+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no

+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.

+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about

+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>
+---
+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>
+---
+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

+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

-[[User:Pfrields|Paul W. Frields]]<ref>Paul W. Frields</ref> thanked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-May/002821.html</ref> for the successful releases of the Fedora 13 distribution. The full announcement:
-"We've had yet another in a long line of successful releases of the Fedora distribution.  Now that the furor over the first few release days has passed, we on the Board want to recognize the outstanding efforts of our friends and colleagues in the Fedora Project.
+* 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>
-A huge amount of development work has gone into this release, on a variety of features from desktops to drivers, by ambitious engineers. Package maintainers have kept up with myriad upstreams to provide the best of what works today for millions of consumers.  Our designers made everything beautiful, cleaning up icons, building thematic web banners, and providing a brilliant backdrop for daily work.
+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
-Documentation writers kept track of changes in the distribution and made sure that studious users can find information they need.
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
-Translators around the world made Fedora 13 ready for a global user base, working together with developers and writers to localize content into dozens of languages.
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
-Release engineering made sure everything was built according to spec and provided publicly on multiple schedules throughout the release cycle.  The bug triage and quality assurance teams repeatedly tested Fedora, identified problems, and helped move them to resolution to make the distro as stable as possible.
+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.
-The project's system administrators made sure all our bits were in their rightful places and available around the world as easily as possible to the public.  Our marketing and Ambassadors teams and the good folks at the Fedora Weekly News continue to work together to spread information and updates about our project and distribution consistently and globally.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
-In short, from every person who has promoted or provided Fedora, filed or fixed a bug, written or packaged code, labored over writing or translation, gardened the wiki, built or remixed the distro, helped their fellow users and contributors in a positive spirit of free and open source community -- thank you to each and every one of you!
+: 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>

+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:

We listened to your concerns, and have amended the draft slightly.
-Here are the key changes that we've made:
+* Contributor: Fedora Infrastructure Leader-[[User:Kevin|Kevin Fenzi ]<ref>kevin at scrye.com</ref>
+* Posted Date: Thu Aug 30 20:31:24 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003101.html</ref>

+status.fedoraproject.org site.
-* 3) '''Most importantly, we made several changes to explicitly address the problem of reuse of default-licensed CC-BY-SA content within GPL-covered works. (Basically, we added a GPL exception.)'''
+This site provides an easy way for Fedora contributors and users to
+check on the status of services provided by Fedora Infrastructure.
+The site auto reloads every minute, and also provides a rss feed at
+<ref>http://status.fedoraproject.org/changes.rss of any changes</ref>.
+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
+of the issue in order to keep the site accurate.
+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'''.
+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. "

-The full text of the revised FPCA, along with a FAQ, can be found here:<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Revised_Fedora_CLA_Draft</ref>
+=== 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.
-Fedora Legal wishes to give the Fedora community a window of time for discussion and review of the revised FPCA. Due to the fact that the changes are relatively minor, and the original draft has been open for comments for some time now, this second window is open until June 4, 2010 (2010-06-04). After that point, either another revised FPCA will be released for review, or we will begin the process of phasing in the FPCA and phasing out the Fedora ICLA.

+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.
+Thank you so much.
