#187: drop warning about gpg signature hash

The https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify page has a warning:
"Please note that the Hash: SHA256 line in the CHECKSUM file is part of
the PGP signature. It does not specify the type of hash used to verify the
.iso files."
While this is true, actually the gpg hash and the checksum for the isos
are both SHA256 now. This was added back when the gpg sig was SHA1 and the
checksum was SHA256.
So, this warning just confuses people.
Consider just dropping it.

LinuxEverywhere
by RJ
Sir,
Around 20 years passed but Linux could not reach every district of
every country. Why?
Required co-ordination among Linux factories!.
Is it possible? How?
The top five Linux factories should join together to invite a
'District Center Person-from every country' on voluntary basis to
serve as "free distribution center of your distro". This can done by
advertising through the home page of the brand. There should be some
terms and condition to the persons involving with Linux distro brand
which should not suppress other distros. Then you can scrutnize to
appoint one or more District Center Person/s. Such person should use
only Linux to copy/burn the installation media. This can be done on
"trial and error basis" in certain countries such as some countries
like and India where the Tamil Nadu state government is giving off
free laptops with pre installed BOSS - a debian based Linux OS. By
doing this the huge expenses spent for sending free DVD/media can be
cut down to zero and spread Linux. Generally, the persons receiving
the DVD media uses it for his/her own purpose and keeps expecting to
receive the versiond DVD at free of cost.
At this time, you have to keep in touch with popular computer
magazines. For example the LinuxforYou magazine, PCQuest,digit and
chip from India provided many of Linux flavours on double layered DVD.
The magazine costed 150 INR. It is affordable to all computer users,
but most of the people don't know it. When your distro was provied, it
may be simply advertised on your website to the general public. This
will divert the people waiting for free promotional DVD.
May the Linux sprout on every laptops/pcs whether it is for personal
use or governmental or industrial purpose. The year 2013 is waiting
for it. Let us stop beating our own tom tom and concentrate on
spreading Linux in a costless way since the huge OS itself does not
cost anything. Then why people especially the student community is
hesitating or afraid of using Linux. Though the Linux was made by a
student who had no support from anybody.
Here I have to remind a quote said by the great swamy Vivekananda
"arise awake till the goal is reached.
Note :I am a regular user of SuSE, OpenSuSE and RedHat Linux user for
moe than 15 years for personal purpose.
Thanking you.

Fedora 19 schedule's new home & plans
by Jaroslav Reznik
Hi all! (and sorry for post to sooo many lists)
As we already have a final schedule (for a three weeks now) and we're
getting closer to release windmills - I'd like to make the schedule
easy to use for everyone (and that means for me too), to be sure
it makes sense etc. And inform you about recent changes I did to schedule
,plans but also I'm going to ask you for a little assistance.
These are a few changes/or requests for your feedback:
1. from F19, schedule moved to FPGM neutral site [1], you can get
there from standard wiki schedule page.
2. cleanup
Over the time, schedule got messy, some teams are even not aware what
a specific milestone means, why it's there, many times it's historical
relict and even collective memory does not work to remember what's
the reason to have it in schedule. On the other hand, I don't want
to remove anything people still relies on, based on my "common sense".
So please, take a look and let me know (some people already contacted
me and I work it in asap).
3. links in schedule
Thanks to Robyn, with her great TJ foo skillz, I'm now able to link
milestones in schedule to wiki and SOPs. Fedora QA asked for that,
I'll try to match as many as possible by myself but if you want to
link specific event to specific url, let me know.
4. future of scheduling, for F20+
For F19, we used a different way to schedule, based on the scope
of submitted features. It worked quite well from developers POV but
we completely forgot other teams and made the scheduling of theirs
tasks harder. I created a FESCo ticket [2], please take a look
(and comment it if you have ideas!). Also we would like to start
F20 as early as possible so the submission period should start
at F19 branch date (or shortly after) to let people propose the
ideas in advance.
5. new TJ3
And the main goal of the move, cleanups and so on is to jump on TJ3
board - I have initial port done, but a lot of changes are needed
and I'd like to start with TJ3 based schedule from a clean old one.
Btw. with any question, ping me, report ideas to schedule Trac [3]
and you know ;-)
Thanks
Jaroslav
