Technical Announcements

John Palmieri (on behalf of Luke Macken and Mairin Duffy) announced the Moksha Project and the Fedora Community Project. They have been consolidating "the Fedora Infrastructure bits under one unified user interface", and have "decided to split the efforts into two projects."

"Moksha is a platform for creating real-time collaborative web applications. It provides a set of Python and JavaScript API's that make it simple to create rich applications that can acquire, manipulate, and visualize data from external services."

"Fedora Community aims at being a portal interface for Fedora Project members to collaborate within and find information about the diverse Fedora universe. It is created from applications built on top of the Moksha platform. Fedora Community is assembled from a wide-ranging set of modules that integrates existing Fedora Infrastructure components such as koji, bodhi, FAS, and PkgDB."

Fedora 11

The Fedora 11 Alpha freeze has passed, and "we still have a few feature pages in need of an update. Several have not been updated for a month or more," according to John Poelstra. If these pages are not updated by January 28th, FESCo will be asked to drop the features from Fedora 11.
