Fedora 18 Go/No-Go Meeting, Thursday, January 03 @ 17:00 UTC (12pm Eastern, 9am Pacific)
Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for this important meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 18. Thursday, January 03, 2013 @17:00 UTC (12:00 EST/09:00 PST/18:00 CET) "Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting." "Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of the QA Team." For more details about this meeting see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 18 Final Blocker list: http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/18/final/buglist Reminder: Fedora 18 Final readiness meeting follows the Go/No-Go meeting two hours later (19:00 UTC, 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific), even it's agreed on No-Go. There's also Fedora 18 Final Blocker Bug Review #8 meeting planned for January 02, 2013 17:00 UTC - if you have an accepted unresolved blocker bug, or proposed blocker bug assigned to you, please join the meeting to help us determine it's status.

Proposed F19 Feature: Pillow - Replace PIL (python-imaging) with Pillow, an actively maintained fork
As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement. = Features/Pillow = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow * Detailed description: The PIL project has been rather inactive lately (last release in 2009), and one big issue is the missing python 3 compatibility. There seems to be some general agreement that Pillow [1] is a likely candidate to succeed PIL, and in particular to bring python 3 support, see the discussion at [2]. Pillow describes itself as "Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library. Pillow was started for and is currently maintained by the Plone community. But it is used by many other folks in the Python web community, and probably elsewhere too." The fork author's goal is to foster packaging improvements via: - Publicized development and solicitation of community support. - Exploration of packaging problems within the fork, most noticably via adding setuptools support but also via clean up & refactoring of packaging code. Pillow is practically a drop-in replacement for PIL, except one small issue (see below). For Python 3, there is a fork which offers Py3 compatibility here [3]. The patches are planed for review and merge into Pillow, see [4].

If you have any concerns about the announcements (format, frequency, ml etc.), please let me know.

Proposed F19 Feature: 3D Printing - Bring 3D printing tools to Fedora
As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement. = Features/3D Printing = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/3D_Printing * Detailed description: There are several software needs for a 3D printer users: 3D modeling tool, such as OpenSCAD or Blender; slcing tool, to "compile" the 3D model to a set of G-Code instructions, such as Skeinforge or Slic3r; and finally a printer control software, such as Printrun, Cura or RepetierHost. Other useful application is meshlab, that allows users to view STL files, but it is already in Fedora, so it is not mentioned more. 3D Printing Feature is already being discussed on fedora-devel list, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-December/175711.html Jaroslav ___ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce
Re: Proposed F19 Feature: 3D Printing - Bring 3D printing tools to Fedora
I've spoken with the author of Skeinforge ( http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge) about getting it set up and included into Fedora. It wouldn't be a large effort, I just haven't had the time to date.

Proposed F19 Feature: DualstackNetworking - proper dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 networking
As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement. = Features/DualstackNetworking = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DualstackNetworking * Detailed description Fedora supports dualstack global networking. That means the computer with Fedora is connected to internet using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. But many important system services and applications either don't do IPv6, do it incorrectly, or don't cope with various network conditions. Unfortunately, while trying to improve IPv6 support, some IPv4 use cases became broken as well. That's why the goal of this feature is not only to support IPv4, but to support all possible real-world cases. Dualstack-ready software must cope with all possible scenarios including IPv4-only connectivity, IPv6-only connectivity and dual connectivity. The software must also cope with node-local (aka localhost) networking, which as been used by software for decades. Though it would be nice to have all applications in Fedora fixed to work in any of the scenarios, it is not feasible to test that. Therefore this feature is about major software used in servers, desktops and laptops. The list of such applications will be completed over the time. Bugs related to dualstack networking should be added to the following tracker bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883152 Also see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=ipv6blocker ___ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce
