Fedora 11

Jesse Keating reminded^[1] the community that the Fedora 11 Beta freeze^[2] is coming this week. "It is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10th. They way we've historically enacted the beta freeze is to tag the content in that day's rawhide into the freeze tag. That is, what gets reported as rawhide-20090310 is the frozen content. As such, your builds need to be complete by 0600 UTC March 10 2009 in order to be in the Beta, without a special request."

The string freeze is also on March 10th^[3]. Dennis Gilmore wrote^[4] "anything that needs translations needs to be done by COB monday. This is a blocking Freeze any packages you need included in the Beta release must be requested via release engineering^[5]."

Upcoming Events

March 10-12: FOSE^[1] in Washington, DC.

March 13-15: Chemnitzer Linux Tage^[2] in Chemnitz, Germany.

FUDCon Berlin 2009

-* Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.
-The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting.  This should limit confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone.
 === Fedora 11 ===
-The Fedora 11 feature freeze is coming this week<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-February/msg00022.html</ref>.  Feature owners should update their feature's status<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList</ref> on the wiki before March 3rd, as the feature list will be sent to FESCo on March 6th for review.

-Mass rebuilds of all packages are ongoing for Fedora 11<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-February/msg00023.html</ref>.  Package maintainers should check<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-February/msg00027.html</ref> to see whether or not they own any packages that still need to be rebuilt.
+The string freeze is also on March 10th<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-March/msg00008.html</ref>.  Dennis Gilmore wrote<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-March/msg00007.html</ref> "anything that needs translations needs to be done by COB monday.

-Finally, we need to ensure that any hard-coded i386 architectures in spec files are fixed, or else the package runs the risk of not being built in the 32bit Rawhide repository<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-March/msg00000.html</ref>.
