Fedora community SIP and WebRTC trial at FedRTC.org
by Daniel Pocock 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

We've been trialling a SIP and WebRTC service at https://FedRTC.org for about a year now. Anybody with a Fedora OpenID can request a matching SIP address in the service. For example: Fedora user ID: pocock(a)fedoraproject.org FedRTC SIP address: pocock(a)fedrtc.org The service is completely built using RHEL7/CentOS7/EPEL7 packages. Users have been able to successfully connect to the service using: - WebRTC from Firefox and Chrome on just about any OS, including mobile - softphones packaged in Fedora (GNOME Empathy, Ekiga and many others) - mobile SIP apps such as Lumicall[1] A key benefit of the service is that it federates with other communities such as the Debian SIP service[2]. People without a Fedora user ID can make calls to your SIP address using https://FreePhoneBox.net I would encourage anybody who hasn't tried the service already to do so. Please give feedback through the mailing lists for any specific softphone you try or the Free-RTC mailing list: https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/free-rtc 1. http://danielpocock.com/lumicall-rapid-provisioning-opus-and-other-enhancem… 2. https://rtc.debian.org

Fedora 23 for z Systems (aka s390x) is here
by Dan Horák 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Fedora 23 for z Systems (aka s390x) released ============================================ It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnation of one of the main Fedora editions on z Systems — Fedora Server, built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your needs mainly in the service deployment area. If that's all you need to hear, download from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/ or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading. Otherwise, read on for details. Fedora Server ------------ Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity management solution in place by lunchtime. * https://getfedora.org/server Updated Components ------------------ As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version, with improvements across the board. Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3 and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now at version 4. Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial U1F32D character. Downloads, upgrades, documentation, and common bugs --------------------------------------------------- You can start by downloading Fedora 23: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/ If you are upgrading from a previous release of Fedora, refer to: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading Read the full release notes for Fedora 23: * https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Release_Notes/ Fedora 23 common bugs are documented at: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F23_bugs This page includes information on several known bugs in Fedora 23. Please be sure to read it before installing! z Systems specific issues are then being documented at: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x/23 Contributing ------------ We hope you're as excited as we are about Fedora 23 and look forward to exploring it yourself. Don't forget — Fedora never stands still as we're always working towards a new and better release by sharing our work with the world. Want to be part of the fun? It's easy to get involved. There are many ways to contribute to Fedora, even if it's just bug reporting. You can also help translate software and content, test and give feedback on software updates, write and edit documentation, design and do artwork, help with all sorts of promotional activities, and package free software for use by millions of Fedora users worldwide.

Migration of the mailing-lists to Mailman3 and HyperKitty
by Aurelien Bompard 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Dear list users, The Fedora Engineering team has been working on a new system for our mailing lists. Mailman 3 came out earlier this year and it has a new shiny web UI: HyperKitty. The Fedora Hosted lists will be migrated on November 16th, and the Fedora project lists later in the week. After migration you should be able to use the new hyperkitty UI to post and read the lists if you choose or continue to get emails in the traditional way. There may be some changes in some headers, so if you filter your list emails be ready to adjust your filters. See wiki page below for details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman3_Migration Some lists using mailman2 features not yet available in mailman3 will be migrated later. More information as well as current lists migrated, being migrated and deferred for migration can be found at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailman3_Migration/Status If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the infrastructure list: infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org. If you find a problem or issue, please file a fedora infrastructure ticket and we will work to fix things for your case or bug: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ The Fedora Infrastructure team

Fedora 23 is here!
by Matthew Miller 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Fedora 23 released ================== It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnations of the three main Fedora editions — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Cloud, and Fedora Server, each built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your needs in different areas. Fedora 23 is also available in alternate desktop Spins, curated software Labs, and special images for the ARM processor architecture. If that's all you need to hear, download from https://getfedora.org/, or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading. Otherwise, read on for details. Fedora Workstation ------------------ If you're a software developer, laptop or home user, hobbyist, enthusiast, or student, Fedora Workstation is perfect for you. Fedora Workstation includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop, which makes your everyday computing simple, polished, and pleasant. Experience the sleek interface and powerful tools for yourself — download Fedora Workstation now. * https://getfedora.org/workstation Fedora Server ------------ Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity management solution in place by lunchtime. * https://getfedora.org/server Fedora Cloud ------------ Build scale-out computing with Fedora Cloud. The Fedora Cloud Base image provides a minimal OS platform which can be downloaded for use in OpenStack, or launched directly into EC2. Fedora Atomic Host takes things in a more radical direction, providing a specialized system for running Docker containers and Atomic Apps. Now with Fedora 23, Fedora Atomic Host will be updated on a two-week cycle to keep at the edge of emerging technology. Download or launch a Fedora Cloud image for your chosen cloud provider, or as a Vagrant box for local development. * https://getfedora.org/cloud/ Spins, Labs, and ARM -------------------- Fedora Spins are alternative desktops for Fedora that provide a different experience than the standard Fedora Workstation edition. For instance, the Fedora KDE and Fedora Xfce spins provide popular alternatives to GNOME for Fedora users who enjoy the KDE or Xfce experience. Fedora 23 also introduces a Cinnamon spin, which provides a "traditional" desktop layout with the modern GNOME 3 shell. * https://spins.fedoraproject.org Fedora Labs are curated collections of software maintained by members of the Fedora Community where you can find updated live media focused on Games, Design, Robotics, and more. These may be installed on their own or as add-ons to existing Fedora installations. * https://labs.fedoraproject.org We also provide a version of the Fedora operating system tailored for running in on ARM-based systems, previously mixed into the Spins page but now with a dedicated download page. * https://arm.fedoraproject.org Updated Components ------------------ As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version, with improvements across the board. Of particular note, Fedora Workstation includes the GNOME 3.18 desktop environment and the Libre Office 5.0 office suite. Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3 and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and Fedora Workstation to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now at version 4. Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial U1F32D character. Downloads, upgrades, documentation, and common bugs --------------------------------------------------- You can start by downloading Fedora 23: * https://getfedora.org/ If you are upgrading from a previous release of Fedora, refer to: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading Read the full release notes for Fedora 23: * https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Release_Notes/ Fedora 23 common bugs are documented at: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F23_bugs This page includes information on several known bugs in Fedora 23.
