In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project[1] [2] [3].

Contributing Writer: Max Spevack

If anyone is interested in taking over this beat, please contact the Fedora News[4] team.

General

Luke Macken[1] announced[2] an update to the Fedora Community[3] codebase. The changes make Fedora Community able to process information from EPEL, and also provide a variety of other bugfixes and enhancements.

Kevin Fenzi[4] summarized[5] the recent Fedora Classroom sessions that have taken place. The classes have included introductions to rsync, to Koji (Fedora's build system), XFCE, and PreUpgrade. Fedora Classroom continues to be a wonderful source of information, and we encourage all Fedora users and contributors to either attend or teach a class.

Fedora 12 (Constantine)

Jesse Keating[1] announced the Fedora 12 Alpha freeze[2] on August 4th.

John Poelstra[3] continued the public announcements related to the finalizing of Fedora 12 features. This week, feature pages that had not been updated were flagged for review and potential dropping from the release[4]. If you are a Fedora 12 feature owner, you should check to make sure that your features are up to date.
