Projects >   Fedora Projects Weekly Report

Core
Core was pretty quiet this week as far as packages go. Gnomemeeting was replaced by ekiga, see http://www.ekiga.org Kernel updates haven't happened in a few days because Linus is at LCA (http://lca2006.linux.org.au/) look for some updates very soon.

There has been lots of discussion regarding the 'everything' install, however at this time there is no Everything install. This is most likely not going to change, but then again it could. More information about reorganisation of packages is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/PackageSelection

Pup and Pirut have menu icons once again.

Ambassadors & Marketing

 * We had a extended and detailed Ambassadors meeting touching on various important aspects. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2006-01-26 for the details.

Documentation

 * A process is being developed to transcribe content from the Wiki to the DocBook format used for publishing Fedora documentation. This will be trialled and developed for the test3 Release Notes.


 * Initial discussions have begun on transferring the Translation infrastructure from the current Red Hat server to the Fedora CVS system.


 * The OPL (Open Publication License) has been discussed as a license for Fedora documentation. The OPL protects the rights of users to distribute and modify content, and does have the issues that have made the GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License) controversial.

Kadischi

 * Wednesday's meeting was coordinated by GregDeKoenigsberg which lasted for 10 minutes. Meeting Minutes can be found at  Meetings
