Smith [1] on Tue Sep 13 13:49:39 UTC 2011 announced[2][3] the Fedora 17 Release Naming. The details of the report is follows: "It is once again time to choose the release name for the next Fedora release. Potential names will be accepted for consideration beginning September 13th (in other words, NOW) through September 20. Please submit your best ideas to the
Fedora wiki at the address below: [4] Please note that you *must* follow the instructions and guidelines at the page listed above if you want your name to be considered. For instance, there must be an "is-a" link between the name Verne (from Fedora 16) and the name you suggest.
That link must be different than previous links for Fedora release names. Also, we ask that you please conduct the required searches for brand and trademark names that might cause us problems. Read the full guidelines at the wiki page listed above, where you can also find full schedule details for the release naming process. For those of you interested in reviewing the history of Fedora release names, there is an appropriately named wiki page for doing so at [5] Please try to pick a name that is fun and creative. Don't delay... do it today! We all want an awesome name for Fedora 17!" * jsmith at fedoraproject.org * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-September/002995.html * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-September/002996.html * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_17 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/History_of_Fedora_release_names --- [Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines --- Tom Callaway[1] on Thu Sep 22 17:06:51 UTC 2011 announced[2], "The section of the Packaging Guidelines regarding Compiler Flags has been updated and improved, most notably, to document handling of PIE enabled packages. [3] The prohibition against unnecessary explicit library requires has been updated with an example of when explicit library requires are useful and allowed. The example addresses packages that use features of a library added after the library
initially adopted its current SONAME. [4] An additional md5 implementation was added to the list of bundling exceptions: [5] These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC). Many thanks to Kevin Fenzi, Adam Jackson, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines. As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here: [6] Thanks" * tcallawa at redhat.com * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-September/002997.html * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Compiler_flags * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires * https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries&action=""> * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure -- Fedora Development News -- The Development Announcement[1] list is intended to be a LOW TRAFFIC announce-only list for Fedora development. --- Acceptable Types of Announcements --- * Policy or process changes that affect developers. * Infrastructure changes that affect developers. * Tools changes that affect developers. * Schedule changes * Freeze reminders --- Unacceptable Types of Announcements --- * Periodic automated reports (violates the INFREQUENT rule) * Discussion * Anything else not mentioned above * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce --- F16 Beta Go/No-Go meeting --- Robyn Bergeron[1] on Tue Sep 20 19:25:41 UTC 2011 announced[2], "Join us on irc.freenode.net #fedora-meeting for this important meeting.

The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning.
Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora
events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!

-- Fedora In the News -- In this section, we cover news from the trade press and elsewhere that is re-posted to the Fedora Marketing list[1]. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/ --- Which Linux Distro Leads the Pack? (linuxinsider.com) --- Robert Jensen forwarded[1] a posting including Fedora 16 Alpha KDE and GNOME 3 screenshots: "...how do Linux bloggers have fun? That's right, by engaging in a little high-spirited debate -- not of some weighty, industry-changing subject this time, though, but of a matter very close to all of our hearts. It's time, in other words,
to ask the question once again: Which distro is best? It is with deepest gratitude to the ever-awesome geeks over at TuxRadar that Linux Girl calls your attention, dear readers, to a wonderfully thorough side-by-side comparison they recently performed on six of today's most popular Linux distributions:
Fedora, Mint, Arch, Ubuntu, Debian and OpenSUSE. Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza took issue with TuxRadar's inclusion of Fedora. "Putting Fedora at the top of a 'best distributions' list is like putting a prototype car at the top of a list of cars to buy this year," Espinoza told Linux Girl. "Fedora is the alpha test version for RHEL," he explained. "They break things there first. You'd have to be a nut to run it on a production system (though apparently, many people do) because the entire purpose of Fedora is to permit Red
Hat (NYSE: RHT) to try new things and break stuff." Discussion on the Fedora marketing list continued, wondering when the mis-perception that Fedora is primarily a development path for Red Hat Enterprise Linux would end[2][3] The full post is available[4]. * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-September/014027.html * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-September/014028.html * http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-September/014029.html * http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/Which-Linux-Distro-Leads-the-Pack-73240.html -- Ambassadors -- This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Ambassadors Project[1].
