Fedora 11 alpha - and a new community liaison

Fedora 11 alpha - and a new community liaison
[Distributions] Posted Feb 5, 2009 16:05 UTC (Thu) by corbet

The Fedora Project has announced the Fedora 11 alpha release, complete with the requisite doggerel poetry. It is definitely early-stage software, but the announcement helpfully notes that it "should boot on the majority of systems." This is a good chance for those who are interested in the upcoming Fedora release to help find bugs.

Fedora has also brought in Adam Williamson as a community liaison. "I am working for Red Hat as of this Monday. I have been hired into the Fedora QA team essentially to drive community involvement in the Fedora QA process. RH - and, to put a more personal touch on it, Jay Turner, who's responsible for Fedora QA - felt that Fedora could really benefit from more community involvement in the QA process, so my role is to try and help develop that." Adam previously did community work for Mandriva.
