-* Join #fedora-board-questions to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.
+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no

+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.

-The moderator will voice people from the queue, one at a time, in the #fedora-board-meeting channel.  We'll limit time per voice as needed to give everyone in the queue a chance to be heard.  The Board may reserve some time at the top of the hour to cover any agenda items as appropriate.  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!"

+---
+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about

+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.
+All current versions of Fedora (and their respective RPM versions) treat

-====Fudcon North America 2011 -- bids opening!====
+====FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders====
-[[User:Stickster|Paul W. Frields]] announced <ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-April/002782.html</ref> on Monday, April 5 at 21:31:46 UTC 2010," The Fedora Project holds a number of global FUDCon events each year. Typically the Community Architecture team's budget supports one of these large events each Red Hat fiscal quarter (with the fiscal year starting on March 1). This year we have the Latin American event, FUDCon Santiago<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Santiago_2010</ref> in Chile, in Q2; the event for EMEA, FUDCon Zurich in Switzerland<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Zurich_2010</ref>, in Q3; and a North American FUDCon event in Q4.

+"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. :)
-In each case, typically the event will happen sometime in the first two months of the quarter, so that we can ensure all bills are paid by Red Hat's financial deadlines. That deadline usually comes a couple weeks before the end of quarter, so the first two months are the ideal time to actually stage an event. So the North American FUDCon event will happen in either December 2010 or January 2011.  The bidders will work with the Community Architecture team to resolve the exact timing.
+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.
-In the past we've often heard from community members that they'd love to have an event in a warmer clime during the chilly winter months. We couldn't agree more, and now we have a way to empower our community to make that happen. FUDCon Honolulu? Maybe not, but we're open to other possibilities! We want to find a place for the next North American event that includes:
+For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
+section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:

-We now have a bid process<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process</ref> that lets interested community members propose FUDCon in their region, or even backyard. Nothing Olympic style -- simply a way for excited Fedora folks in the locale to help secure event space, lodging, and other logistical details. We've already kicked this process off for FUDCon Zurich 2010, and are looking to start this cycle for North America as well. In the summer, after FUDCon Santiago concludes, we will kick the same process off for Latin America again for a 2011 conference.
+"I'm happy to announce the general availability of our
+status.fedoraproject.org site.
-So here's what you need to do to get the ball rolling:
+This site provides an easy way for Fedora contributors and users to
+check on the status of services provided by Fedora Infrastructure.
-* Join the fudcon-planning list<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning</ref> and let us know you want to bid.
+The site auto reloads every minute, and also provides a rss feed at
+<ref>http://status.fedoraproject.org/changes.rss of any changes</ref>.
-* Make a wiki page called [[FUDCon:Bid_for_<Your_Town>_2011]], with the information outlined on the bid process[3] page.
+If you run into a problem or issue that is not reflected at
+status.fedoraproject.org, please do report it to us in #fedora-admin on
+irc.freenode.net or via ticket at
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newticket</ref>
+We update the site status information manually so we need to be aware
+of the issue in order to keep the site accurate.

There are still unresolved bugs and unknown test results.  Because of this we've enacted a 1 week slip of the Beta release date.  This does not mean we will be pulling in a bunch of "nice to have" updates, we will instead be concentrating only on release blocking issues in order to produce an RC that achieves Beta release criteria.  Promotion of builds into "stable" for F13 will continue to be extremely targeted until an RC goes "GOLD".

+Please build and push your package with latest translation file (e.g.
+pull from Transifex/Zanata) for L10N QA test BY THIS FRIDAY 2012-08-31.
+Your packages with latest translation will be composed into test live
+image on 3-Sep Monday. Then various language translators worldwide will
+test the image in their own languages. Any issue will be filed as bug.
+This is only one chance for translators to check and modify Localization
+quality of your packages by checking UI, and we need your help.
