Unsigned nautilus packages in latest F10 updates
by Jesse Keating 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Due to an as of yet not fully understood bug, unsigned nautilus packages slipped into the last Fedora 10 updates push. I have a new updates push running with signed versions of those packages which should finish in the next 20 minutes or so. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will continue to investigate the root cause. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Fedora Board appointment
by Paul W. Frields 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

I'm very pleased to announce that Dimitris Glezos has been selected to fill the final seat on the Fedora Project Board. Many of you may know Dimitris from his tireless work in the Fedora Localization (L10n/translation) team, as part of its steering committee, his past work on Documentation including its steering committee, and additional work with Websites, Marketing, Ambassadors, and other groups. He is also the upstream creator of Transifex, a web-based application for enabling free and open source, cross-project translation services. Dimitris has extensive history and experience in growing FOSS contribution, breaking down barriers across all boundaries (including those of language and locale), vigorously collaborating with people throughout the Fedora Project, and working tirelessly in an open and transparent way that encourages trust, respect, and positivity. I hope the whole Fedora community will join me in welcoming him to the Board. The new Board will meet for the first time next week, on Tuesday 13 January 2008. Dimitris will join Bill Nottingham and Matt Domsch, who are returning as community-elected members, and fellow appointee Christopher Aillon. I speak for the whole Board when I say that we look forward to serving the community and that your input is always welcome. Please feel free to join the fedora-advisory-board mailing list to start a discussion if needed, or you may email us. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board -- Paul W.
