=== Technical Announcements ===
=== Fedora Board Meeting ===


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."
[[PaulWFrields|Paul Frields]] wrote that "the Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 3 February 2009, at 1900 UTC on IRC Freenode."


"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."
* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.  This channel is read-only for non-Board members.


"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."
* Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.

[[TomCallaway|Tom Callaway]] announced that "after talking with Red Hat Legal about how we should be handling trademarks in package summaries and descriptions, we came to the conclusion that it would be far easier (and less risky for Red Hat) if we did not use "(TM)" or "(R)" notations at all."

=== Fedora 11 ===


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.
Fedora 11 Alpha is likely to be delayed for a few days (originally scheduled for February 3) due to a GUI checkbox bug in Anaconda and a problem with nfs-utils that prevented installs over NFS.
