Fedora Unity releases updated Fedora 9 Re-Spin
The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins (DVD) of Fedora 9. These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 9 installation media and include all updates released as of July 18th, 2008. The ISO images are available for i386 and x86_64 architectures via Jigdo starting Sunday, July 20th, 2008 (or, right now). We were unable to include CD Image sets this time, due to problems we are experiencing ordering the packages and sorting them amongst the different discs in the set. A default installation would have required all discs. With this particular Re-Spin though, we address the following problems: - #445517, Anaconda crashed during selecting packages (installation mode); Translation of plural in Russian made anaconda fail during the selection of packages, if the installation was done in Russian - #445974, minstg2 installs fail - missing /usr/sbin/lspci We would like to give a special thanks to the following for testing this respin within 2 days - Harley-D Dana Hoffman Jr - zcat Jason Farrell - Sonar_GuyScott Glaser - Southern_Gentleman Ben Williams - kanarip Jeroen van Meeuwen Fedora Unity has taken up the Re-Spin task to provide the community with the chance to install Fedora with recent updates already included. These updates might otherwise comprise more than 1.91 GByte of downloads for a full install, and an additional 265.69 MByte for pulled in dependencies. This is a community project, for and by the community. You can contribute to the community by joining our test process. A full list of bugs, packages and changelogs that have been updated in this Re-Spin can be reviewed on: http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20080718/ Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits! If you are interested in helping with the testing or mirroring efforts, please contact the Fedora Unity team. Contact information is available at http://fedoraunity.org/ or the #fedora-unity channel on the Freenode IRC Network (irc.freenode.net).

Announcing the Fedora OLPC Special Interest Group
The engineers at OLPC are busy building an educational experience for the kids of the world. They are basing their excellent work on Fedora. Their time is stretched perilously thin. Every hour an overworked OLPC engineer spends doing Fedora work is an hour they could be spending doing something else. We in the Fedora community can therefore have a huge, direct, and immediate impact on the success of the OLPC project. Thus, I am proud to announce the formation of the Fedora OLPC Special Interest Group. Our mission: to provide the OLPC project with a strong, sustainable, scalable, community-driven base platform for innovation. Immediate Goals: 1. To identify and take responsible ownership of as many OLPC base packages as possible. 2. To maintain an excellent Sugar environment for Fedora, including a dedicated Sugar spin. 3. To identify useful opportunities for collaboration (infrastructure, localization, etc.) We should convene our first meeting as soon as possible. If you are interested in participating, please join the Fedora OLPC mailing list here and introduce yourself: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-olpc-list --g -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
