-I'm happy to announce that Toshio Kuratomi has accepted the responsibility of serving on the Fedora Board.  Toshio is a great contributor to open source in general, and has been actively collaborating with people throughout the Fedora Project for many years.  I have no doubt that he'll work tirelessly to increase the level of trust, transparency, communication, and innovation within the Fedora community.  I thank Toshio for his willingness to serve, and I hope the whole Fedora community will join me in welcoming him to the Board.
+====Fedora Board====
-Toshio will fill seat A2 (see the Board History<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/History

-My current tests indicate that we will not run into too much trouble with this and most things should continue to work just fine. However, of
+<references/>
-course I run only a small subset of packages of the fedora archive on my machine. So here's what might happen and which might need fixing over
-the next weeks in various packages:
-* Not all packages might be able to create their directory in /var/run on start-up. Since SUSE and Ubuntu have already been shipping systems with tmpfs on /var/run and /var/lock for quite a while I expect the number of packages that are incapable of doing this to be very small. If your software nonetheless fails with this issue, then there are two options to fix this: a) patch the program in question, so that it is able to recreate the directories in /var/run, or b) ship a simple drop-in file for /etc/tmpfiles.d/ which  recreates these directories on boot. (see below)
+==== poppler soname bump in rawhide ====
-* There might be permission problems, since the rpms might have set different perms on the subdirs of /var/run than the software itself might apply when starting up. In this case, a drop-in file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/ might  help. (see below)
+Marek Kasik announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-December/000729.html</ref><ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-December/000730.html</ref>
-* The SELinux policy might trigger AVCs and disallow creation of the dirs in question. In this case Dan will be of help of course, so make sure to file a bug. And I guess I don't need to mention this but temporarily falling back to permissive mode is a short-term workaround for this.
+"Hi,
-* In some cases daemons might want to create more than one file/dir below /var/run which are supposed to be labelled differently. In this case the daemon can either be modified to fix its labels up itself, or a drop-in file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/ might help (see below).
+I plan to rebase poppler in rawhide to poppler-0.15.3. There are some API changes (see below) and 1 soname bump of libpoppler.so.9 to
+libpoppler.so.11. You can test it against your package with this scratch-build<ref>http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2636922
+</ref>  I'll ask release engineers for chain-build of it in the middle of next week.
-* Many .spec files currently own subdirs of /var/run. These need to be updated to %ghost those dirs only, so that the automatic removal of these files/dirs on boot doesnt cause rpm to complain. The list of packages which own such files/subdir you find on the aforementioned feature page. I will mass-file bugs against these packages later tonight, requesting the %ghosting of these entries. For more information on the %ghost directive in .spec files see this page<ref>http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html#S3-RPM-INSIDE-FLIST-GHOST-DIRECTIVE</ref>
+Regards,
-Action items:
+Marek
-a) Lennart will mass-file bugs regarding %ghost usage tonight
+====Changes against 0.15.1:====
-b) Lennart will switch on /var/run and /var/lock on tmpfs either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
+core:
-c) YOU need to edit your .spec file and place a %ghost where appropriate.
+ * Improve shadings and antialias in the Splash backend (Bug #30436)
+ * Linearization improvements
+ * Small improvements to the Arthur backend
+ * Fix calculation of the size of some pages (Bug #30784)
+ * Fix crashes in broken documents
+ * Improve rendering of radial shadings
+ * Open a broken file (Bug #31861)
+ * Correct parsing of linearization table (Bug #31627)
+ * Find fonts inside patterns (Bug #31948)
+ * [win32] Simplify strtok_r implementation
+ * Use a std::vector instead of a var-length-array of chars
+ * Fix crashes in broken files
+ * Use sets instead of arrays for looking for duplicate fonts
-d) YOU need to test if you package still works, and if necessary file AVC bugs, add an /etc/tmpfiles.d drop-in file to your program, or patch it so that it is able to recreate these directories beneath /var/run on its own.
+qt4:
-On /etc/tmpfiles.d:
+ * Add Page::renderToPainter() method
+ * Add setDebugErrorFunction() method
-This is a new feature of systemd, but which is apparently very much liked by people outside of systemd, so this might actually find adoption
+cpp:
-even on systems which will not adopt systemd any time soon, since it actually is not specific at all to systemd. By dropping a simple
-configuration file in /etc/tmpfiles.d you can ensure that volatile files and directories are: a) created, deleted or emptied at boot b) their
-permissions/ownership fixed c) its directory contents cleaned up in regular intervals (a la tmpwatch) and d) it is properly re-labeled at
-boot.
-As an example, here's how such a file might look like for the screen package (name it /etc/tmpfiles.d/screen.conf):
+ * Add the hability to render pages to an image
+ * Include correction
+utils:
+ * Add -p flag to pdfimages
+ * pdffonts: Remove duplicated code
+build system:
+ * Remove -ansi flag for cywin and mingw
