The main conference day and social event will be on Saturday (to attract the most people), with hackfest days on Friday and Sunday. FUDCon is always free to attend, no matter where in the world it is located. "
2. To maintain an excellent Sugar environment for Fedora, including a dedicated Sugar spin.

[[JesseKeating|Jesse Keating] announced[1]:
[[JeroenVanMeeuwen|Jeroen van Meeuwen]] informs us[1]:


"Until further notice the email to trac gateway for rel-eng has been disabled.  We've been unable to cope with the spam attacks and the subsequent mail loops that have been created, and thus we have disabled the gateway.
"The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins (DVD) of Fedora 9.


For the time being if you need release engineering to do something for you, please use the web UI to file a ticket."
These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 9 installation media and include all updates released as of July 18th, 2008. The ISO images are available for i386 and x86_64 architectures via Jigdo starting Sunday, July 20th, 2008."
