| There is now a new Fedora [[Updates Policy]], says<ref>http://rambleon.usebox.net/post/1209374581/fedora-updates-policy</ref> [[User:Jjmartinez|Juan J. Martínez]]. "I think it’s worth reading because, as the announcement says, it can be improved, clarified and adjusted; but it’s a very good starting point."

|
| And to ensure that updates can be installed smoothly, [[User:Wwoods|Will Woods]] explained<ref>http://qa-rockstar.livejournal.com/10187.html</ref> how the AutoQA process and depcheck<ref>http://qa-rockstar.livejournal.com/10368.html</ref> can be used "to be sure that they (Fedora update packages) don't have any unresolved dependencies that would cause yum to reject them (and thus cause everyone to be unable to update their systems and be unhappy with Fedora and the world in general."

Frields]] has been transitioning<ref>http://paul.frields.org/?p=3416</ref> to a new role at Red Hat, "Operations Manager", but will still maintain an active presence in the Fedora community.

I’m always surprised by that, but I’m happy to give some more details here." [[TomCallaway|Tom Callaway]] outlined<ref>http://spot.livejournal.com/315875.html</ref> some other transitions at Red Hat and the employment opportunities now available. [[User:Poelstra|John Poelstra]] has<ref>http://poelcat.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/want-to-be-the-next-fedora-program-manager/</ref> more details on the new "Fedora Program Manager" role.

Among the highlights: "The Board for the past two months or so has been working to put together a solid vision statement for Fedora, to help guide what we do.
