---- Open Seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee ----
Tom "spot" Callaway[1] on Wed Sep 1 20:10:00 UTC 2010 announced[2],
"The Fedora Packaging Committee has an open seat. Are you interested in
helping to decide the packaging standards and guidelines for Fedora? Are
you familiar with the inner workings of RPM and its spec file magic? Do
you make the wiki cry? Does trac tremble in your wake? Are you
clinically insane? (Well, the last one isn't mandatory, but it helps.)
Members of the Fedora Packaging Committee get:
* My neverending gratitude
* The ability to tell people "I'm on the Fedora Packaging Committee"
* Good karma
* Cake
The FPC meets weekly on IRC, Tuesdays at 1600 UTC
If you're interested in this seat, please email[3] me."

---- Please remember to update rawhide ----
Kyle McMartin[1] from the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee on Thu
Sep 2 01:02:43 UTC 2010 announced[2],
"FESCo has heard a few complaints of cases where packages were newer
(insome cases several versions newer) in F-14 than in rawhide. So this
is just a friendly reminder that you should be updating rawhide
(dist-f15) in addition to branched (dist-f14.) Inheritence from F-14
into rawhide isn't automatic if there's been a separate build in
dist-f15 since the branching, so please keep in mind updating rawhide as
well.
While I'm reminding, just another friendly reminder that you must submit
update requests using bodhi for updates in F-14 as well, as there has
been a bit of confusion about that as well."

---- Please remember to update rawhide ----
Tom Lane[1] on Thu Sep 2 14:43:40 UTC 2010 announced[2],
"Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger at gmail.com> writes: > When you do an update
in F-14 and rely on inheritance to get the package into rawhide, there
is a problem. That package will not go to rawhide until it hits stable
in F-14.
... um ... and why exactly is that the policy?'
That means, for the typical F-14 workflow of:
* build for f14.
* Push to testing in f14
* Wait one to two weeks for the package to receive some testing
* Push to stable
rawhide is left with an older inherited build until it is pushed to
stable.
Which is why this shouldn't be the policy. Rawhide should inherit the
latest completed build. It's rawhide, after all."

Requests will change to remove one more relict of the former Fedora

Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] a post regarding Fedora trademark protection:
"If you are still holding on to an old Fedora CD, T-shirt,
logo-emblazoned mouse pad - or pretty much anything bearing the
trademark - Red Hat would appreciate your assistance in asserting the
Fedora community's legal rights."

--- A Guide to Today's Top 10 Linux Distributions (PC World) ---
Kara Schiltz forwarded[1] an article discussing innovations in Fedora 14
alpha:
"Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, whose RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux) has been a commercial product since 2003. Because of that close
connection, Fedora is particularly strong on enterprise features, and it
often offers them before RHEL does.
Fedora also offers a six-month release schedule, and its security
features are excellent. While some have viewed it as a cutting-edge
distro for the Linux "hobbyist," I think improvements over the years and
widespread popularity have combined to make it a good choice for newer
Linux users as well."

Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] an article about Ksplice:
"Ksplice[2] is being offered for free to users of Fedora, the free Linux
distribution supported by Red Hat. There are future plans to have it
integrated into the Fedora distribution as well. I'm not sure if this is
a limited time offer or permanent for Fedora"

--- Test Days ---
Last week's Test Day[1] on 2010-09-02 was on preupgrade[2], the Fedora
in-place upgrade system. There was a good turnout for the Test Day, and
it exposed several serious bugs to be resolved for the Beta and final
releases of Fedora 14. Rui He provided a recap of the event[3] with a
list of the bugs discovered.
This week's Test Day[4] on systemd[5], the new initialization system
being introduced in Fedora 14, has happened already, since it was moved
up from the usual Thursday slot to Tuesday 2010-09-07. A great turnout
of testers exercised systemd extensively and did a good job of
discovering bugs to be fixed. Even though the test day itself is past,
further testing of systemd would be valuable, so if you have some free
time, do check out the page and contribute your results!
Next week's Test Day[6] on 2010-09-16 will be on translations and
keyboard layout support in the Fedora installer. These features are key
for Fedora users outside the United States, which is most of you! As
always, the Test Day will run all day in the #fedora-test-day IRC
channel. You can help out with testing using a live image or a virtual
machine, so there's no need to alter your main system, although some of
the tests do require you to complete an installation and check the
installed system. Please drop by and help make sure as many languages
and keyboard layouts as possible will be correctly supported in Fedora 14!
If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 14
cycle, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in
QA Trac[7].

--- Proven testers ---
During the QA weekly meeting of 2010-08-30[1], James Laska asked what to
do about an email from a proven tester asking to become a group sponsor
so he could sponsor new proven testers members. Adam Williamson pointed
out the proven tester wiki page already has a procedure for this[2],
albeit a fairly casual one. He recommended simply accepting the request
for now, and suggested that if anyone wanted to make the process more
systematic, they should send a proposal to the mailing list. James also
asked about the progress of proven tester metrics, and Adam pointed out
that a ticket requesting support from the Bodhi team already existed[3],
and promised to follow up on the ticket for the next meeting.

--- Outdated Firefox package in Fedora 14 ---
David Boles pointed out[1] that the Firefox package in Fedora 14 was
somewhat old. Adam Williamson contacted the maintainers and passed on
their explanation[2] that they had forgotten that Fedora 14 updates now
had to be submitted through Bodhi, and that they would soon submit a
newer Firefox package.

--- Bugzilla voting disabled ---
Kamil Paral wondered why he had recieved a mail about votes being
removed[1]. Kevin Fenzi explained that this was due to the Bugzilla
voting feature being disabled[2]. FESCo had decided the system was so
flawed it provided no useful data, and so should be disabled. They had
not known Bugzilla would send out notification emails about this. He
explained that FESCo was now looking at using CC lists or comment
quantities to provide an indication of 'popular' bugs, but that this too
was proving problematic, and pointed out a ticket where this was being
tracked[3].

--- Fedora 14 Release Notes Draft Available ---
John J. McDonough announced the availablity of the Draft version of the
Fedora 14 Release Notes[1]. The POT files for the translation team would
be regenerated nightly.
Due to a bug present in the currently available version of Publican
(2.1) which affects generation and updation of POT and PO files, the POT
files were generated using the new version of Publican, which is not yet
available in the Fedora Repos. Translators have also been requested to
report the presence of the apostrophe and quotes conversion signs in any
documents[2].

--- Libguestfs Man Pages Ready for Translation ---
The Man pages for libguestfs have been made available for translation in
.POT format via
translate.fedoraproject.org
(po-docs/libguestfs-docs.pot)[1]. The documentation .POT file has
approximately 4000 strings and the developers have been advised to not
merge the two POT files for UI and Documentaion modules as they had
earlier planned for[2].
The POT files were generated using po4a[3].

--- Proposed Process to Make Non-English Documentation Available for
Translation ---
The Spanish Translation team has been working with the Fedora
Documentation team to prepare a process to make documents written in
languages other than English to be available for translation[1]. The
need for the process arose when the Spanish team put forward a proposal
to make available a document originally written in Spanish for the
Fedora Documentation Project in English. The suggestions all indicate
that generation of English POT files would be essential to allow other
language teams to translate these documents to their language.
