[Test-Announce] FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders
Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say bonjour!) I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the upcoming FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012. If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so, the ticketing system is now open for those requests. Requests will be accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora, and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request. To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps: 1: Pre-register at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration - and put an X in the $$$ column 2: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris: There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably, our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate in and learn about open source projects. OWF had nearly 2000 attendees last year. Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :) We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.

[Test-Announce] Fedora Board appointment
I am very delighted to announce that John Rose (aka inode0) will be joining the Fedora Board in the final appointed slot for this cycle (seat A4). Many of you know John from his work in the Ambassadors team and his excellent election wrangling for many election cycles, as well as being a familiar face in FUDCon planning, and his care for transparency in finances (and transparency in general!). I believe he'll be a fine addition to the Board, and I look forward to his contributions and participation. As John comes on, I'd also like to thank Guillermo Gomez for his work done over the past year as the Board member who has been in this seat. You will be missed! :) A friendly reminder, also, that the Board is always happy to have community input; please feel welcome to join the Board's mailing list at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/Advisory-board to ask questions or participate in discussion.

[Test-Announce] Announcing Fedora 17. Relish it.
"At the heat of a thousand hot dog cookers, the seventeenth release of Fedora shall be forged by contributors the world over, and it will be known as: Beefy Miracle. The mustard shall indicate progress. For six months, participants in the Fedora Project shall freely contribute to the release of the distribution, in the spirit of the Four Foundations -- Freedom, Friends, Features, and First -- and moreover, they shall relish in Fun, as a community without Fun would be like a day without sunshine. Upon release, a free and open source operating system shall be available to all, catering to a variety of tastes -- those of end-users, systems administrators, and developers, with a common thread that binds them all: No, not their love for hot dogs, silly, as we certainly know that Fedora shall be created and used by those whose dietary preference could be either Beefy or Leafy. Freedom, my friends, Freedom is the Great Condiment, which shall enable all users of the Beefy Miracle to Create, Share, and Do." -- The Book of Sauerkraut, Chapter 12, Verse 529 The Beefy Miracle hath arrived. Behold, for it is available to download now: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora And lo, detailed information about this release can be seen in the release notes: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Release_Notes/ == Condiments == Frankly, we believe this is the beefiest release ever -- chock full of condiments, more commonly known as Features, to customize your experience to your tastes. We take pride in our toppings, and in our fine ingredients; Fedora 17 includes both over- and under-the-bun improvements that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free (range) software. On the desktop: GNOME 3.4 introduces many user experience improvements, including new search capabilities in the activities overview, improved themes, and enhancements to the Documents and Contacts applications. A new application, GNOME-boxes, provides easy access to virtual machines. Additionally, GIMP 2.8, the newest version of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, brings new improvements, such as single-window mode, layer groups, and on-canvas editing. For developers: You never sausage a great array of development tools! Fedora 17 includes a pre-release of Juno, the release of the Eclipse SDK expected in June 2012. Java 7 (and OpenJDK 7) is the default Java runtime and Java build toolset, and GCC 4.7.x is now the primary compiler in Fedora. Other language refreshes include shipping Ruby 1.9.3, the latest stable version of the Ruby language; PHP 5.4, the latest PHP stack; an update of Erlang to the R15 release; and the D language has been updated to the 2.058 release. Under the hood, and in the cloud: Serving up hot dogs all day long? Increase your reliability and versatility with the new enhancements to the clustering stack in Fedora 17. Load balancing and high availability improvements have been made, allowing systems administrators to deploy Fedora in environments requiring greater availability and clustered file systems. JBoss Application Server (AS) 7 has also been added to Fedora 17; this fast, lightweight, and modular application server allows you to run full Java EE applications. oVirt, a server virtualization management system with advanced capabilities for hosts and guests, is also included. The automatic multi-seat feature enables multiple, concurrent end-users to utilize a desktop from a single machine, which any systems administrator can relish. And we couldn't possibly write this without talking about our foray into Hot Dogs as a Service (HDaaS)... oh, just kidding, we just had to make a cloudy joke. In all seriousness, though, OpenStack, a collection of services that can be used to set up and run cloud compute and storage infrastructure, has been updated to the latest release, 2012.1 (Essex), in Fedora 17.

Please join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for this important meeting, wherein we shall determine the shipment readiness of F17 Final. Thursday, May 17, 2012 @ 17:00 UTC (13:00 EDT/10:00 PDT) "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 Note that we have historically had Go/No-go on Wednesdays, and Tuesdays for Final; we have been pushing the final call consistently to Thursdays, and thus (by popular demand) we are going to attempt having the meeting on Thursday itself, rather than dragging it out. The release readiness meeting will still follow this meeting, on Thursday. -Robyn ___ test-announce mailing list test-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test-announce

[Test-Announce] F17 Beta to slip by an additional week.
At the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Beta by an additional week[1]. Minutes follow below. Though the QA team was able to get through all validation testing, it was found that preupgrade was not functioning at an acceptable level, thus becoming an additional blocker which prevents us from shipping RC3, and necessitating the creation of an RC4. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. Beta will now be looking at an expected release of 2012-04-17, and F17 GA is now scheduled for 2012-05-22. This is the second one-week slip of beta. Adjustments to the full F17 schedule have been completed and now reflect the above Beta and GA dates, and high-level milestones have been updated as well on the Schedule wiki page[3]. We will be meeting again next Wednesday for another Go/No-Go meeting (2012-04-11.) All hail our QA pals and the anacondanistas for their dedication (and many, many others as well). -Robyn [1] Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-04-05/gono-go_continuation_f17_beta_rc3_part_two_or_three.2012-04-05-15.00.html Logs: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-04-05/gono-go_continuation_f17_beta_rc3_part_two_or_three.2012-04-05-15.00.log.html [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule Minutes: = #fedora-meeting-1: Go/No Go Continuation, Round Two, RC3, F17 = Meeting started by rbergeron at 15:00:38 UTC.

The upgraded system must meet all release criteria". the known workaround has too many limitations to be considered 'good enough' (adamw, 19:53:23) * Go or no-go?

[Test-Announce] F17 Beta to slip by one week.
At the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Beta by one week[1]. Minutes follow below. Despite valiant efforts by many awesome people, two new blockers appeared between RC1 and RC2, for which fixes are still incoming and will require the creation of an RC3 [2]. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. Beta will now be looking at an expected release of 2012-04-10, and F17 GA is now scheduled for 2012-05-15.

[Test-Announce] Fedora 17 Alpha is hereby declared GOLD(en mustard color)!
At the F17 Alpha Go/No-Go meeting today, the Fedora 17 Alpha release (RC4) was declared GOLD, and ready for shipment on February 28, 2012. GOLD is the color of mustard, and, as you know, mustard indicates progress. A huge thank you to everyone who made this on-time(!!!) Alpha release possible. My (occasionally inaccurate) research tells me that the last time we shipped an Alpha according to schedule was Fedora 10. That is some excellent progress, in my humble opinion :) Meeting details can be seen here: Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-02-22/f17_alpha_go_no-go_meeting.2012-02-22-22.00.html Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-02-22/f17_alpha_go_no-go_meeting.2012-02-22-22.00.txt Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-02-22/f17_alpha_go_no-go_meeting.2012-02-22-22.00.log.html Full minutes are posted below.

[Test-Announce] Announcing the release of Fedora 16.
The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the release of Fedora 16
("Verne").
Fedora is a leading-edge, free and open source operating system that
continues to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new
release about every six months. Fedora 16 brings exciting new features
for desktop users, for system administrators, and for developers.
Highlights of these features can be found below. If the mere mention of
Fedora 16 is all you need, download options can be found at:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
For detailed information, see the release notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/
== Dedication==
During the preparation of Fedora 16, the computing world lost one of its
great contributors: Dennis Ritchie. Ritchie co-invented Unix and the C
language. He also co-authored The C Programming Language, a book that
taught many programmers just at the time personal computing was
exploding. Without Ritchie computing would be nothing like it is today.
A humble man, not well-known outside his field, Dennis will always be
remembered by those of us who practice the craft. Thank you, Dennis.
== What's New in Fedora 16? ==
For desktop users: a journey to the center of the desktop...
* GNOME 3.2, the latest update to the most popular desktop environment,
brings new features, including:
o System Settings gains an "Online Accounts" panel, which provides
a central point for managing online accounts like Google, Facebook, etc.
o A new contact management application is integrated with Empathy,
Evolution and the new "Online Accounts" settings panel
o A new document management application provides a simpler
alternative to traditional file management for both local and "in-cloud"
documents.
* KDE 4.7, the most recent version of this feature-rich desktop
environment, brings substantial updates, including:
o DigiKam 2.0 adds face detection and recognition, geotagging and more.
o An updated Plasma Workspaces window manager (KWin) makes KDE
better suited for mobile devices, and also adds improvements for desktop
users.
o A new shutdown dialog allows users with multiple operating
systems to select the OS to boot next.
For developers: Twenty thousand lines in C...
* Perl 5.14, a new version of Perl, brings many enhancements, including
Unicode 6.0 support.
* GCC Python Plugins extend GCC with Python 2 and 3, without dealing
with the C internals of GCC.
* D2: Fedora 16 is the first Linux distribution to include the newest
version of D, a systems programming language combining the power and
high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern
languages such as Ruby and Python.
For system administrators: around the world in eighty columns...
* GRUB2: This leap forward allows better configuration options and
better support for non-x86 architectures.
* New system account ID numbering: Fedora 16 starts user IDs at 1000,
providing more room for system accounts and making it easier for
administrators not have services run as root. This improves
interoperability with other Linux distributions that start user IDs at 1000.
* Chrony: Chrony provides network time protocol (NTP) client and server
pieces which are more tolerant of unstable clocks and Internet
connections which are not always on.
* ext4 driver mounts ext2 and ext3: Fedora 16 uses the ext4 driver to
mount ext2 and ext3 file systems, reducing the size of the kernel code.
* Improved virtualization tools:
o Fedora 16 provides improvements to virtual networking, making
large deployments easier.
o Virt-manager guest inspection is a unique-to-Fedora tool allowing
read-only access to guest file systems, applications, and Windows registry.
o Fedora 16 provides locking of virtual disks to prevent a disk
being used by multiple virtual machines simultaneously.
* Cloud goodies galore:
o Aeolus, a cross-cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
platform, which consists of a web-based user interface and tools for
managing cloud instances across heterogenous clouds.
o OpenStack, another IaaS platform, which takes form as a
collection of services for setting up and running a cloud compute and
storage infrastructure.
o Pacemaker-cloud, which provides application service high
availability for cloud environments.
o HekaFS, a cloud-ready version of GlusterFS, which extends the
filesystem to be suitable for deployment by a cloud provider by adding
in stronger authentication and authorization, encryption, and multi-tenancy.
This is only a taste of what is included in Fedora 16. A more detailed
list can be found at:

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting for the second half of this important meeting. Thanks to the tireless* efforts of our outstanding QA folks, testing on RC4, created late yesterday, has been ongoing all night long. We'll be having the second-and-a-half round of our F16 Beta Go/No-Go TODAY. The first half of this meeting occurred yesterday[1][2], and it was decided that we would make a stretched effort to have another RC including fixes by midnight last night that looked viable, which actually happened. (Had it not been viable, we would have called it No-Go by midnight.)

[Test-Announce] Fedora 16 Beta to slip by one week.
Late yesterday at the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Beta release of F16 by one week [1]. Minutes follow below. There are numerous unresolved blockers at this time [2], resulting in the inability to compose a viable release candidate. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. We will proceed with having the F16 Beta readiness meeting today, 2011-09-22, as previously announced on the Logistics mailing list. We will have another F16 Beta Blocker Bug meeting this Friday. The adjustments to the F16 schedule will be done as soon as humanly possible, and published to the Schedule wiki page[3]. Thanks for your patience. We will be meeting again next Wednesday for another Go/No-Go meeting. -Robyn [1]Logs: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2011-09-21/f16_beta_go_no-go_meeting.2011-09-21-21.02.log.html Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2011-09-21/f16_beta_go_no-go_meeting.2011-09-21-21.02.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/Schedule #fedora-meeting-1: F16 Beta Go/No-Go Meeting Meeting started by rbergeron at 21:02:12 UTC.

[Test-Announce] Fedora 16 Alpha to slip by one week.
Today at the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Alpha by one week[1]. Minutes follow below. There are numerous unresolved blocker bugs at this time[2], requiring the creation of an RC4 once these blockers are resolved. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. We will proceed with having the F16 Alpha readiness meeting tomorrow, 2011-08-11, as previously announced on the Logistics mailing list. We will have another F16 Alpha Blocker Bug meeting this Friday. The adjustments to the F16 schedule will be done (very late) tonight, and published to the Schedule wiki page[3]. Thanks for your patience. We will be meeting again next Wednesday for another Go/No-Go meeting. -Robyn [1] Logs: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-08-10/f16_alpha_gono-go_meeting.2011-08-10-21.00.log.html Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-08-10/f16_alpha_gono-go_meeting.2011-08-10-21.00.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16/Schedule === #fedora-meeting: F16 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting === Meeting started by rbergeron at 21:00:26 UTC.
