The main topic on the announcement lists this past week was Fedora 12's feature process.  John Poelstra<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra</ref> sent out several emails about features.
John Poelstra<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra</ref> has made several important announcements related to the ongoing development of Fedora 12.


An initial note<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00009.html</ref> was sent on July 14th listing feature pages that were in need of an update, and that list included 15 features.
On July 28th, John wrote<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00025.html</ref> about the upcoming Fedora 12 schedule<ref>http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-releng-tasks.html</ref> deadlines.


On July 16th, a second email was sent, requesting that the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee drop the features<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00010.html</ref> that had not been updated.  The list of 15 had by this point been narrowed down to only 5, meaning that 2/3 of the features were updated as requested.  By July 17th, all but 3 of the 15 features had been updated<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00012.html</ref>.
The complete Fedora 12 schedule that John maintains is incredibly detailed and serves as a model for any group or project that is looking to produce results on a deadline.


As FWN goes to press, the feature freeze is scheduled for July 28th<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00014.html</ref>.  Please make sure that your Fedora 12 features<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FeatureAcceptedF12</ref> are in the proper status and ready for FESCo<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FeatureReadyForFesco</ref>.
On July 31st, a request for feature updates<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00027.html</ref> landed.  See the list included in the link.  John wrote, "According to a review of all the feature pages, the following features have not been updated recently or are not 100% complete. Please update them no later than Wednesday, August 6, 2009."
