by Jaroslav Reznik 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

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.

# F18 Beta Blocker Review meeting #7 # Date: 2012-11-07 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net Note: The UTC time was changed. If your country switched from summer time to winter time the last weekend, your local time of the meeting should stay the same. Keeping with what we've done for the last couple of weeks, we're planning to stop around the 3 hour mark if we're not done by then and resume on 2012-11-08. We'll be running through the beta blockers and nice-to-haves. The current list of blocker bugs is available at: http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ... 1. Whether they meet the Beta release criteria [1] and should stay on the list 2. Whether they are getting the attention they need [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Beta_Release_Criteria For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, please refer to - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process For the blocker review meeting protocol, see - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting

Fedora Board, FAmSCo, FESCo Election Season, and Fedora Board Appointment.
by Robyn Bergeron 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

The nomination period for FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee), FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), and the Fedora Board is now open, and will close on November 13, 2012, at 23:59:59 UTC. This election cycle will fill the following seats for a one-year period: * Fedora Board: 2 elected seats, as well as 2 appointed seats * FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee): 4 elected seats * FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee): 3 elected seats Full information about the elections, including the elections schedule, and links to where one may nominate, can be seen here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections Running concurrently with the nomination period (and, hence, closing at the end of the nomination period), the elections questionnaire is also open for adding questions which will be posed to candidates. Following the closing of the questionnaire, candidates will be asked to answer questions relevant to the position for which they are seeking election. Questions may be added here, and, again, will also close on November 13, 2012: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F19_elections_questionnaire As noted above, there are 2 seats on the Fedora Board that will be appointed in this cycle, and I'm pleased as can be to announce that Major Hayden as the first of these appointments. I'm sure that many of you know Major from IRC (where you may know of him as rackerhacker), or perhaps from his blog posts about security or OpenStack, or from the Fedora Cloud SIG. He's enthusiastic, a fountain of knowledge, passionate about Fedora, and an all-around awesome guy, and I'm certain that he'll be able to bring some unique perspectives to the Board. Welcome, Major! Major will be taking the seat previously occupied by Toshio Kuratomi (aka: abadger1999). Toshio has served two years in his appointed seat on the Fedora Board, and I am incredibly grateful to him for his efforts, dedication, and commitment to the Board, and Fedora in general. You are a fantastic role model and contributor - thank you, Toshio! :) Further details regarding each body's election follows below. I encourage everyone to consider running for an elected seat if they have the interest and desire to do so, and to encourage others that they feel would be ideal representatives for particular Fedora bodies. Cheers! -Robyn == Fedora Board == This election cycle will fill two elected seats for the Board (seats E1 and E2). Two appointed seats (A1 and A2) will also be filled this cycle, the first of which is the aforementioned appointment of Major Hayden; the remaining seat will be appointed following the election. For more information on nominations, and the process refer to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board_nominations https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Elections https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/History == FESCo == This cycle will see candidates elected to four open seats in the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
