Draft revision 1.1 Fixed project mispellings,errat misspelling, updated lifes to lifecycle. ______________________ start of DRAFT _____________________________ Press Release DRAFT: Who: The Fedora Legacy Team, made out of volunteers. What: The Fedora Legacy Project is an ongoing effort led and maintained by volunteers, which aims to provide security and critical bug fix errata for older versions of Red Hat Linux (RHL) and Fedora Core releases (FC) after their official End of Life, thereby allowing a longer effective life of those releases, closer to the lifecycle that most IT departments are used to having with the RHL versions that are currently in use. The project is still gathering volunteers and resources, as well as drafting the policies and security requirements, other press releases will be published as the project progresses. With current resources and volunteers it seems possible to start providing errata?s since January for RHL 7.3 and RHL 8.0 when these releases will reach their End of Life by Red Hat Inc. How: Groups of maintainers will produce the errata for their packages, these errata will undergo some classification and QA to be then released. Digital signatures will ensure the integrity of the process. Errata will only be created to fix security problems as well as serious bugs; no features will be introduced on the Errata?s, unless they are required for the future management of errata?s on that release. Where: Information on the project is currently available from the following places: 1. http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy 2. fedora-legacy-list Mailing list, for subscriptions and archive: https://lists.dulug
