedora 11,
the codename for Fedora 12 has already been chosen -- read inside for
details. From the Fedora Planet, lots of great updates from the recent
FUDCon in Berlin, as well as many updates from Fedora contributors. In
Ambassador news, details from the recent Fedora 11 launch party from the
NaLUG (Napoli GNU/Linux Users Group). In Quality Assurance news, many
updates on Fedora 12 development, including discussion of improving
debugging procedure pages, rawhide acceptance plan, bugzapper updates,
and much more. Much interesting discussion in the Design beat this week
on thinking around themes for Fedora 12 based on the release name. In
Security Advisories, we're brought up to date with this week's software
patches for Fedora 9, 10 and 11. This week's issue rounds out with
updates from virtualization activities, with detail work on a libguestfs
'Super-minimized Appliance', VMWare ESX driver status, and much more! Enjoy!

In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an
aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.

--- General ---
Joseph Smidt requested[1] that all Linux distributions report bugs
upstream: "Now, assuming each major Linux distribution has hundreds of
bugs where the bug triager knows it is an issue with upstream but fails
to report it, if all these bugs would get reported I am sure an extra
100 bugs will get fixed over the next six months because of simple
things like this."
Mel Chua packaged[2] his first RPM, making notes along the way of where
documentation was lacking: "I’m actually quite impressed by how simple
the process is, and how helpful the resources are - however, my baseline
for “easy process!” is “it’s better than several weeks of blindly trying
to install Linux for the first time via stacks of floppies in 2001!” so
just because it’s “good enough” doesn’t mean it’s as good as it could be.
How can we improve this experience?"
Jeff Sheltren was interviewed[3] for the FLOSS Weekly podcast.
Dan Williams showed off[4] how easy it is to connect to a mobile
broadband connection using NetworkManager. In a later post, he
described[5] the differences between NetworkManager and ConnMan.
John Palmier attended[6] the Open Video Conference[7]. "The web was
built and exploded around the concept of open technology. Let’s continue
to make sure this is the case going forward. The last thing we want is
the web to become the domain of a few, with creativity being stifled by
restrictions in the non-open parts of the stack."
Adam Jackson explained[8] how computers (try to) identify the
capabilities (resolutions, refresh rates, etc...) of monitors by
following the EDID standard. And a new partially-compatible standard,
DisplayID that is set to replace EDID.
Jack Aboutboul announced[9] Project FooBar. While still in the early
stages, there are 5 main goals: "Centralization of Content, well
scheduled, recurring and prepared content, design which is consistent
with the philosophy of the Design team, standardized "official" feeds
for distribution of different forms of content, mechanisms for
localization and sharing the media with press or on social news sites."
Matthew Garrett complained[10] about the lack of openness at Intel.
While some parts of the company seem committed to Linux and Open Source,
other parts (notably EFI and Poulsbo) don't always integrate as nicely
with Linux as some might prefer.
Adrian Reber analyzed[11] the Fedora mirror server traffic, for the few
days following the Leonidas release. Pretty graphs ensued.
Aaron S. Hawley compared[12] cars to software (though he is certainly
not the first to do so) by quoting a post that described the ability to
take apart, modify and maintain one's own car, despite the fact that
when it comes to software, often that ability is missing.
Aaron also posted[13] a piece about "How the [IT] culture is hostile to
women". See also: FUDCon Attendee Photo[14].
Dave Malcolm wondered[15] where the word "codebase" came from.
Joshua Wulf wrote[16] about the challenges involved with "Neologisms and
Localization". Is "Parameterized" a word?
James Morris described[17] some of the upcoming changes to the security
subsystem in kernel 2.6.30.

-- Ambassadors --
In this section, we cover Fedora Ambassadors Project[1].

--- Release event in Naples ---
Gianluca Varisco reports on a Fedora 11 release event in Naples, Italy,
recently. NaLUG (Napoli GNU/Linux Users Group) organized, in
collaboration with UDU Parthenope (Unione degli Universitari), the
Fedora 11 Release Party. The location was simply perfect: a building
property of Parthenope’s University, located in the hearth of Naples.
For more on the event, visit
http://www.techtemple.org/2009/06/26/fedora-11-release-party-in-naples-it...
--- Get the word out about your F11 event ---
Fedora 11 was released on Tuesday, June 9, and with it a variety of
activities around the release will be forthcoming. As such, with the
upcoming release of Fedora 11, this is a reminder that posting your
event on Fedora Weekly News can help get the word out. Contact FWN
Ambassador correspondent Larry Cafiero at
lcafiero-AT-fedoraproject-DOT-org with announcements of upcoming events
-- and don't forget to e-mail reports after the events as well.
-- QualityAssurance --
In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1].
Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson
1. ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA
--- Test Days ---
There was no Test Day last week.
Currently, no Test Day is scheduled for next week - it is still very
early in the Fedora 12 cycle. If you would like to propose a test day
which could result in changes for post-release updates for Fedora 11, or
an early test day for Fedora 12, please contact the QA team via email or
IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[1].
1. ↑ https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/
--- Weekly meetings ---
The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-06-24. The full log is
available[2]. James Laska reported that he had not yet been able to
update the QA Goals page[3], due to lack of time.
Will Woods provided an update on the Rawhide acceptance test plan. The
plan is now available on the Wiki[4], with ten suggested test cases.
Tickets have been filed to track the creation of each test case. He
asked for anyone who was interested in this project to help write or
review the test cases. Jóhann Guðmundsson suggested adding a test case
for basic network functionality, and the others present agreed with this
suggestion.
James Laska reviewed the new schedule for Fedora 12 QA events which has
been submitted by John Poelstra[5]. He pointed out several changes he
felt were positive. The group discussed whether Test Day dates should be
added to the main QA schedule, but in the end decided they should not be.
Will Woods gave a quick further update on the status of AutoQA (which
includes the rawhide acceptance testing discussed earlier). He explained
that, once the test plans were written, it should be relatively easy to
automate them via autotest, and automation of some tests should be
complete in one or two weeks. James Laska noted that Jesse Keating had
sent a link to a presentation he would be giving on AutoQA[6], and asked
for feedback to be sent to the list.
Finally, Jóhann Guðmundsson proposed a project to improve the quality
and quantity of information contained in bug reports[7]. Will Woods
noted that abrt[8], the automated bug reporting tool, will allow the use
of plugins to configure what files or other information should be
attached to reports from particular components.
The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[9] was held on 2009-06-23. The full
log is available[10].
The meeting was dominated by a discussion of the status of the project
to integrate anaconda triage better into the BugZappers process, and to
introduce kernel triage. Andy Lindeberg and Peter Jones provided
valuable information on the anaconda process. After much discussion, it
was broadly agreed that there was no broad incompatibility between the
anaconda bug process and the BugZappers process, and with a small amount
of work, the two could be integrated: a good list of required
information for anaconda bug reports should be created, it should be
made clear that anaconda reports must be assigned to a specific anaconda
maintainer and this assignment confirmed in person via IRC or email
before being made, and volunteers to triage anaconda should already be
well versed in its workings, or receive some training before beginning
to triage actively.
The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-06-31 at 1600 UTC in
#fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-06-30 at
1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.

--- Test Day shepherding SOP draft ---
Adam Williamson announced[1] a draft SOP for the process of running a
Test Day[2], with the intent of making it easier for more people to run
Test Day events.

--- Improvement of debugging procedure pages ---
The recap mail for the QA meeting provoked a thread[1]about the best way
to improve the quality of information contained in bug reports.
Eventually, several members of the group decided to improve existing
pages explaining how to accurately identify and categorize bugs, and
what information to include when reporting them, for various components.
Work started with the page on X.org[2]. François Cami made some initial
improvements[3], Christopher Beland followed these up with some further
tweaks and suggestions[4], and Adam Williamson contributed some further
additions and addressed Christopher's suggestions.

-- Artwork --
In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].
Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei
1. ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork
--- Theming Constantine ---
From FUDCon, after the announcement of the release name for Fedora 12
Nicu Buculei launchedref[1] the talks about the graphic theme of the
next release "I am sure you are all already aware, the announcement is
official since yesterday when Paul delivered in in front of the FUDCon
audience, the release name for Fedora 12 was voted Constantine". He also
proposed a possible approach: Byzantine mosaics "When I think about it,
I had in my mind Byzantine culture (Roman emperor Constantine the Great)
and I think a graphic in the style of a Byzantine mosaic can be an
effective approach. The major trick is to leave out any religious
implications and stay only with cultural references."
Joost Elfering invited[2] everyone to think at the big picture "I think
we need to take a step back before coming up with results and examples.
i suggest we first take a look at the associations with Constantine.
these associations will be the bases for out new style. so no examples,
just conceptual works" and showed concerns about the religious
implications "this theme is really heavily based on religion on it's
own. We will probably have some angry faces just because of the name.
keeping out religion on this one will be really hard!", concerns
shared[3] also by Konstantinos Antonakoglou "You can't expect any work
of art without a religious reference" who proposed a simple take on that
"So, to keep it simple I sense that we should say: 'Hey! Byzantine art
used the mosaic art! Let's use it too.'"
Henrik Heigl chimed-in[4] with his own concerns about aggressiveness
"The Lion has a bit of an aggressive meaning, Constantine is en emperor
(also a bit aggressive) do we want the same way or make something
smoother?" and added another couple of ideas to the brainstorming "I
also had the Logo of my old University" and "Also I had the the "Lion"
we had in Fedora11 in my head and now maybe another animal", with the
animal idea ruled-out[5] quickly by Nicu "We can't go with another
animal (no, not even a panda :D), that would be to close to the previous
release."

-- Virtualization --
In this section, we cover discussion of Fedora virtualization
technologies on the @et-mgmnt-tools-list, @fedora-xen-list,
@libvirt-list and @ovirt-devel-list lists.
Contributing Writer: Dale Bewley
--- Enterprise Management Tools List ---
This section contains the discussion happening on the et-mgmt-tools list
---- Remote virt-manager VM Wizard ----
Craig Miskell was[1] "running image:Echo-package-16px.pngvirt-manager
0.7.0 on Ubuntu, connecting using SSH to [a remote]
image:Echo-package-16px.pnglibvirt running on Debian Lenny Xen-3.2.1",
and when attempting to create a new guest found "no install options are
available because:"
* "Network install" is not available unless the connection is
local, and
* Local install media and Network boot (PXE) are not available
because of the following line in create.py (around line 340):
is_pv = (self.capsguest.os_type == "xen")
Cole Robinson pointed out the latter has been fixed upstream, and
explained the former fails "Because a network install has to fetch a
boot kernel and initrd from the URL, and we have no way to tell the
remote machine to fetch these locations."

--- Fedora Virtualization List ---
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.
---- F12 Feature: Host Information ----
Richard Jones posted[1] an RFC for a feature[2] he's working on for
Fedora 12. The feature will "Allow a virtual machine to see information
and statistics from the host operating system."
For example, it will "Allow a virtual machine to look at host
information (such as number of physical, not just virtual CPUs), and
statistics like the load on the host."
Daniel Berrange noted[3] that "a core goal of this hostinfo service is
to avoid any use of networking. We don't want to presume that a guest
has a NIC, nor that the host has a configured NIC on the same LAN as the
guest." So this feature will make use of serial ports to pass queries
and responses between the guest and the host.

so-called 'supermin (super-minimized) appliance'."
Within libguestfs, "The normal appliance is a self-contained Linux
operating system, based on the Fedora/RHEL/CentOS Linux distro. So it
contains a complete copy of all the libraries and programs needed, like
kernel, libc, bash, coreutils etc etc."
"The supermin appliance removes the kernel and all the executable
libraries and programs from the appliance. That just leaves a skeleton
of config files and some data files, which is obviously massively
smaller than the normal appliance. At runtime we rebuild the appliance
on-the-fly from the libraries and programs on the host (eg. pulling in
the real /lib/libc.so, the real /bin/bash etc.)"
"The new appliance is a mere 500K, so libguestfs RPMs will be a lot
smaller. Of course that just means they will have many more
dependencies, so the amount pulled down will be the same or greater."

---- A guest fish in the pipes ----
Richard Jones patched[1] image:Echo-package-16px.pngguestfish. "This
patch adds support for pipes to guestfish, so you can pipe output from a
guestfish command through a command on the host. The canonical example is:
<fs> hexdump /bin/ls | less
Another example, looking for root backdoors in the password file:
<fs> cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '$3 == 0 { print }' | grep -v ^root:
Anything right of the first pipe symbol gets passed to the local shell,
thus expansion, redirection and so on work on that."

--- Libvirt List ---
This section contains the discussion happening on the libvir-list.
---- Safe PCI Device Passthrough ----
Mirko Raasch asked[1] "How can i start my guest with three pci devices
passed through and image:Echo-package-16px.pnglibvirt?" Starting qemu by
hand appeared to work. But virsh start produced an error:
libvirtd: 15:44:55.459: warning : pciTrySecondaryBusReset:483 : Other
devices on bus with 0000:05:01.0, not doing bus reset
Daniel Berrange recalled[2] "what libvirt is complaining about is that
there are other devices in the PCI bus which are not associated with
this guest, and thus there is no way to safely reset the device you are
trying to assign, without endangering the host OS or other guest OS."
Adding "when you launch QEMU manually there is no checking for whether
the PCI devices are in use by other guests, or by the host OS. So while
it may launch QEMU, it is not running safely, and eg, if your guest OS
does a PCI bus reset it could kill/harm your host OS."
PCI device passthrough is a new feature[3] in Fedora 11.

---- VMware ESX driver status update ----
Matthias Bolte continued[1] work (FWN #177[2]) to create a VMware ESX
driver for libvirt.
Matthias is currently "working on the VMX config to domain XML mapping
for dump/create XML" using the VMware Infrastructure API[3].

--- General ---
Chitlesh Goorah explained[1] how to use the newly-packaged MinGW
cross-compiler suite in Fedora 11, by cross-compiling gerbv for Windows.
Daniel Walsh answered[2] the question "What Happened to setroubleshoot?"
in Fedora 11 and provided a preview of some sealert changes planned for
Fedora 12. In another post, he added[3] some information about the
differences between running a daemon directly versus with an init
script, and how that can cause permissions problems with SELinux.
Greg DeKoenigsberg described[4] some of what he has been up to recently,
an "attempt to change the way that computer science education works."
James "Ben" Williams wondered[5] what will become of Fedora installation
CDs. Robert 'Bob' Jensen also chimed[6] too. For those of interested,
see the F12 Feature Proposal[7].
Peter Hutterer posted[8] Part 3 in the series on XI2 Recipies, this time
with code snippets for gathering information about X Input devices.
Jeremy Katz requested[9] that people help test isohybrid a new tool that
"lets you take an ISO image, post-process it and then be able to either
burn the ISO to a CD or write it to a USB stick with dd".
Karsten Wade suggested[10] that there should exist some sort of
"rpm2all" tool that could take an RPM file and automatically build
installable releases for any distribution.
Josh Boyer mentioned[11] the fact that for F13, PPC will no longer be a
primary architecture, and there are a number of tasks to be done in
order to make the transition as smooth as possible. Those interested
should join the PowerPC SIG.
Michael DeHaan offered[12] to personally help people get started with
hacking on Cobbler. "If you are interested in datacenter automation
around Cobbler, from July 6th to July 10th, I’m going to offering myself
up to teach folks how to hack on the Cobbler project."

-- QualityAssurance --
In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1].
Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson
1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA
--- Test Days ---
There was no Test Day last week, as we finally released Fedora 11.
Currently, no Test Day is scheduled for next week - it is still very
early in the Fedora 12 cycle. If you would like to propose a test day
which could result in changes for post-release updates for Fedora 11, or
an early test day for Fedora 12, please contact the QA team via email or
IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[1].
1. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/
--- Weekly meetings ---
The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-06-17. The full log is
available[2]. Adam Williamson reported that he had added a suggested
draft for the previously agreed change to the minimum hardware
requirements to an existing bug report[3].
James Laska reported on the Fedora 11 retrospective meeting which had
taken place the previous day, and which he, Adam Williamson, Jesse
Keating and Edward Kirk had attended to represent the QA and BugZappers
groups. All agreed that the meeting had been well-run and productive.
Jesse pointed out that the real test of its success would be if any of
the items discussed had led to actual changes within the next month or
two. James promised to update the QA team's Goals page[4] to incorporate
the lessons learned from the Fedora 11 release cycle.
The group discussed whether some kind of voice format for the meeting
would be better than IRC, but in the end there was wide agreement that
it would not be.
James Laska mentioned that the period for open feedback on proposals
stemming from the earlier Fedora Development Cycle Activity Day[5] was
nearing an end: feedback on these proposals will be accepted up to June
30th. The proposals can be found in an email from Jesse Keating[6].
Anyone interested is encouraged to read the proposals and provide feedback.
Will Woods reported on progress of the AutoQA project. He noted that one
of the FAD proposals, israwhidebroken.com[7], is essentially an AutoQA
project, and so he has established it as the first AutoQA milestone,
with a set of tickets[8]. He noted that Jesse Keating is working on
packaging autotest[9], which will be the harness used to create the
automated tests for this project. Jesse pointed out that autotest
required Google Web Toolkit, which is not yet packaged either, so
packaging autotest is a big project, but he was confident that he will
be successful.
The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[10] was held on 2009-06-16. The full
log is available[11]. Adam Williamson reported that Brennan Ashton is
working on having a components page as part of the triage metrics
system[12].
Edward Kirk reported on his attempts to find out how the critical
component list was generated so it can be accurately updated. He later
spoke with Jon Stanley and Jesse Keating and was advised to use the
critical path packages proposal[13] to help re-generate the list. He
will report further next week.
Adam Williamson reported on the progress of the kernel triage project.
He had sent an email to all interested parties, asking the kernel team
to provide information on the current workflow used for kernel bugs, but
had not yet received a reply, so this project is currently waiting on
that important information from the kernel team.
Adam Williamson also reported on a request received from the EPEL
team[14] for some help with a Bug Day they have planned for July
11th[15]. Kevin Fenzi, who is part of the EPEL project, provided some
explanations: a copy of RHEL is not required to help, Bugzappers could
help with only a CentOS box, or even just Fedora in some cases. Help
asked of the Bugzappers team is mostly in typical Bugzappers tasks of
triaging and pinging dormant bugs for further information. The EPEL
project follows the Fedora bug workflow. The group agreed that they
would be happy to help out with the Bug Day, and asked the EPEL project
to provide more information closer to the date.
The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-06-24 at 1600 UTC in
#fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-06-23 at
1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.

--- Improved and more detailed QA / Release Engineering scheduling for
Fedora 12 ---
John Poelstra announced[1] that he had worked on a draft for an improved
and more detailed schedule for release engineering tasks for Fedora 12,
which also affects QA. He suggested that "we should move to more of a
standard software model (just as we did with the naming of the schedule,
etc.) where there is more separation between Releng and QA. IOW, Releng
provides the service of packing the bits and composing an installable
distro and QA provides the service of testing them and giving a thumbs
up/down on them", and asked "What tweaks should I make to better reflect
QA's needs?" The proposed schedule has blocker bug reviews happening the
Friday before key freezes, exact dates for release engineering composes,
and exact dates for compose testing. James Laska replied[2] with broad
support for each of the proposals.

--- Installer test plan ---
Liam Li announced[1] a test plan for installation for Fedora 12[2], and
asked for feedback. James Laska replied[3], noting that he had made some
minor changes to the Wiki page, and providing some comments on the plan.
He pointed out that it may be a good idea to consider the yum install
cleanup feature[4] in the plan, and suggested only listing the test
priority order once.

--- Rawhide acceptance test plan ---
Will Woods announced[1] the creation of a Rawhide acceptance test
plan[2], which is part of the israwhidebroken.com proposal discussed
during the weekly meeting (see above). This outlines the overall set of
features which should be tested to determine if Rawhide is currently in
a usable state or not. Jóhann Guðmundsson suggested[3] a test for
whether a basic wired network connection could be established. Adam
Williamson suggested[4] a test for whether basic input (keyboard and
mouse) are working. Tom London suggested[5] a test for encrypted root
filesystems, but Will explained[6] that this was beyond the scope of
basic functionality testing.

--- Fedora at SELF ---
Fedora was on hand in a big way at the SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF) last
weekend in Clemson, S.C.
Over 500 people attended the inaugural event, which instantly put itself
on the national Linux fest map.
Fedora project leader Paul Frields gave one of the keynotes at the fest,
and the Fedora booth rolled out not only Fedora 11, but also some new
swag, including case badges and tattoos, which were a hit.
A Fedora Activity Day which covered a wide variety of topics was also
held on Sunday.
More on the event at http://jbwillia.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/self-2009/
and at http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=2562
--- Fedora 11 released ---
Fedora 11 was released on Tuesday, June 9, and with it a variety of
activities around the release will be forthcoming. As such, with the
upcoming release of Fedora 11, this is a reminder that posting your
event on Fedora Weekly News can help get the word out. Contact FWN

-- Artwork --
In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].
Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei
1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork
--- Looking Forward to Fedora 12 ---
After Thomas Kole asked[1] about what is the Fedora 12 theme "I really
want to create a wallpaper for f12, but what is the theme?" and Nicu
Buculei pointed[2] it will be announced in approximatively one week "I
believe the result is expected to be announced next week at FUDCon",
Martin Sourada started the debate[3] about tht process for to be
used"what's the theming process for F12?" and provided a first sketch
"1. sketching the base concepts[...] 2. get initial approach wallpapers
into Alpha[...] 3. have most of the artwork covered by Beta[...] 4.
polish for RCs and Final".
Nicu further outlined[4] the tight schedule "According to the schedule,
we have Alpha freeze on 2009-08-04 and Alpha release on 2009-08-18",
Martin mentioned[5] some past problems to avoid "First of all we need to
make clear it's not competition, but we still need more than one
designs" and Máirín Duffy advanced[6] a possible different approach "I
wonder if we could take an approach instead of creating the base image
from scratch this time, to go out and search the best of openly-licensed
content and try to provide a thematic selection?", which was disliked[7]
by Nicu "is like us dropping the ball and acknowledging we are not able
to create ourselves something good enough", Martin[8] and Samuele
Storari[9] "I hope we will not stop create, and, I think we may work
again in the contest mode", but also Martin noticed[10] how the old
process has put a lot unreasonable stress on Máirín's shoulders "One of
the things I remember from the past releases are your all-nighters that
saved us from disasters, especially considering you are doing it in your
spare time..."
After a few more rounds of debate, Máirín Duffy proposed[11] a plan: "I
think I really like the requirement that the default be: original,
vector, abstract, theme-related. And that we pick, let's say as
originally proposed, 4 works from the creative commons / openly-licensed
community that are related to the theme as well and have the following
breakdown: 2 general appeal / any age group, 1 appeal to children, 1
appeal to women" which was positively received, with a possible addition
by Nicu Buculei[12] "- a larger "extras" package (but not very large)
yummable from the repository and *maybe* also on the install DVD; a huge
gallery with *everything* available online, where people can browse with
Firefox and use it's "set image as desktop background" option."
Once the process is defined, it will be widely publicised so the larger
community can take part into it "process announced in Fedora Weekly news
& Fedora Forum; process announced on Planet fpo; each phase of the
process announced in FWN & on Planet FPO & Fedora Forum; maybe some kind
of podcast, www.fpo banner, some kinds of publicity that way to get
people involved."

qa beat done
by Adam Williamson
