F17 Beta to slip by one week.
by Robyn Bergeron 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

At the Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip the Beta by one week[1]. Minutes follow below. Despite valiant efforts by many awesome people, two new blockers appeared between RC1 and RC2, for which fixes are still incoming and will require the creation of an RC3 [2]. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week. Beta will now be looking at an expected release of 2012-04-10, and F17 GA is now scheduled for 2012-05-15. The adjustments to the full F17 schedule will be done (very late) tonight, and published to the Schedule wiki page[3]. Please note that the high-level milestones shown on the wiki page have already been updated to reflect the Beta slip. Thanks for your patience. We will be meeting again next Wednesday for another Go/No-Go meeting. -Robyn [1] Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-03-28/f17_beta_go_no… Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-03-28/f17_beta_go_no… [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule

It is time for another episode of: NAME THAT FEDORA RELEASE
by Robyn Bergeron 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Oh, Beefy Miracle, I have relished your name for months, but as your day for widespread consumption (release day) approaches, it is time for the community to choose the name of Fedora 18. This process begins with *you,* dear readers and contributors, as potential names are accepted for submission over the course of the next week, beginning now, March 20th, and ending March 27th (at 23:59:59 UTC, for those of you who can't mustard up any ideas until the last possible second). Frankly, I'm expecting an a-bun-dance of suggestions, and not just from people who cannot take my punni-ness any longer. Rules and guidelines for suggestions, as well as the location in which you may make your name suggestions, are on this wiki page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_18 A quick word on details: You *must* follow the guidelines at the page listed above for your name to be considered. These guidelines include the following items: * There must be an "is-a" link between the name "Beefy Miracle" (the name of F17) and your suggested name. * That link must be different from any previous links between release names. * Names of living people and well-known trademarks will likely be rejected as well. Schedule details for release naming are also shown on the F18 naming wiki page. I know that it may be hard to *top* Beefy Miracle (ahahahaha, get it? As in toppings!) but I do have every bit of faith that many of you have already thought of name suggestions that may or may not be more mature, or more neutral with regards to dietary restrictions. :) I do look forward to seeing your suggested names and recommend, as always, to have fun. Cheers, -Robyn

Bodhi comment emails issue fixed
by Kevin Fenzi 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Greetings. In the last week or so, there was an issue with bodhi sending emails to update submitters when comments were left on their updates. Note that this issue did not effect bodhi comments (ie, pushed to testing, pushed to stable, being pushed, etc), only comments left by users / autoqa. This issue has been corrected, so any comments left should now email correctly. Maintainers may wish to look over their pending updates for any comments they may have missed. Sorry for the trouble, kevin

Hi Fedora package maintainers Could you please pull latest translation for your package, re-package with it and push to koji for L10N QA test by 2-Mar? We will have a live image to be composed for this particular test on 5-Mar. The focus is to test translations availability and accuracy in desktop applications. This test covers all Fedora packages. This is only one chance for translators to check translation quality. It is highly appreciated your help. Regards, noriko Fedora Localization Project
