=== Fedora 10 Beta Freeze Coming Soon ===
[[JesseKeating|Jesse Keating]] discussed[2] the Fedora 10 Beta schedule.  "The new freeze date
is Sept. 9, which is in 7 days.  This is a friendly reminder that the freeze is coming up, and coming up quickly.  I realize that rawhide has been less than great lately, and we're
working quite hard to fix the issues."

=== Fedora 8 and 9 Updates Status ===


[[JesseKeating|Jesse Keating]] wrote[3] about the status of updates on Fedora 8 and Fedora 9.  "We have done a successful compose of all the existing and as of yesterday pending updates for Fedora 8 and Fedora 9, all signed with our new keys.  These updates will soon hit mirrors in a new set of directory locations.  What we don't have quite yet is the updated fedora-release package in the old updates location that will get you the new keys and the new repo locations.  The last mile testing of this update requires that new updates be live on the mirrors."
[[JesseKeating|Jesse Keating]] wrote more[0] about the status of updates on Fedora 8 and Fedora 9.  "We're in the final stages of testing a few corner cases, and preparing the official builds of fedora-release, PackageKit, gnome-packagekit, and unique (needed as a new dep for gnome-packagekit).  All existing updates in the old update locations will be purged, and just these updates will be put in their place, signed with our old key.  Once you've updated to these packages, the next update attempt will point you to our new locations with our new keys and you should be able to process any further pending updates.  You'll be prompted to import the new key along the way."

=== FESCo Issue Tracking ===
 
[[KevinFenzi|Kevin Fenzi]] announced[4] the new FESCo issue-tracking tool.  "In the past, interested parties could bring matters to the attention of FESCo in several ways: Mailing the chair, following up to the schedule posting on the devel list asking for a new topic to be added, or attending meetings on irc and bringing up the topic at the end of the meeting in the Open Discussion phase.


While these methods work well for issues that simply need a bit of discussion and a decision, longer term issues that should be tracked and discussed further sometimes are forgotten."
