No need to list them twice. This is a pretty good start. My company has offered to take our draft and submit it to our PR firm, for them to gloss it up and make sure it gets to the right news agencies and whatnot. If anybody has an objection to this (final version will be put up for review on the list prior to submission) please speak up soon. Draft should be submitted to our agency on Monday. ______________________ 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 (FC) releases, after their official End of Life. This allows a longer effective life for those releases, and is closer to the lifecycle that most IT departments hope to get out of a Server Oriented Operating System. The project is still gathering volunteers and resources, as well as drafting 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 starting the First (1st) of January 2004 for some RHL versions, just as these releases 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 before being 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 new features or packages will be introduced on the Errata, unless they are required for the future management of errata 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: http://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list/ When: Now. Feel free to join in. __ Fedora Legacy is an independent entity and not officially sanctioned by Red Hat, Inc. * Red Hat Linux is a licensed trademark of Red Hat Inc. ________________________ end of DRAFT _______________________ -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
