=== Fedora 9 (Sulphur) ===
=== Fedora 12 (Constantine) ===


Fedora 9 has reached its end-of-life<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-July/msg00004.html</ref> and will no longer receive any updates.
The main topic on the announcement lists this past week was Fedora 12's feature process.  John Poelstra<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Poelstra</ref> sent out several emails about features.


Fedora 10 will continue to receive updates until about 1 month after Fedora 12's release, and Fedora 11 will be updated until about 1 month after Fedora 13.
An initial note<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00009.html</ref> was sent on July 14th listing feature pages that were in need of an update, and that list included 15 features.

On July 16th, a second email was sent, requesting that the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee drop the features<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00010.html</ref> that had not been updated.  The list of 15 had by this point been narrowed down to only 5, meaning that 2/3 of the features were updated as requested.  By July 17th, all but 3 of the 15 features had been updated<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00012.html</ref>.


=== Meeting Logging ===
As FWN goes to press, the feature freeze is scheduled for July 28th<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-July/msg00014.html</ref>.  Please make sure that your Fedora 12 features<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FeatureAcceptedF12</ref> are in the proper status and ready for FESCo<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FeatureReadyForFesco</ref>.
 
A new tool for IRC meeting management<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-July/msg00003.html</ref> is available for Fedora channels on Freenode.  Jon Stanley<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jstanley</ref> explained that the tool "was developed by our friends over at Debian, who are using it to record their meetings as well.  We would like all Fedora meetings to be recorded using this mechanism, such that there's one format for all of the logs."

Fedora 12 (Constantine)

The main topic on the announcement lists this past week was Fedora 12's feature process. John Poelstra[1] sent out several emails about features.

An initial note[2] was sent on July 14th listing feature pages that were in need of an update, and that list included 15 features.

On July 16th, a second email was sent, requesting that the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee drop the features[3] that had not been updated. The list of 15 had by this point been narrowed down to only 5, meaning that 2/3 of the features were updated as requested. By July 17th, all but 3 of the 15 features had been updated[4].

As FWN goes to press, the feature freeze is scheduled for July 28th[5]. Please make sure that your Fedora 12 features[6] are in the proper status and ready for FESCo[7].
