FC6 Test2 Freeze Slip
by Jeremy Katz 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

With the update to a 2.6.18-rc based kernel, Xen requires some more effort to get to working. Given that Xen is one of the big features for Fedora Core 6, trying to ship the second test release (and thus the feature freeze) without Xen seems like a less than ideal situation. Therefore, after discussion within the Fedora Board, we have decided to slip the freeze for test2 until Xen is working again with current kernels. Based on current estimates, it looks like this should hopefully be Monday, 24 July. We'll continue to provide updates as more information is available. Jeremy

Introducing Fedora Women
by Patrick W. Barnes 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

In an effort to support the women who use and develop Fedora, the Fedora Women program was launched last week. This new program provides a forum for communication between the women of Fedora, and it will eventually offer additional support to the women that help make Fedora what it is. The fedora-women-list mailing list is now available. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-women-list The #fedora-women IRC channel on freenode is available for live chat. Full details about the program can be found on the Fedora Women project page. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Women -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes The Fedora Project nman64(a)fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PatrickBarnes Have I been helpful?

FC6 test2 freeze slipping by a week
by Jeremy Katz 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

(I sent this to fedora-maintainers last week, but forgot to cc the larger audience) Due to a desire to integrate the DT_GNU_HASH changes for binutils and glibc (which provide an ~ 50% speedup for dynamic linking) and the necessity of doing a rebuild for these changes, we are going to slip the freeze for FC6 test2 by one week. The new freeze date will be Wednesday, 19 July 2006. This should also allow a few other things that are straggling time to be tested a little bit more in time for the feature freeze at test2. Jeremy
