Announcements
In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project[1] [2] [3].

Fedora 11 (Leonidas)
This week's Fedora 11 announcements come with apologies to William Butler Yeats[1].
Somewhere in the build systems of Fedora,
A shape with lion body and the name of a Greek king,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the impatient downloaders.
The schedule slips again[2]; but now I know
That 6 months of stony sleep
Were vexed to release by Jesse Keating,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards June 9th to be born?
Fedora Board
The Fedora Board's next public IRC meeting will be held on Thursday June 4th, at 1700 UTC[1].
Join[2] #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation, and join #fedora-board-questions to discuss topics and post questions.
FUDCons and FADs
This section previews upcoming Fedora Users & Developers Conferences, as well as upcoming Fedora Activity Days.
Fedora Activity Days
At press time, two Fedora Activity Days[1] were wrapping up, one in Malaysia[2] and one in Germany[3] for more information. See Max Spevack's blog[4] for more information.
In North America, Jesse Keating announced[5] an upcoming Fedora Activity Day[6] "for maintainers, QA, and release engineering folks to meet and discuss ongoing issues with the Fedora Development Cycle and to create a proposal on how to fix many of the issues. Note, this is not an event to decide on a solution, it is an event to decide on a proposal, which will then be shared with the whole community for more input and work."
