New Fedora 9 Re-spins

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO 
Re-Spins of Fedora 9.

These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 8 
installation media and include all updates released as of October 4th, 2008.

The ISO images are available for i386, x86_64 architectures via Jigdo 
and Torrent starting Tuesday October 7th, 2008.

Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits!

      DVD Media Only

Due to known problems in comps,  this is a DVD Only Re-spin. The CD 
version would have required all 6 to 7 discs to install.

      Full Installation Problems if Language Support Groups Selected

Selecting some language groups will cause file conflict errors, such as 
reported and explained in #465715 
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465715>

We would like to give a special thanks to the following for testing this 
Re-Spin:

Fedora Board IRC meeting 1800 UTC 2008-10-07

he Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 7 October
2008, at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode.  The public is invited to do the
following:

* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation.  This
channel is read-only for non-Board members.
* Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions.  This
channel is read/write for everyone.

The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public
channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting.  This should limit
confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone.

The Board has set aside one meeting of each month as a public "town
hall" style meeting.  We are *still* hoping to hold an audio-based
meeting at some point in the near future using some of the new resources
being developed by the Infrastructure team.  More news on this will be
forthcoming.  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Updated Beta images for x86_64 Live KDE and x86_64 Live XFCE

There was a small problem during image creation that led to the x86_64
Live KDE actually being the content for the x86_64 Live XFCE.  I have
recreated these images and updated the master mirror and the torrent
server.

For full disclosure, here are the SHA1SUMs of each:

6f32b75c09838a407371aec211e1951d357baf03 *F10-Beta-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso
04195ea383229bdd356188e86ba8c39985118abb *F10-Beta-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso

Note that while some of the other torrents have SHA1SUM files that may
reference the old sha1sums of these, they will not be replaced at this
time as that would reset existing down-loaders of other content and
cause undue complications.

Schedule updates for Fedora 10

Due to needing some more time for new features to mature a bit before we
cut our Beta, we've decided to move the Beta release date back to
Tuesday Sept 30th.

This move, combined with previous schedule slips has also driven us to
extend the rest of the Fedora 10 schedule dates by a week, resulting in
a final release date of Tuesday Nov. 25th.
