This is a reminder that as of January 7, 2009, Fedora 8 will be
end-of-life and no further updates, including security updates, will
be released at that time, and new builds will not be allowed in the
buildsystem.
Also as of that date, all open bugs against Fedora 8 will be CLOSED WONTFIX.
Thanks!

Two Oregon educators who founded the K12Linux project seven years ago are glad that they have been able to hand that project over to Fedora, the home they always meant for K12Linux to have.
Paul Nelson and Eric Harrison met online when Nelson, a classroom teacher and technology director at a small school in Portland’s Riverdale [...]

for Fedora 10:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/
There are lots of new changes and additions!
* With the combination of Fedora 10 and the new RPMFusion

yum configuration anymore! There are still instructions in
the FAQ on how to configure [...]

Hi All,
It’s that time of year again. Time to start the naming process
for the next Fedora release.
To recap on the rules:
1) <NewName> must have some link to Cambridge
More specifically, the link should be
Cambridge is a <blank> and
<NewName> is a <blank>
Where <blank> is the same for both
2) The link between <NewName> and Cambridge cannot be [...]

Hello there,
While astronomers took first ever pictures of other planetary systems
[1] last month, the fedora community was building its own planetary
systems. Some say one planet isn’t enough, other strive to enlarge
their own planet. While F-10 Cambridge elevates the performance
barrier and much more, other planetary spins have been geared to
specific applications.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the following spins [...]

As a reminder, Fedora has a policy of ending maintenance for a release
one month after the release of Fedora N+2 (i.e. Fedora 8 maintenance
would end one month after Fedora 10 was released). In this instance,
that date would be December 25.
At today’s FESCo meeting [1], it was decided to slightly deviate from
this policy. [...]

Glancing at the features list for Fedora 10, at first you might be unimpressed. Many of the features are basically infrastructure improvements, fixing known problems and enhancing performance while laying the groundwork for future developments. However, infrastructure affects almost everything you do with your computer, and the more you use Fedora 10, the more you [...]

Fedora might not be getting a complete makeover or flashy new features in version 10, out today, but some welcome enhancements under-the-hood make this a worthwhile upgrade.
If you’ve never given Fedora a try, now is a great time. The tenth revision slick and stable and it has a rock solid feel to it that, for [...]

audio and video — including, [...]

As we all get ready for tomorrow’s release, I wanted to congratulate
everyone in the community on Fedora 10, and say a few words of thanks
as well.
For Fedora 9, I wrote an enormous congratulatory email tome. I’m
pretty sure that if printed and left somewhere without anyone keeping
an eye on it, it would actually collapse into [...]
