== New Fedora 9 Re-spins ==
== The Big ACL Opening ==


[[BenWilliams|Ben Williams]] announced[1] the availability of a new Fedora 9 re-spin. "The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins of Fedora 9.  These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 8 installation media and include all updates released as of October 4th, 2008."
[[CaseyDahlin|Casey Dahlin]] announced[0] that "we are now on a two-tiered access system for CVS. The final change which we will be making is the mass ACL open." He went on to explain, "what will happen is all packages which are now set to be private, accessible by their maintainers and a few specific individuals only, will be opened up to all überpackager members. Members of überpackager represent a filtered minority of CVS comitters, but membership is easy to come by for anyone that asks."

== Uberpackager replaces packager ==
== K12Linux Release Candidate 1 Now Available ==


[[ToshioKuratomi|Toshio Kuratomi]] explained[4] the changes to packager groups and ACLs.  "The transition from a single packager group to an entry level packager group that can only commit to packages that the person owns and a separate uberpackager group that can commit to everything has been made." Additionally, "people in uberpackager should be able to commit to any package which is open to the uberpackager group.  As part of the update, all packages which were previously opened to packager/cvsextras are now opened to uberpackager."
Peter Scheie announced[4] "that K12Linux Release Candidate 1 is now available for download.  K12Linux is LTSP 5 built on Fedora 9, and is slated to become the successor to the highly acclaimed K12LTSP.  K12Linux comes as a live image which can be used to create a LiveUSB or LiveDVD with the client chroot already installed & configured."
