Thanks everyone for pulling this together.
Did Kerri say we have a "Fedora Team" author to choose from? Or should
we have a Marketing Project members do the posting? I think a few of us
have accounts to post to press.redhat.com.

Would be great to have any final input by about 12pm ET so that we can

Help Shape Fedora 9: Alpha Release Now Available
by Fedora Team
As Fedora (http://www.fedoraproject.org) contributors, one of the most
exciting parts of the development process of new Fedora distributions is
determining which cool, new features will be included in the next

During each Fedora cycle, there is an Alpha release, a Beta release and
release, and
a series of weekly snapshot releases.

The Alpha release gives everyone the opportunity to provide feedback on
the work that has been done so far as the first step in the testing
cycle. It's the first time that the larger Fedora community can get
really involved in testing out the new features and is encouraged to
provide input on what's working, and what's not. It's easy to gain
access to the Alpha release because you don't have to install any
software -- everything you need is provided through live CDs. Then, to
give us feedback, you can file bug reports and enhancement requests and
make other recommendations.
If you want to help us test and shape the next release of Fedora, you
can find details about the new features we're exploring, about how to
get involved in the Alpha release and about how to provide feedback and
release, and
get involved in the process by visiting our Fedora 9 Alpha release
involved with Fedora by visiting
notes. (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes)
