Board appointment
by Paul W. Frields 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

I am pleased to announce that Christopher Aillon will continue in his appointed seat on the Fedora Project Board for this cycle. His term will last until the selection process following the release of Fedora 14, in accordance with the Board's established succession planning. Christopher's presence on the Board has helped our discussions on a number of subjects over the past year, and I look forward to having him continue that relationship. Apologies for making this announcement slightly after the beginning of elections, due to the schedule change of elections and the intervening FUDCon activity. The remaining Board appointment will be made after the close of the Board elections. -- Paul W. Frields

Fedora 12 LXDE Spin available for download
by Christoph Wickert 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Better late than never: The Fedora 12 LXDE Spin has arrived! Sorry it took so long. While the actual problems [1] were solved within 2 days, it took a little longer to create the new ISO images. FESCo, the Fedora Steering Committee, had to decide how to proceed with the new images. The decision was scheduled for last weeks FESCo meeting, but due to Thanksgiving and the holidays the meeting was canceled. Instead, we voted in Trac [2], but as you all now a ticket system is not as fast as a real time IRC meeting. After that Jesse composed the new images and we needed to test them to make sure we hit any bugs again. Testing was positive and now we have the new images available for download at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxde/ Grab them while they are still hot! I apologize once again for the delay and would like to thank everybody for his patience. A big thanks goes out to Jesse for supporting me. I now declare this bazar opened! Regards, Christoph [1] http://www.christoph-wickert.de/blog/2009/11/18/fedora-12-lxde-spin-images-… [2] https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/280

The Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Thursday, December 3, 2009, at 1700 UTC[1] on IRC Freenode. For this meeting, the public is invited to do the following: * Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. * Join #fedora-board-questions to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone. The moderator will voice people from the queue, one at a time, in the #fedora-board-meeting channel. We'll limit time per voice as needed to give everyone in the queue a chance to be heard. The Board may reserve some time at the top of the hour to cover any agenda items as appropriate. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting! -- Paul W.

Upcoming multi-day outage
by Mike McGrath 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Starting on December 12th The Fedora Project will start to move several servers, disk trays and related hardware from our current hosting location to another. This move is planned to be completed on December 15th and will ultimately provide better hosting facilities and room for growth. Since the servers will physically be loaded onto a truck and moved, this means lots of services people rely on will be down. We'll be working hard and using whatever tricks we have at our disposal to keep things as normal as possible, for example http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ will remain up (which includes the mechanism yum uses to get its mirror list). Some critical services like the buildsystem will be completely unavailable for 48 hours or longer. I'll be sending another update out as the day gets closer to remind everyone. Also this is the official ticket we're tracking with for those who care to watch it: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1845 Please do stop by #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or comment in the ticket with any questions or concerns you have. -Mike
