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.

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

were:  
Kevin Fenzi announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-June/000810.html</ref>:


* We currently have no infrastructure members who are driving support of this service. (Fixing bugs, following upstream or improving the service).
"Greetings.  
 
* Wordpress has a long history of security issues, requiring frequent, custom patches or updates to keep it secure.  


* 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.  
This is a reminder email about the end of life process for Fedora 13.  


* 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.  
Fedora 13 will reach end of life on 2011-06-24, and no further updates will be pushed out after that time. Additionally, with the recent release of Fedora 15, no new packages will be added to the Fedora 13 collection.  


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.
Please see<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistributionUpgrades</ref> for more information on upgrading from Fedora 13 to a newer release.  
 
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.
 
Please contact fedora infrastructure (infrastructure at lists.fedoraproject.org)
with further questions or concerns.

responsibility of serving on the Fedora Board.  Guillermo has demonstrated his commitment to Fedora through his tireless efforts on a number of different fronts, including working on packaging, development, and ambassador programs.  He has also shown his ability
to mentor new contributors and help grow the Fedora community.  I have no doubt that he'll continue these efforts while on the Board, and that he'll bring his perspective to help the Board as it makes decisions affecting the direction that Fedora takes. I would like to
publicly thank Guillermo for his willingness to serve, and I hope the entire Fedora community will join me in welcoming him to the Board.


Guillermo will fill seat A4 (see the Board History<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/History</ref> for a list of the seats), which has been held by Stephen Smoogen for the past year.  I'd also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Stephen for the work he's done on behalf of the Fedora Board.

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.

The bidding process is described in more detail at<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process</ref>.  Any interested

====Elections: Notice of change in voting period and correction of eligibility for the Board election====
====Bodhi v0.8 in production====
 
David Nalley announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-June/002972.html</ref>:
 
"Hi folks,


Wanted to make you aware of a situation that was discovered last night and responded to this morning.
Luke Macken announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-June/000808.html</ref>:


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
"https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates
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.

====Changes to the Packaging Guidelines====
"I'm happy to announce the results of our recent round of elections for
at-large seats on the Fedora Board and FESCo, and FAmSCo.  The results
are as follows:


[[User:Spot|Tom Callaway]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-May/000801.html</ref>:
=====FESCo=====


"Here is this week's change to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:
There were five FESCo seats up for election this cycle.  A total of
200 ballots were cast in the FESCo election.  Each of the eight
candidates could receive up to 1600 votes (200 ballots multiplied by 8
candidates).


---
<code>
Votes | Candidate
----------------------
1120 | Kevin Fenzi (nirik)
1020 | Bill Nottingham (notting)
764 | Tomáš Mráz (t8m)
699 | Peter Jones (pjones)
567 | Stephen Gallagher (sgallagh)
------------
535 | Kyle McMartin (kylem)
480 | Justin Forbes (jforbes)
398 | Iain Arnell (iarnell)
</code>


The systemd guidelines on naming unit files have been amended to tell packagers how to make compatibility symlinks for alternate service names should their service have had a different name in the past.
The top five candidates were Kevin, Bill, Tomáš, Peter, and Stephen.
Each will server a full two-term position on the Fedora Engineering
Steering committee.


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Naming
* * * * *


---
=====Fedora Board=====


These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC).
There were three open seats on the Fedora Board this election cycle. A
total of 204 ballots were cast.  Due to the system of range voting
that we use in Fedora elections, this means that each of the six
candidates could receive up to 224 votes (204 ballots multiplied by 6
candidates).


Many thanks to the Fedora Community, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.
<code>
Votes | Candidate
----------------------
833 | Rex Dieter (rdieter)
608 | Jon Stanley (jds2001)
607 | Peter Robinson (pbrobinson)
------------
421 | Robert 'Bob' Jensen (EvilBob)
367 | Andrea Veri (averi)
274 | Zach Oglesby (zoglesby)
</code>


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<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure</ref>
I'm pleased to have Rex and Jon return as members of the Board, and
welcome Peter to the Fedora Board as well. All three of these
individuals will serve full two-term positions on the Fedora Board.


Thanks,
Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader"

"Sorry for the late notice, though I did trail this a bit last week.
Tomorrow we're having a special Test Day, out of the usual Test Day
cycle (which will open for F16 in a few weeks), for World IPv6 Day.
Special thanks to Linda Wang for getting the ball rolling on this. You
can find the event page at:

Ticket Link: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2790
with full instructions on testing, including getting IPv6 set up, either
natively or through various tunnel providers. You don't need Rawhide for
testing, Fedora 15 is fine. I know IPv6 is scary to many (including me),
but look at this as an opportunity to help Fedora's IPv6 readiness while
learning about IPv6 from people who know what they're talking about! I
know that's what I'll be doing. The Test Day is in #fedora-test-day on
Freenode, all day long. Fedora QA and Linda's team will be there to help
with testing. Thanks everyone!

I know IPv6 is scary to many (including me), but look at this as an opportunity to help Fedora's IPv6 readiness while learning about IPv6 from people who know what they're talking about! I know that's what I'll be doing. The Test Day is in #fedora-test-day on Freenode, all day long. Fedora QA and Linda's team will be there to help with testing. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson, Fedora QA Community Monkey

Fedora Events

The purpose of 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. Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!
