Fedora Announcements
Fedora 13 Alpha Slip by One Week
Jesse Keating announced[1] "Today at the go / no-go meeting[2] we decided to slip the Alpha by one week. This slip is needed to verify blocker bug fixes and validate new builds of software necessary to fix those bugs. We are confident that the fixes we have are valid, however we do not have enough time to prove them valid. We will spend the next few days doing that validation. In the mean time builds will continue to be pushed to updates-testing for 13, and even to 13 stable, however critical path packages might not be pushed unless they are fixing a release blocking issue. Once we've validated all the fixes we will do more frequent pushes to 13 stable.
At this time we are not adjusting later milestone dates, as with no frozen rawhide we are not taking away any developer time."

Call for F13 release slogan suggestions
Robyn Bergeron announced[1]
"Greetings Friends,
We need a slogan for the F13 release. It will be chosen one week from now, on 3/2. A release slogan is a short call-to-action that fits the artwork theme from Design[2]. (F12's slogan was "Unite.")
If you are interested in suggesting ideas for the release slogan, please take a look at the Release Slogan SOP, and the criteria for selection[3]. The slogan must be:
- short (1-3 words)
- a call to action
- positive
It should reinforce that Fedora helps the user achieve something great. It should also reflect some of ideas and themes found in the release artwork, and, if possible, also touch upon the Four Foundations[4].
Please put your slogan ideas here[5]
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 3/2 at 20:00 UTC, which is our next Marketing meeting[6]. We'll be discussing submissions there, and then the FPL, Mo Duffy, and the Marketing team lead will take that input and select the final slogan on 3/2, following the marketing meeting. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns -- and let the wiki table know if you have any ideas!"
