modified versions of popular open source software packages.  These special versions monitor their own behavior while they run, and report back how they work (or how they fail to work) in the hands of real users like you.  Even if you've never written a line of code in your life, you can help make things better for everyone simply by using our special

bug-hunting packages.


We currently offer instrumented versions of Evolution, The GIMP, GNOME Panel, Gnumeric, Liferea, Nautilus, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, and SPIM. Download at http://research.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/.  Or just download and install<ref>http://research.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/rpm/fedora-16-i386/RPMS.tools/cbi-package-config-16-11.i686.rpm</ref> to automatically configure your system to use the CBI repository.
"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.

It's that easy!  Tell your friends!  Tell your neighbors!  The more of you there are, the more bugs we can find.

We still offer CBI packages for earlier releases as well, going all the way back to Fedora 1. When and if you decide to upgrade to Fedora 16,  we'll be ready for you.  Until then, your participation remains valuable even on older distributions.

md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity.

As part of the release of Fedora 16 (Verne) today, I am proud to announce the launch of Ask Fedora<ref>http://ask.fedoraproject.org</ref>.  Ask Fedora is a community knowledge base and support forum for the Fedora community. You can ask any questions related to Fedora and you do not need to a separate id to post questions or answer them.
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>


You can use any openid to login including Google or Wordpress.  You can use your Fedora identity as well (fasname.id.fedoraproject.org). Refer to<ref>http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/22/how-do-i-use-my-fas-id-to-log-in-to-ask-fedora</ref> for more details.

Ask Fedora is powered by Askbot<ref>http://askbot.org</ref>, a Django based web application and upstream developers, especially Evgeny Fadeev,  Adolfo Fitoria, NoahY and several others have very helpful and deserve special credit for being very responsive, collaborating with us regularly by fixing bugs, adding features and reviewing changes.
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 goal of Ask Fedora is to be the best place for community support in Fedora and integrate tightly with the rest of the Fedora infrastructure. Refer to<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ask_fedora</ref> and get involved.  If

=== Dedication===
<references/>
 
During the preparation of Fedora 16, the computing world lost one of its
great contributors: Dennis Ritchie. Ritchie co-invented Unix and the C
language. He also co-authored The C Programming Language, a book that
taught many programmers just at the time personal computing was
exploding. Without Ritchie computing would be nothing like it is today.
 
A humble man, not well-known outside his field, Dennis will always be
remembered by those of us who practice the craft. Thank you, Dennis.
 
=== What's New in Fedora 16? ===
 
For desktop users: a journey to the center of the desktop...
 
* GNOME 3.2, the latest update to the most popular desktop environment,
brings new features, including:
    o System Settings gains an "Online Accounts" panel, which provides
a central point for managing online accounts like Google, Facebook, etc.
    o A new contact management application is integrated with Empathy,
Evolution and the new "Online Accounts" settings panel
    o A new document management application provides a simpler
alternative to traditional file management for both local and "in-cloud"
documents.
* KDE 4.7, the most recent version of this feature-rich desktop
environment, brings substantial updates, including:
    o DigiKam 2.0 adds face detection and recognition, geotagging and more.
    o An updated Plasma Workspaces window manager (KWin) makes KDE
better suited for mobile devices, and also adds improvements for desktop
users.
    o A new shutdown dialog allows users with multiple operating
systems to select the OS to boot next.
 
For developers: Twenty thousand lines in C...
 
* Perl 5.14, a new version of Perl, brings many enhancements, including
Unicode 6.0 support.
* GCC Python Plugins extend GCC with Python 2 and 3, without dealing
with the C internals of GCC.
* D2: Fedora 16 is the first Linux distribution to include the newest
version of D, a systems programming language combining the power and
high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern
languages such as Ruby and Python.
 
For system administrators: around the world in eighty columns...
 
* GRUB2: This leap forward allows better configuration options and
better support for non-x86 architectures.
* New system account ID numbering: Fedora 16 starts user IDs at 1000,
providing more room for system accounts and making it easier for
administrators not have services run as root. This improves
interoperability with other Linux distributions that start user IDs at 1000.
* Chrony: Chrony provides network time protocol (NTP) client and server
pieces which are more tolerant of unstable clocks and Internet
connections which are not always on.
* ext4 driver mounts ext2 and ext3: Fedora 16 uses the ext4 driver to
mount ext2 and ext3 file systems, reducing the size of the kernel code.
* Improved virtualization tools:
    o Fedora 16 provides improvements to virtual networking, making
large deployments easier.
    o Virt-manager guest inspection is a unique-to-Fedora tool allowing
read-only access to guest file systems, applications, and Windows registry.
    o Fedora 16 provides locking of virtual disks to prevent a disk
being used by multiple virtual machines simultaneously.
* Cloud goodies galore:
    o Aeolus, a cross-cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
platform, which consists of a web-based user interface and tools for
managing cloud instances across heterogenous clouds.
    o OpenStack, another IaaS platform, which takes form as a
collection of services for setting up and running a cloud compute and
storage infrastructure.
    o Pacemaker-cloud, which provides application service high
availability for cloud environments.
    o HekaFS, a cloud-ready version of GlusterFS, which extends the
filesystem to be suitable for deployment by a cloud provider by adding
in stronger authentication and authorization, encryption, and multi-tenancy.
 
This is only a taste of what is included in Fedora 16. A more detailed
list can be found at:

"The Release Notes beats for Fedora 18 are now open:
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats</ref>


It is time for yet another edition of.... "Robyn's Fedora Public Service Announcements" :)
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>


I'd like to give you a friendly reminder that the nomination period for the upcoming Fedora elections will be closing promptly TOMORROW, Saturday, November 5, 2011, at 23:59:59 UTC (US 19:59:59 EDT, 16:59:59 PDT).
As a reminder, the wiki drafts of beats are due on 12 September."
 
Full information about the elections, including the elections schedule, and links to where one may nominate, can be seen here<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections</ref>
 
This election cycle will fill the following seats for a one-year period:
* Fedora Board: 2 elected seats, as well as 2 appointed seats
* FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee): 4 elected seats
* FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee): 7 elected seats
 
Running concurrently with the nomination period (and, hence, closing at
the end of the nomination period), the elections questionnaire is also
open for adding questions which will be posed to candidates.  Following
the closing of the questionnaire, candidates will be asked to answer
questions relevant to the position for which they are seeking election.
 
Questions may be added here<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_elections_questionnaire</ref>, and, again, will also close on Saturday, November 5, 2011.
 
If you are planning on seeking election to one of these bodies, please
remember to complete your self-nomination *prior* to the deadline.
Additionally, if you have a fellow contributor who had indicated
interest and has not yet self-nominated, be a Friend and remind them to
act promptly.
 
Thanks!

"Greetings all,
"A new release of Bodhi has just been deployed to production.
<ref>https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates</ref>


As one of its tasks the Community Working Group<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group</ref> wrote a Code of Conduct policy<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/Code_of_Conduct</ref><ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement</ref> for Fedora that tries to give some expectations of how Fedora Contributors should behave to be able to communicate in ways that make each other happier and more productive rather than less.  These documents were approved by the Fedora Board on May 10 of this year<ref>ttp://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Meeting:Board_meeting_2011-05-10</ref> but through an oversight on our (the Board's) part, we failed to move the pages out of draft status and also failed to clearly announce their official status.
Bugs and enhancement requests can be filed here:
<ref>http://bodhi.fedorahosted.org</ref>


We've now rectified this and invite everyone to read the short Code of Conduct document if they haven't already.

Breaking News of the Week and Month

[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

  • Contributor: [[User:Spot|Tom Callaway][1]
  • Posted Date: Wed Aug 1 19:28:57 UTC 2012[2]

"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. [3]

---

The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity. [4]

---

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. [5] [6] [7]

---

A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines, covering Packaging of Additional RPM Macros. [8]

---

A new section on the Documentation= field in systemd unit files (F17+) has been added. [9]

---

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. [10]

---

The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example spec file, as it is no longer valid. [11]

---

These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC).

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.

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: [12]"

FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders

  • Contributor: Fedora Project Leader-[[User:Rbergero|Robyn Bergeron][1]
  • Posted Date: Fri Aug 3 17:00:53 UTC 2012[2]

"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)

I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the upcoming FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012.

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.

To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:

1: Pre-register at [3] - and put an X in the $$$ column 2: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here: [4]

Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:

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. :)

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.

For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki: [5]"
