Hello all,
As of the 26th of November 2019, Fedora 29 has reached its end of life for
updates and support. No further updates, including security updates,
will be available for Fedora 29. Fedora 30 will continue to receive
updates until
approximately one month after the release of Fedora 32. 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.
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 2019-11-13 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 steering bodies are currently selecting interview questions for
the candidates.
Nominees submit their questionnaire answers via a private Pagure
issue. The Election Wrangler or their backup will publish the
interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting
period.
Please note that the interview is mandatory for all nominees. Nominees
not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period
(2019-11-20) will be disqualified and removed from the election.
As part of the campaign people may also ask questions to specific
candidates on the appropriate mailing list.
The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections
schedule[4]. For more information about the elections process, see the
program management docs[5].
