-"Greetings.
+"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>
-There has been some confusion and misunderstanding around
+---
-blogs.fedoraproject.org recently. This email will hopefully clear them up.
-At the Tempe Fudcon, the Fedora Infrastructure team determined that we should retire our blogs.fedoraproject.org service. The reasons for this
+The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of
-were:
+md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines#Things_To_Check_On_Review</ref>
-* We currently have no infrastructure members who are driving support of this service. (Fixing bugs, following upstream or improving the service).
+---
-* Wordpress has a long history of security issues, requiring frequent, custom patches or updates to keep it secure.
+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.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Apache_requirement</ref>
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Extensions_Requires</ref>
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Requiring_a_Minimum_PHP_version</ref>
-* Many other sites out there are providing blog services as their core mission, likely resulting in a more feature-full and compelling offering. Some of these sites like wordpress.com are commited to free software, like Fedora is.
+---
-* Usage of the service was quite low. We have 92 blogs, but only 39 of them had more than 5 posts. Only 6 of them had posts in the last month, and only 23 had posts in 2011.
+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>
-While we are open to interested parties stepping forward to help us maintain the service, currently there is no compelling reason to keep the service running.
+---
-We will be happy to help any user wishing to transition their blog to  another service. We will provide web site redirects and dumps of their posts.
+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>
-Please contact fedora infrastructure (infrastructure at lists.fedoraproject.org)
+---
-with further questions or concerns.

+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>

+The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example

+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
-[[User:Jsmith|Jared K. Smith]]  announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-June/002971.html</ref>:
+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.
-"FUDCon (the Fedora Users and Developers Conference) is the premier Fedora event.  We typically have a FUDCon event in North America, Latin America, and Europe each year.  This year, I'm pleased to announce that we'll also be having a FUDCon event in the Asia-Pacific region.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
-I've confirmed that we have budget set aside for a FUDCon in the Asia-Pacific region, and I'm now soliciting bids for FUDCon APAC. Bids should be created on the Fedora wiki, and a link to the bid mailed to the fudcon-planning list.  All bids should be completed by June 23rd.  Soon after the bidding process has closed, I'll meet together with FAMSCo, the Ambassadors in that region, and our primary corporate sponsor to pick the winning location.  After the location has been selected, we'll invite people to start registering and due to the details of our budget, the time frame for FUDCon APAC this year will likely be in either November or December.  Next year, I'll work to try to spread the FUDCon events around a bit more evenly, so that we can have one FUDCon event roughly each quarter.

+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
-parties are invited to submit their bids up until June 23rd.  If you
-have any questions or concerns, please bring them up on the
-fudcon-planning mailing list.
-I look forward to seeing your proposals!
+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. :)

+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
+of the issue in order to keep the site accurate.
-"Hi folks,
+As with everything in Fedora Infrastructure, this application is open
+source. Source is available from:
+<ref>http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-status.git</ref>
+and is released under a '''GPLv2+ license'''.
-Wanted to make you aware of a situation that was discovered last night and responded to this morning.
+This application is hosted at the link<ref>https://openshift.redhat.com</ref> to avoid any
+issues with outages in our infrastructure affecting status reporting. "
-A number of people caught an issue in the eligibility configuration for voters in the Board Election. Per the Board's Succession Planning<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/SuccessionPlanning</ref> document this election is open to any person in the Fedora Accounts System who has completed the CLA. I mistakenly configured
+<references/>
-this election for CLA+1 which means that in addition to completing the CLA a person would have to be a member of an additional group. Members of the infrastructure team noted this and created a ticket in the Board's trac system late last night (no link as it's not visible to non-board members). That mis-configuration has now been corrected, and to ensure that we have not unduly disenfranchised any potential voters, the Board election period only has been extended by 24 hours from 08 June 23:59:59  to 09 June 23:59:59. Please note that the election period for the FESCo election remains unchanged.
-I apologize for mis-configuring the election app, and thank the vigilant members of our community and infrastructure team who caught the issue so early in the process and helped to correct the problem in a timely manner.

-There will be an outage starting at 18:00 UTC on 2011-05-31,  which will last approximately 2 hours. During this time there may be very short outages of services as machines are updated and rebooted into new kernels.
+Please build and push your package with latest translation file (e.g.
+pull from Transifex/Zanata) for L10N QA test BY THIS FRIDAY 2012-08-31.
+Your packages with latest translation will be composed into test live
+image on 3-Sep Monday. Then various language translators worldwide will
+test the image in their own languages. Any issue will be filed as bug.
+This is only one chance for translators to check and modify Localization
+quality of your packages by checking UI, and we need your help.
-Machines will be rebooted in an order that allows for least disruption to services.
+Thank you so much.
-In many cases, there will be no noticeable downtime due to redundancy and fail-over.
