It was a pretty quiet week in Fedora-land. Nothing really happened, so I guess we can just move ahead to the next section of Fedora Weekly News.

Wait, what? Oh, yeah... how silly of me! I guess there was that one small announcement, like the general availability of Fedora 10 on November 25.

Fedora 10

Keeping with tradition, the Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields wrote[1] a thank you message to the Fedora community on the eve of the release.

Also keeping with tradition, on the morning of the release, a "whimsical" announcement was sent[2] out on the morning of the release.

Naturally, some of the third-party packagers of Fedora (RPM Fusion and ATrpms) made their repositories available for Fedora 10 on the release day also [3,4].

Finally, Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst sent a congratulatory email to the Fedora community [5].
