FEDORA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Final Board appointment, and IRC meeting reminder 2010-01-07 UTC 1700

Paul W. Frields, Fedora Project Leader, has appointed[1] Colin Walters to fill the final open seat on the Fedora Board for the next two releases. Paul has also briefed, "Colin has spent several years developing technology and community in the GNOME Project and around the varied landscape of Fedora's desktop. He brings to the Board a constructive, positive spirit to solving problems in Fedora and upstream. His recent work on advancing ideas and code for a unique but highly usable personality for the free desktop is also very exciting.

After getting the chance to meet and talk with him at FUDCon, I am sure he will be an excellent addition to the Board. I hope the Fedora community will join me in welcoming Colin, where he joins Chris Tyler as our other new member for this cycle.

The new Board will meet for the first time tomorrow in a public IRC meeting, on Thursday 7 January 2010, at 1700 UTC (12:00 noon US-Eastern). Departing, current, and new Board members are all expected at the meeting. Details about joining the IRC meeting are found here:[2]

As I've written before, the Board always welcomes community input.Please feel free to join the fedora-advisory-board mailing list to start a discussion if needed, or you may email us at any time with questions or issues.[3]"

Outage notification - Fedora mailing list migration - Sat-Sun Jan 9-10, 2010

Jon Stanley announced,[1]"There will be an outage starting at 2009-01-09, which will last approximately 48 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at[2] or run:

date -d '2009-01-09 HH:MM UTC'

  • Affected Services:

Mailing Lists

  • Unaffected Services:

Buildsystem, CVS / Source Control, Database, DNS, Fedora Hosted, Fedora People, Fedora Talk, Mirror System, Torrent, Translation Services, Websites,


Ticket Link:[3]

Reason for Outage: Migrate mailing lists from RHT infrastructure to Fedora infrastructure. Note that this outage will not be for the entire 48 hours, however, there will be times when mailing list traffic will be queued rather than immediately delivered. This will occur as large lists are migrated.

We will attempt to minimize any impact. Note that as the mailing lists are being renamed as well, therefore, the List-ID headers will change. You can find further information about the changes at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-December/msg00011.html

Thanks for your patience while we undertake this massive migration effort.

Contact Information:

Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to track the status of this outage.
