Fedora 22 End Of Life
by Mohan Boddu 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

As of the 19th of July 2016, Fedora 22 has reached its end of life for updates and support. No further updates, including security updates, will be available for Fedora 22. A previous reminder was sent on 22nd of June [0]. Fedora 23 will continue to receive updates until approximately one month after the release of Fedora 25. The maintenance schedule of Fedora releases is documented on the Fedora Project wiki [1]. The Fedora Project wiki also contains instructions [2] on how to upgrade from a previous release of Fedora to a version receiving updates. Mohan Boddu.

Flock pre-registration closing
by Paul W. Frields 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Pre-registration for the Flock conference (August 2-5 in Kraków) will close at 1700 UTC (1:00pm US-Eastern, 7:00pm Central Europe) on Wednesday, 2016-Jul-13. If you *are* pre-registered, and do not intend to come to Flock, please email <flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org> to notify the team. FAQ === Q: What does pre-registration cutoff mean? A: We will accept attendees for Flock even on the days of the conference without a registration. However, we need to set a cutoff point to calculate budget for swag, meals, etc. If you are not registered to attend Flock before Wednesday, we cannot guarantee meals, a T-shirt, or the ability to attend evening events. Q: Can I still attend Flock if I'm not pre-registered? A: Absolutely. Attendance is free and open even if you're not pre-registered. You may get, for example, a hand-printed badge, and you may not get swag. But you are still welcome to attend. Q: If I didn't pre-register, can I attend social events? A: The Flock team will try to accommodate everyone, and this has worked out in the past. However, because some social events are paid based on the number of pre-registrations, spots cannot be guaranteed for those who don't pre-register. Q: If I'm a speaker, should I be pre-registered? A: Yes, you should be, but *YOU* are responsible for pre-registering. Visit <https://register.flocktofedora.org> to pre-register before the deadline! A reminder is also going out to speakers via their mailing list. If you have other questions, email <flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org> and the friendly Flock staff will do their best to answer. - -- Paul W.
