[Karsten 'quaid' Wade]

In light of trying to pump up the marketing and the bug reporting, here
is a Beta release announcement:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cambridge_%28F-10%29_Beta_release_announcement

Thanks to Steven Moix for the original (in French[1]), which I adapted
for English.  Blame for the "Beta contest" is entirely on me.

Fedora 10 Beta: Cambridge's foundations are laid

Just on the heels of the Fedora Project's fifth anniversary, the Beta of
Fedora Linux version 10 (code-named Cambridge) is now available:

http://get.fedoraproject.org

There is also a Beta contest! Test five things in the Beta that are
important to you as a user. If you find a bug *and* report it, you get
the free attention of a package maintainer on a problem personally
important to you!
