Announcements
In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project[1] [2] [3].
Contributing Writer: Max Spevack
Fedora 9 (Sulphur)
Fedora 9 has reached its end-of-life[1] and will no longer receive any updates.
Fedora 10 will continue to receive updates until about 1 month after Fedora 12's release, and Fedora 11 will be updated until about 1 month after Fedora 13.
Meeting Logging
A new tool for IRC meeting management[1] is available for Fedora channels on Freenode. Jon Stanley[2] explained that the tool "was developed by our friends over at Debian, who are using it to record their meetings as well. We would like all Fedora meetings to be recorded using this mechanism, such that there's one format for all of the logs."
Fedora Packaging Committee
There is an open seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee[1]. Those who are interested should contact Tom Callaway[2].
Resources for packagers
Kevin Fenzi[1] has "setup some machines/virtual instances here to assist maintainers that might not have access to all versions/arches Fedora runs on."[2]. If you want more information, see the appropriate wiki page[3].
