Today at FESCo meeting [1] it was decided to slip Fedora 18 Beta release by *two* weeks to give the Installer team, the new upgrade tool and Secure Boot time to finish and polish these features to meet our release quality standards.

As a result, Fedora 18 Beta will be pushed out by two weeks, the development is re-opened, with tentative Change Deadline on Nov 13. Fedora 18 Beta release is now Nov 27. Anyone with objections to enter Beta freeze on Nov 13 can file a ticket with FESCo on the Nov 12/13 and it will be discussed in the ticket or on special meeting.

Final Change deadline is rescheduled to Dec 18 with final Fedora 18 release on 2013 Jan 08 [2].

The Go/No-Go meeting on Thursday, Nov 08 is cancelled.

Please, work on your blocker bugs and help testing the Fedora 18, so we will be able to release in the beginning of January.
