Frields 2008-12-01T17:19:10 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2471 Hello there, While astronomers took first ever pictures of other planetary systems [1] last month, the fedora community was building its own planetary systems. Some say one planet isn't enough, other strive to enlarge their own planet. While F-10 Cambridge elevates the performance barrier and much more, other planetary spins have been geared to specific applications. Ladies and Gentlemen, the following spins have also been released together with Fedora 10 Cambridge release to ensure that you will be the most productive in your specific work environment with opensource software: - Fedora Electronic Lab - Fedora KDE - Fedora Edu-Math - Fedora XFCE - Fedora AOS - Fedora Developer - Fedora BrOffice For more details, please visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/10 All these official spins can be downloaded at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/ for both i386 and x86_64 architectures as LiveCDs or LiveDVDs.

In this instance, that date would be December 25. At today's FESCo meeting [1], it was decided to slightly deviate from this policy. This decision was made in order to avoid having it happen over the holidays, since according to policy, EOL would have been on Christmas Day. It was therefore decided to extend the end-of-life date of Fedora 8 to Jan 7, 2009. After this time, there will be no more updates, including security updates, issued for Fedora 8, and new builds will no longer be allowed in koji, our buildsystem. Also at or shortly after that time, all bugs open against Fedora 8 will be closed, since no more updates will be made. Thanks! -Jon [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-November/msg02014.html Jon Stanley 2008-11-27T05:34:01 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2469 The Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 2 December 2008, at 1900 UTC on IRC Freenode. The Board has settled on a schedule that puts these public IRC meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. Therefore, the next following public meeting will be on 6 January 2008. For these meetings, the public is invited to do the following: * Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. This channel is read-only for non-Board members. * Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone. The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting. This should limit confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Paul Paul Frields 2008-11-27T18:39:11 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2468 Paul W. Frields 2008-11-27T05:26:20 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2467 The Cooperative Bug Isolation Project (CBI) is now available for Fedora 10. CBI (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/) is an ongoing research effort to find and fix bugs in the real world. We distribute specially modified versions of popular open source software packages. These special versions monitor their own behavior while they run, and report back how they work (or how they fail to work) in the hands of real users like you. Even if you've never written a line of code in your life, you can help make things better for everyone simply by using our special bug-hunting packages. We currently offer instrumented versions of Evolution, The GIMP, GNOME Panel, Gnumeric, Nautilus, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, and SPIM. Download at <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/>. We support PackageManager, yum, apt, and many other RPM updater tools; see <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/repo-config.html> for customized configuration help for any of our supported distributions and updater tools. Or just download and install <http: Ben Liblit 2008-11-26T21:08:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2466 Outage Notification - 2008-11-30 06:00 UTC There will be an outage starting at 2008-11-30 06:00 UTC, which will last approximately 12 hours.
