Board appointment
by Paul W. Frields
I am pleased to announce that Christopher Aillon will continue in his
appointed seat on the Fedora Project Board for this cycle. His term
will last until the selection process following the release of Fedora
14, in accordance with the Board's established succession planning.
Christopher's presence on the Board has helped our discussions on a
number of subjects over the past year, and I look forward to having
him continue that relationship.
Apologies for making this announcement slightly after the beginning of
elections, due to the schedule change of elections and the intervening
FUDCon activity. The remaining Board appointment will be made after
the close of the Board elections.

Fedora 12 LXDE Spin available for download
by Christoph Wickert
Better late than never: The Fedora 12 LXDE Spin has arrived!
Sorry it took so long. While the actual problems [1] were solved within
2 days, it took a little longer to create the new ISO images. FESCo, the
Fedora Steering Committee, had to decide how to proceed with the new
images. The decision was scheduled for last weeks FESCo meeting, but due
to Thanksgiving and the holidays the meeting was canceled. Instead, we
voted in Trac [2], but as you all now a ticket system is not as fast as
a real time IRC meeting.
After that Jesse composed the new images and we needed to test them to
make sure we hit any bugs again. Testing was positive and now we have
the new images available for download at
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxde/
Grab them while they are still hot!
I apologize once again for the delay and would like to thank everybody
for his patience. A big thanks goes out to Jesse for supporting me.
I now declare this bazar opened!
Regards,
Christoph

The Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Thursday, December

is invited to do the following:
* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.

Upcoming multi-day outage
by Mike McGrath
Starting on December 12th The Fedora Project will start to move several
servers, disk trays and related hardware from our current hosting location
to another. This move is planned to be completed on December 15th and
will ultimately provide better hosting facilities and room for growth.
Since the servers will physically be loaded onto a truck and moved, this
means lots of services people rely on will be down. We'll be working hard
and using whatever tricks we have at our disposal to keep things as normal
as possible, for example http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ will remain up
(which includes the mechanism yum uses to get its mirror list).
Some critical services like the buildsystem will be completely unavailable
for 48 hours or longer. I'll be sending another update out as the day
gets closer to remind everyone. Also this is the official ticket we're
tracking with for those who care to watch it:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1845
Please do stop by #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or comment in the
ticket with any questions or concerns you have.
