Hello all, Fedora 33 will go end of life for updates and support on 30th of November 2021. No further updates, including security updates, will be available for Fedora 33 after the said date. All the updates of Fedora 33 being pushed to stable will be stopped as well. Fedora 34 will continue to receive updates until approximately one month after the release of Fedora 36. 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.

Action required: Account system IRC pointer reset
by Kevin Fenzi 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Greetings everyone. As you know, we migrated a while back from freenode.net to libera.chat for our IRC networks, and we also migrated to a new account system. After these moves, we would like to clear any IRC information that could be no longer correct and allow users to update their accounts with the correct information. The old Fedora account system had a ‘irc nick’ field. The new Fedora account system has a ‘Chat nicknames’ section. In that section you can put IRC nick(s) or Matrix Ids. If you do not qualify them, they are assumed to be for the libera.chat (IRC) and fedora.im (matrix) networks. Groups in both the old and new account system have a details section often containing links to mailing list and irc channel. On 2021-11-10 we are going to remove from the account system all users ‘Chat nicknames’ values and adjust all groups irc channel links from freenode.net to libera.chat. Users are encouraged to login after this time and enter their current and correct Chat nicknames. Sorry for the trouble, we want to make sure our infomation is current and accurate. kevin
