+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
+If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so,
+the ticketing system is now open for those requests.  Requests will be
+accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests
+without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to
+attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora,
+and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
+: Pre-register at
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
+put an X in the $$$ column
+: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request
+ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest</ref>
+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
+There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably,
+our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum
+conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate
+in and learn about open source projects.  OWF had nearly 2000 attendees
+last year.  Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach
+FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for
+affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :)
+We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette
+Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.
+However, this rate will expire at the end of August, and any remaining
+rooms in our block will expire.
+For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
+section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:

+====Fedora 18 Alpha to slip by another one week====
-==== Upcoming multi-day outage====
-Mike McGrath briefed,<ref> http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-December/msg00000.html</ref> “Starting on December 12th The Fedora Project will start to move several servers, disk trays and related hardware from our current hosting location to another.  This move is planned to be completed on December 15th and will ultimately provide better hosting facilities and room for growth.” While mentioning the reason, he said, “Since the servers will physically be loaded onto a truck and moved, this means lots of services people rely on will be down.  We'll be working hard and using whatever tricks we have at our disposal to keep things as normal as possible, for example <ref>http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/</ref> will remain up (which includes the mechanism yum uses to get its mirror list).
-Some critical services like the buildsystem will be completely unavailable for 48 hours or longer.  I'll be sending another update out as the day gets closer to remind everyone.  Also this is the official ticket we're tracking with for those who care to watch it:<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1845</ref>
