Fedora Board, FAmSCo, FESCo Election Season, and Fedora Board Appointment.
by Robyn Bergeron 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

The nomination period for FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee), FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), and the Fedora Board is now open, and will close on November 13, 2012, at 23:59:59 UTC. This election cycle will fill the following seats for a one-year period: * Fedora Board: 2 elected seats, as well as 2 appointed seats * FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee): 4 elected seats * FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee): 3 elected seats Full information about the elections, including the elections schedule, and links to where one may nominate, can be seen here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections Running concurrently with the nomination period (and, hence, closing at the end of the nomination period), the elections questionnaire is also open for adding questions which will be posed to candidates. Following the closing of the questionnaire, candidates will be asked to answer questions relevant to the position for which they are seeking election. Questions may be added here, and, again, will also close on November 13, 2012: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F19_elections_questionnaire As noted above, there are 2 seats on the Fedora Board that will be appointed in this cycle, and I'm pleased as can be to announce that Major Hayden as the first of these appointments. I'm sure that many of you know Major from IRC (where you may know of him as rackerhacker), or perhaps from his blog posts about security or OpenStack, or from the Fedora Cloud SIG. He's enthusiastic, a fountain of knowledge, passionate about Fedora, and an all-around awesome guy, and I'm certain that he'll be able to bring some unique perspectives to the Board. Welcome, Major! Major will be taking the seat previously occupied by Toshio Kuratomi (aka: abadger1999). Toshio has served two years in his appointed seat on the Fedora Board, and I am incredibly grateful to him for his efforts, dedication, and commitment to the Board, and Fedora in general. You are a fantastic role model and contributor - thank you, Toshio! :) Further details regarding each body's election follows below. I encourage everyone to consider running for an elected seat if they have the interest and desire to do so, and to encourage others that they feel would be ideal representatives for particular Fedora bodies. Cheers! -Robyn == Fedora Board == This election cycle will fill two elected seats for the Board (seats E1 and E2). Two appointed seats (A1 and A2) will also be filled this cycle, the first of which is the aforementioned appointment of Major Hayden; the remaining seat will be appointed following the election.

Fedora 18 Beta to slip by one week
by Jaroslav Reznik 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Today at Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip Fedora 18 Beta release by one week due to unresolved blocker bugs [1] and incomplete upgrade tool. See the meeting minutes [2] for more details. As a result, Fedora 18 Beta will be pushed out by one week but Final release is still planned on Dec 11 as FESCo agreed to cut off one week from schedule to avoid Christmas holidays collision [3]. Check current schedule [4]. The next Go/No-Go meeting is on Thursday, Nov 08. Time will be announced on Monday. Please, work on your blocker bugs or help testing the F18 Beta to make sure we will be able to release soon and in the best quality! Thanks Jaroslav [1] http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/18/beta/buglist [2] http://bit.ly/SB1j66 [3] https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/960 [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/Schedule
