-Robyn Bergeron put out a call<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-October/002873.html</ref> for volunteers to assist with the upcoming Fedora elections:
+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no
+longer be using SysV Initscripts as a primary service mechanism, Red Hat
+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript#Careful_Handling_of_.2Fvar.2Flock.2Fsubsys.2F.3Cservice_name.3E_mechanism</ref>
-"Are you a Fedora community member or even a free software user who’d like to get more involved but aren’t sure where to start?
+---
-The Fedora Project is gearing up for our twice-annual elections process, for an election period in late November. During this election, we’ll be voting on positions in the following groups:
+The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of
+md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines#Things_To_Check_On_Review</ref>
-* Fedora Board<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board</ref>
+---
-* Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo)<ref>http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FESCO</ref>
+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about
+when it is appropriate to have an explicit Requires on httpd & mod_php,
+how to handle explicit Requires on PHP extensions, and how to handle a
+Requires for a minimum PHP version.

-Helping out with this elections process is a great opportunity to get started as a free software contributor, especially if you’re unable or prefer not to write code.
+A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines,
+covering Packaging of Additional RPM Macros.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_of_Additional_RPM_Macros</ref>
-We have a handful positions we need help with. We’ve outlined them below. If any of these sound like things you’d like to help us with, please send an email to the Fedora Board (advisory-board AT lists.fedoraproject.org).
+---
-Fedora Election Questionnaire Coordinator
+A new section on the Documentation= field in systemd unit files (F17+)
+has been added.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Documentation_field</ref>
-The Fedora Election Questionnaire Coordinator will make sure members of the Fedora Community are able to ask questions of the candidates, and will facilitate sending the questions to the candidates and compiling them into a wiki page that will be distributing during the election period.
+---
-Specifically, here’s what you’ll need to do as questionnaire coordinator:
+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.
+All current versions of Fedora (and their respective RPM versions) treat
+the Group tag as optional. Packages may include a Group: field for
+compatibility with EPEL, but are not required to do so.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Group_tag</ref>
-* Create a wiki page to list the candidate questions.
+---
-* Use the following link to create the page<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_elections_questionnaire</ref>
+The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example
+spec file, as it is no longer valid.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Example_spec_file</ref>
-* REFERENCE: The questionnaire from the last election is here<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_elections_questionnaire</ref> You may want to look at it for ideas.
+---
-* Send an message out to the Fedora community to collect questions for the candidates, allowing community members to email their questions to you directly or optionally adding them to a wiki page. The message should be sent to the following:
+These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging
+Committee (FPC).
-* Fedora Advisory Board Mailing List (advisory-board AT lists.fedoraproject.org)
+'''Many thanks to Remi Collet, David Malcolm, Vit Ondruch, Lennart Poettering, Michael Scherer, Dave Sullivan, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.'''
-* Community support for Fedora users Mailing List (users AT lists.fedoraproject.org)
+As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If
+you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
+suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:

-* Fedora Announce List Mailing List  (announce AT lists.fedoraproject.org)
+Enclosure: Here is one late change to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003100.html</ref>

+====FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders====
-* On November 1, gather up all the questions that you collected from the Community, and post them all to the wiki page you created<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_elections_questionnaire</ref>. Make sure the page is neat & orderly.
+* Contributor: Fedora Project Leader-[[User:Rbergero|Robyn Bergeron]<ref>rbergero at redhat.com</ref>
+* Posted Date: Fri Aug 3 17:00:53 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003099.html</ref>
-* On November 1, send the questionnaire page to all candidates and ask them to send their answers to you by November 8.
+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
-* For any candidates you haven’t heard from on November 7th, send them a reminder email.
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
-* Copy the candidates’ answers into the wiki page and advertise the answers to the same venues listed above (the mailing lists and Planet Fedora.
+If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so,
+the ticketing system is now open for those requests.  Requests will be
+accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests
+without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to
+attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora,
+and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request.
-* Helpful Tips:
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
-* Consider using your best judgement and selecting 6-8 good questions from the pool for the candidates. 20 questions is probably too much. If some are similar, feel free to merge and restate them.
+: Pre-register at
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
+put an X in the $$$ column
+: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request
+ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest</ref>
-That’s it. Not too tough, to ask. right?
+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
-Fedora Election Town Hall Coordinator
+There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably,
+our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum
+conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate
+in and learn about open source projects.  OWF had nearly 2000 attendees
+last year.  Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach
+FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for
+affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :)
-The Fedora Election Town Hall Coordinator will schedule IRC town hall sessions, one for each of the following groups:
+We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette
+Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.
+However, this rate will expire at the end of August, and any remaining
+rooms in our block will expire.
-* Fedora Board
+For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
-* Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo)
+section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:
-* Fedora Ambassadors’ Steering Committee (FAmSCo)
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Lodging_.2F_Hotel</ref>"
+<references/>
-Specifically, here’s what you’ll need to do as town hall coordinator:
+====Fedora Infrastructure announces status.fedoraproject.org====
-* Email all of the Fedora Board candidates between Nov. 1 and Nov. 3 and ask them to provide some 1-hour blocks of time they might be available to participate in an IRC town hall session, between November 13 and November 19th. You may wish to use a tool like whenasgood.net to organize this. Ask them to respond by Nov. 10.

+* Posted Date: Thu Aug 30 20:31:24 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003101.html</ref>
-* Do the same as above for the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) candidates.
+"I'm happy to announce the general availability of our
+status.fedoraproject.org site.
-* Do the same as above for the Fedora Ambassadors’ Steering Committee (FAmSCo) candidates.
+This site provides an easy way for Fedora contributors and users to
+check on the status of services provided by Fedora Infrastructure.
-* Select who the Town Hall moderators were be (see below for that job description).
+The site auto reloads every minute, and also provides a rss feed at
+<ref>http://status.fedoraproject.org/changes.rss of any changes</ref>.
-* On November 10, determine the best date and time for each of the three town halls, and advertise this time & date and the irc channel (probably #fedora-meeting and #fedora-meeting-questions on irc.freenode.net) in the following venues:
+If you run into a problem or issue that is not reflected at
+status.fedoraproject.org, please do report it to us in #fedora-admin on
+irc.freenode.net or via ticket at
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newticket</ref>
+We update the site status information manually so we need to be aware

+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats</ref>
-* When selecting people for town hall coordinators – remember that things like good IRC skills, even-temperedness, knowledge in the area of the town hall they are moderating, are very helpful.
+If you're looking for a way to dip your toes in the water, so to
+speak, writing a beat is a great way to get started. If you're a
+regular, don't forget about the checkBeat program:
+<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/docs/2012-March/014127.html</ref>
-That’s it. Not too tough, right?

-Fedora Election Town Hall Moderator (3 needed!)
+<references/>
-The Fedora Election Town Hall Moderators will each run a 1-hour long IRC town hall sessions, one for each of the 3 groups being elected. This task requires some skill with IRC. This is an especially good position for someone who does not have a lot of time to devote as it only takes a little over an hour to do.
+=== Fedora Development News ===
+The Development Announcement<ref>https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce</ref> list is intended to be a LOW TRAFFIC announce-only list for Fedora development.
-The date and time of each of these sessions will be published by the Fedora Election Town Hall Coordinator on November 10.
+'''Acceptable Types of Announcements'''
+* Policy or process changes that affect developers.

+* Contributor: [[User:Lmacken|Luke Macken ]<ref>lmacken at redhat.com</ref>
+* Posted Date: Thu Aug 9 21:53:41 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2012-August/000961.html</ref>
-* During the town hall, allow only candidates to have voice in #fedora-meeting.
+"A new release of Bodhi has just been deployed to production.
+<ref>https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates</ref>
-* During the town hall, take questions from Fedora Community members in #fedora-meeting-questions, and maintain a question queue. Ask the questions in order in #fedora-meeting, giving each candidate a chance to provide an answer to the question.
+Bugs and enhancement requests can be filed here:
+<ref>http://bodhi.fedorahosted.org</ref>
-* Once the session is over, end the meeting with the meeting bot command ‘#endmeeting’
+Major changes in bodhi 0.9.2

+The purpose of Fedora Event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning and press releases.
-"I'm so sorry for a late notice, but there was a soname bump of libedataserverui library from evolution-data-server package in time for 2.31.91 update, but I didn't notice this change, and because this update didn't get it to the testing repo, then I realized just now, when I finished an update to 2.31.92 and pushed it to updates-testing.
