=== Fedora 11 Release Name ===
=== Technical Announcements ===
 
At FUDCon Boston, Paul Frields announced that "Leonidas" had won the vote, and will be the code name of Fedora 11.  There was much screaming and yelling, and reciting of lines from "The 300".

John Palmieri (on behalf of Luke Macken and Mairin Duffy) announced the Moksha Project and the Fedora Community Project. They have been consolidating "the Fedora Infrastructure bits under one unified user interface", and have "decided to split the efforts into two projects."


=== FUDCon Boston ===
"Moksha is a platform for creating real-time collaborative web applications.  It provides a set of Python and JavaScript API's that make it simple to create rich applications that can acquire, manipulate, and visualize data from external services."


FUDCon Boston was a great success.  Not only are many videos from the sessions available on the Fedora Wiki, but there is also a collection of blog posts from various attendees.
"Fedora Community aims at being a portal interface for Fedora Project members to collaborate within and find information about the diverse Fedora universe.  It is created from applications built on top of the Moksha platform.  Fedora Community is assembled from a wide-ranging set of modules that integrates existing Fedora Infrastructure components such as koji, bodhi, FAS, and PkgDB."

=== Technical Announcements ===
Tom "Spot" Callaway announced that the Fedora Packaging Committee has made some changes to the packaging guidelines.  For details, read the full announcement linked below.


Jon Stanley announced that he and Dennis Gilmore "are beginning an effort to migrate fedora-* redhat com to lists.fedoraproject.org."  There are several benefits to this move, including greater control of the Fedora lists, a stronger Fedora identity (@lists.fedoraproject.org as opposed to @redhat.com), and the ability to be more responsive to community requests.

=== Fedora 11 ===


Jesse Keating announced that on January 20th, "we will be doing a non-blocking freeze of Rawhide to be the basis of Fedora 11 Alpha.  Only targeted fixes will be pulled into the Alpha tag after the freeze.  Rawhide itself will continue on as to not disrupt development."
The Fedora 11 Alpha freeze has passed, and "we still have a few feature pages in need of an update. Several have not been updated for a month or more," according to John Poelstra.  If these pages are not updated by January 28th, FESCo will be asked to drop the features from Fedora 11.
