As such, the following changes are being implemented: 1) Effective already: The "cvsextras" group is now known as "packager." A bit more descriptive to start. 2) Effective in the next few days, members of "packager" formerly "cvsextras" will only have access to packages they own or comaintain directly. 3) Users who need to modify packages distro-wide can be added to the "uberpackager" group. Anyone who maintains 8 or more packages or is a sponsor in the "packager" group is in this group already. IF YOU NEED THIS ACCESS, IT SHOULD COST NO EFFORT TO GET. All members of the group are sponsors for the group as well, and sponsoring another individual is intended to be a low-to-no effort process. If they haven't broken the entire distro recently, and you haven't seen them talking about "porting Fedora to internet" on devel-l Casey Dahlin 2008-08-13T21:16:48 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2409 Paul W.

Frields 2008-08-06T11:17:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2406 This is a notice that the official Fedora Privacy Policy has been updated. A brief notice can also be found on the main website (http://fedoraproject.org). Previously, Fedora was using the generic Red Hat Privacy Policy, which did not make sense for a number of reasons. Fedora now has its own Privacy Policy at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/PrivacyPolicy I would encourage everyone to read the new Privacy Policy. This policy went through a public review process on the fedora-advisory-board mailing list, and was approved by the Fedora Board on August 5th, 2008. This new policy defines that more of your "Personal Information" is public by default. This will make things much easier for the daily workings of Fedora, however, if you wish for this "Publicly Available Personal Information" to be kept private, it is possible to do so in the Fedora Account System. It also enables us to be able to generate useful statistics about Fedora's ongoing progress. Last, but not least, it got rid of a lot of useless Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-08-05T19:15:47 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2405 Jesse Keating 2008-08-05T14:38:49 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce/2404 Fedora Weekly News Issue 137 ============================= Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 137 for the week ending August 2, 2008. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue137 Fedora Weekly News keeps you updated with the latest issues, events and activities in the Fedora community.
