Start of F11 Marketing and Press Push

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All,

The press push for Fedora 11 will be in full effect starting tomorrow. Below is what I will post to the Fedora planet and submit to other news channels tomorrow. Something will be posted about this to announce list tomorrow. Also, this is what should be distributed by the NDN folks and please ambassadors and others if you can help drum up support by linking to this, that would be great.

Of course let me know what you think. I will be tweaking this again assuming I get some good feedback. I will be back on the computer at around 11pm.

Thanks
Jack

The Countdown to Fedora 11 - "Fedora 11 General Overview with Fedora Release Engineer Jesse Keating"

Fedora 11 is less than two weeks away. The excitement is in the air as well can't wait to see the product a more than a few long months of hard work. It's prime time to start the countdown clock and start talking about the upcoming release, talk about what users can expect to see, highlight new features and describe some of the enhancements that we can all look forward too. As part of a series of Podcast and print interviews, Today, I would like to present the first podcast in the Fedora 11 Podcast series, an Interview with long time Fedora contributor and Fedora Release Engineer Jesse Keating. The Audio can be found here:

In the interview, Jesse talks to us about the achievement milestone of putting together 11 releases, the process of planning and putting together a Fedora release, how it was done for F11 and also some of the tools, which he helped create which are used to put together the Fedora distribution. He talks about Pungi [https://fedorahosted.org/pungi/] and Revisor [http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/] which are tools used to compose the Fedora tree and create a custom remix or re-spin, respesctively. He also talks about some of the changes which have taken place under the hood to enable Fedora's new super fast boot up. Jesse takes us on a whirlwind tour of some of the greatest enhancements we can look forward to in F11, including changes to PackageKit and a new upstream version of RPM, the new default ext4 filesystem, enhanced fingerprint support for authentication and what we can look forward to in the future releases of Fedora.

The Full Fedora 11 Feature list can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList and you can look forward to more in depth coverage of some of those features and of the upcoming release in the days to come. Fedora 11 is sure to prove a highly innovative and technology advanced release.

Fedora 11.  Get ready.  There's reason to be excited!
