IMPORTANT - Fedora Project Contributor Agreement Signing Window Is Open
by Tom Callaway
Please take a moment and read this brief email, as it is important.
Fedora is in the process of retiring our old "Individual Contributor
License Agreement" (also known as the ICLA or CLA) and replacing it with
the new Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA).
All Fedora contributors with accounts in the Fedora Account System
(https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts) who have agreed to the old
CLA *MUST* agree to the new FPCA by June 17, 2011 to continue
contributing to Fedora.
Here is how you do this:
1) Login to the Fedora Account System:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts
2) Once logged in, click on the "My Account" link in the blue box on the
left side of the window.
3) On the page that loads, you will see a section labeled "Account
Details". Look for the line that says "Contributor Agreement". On that
line, you should see a new section that says:
"New CLA Not Signed - We need contributors to sign the new Contributor
Agreement(Complete it now!)"
Click on "Complete it now!" and follow the prompts.
*****
It is important that Fedora Account holders who have signed the old
Fedora CLA sign the new FPCA. We have allotted a window of one month for
Fedora contributors to agree to the FPCA. This means that after June 17,
2011, any Fedora Contributors who have not agreed to the FPCA will have
their "cla_done" flag set to False. This also means that any groups that
they are in which are dependent upon "cla_done", such as "packager",
"ambassador", and Fedora People access will be removed.
There are a few accounts which are exempt from this, specifically,
accounts which are members of the "cla_dell", "cla_intel", and
"cla_redhat" groups. If you do not know what these groups are, you are
probably not in them. :) Accounts in these groups will not see the "New
CLA Not Signed" line on their "My Account" page, and do not need to take
any action at this time.
Please take a minute and login to FAS to agree to the terms of the FPCA,
to avoid loss of access.
More information about the FPCA, including the final FPCA text, can be
found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement
If you have any additional questions about the FPCA or the re-signing
process, please feel free to email me directly at legal(a)fedoraproject.org.
Thanks,
Tom Callaway, Fedora Legal

4.6.3 status

QtWebKit

easier to rebase to latest version

split it
** ACTION: jreznik to take a look how to package qt/meego-qmf properly
* ACTION: Kevin_Kofler to split kdelibs-x11 from kdelibs (in the same way as Qt),

/etc/sysconfig/desktop?
by Neal Becker
Does F15 still use /etc/sysconfig/desktop to switch to KDM?
I don't see any such file, and:
yum provides /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Fedora 15 Final RC3 available: desktop testing needed!
by Adam Williamson
Hey, everyone. So the third release candidate for the final Fedora 15
release is now up, and this time we have live images, that work! I'm so
excited. (For RC1 and RC2 we had a couple of bugs which stopped some of
the live images from composing, and stopped those that *did* compose
from actually booting).
So as always, we need some desktop validation testing!
You can find the images at
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15.RC3/Live/ . The
desktop test instructions/results page is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_15_Final_RC3_Desktop
Grab an image, go to that page, click on the 'test case' links, do the
tests, and enter your results in the 'Test Matrix' table. I'm afraid
there is no 'profit' step, except the warm fuzzy feeling you get when
contributing to a new Fedora release. We need to do all the tests for
the 'desktop', 'fallback' (GNOME 3 fallback mode), and 'KDE' columns at
least, and it'd be good to get the tests done for the other desktops too
so we know where they stand. If you hit any bugs which are complete
fails for any of the tests, please file them at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com and mark them as blocking the bug
'F15Blocker' (or if you don't have the privileges to do so, poke me and
I'll do it). Thanks! If you have any questions, do go ahead and ask.

can't report crash kde plasma
by Neal Becker
crash reporting assistant asks to install debug symbols, but this fails for some
reason. I can't tell why, because the window immediately closes (something
about parsing metadata).
I tried editing /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora{-updates}.repo to set debuginfo to
enable=1, but no difference.

Fedora 14 and Plasma Netbook
by Anne Wilson
I thought I should try the netbook interface, but to my surprise it isn't
offered from the login screen. Has the option moved, or does it require extra
packages to be installed?

4.6.3
by Peter G.
Hey, what a surprise! This time the release caught me by surprise, instead of
me plucking it from koji ;-) It's downloading as I write.
