-====CC license changeover complete====
-Ian Weller  announced about the CC license changeover completion <ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-November/msg00001.html</ref>. He mentioned, “The Docs team has finished converting all current documentation and project content from the OPL to a CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported license.

-to freer documentation for Fedora 12!”
+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no
+longer be using SysV Initscripts as a primary service mechanism, Red Hat
+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript#Careful_Handling_of_.2Fvar.2Flock.2Fsubsys.2F.3Cservice_name.3E_mechanism</ref>
+---
+The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of
+md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines#Things_To_Check_On_Review</ref>
+---
+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about
+when it is appropriate to have an explicit Requires on httpd & mod_php,
+how to handle explicit Requires on PHP extensions, and how to handle a
+Requires for a minimum PHP version.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Apache_requirement</ref>
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Extensions_Requires</ref>
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Requiring_a_Minimum_PHP_version</ref>
+---
+A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines,
+covering Packaging of Additional RPM Macros.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_of_Additional_RPM_Macros</ref>
+---
+A new section on the Documentation= field in systemd unit files (F17+)
+has been added.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Documentation_field</ref>
+---
+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.
+All current versions of Fedora (and their respective RPM versions) treat
+the Group tag as optional. Packages may include a Group: field for
+compatibility with EPEL, but are not required to do so.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Group_tag</ref>
+---
+The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example
+spec file, as it is no longer valid.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Example_spec_file</ref>
+---
+These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging
+Committee (FPC).
+'''Many thanks to Remi Collet, David Malcolm, Vit Ondruch, Lennart Poettering, Michael Scherer, Dave Sullivan, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.'''
+As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If
+you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
+suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:

+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
-<references/>
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
+If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so,
+the ticketing system is now open for those requests.  Requests will be
+accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests
+without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to
+attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora,
+and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
+: Pre-register at
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
+put an X in the $$$ column
+: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request
+ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest</ref>
+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
+There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably,
+our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum
+conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate
+in and learn about open source projects.  OWF had nearly 2000 attendees
+last year.  Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach
+FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for
+affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :)
-====Announcing Fedora-Medical SIG.====
+We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette
-Susmit shannigrahi had announced Fedora-Medical SIG<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-October/msg00008.html</ref>. On his announcement, he mentioned how the idea came from (Fedora India mailing list <ref> https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-india/2009-July/msg00060.html</ref>), how to make the Fedora Medical SIG successful, the initial SIG page <ref> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMedical</ref> and the goal of the SIG. He said, “Simply put, the goal of the SIG is going to be:
+Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.
+However, this rate will expire at the end of August, and any remaining
+rooms in our block will expire.

+Bugs and enhancement requests can be filed here:

+Major changes in bodhi 0.9.2
+---------------------------------
+* fedmsg support! Bodhi now fires off messages for various events that occur. Join #fedora-fedmsg to see it in action. (Ralph Bean)
+* Re-organized the links on the front page, and link to the new Update Feedback Guidelines
+* The submitter of an update can no longer effect the karma (Till Maas)
+* Fix duplicate status change email notifications. (Till Maas)
+* Mention age of updates in testing digest mails (Till Maas)
+* Support e-mail threading in notification e-mails (Till Maas)
+* Add X-Bodhi mail headers (Till Maas)
+* Gracefully handle private bugs (Cole Robinson)
+* Set the default request for new updates to 'testing' in the web form
+* Fix a bug in our critpath policy that occurs when a critical path update to a pre-release reaches the minimum amount of time in testing, but is unable to push to stable.
+* Fixed the input box alignment in the login box (Kalpa Welivitigoda)
-He said, “This e-mail is designed to let you know about two things happening around November 17, 2009 (Fedora 12 release day) and what you need to do, if anything.
-(1) We will be automatically changing the version all rawhide bugs to Fedora 12.This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 12 development cycle being changed to version '12' instead of their current assignment, 'rawhide'.  This is done in order to more accurately tell where in the lineage of releases the bug was last reported because over time 'rawhide' becomes ambiguous.
+Full list of changes since 0.8.7
+--------------------------------
-Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are against component 'Package Review' or bugs that have the 'FutureFeature' or 'Tracking' keywords set. They will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely.
+Kalpa Welivitigoda (1):
+      fixed input box alignment issue in login box #579
-If you do not want your bugs changed to version '12', add the FutureFeature keyword.  If you need help changing a large amount of bugs manually, we'd be glad to help. Stop by #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net and we'll help you.

-====Notice: Fedora 12 Tagging Status Update====
+====Fedora 18 Alpha to slip by another one week====
-Warren Togami announced <ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-October/msg00007.html</ref> that Fedora Release Engineering had decided to deal with the 250+ backlog of Bodhi update requests by tagging them all into f12-final. Bodhi is now disabled for Fedora 12 updates. He said,
-"Questions
+* Contributor: [[User:JaroslavReznik|Jaroslav Reznik]<ref>jreznik at redhat.com</ref>
-) Why tag all Update requests into f12-final?

-At this point of the schedule we realized that there were updates sitting in the queue from since October. They were sitting there. Not getting pushed to any repository. Rawhide gives these packages several more weeks of testing exposure. This was decided to be better than a flood of day zero updates that are poorly tested.
-) When will we be able to submit Updates again?

-<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/</ref>
+will be pushed out by one week.
-Please file tag request tickets here if you want your package build to be included in Fedora 12. Please include details like:
-* Full Name-Version-Release of your package(s)
-* What changed?
-* How risky is this change?
-* How important is this change?
-* How well tested is this package build?
-* Is this package in the critical-path list?
-) Which packages are critical-path?
+The next Go/No-Go meeting is on Thursday Sep 06, same place
-<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa-results/2009-October/001714.html</ref>
+but different time (19:00 UTC, 3 PM EDT, 21:00 CEST
-Unfortunately we do not yet have a permanent URL with the critical-path list. This page contains an auto-generated list of critical-path packages as of today.
+#fedora-meeting).
-If your package is not critical-path and not a risk to others to update, then it is highly likely proper to tag at this point of the schedule.
-) How many untagged packages are there?
+If you have an accepted blocker bug, please try to fix it
-koji list-tagged --latest dist-f12-updates-candidate
+as soon as possible to help us with Fedora 18 Alpha release!"
-This command lists all packages that are not tagged for f12-final. In some cases these are false positives because a newer package is instead tagged into f12-final. After you have tested your package and verified it doesn't make things worse, please file rel-eng tickets to have it included.
-Please direct questions to fedora-devel-list.“
