Dear all,
As announced before, over the last months, I have spent sometime working
on a web-application that would allow us to manage calendar: fedocal.
I started with the idea to replace the #fedora-meeting wiki page [1]
which in addition from not being up to date relies on a mediawiki table
which a number of person find really hard to handle/edit.
Additionally it should be able to handle meeting reminder in a
consistent and automated manner.
I also had in mind to be able to have a calendar for the infrastructure,
things like planned outage and all.
I spoke with some person about this at the last FUDCon in Paris and they
told me, it might be interesting to have a calendar also available for
the ambassadors.
Something that could/would replace the Events page [2]. This means that
on the contrary to the #fedora-meeting calendar, the ambassador one can
have several meetings at the same time and that we should be able to
assign them to a region (EMEA/APAC/LATAM/NA).
I took this into account and added the desired functionality to fedocal.
I think I am now close to an alpha release so I would like to call for
tester and feedback.
Do you like it?
Do you find it useful?
What should be added?
What simply doesn't work?
All can go to fedocal's trac:
http://fedorahosted.org/fedocal
If you are interested, I also wrote down some documentation:
http://fedocal.rtfd.org
And of course, fedocal itself:
https://fedocal.dev.fedoraproject.org
It is still a very young project and I am still trying to determine if
we want this and if it fits our needs.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Pierre

Hi,
at today's supplementary Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to
ship RC4 (release candidate) as the final release [1].
#agreed to ship RC4 as final release (with no votes against)
The release date is Tuesday, January 15, 2013!
Big thanks goes to everyone who helped with this RC3/RC4
testing effort and again to everyone who participated on
the whole release. Time for Fedora 18 release parties!

At the Fedora 18 Go/No-Go Meeting that just occurred, it was
agreed to Go for the Fedora 18. The release is planned for
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 [1]. See meeting minutes [2].
It was agreed that RC3 is GOLD for now, with possibility to
raise the status of RC4 to be the final release based on
outcome of supplemental testing due to the late acceptance of
bug #810040 [3].
The final call will happen tomorrow, Thursday, January 10 at
16:00 UTC (11 AM EST, 8 AM PST, 17:00 CET), #fedora-meeting-2.
Please help Fedora QA with supplemental testing - the RC2/RC3
test results will be pulled into the RC4 test matrices except
the test cases required for RC4 re-verification. An email with
more details will follow on Test list.
Our lovely Spherical Cow would like to thank you everyone for
that hard and sometimes dirty work that lead to it's release.
Moooooooo!

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-2 for this important
meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 18.
Wednesday, January 09, 2013 @19:00 UTC (14:00 EST/11:00 PST/20:00 CET)
Due to conflicts in Meeting IRC channel and to give us the flexibility
to have as long Go/No-Go as possible - we have to use #fedora-meeting-2
channel this time!
"Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet
to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release.
This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting."
"Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of
the QA Team."
For more details about this meeting see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting
In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 18 Final Blocker list:

We will meet in #fedora-meeting-1 because of conflict in IRC meeting
channel schedules.
