Hi! Fedora 19 is close (let's hope it's alive) to the release and it's again the time to start planning for the upcoming version. For Fedora 20, in coordination with FESCo [1], the new Planning process was developed to replace the old, not satisfactory Feature process. In reality, it's pretty similar to the exercise we did for the Fedora 19 - with announcements, less burden for FESCo (and now also developers) for leaf, self contained changes and more time to coordinate system wide changes with impact to the rest of distribution and schedule. To emphasize the aim on the cross team/distribution coordination (development, documentation and marketing), Features are now called Changes. For the full description, policies and how-tos (to submit a proposal), see [2]. The new empty template is now available too, with detailed instructions how to fill it in. Again as we did for Fedora 19, final Fedora 20 schedule [3] will be based on the scope of submitted Change proposals. In the schedule, all milestones after the submission deadline are marked as "no earlier than" and we are not committed to make these dates! But this gives more information for non-development teams to plan Fedora 20 tasks. ===== IMPORTANT! ===== Change Proposals Submission Deadline is set to 2013-07-16. ====================== Don't hesitate to ask any question or we'll be more than happy to see more suggestions etc. For docs/marketing coordination more info will come via appropriate channels. PS1: Please, review your old Features that are in the Ready for Wrangler category (mostly as result of postponing F19 ones to F20) if you still plan to deliver them and let me know. I'll help you with transition to the new Change Proposal template. PS2: Flock talk/workshops are proposed for the new planning process, so we can follow up the FUDCon Lawrence discussion and also it will be right after Change freeze and I hope we will have more feedback and experiences with changes we made. Blog post with more details will follow soon.
