Contributing Writer: Max Spevack

Fedora Board

Our fearless leader^[1] reminded^[2] the community that the Fedora Board will be "holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 7 April 2009, at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode."

Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.

Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.

Paul also mentioned a change in the procedure for the meeting. "We're trying something new (albeit in a minor way) in this meeting. The moderator will still be available to gather input from the #fedora-board-public channel, but will voice people, one at a time, in the queue in the #fedora-board-meeting channel."

Security

Paul Frields^[1] also issued^[2] a detailed, and final report to the Fedora community regarding the August 2008 intrusion. Because of the detailed nature of the announcement, rather than summarize it here, your correspondent encourages people to read the full link.
