Fedora 10 (Cambridge) Beta

Jesse Keating announced[0] the release of Fedora 10 Beta. "Just on the heels of the Fedora Project's fifth anniversary, the Beta of Fedora Linux version 10 (code-named Cambridge) is now available."

Among the new, fun, and interesting features:

     * New NetworkManager with connection sharing
     * Improved printer handling
     * Remote virtualization and easier virt storage
     * Sectool, an auditing and security testing framework
     * RPM 4.6, the first big RPM change in several years

Additionally, Jesse reported[1] "there was a small problem during image creation that led to the x86_64 Live KDE actually being the content for the x86_64 Live XFCE. I have recreated these images and updated the master mirror and the torrent server."

For full disclosure, here are the SHA1SUMs of each:

6f32b75c09838a407371aec211e1951d357baf03 *F10-Beta-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso 04195ea383229bdd356188e86ba8c39985118abb *F10-Beta-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso

Fedora Board IRC Meeting

Paul Frields reminded[2] everyone that "the Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 7 October 2008, at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode."

The public is invited to do the following:

• Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. This channel is read-only for non-Board members.
• Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.

The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting. This should limit confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone.
