30 Nov '18

Hi, As of the 30th of November 2018, Fedora 27 has reached its end of life for updates and support. No further updates, including security updates, will be available for Fedora 27. Fedora 28 will continue to receive updates until 4 weeks after the release of Fedora 30. The maintenance schedule of Fedora releases is documented on the Fedora Project wiki [0]. The Fedora Project wiki also contains instructions [1] on how to upgrade from a previous release of Fedora to a version receiving updates. Regards, Mohan Boddu.

Today we are starting the Nomination & Campaign period during which we accept nominations to the "steering bodies" of the following teams: * FESCo (Engineering) (5 seats) [1] * Fedora Council (1 seat) [2] * Mindshare (1 seat) [3] This period is open until 2018-Nov-28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, please check with them to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before submitting their name. The nominees can already start preparing their answers for questions in the Election Questionnaire. The questions can be found in the template files[4]. Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue[5]. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the interviews to the Community Blog [6] a day before the start of the Voting period (2018-Dec-06). Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2018-Dec-05) will be disqualified and removed from the election. Nominees may submit their interview answers immediately and may edit them until the end of the interview period. Nominees are encouraged to begin their interview answers as soon as they accept their nomination. As part of the Campaign people might also ask questions to specific candidates on @devel mailing list, if they want. The full schedule of the December 2018 Elections is available on the Elections schedule[7].

Say thanks during Fedora Appreciation Week (Nov. 5-11)
by Justin W. Flory 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

This year, the first-ever Fedora Appreciation Week will run from Monday, November 5th to Sunday, November 11th. Fedora Appreciation Week is an annual event organized by the Fedora Community Operations (CommOps) team. It’s a week-long event to celebrate efforts of Fedora Project contributors and to say “thank you” to each other. This year, the Appreciation Week runs during the fifteenth anniversary of the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project has changed in many ways since 2003, but not the importance of our contributor community. This is a week to celebrate the friends, colleagues, and contributors who are part of this fifteen-year open source saga. Learn more about the event here. https://fedoramagazine.org/say-thanks-appreciation-week-2018/ -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
