Fedora Core 3 plan/schedule posted

Well, it's long overdue, but here's something.

Posted at http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/
is a preliminary draft of a schedule for Fedora Core 3, reproduced
below. (Please ignore the GNOME 2.6 typo in the online version;
that will be corrected.)

Obviously, a schedule doesn't say much about what's in it.
Here at Red Hat we're working on various things for Fedora Core 3:

- GCC 3.4 - those that have looked at rawhide will have noticed this
- GNOME 2.8
- KDE 3.3
- SELinux, yet again. This includes a new 'targeted' policy that
    monitors specifc daemons with less intrusion than the strict
    policy in use before.
    https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2004-May/msg00096.html
- IIIMF - continued evolution of the new input framework
- Indic language support
- Various desktop-related features, including, but not limited to:
  - Pango support for Mozilla
  - Remote desktops using VNC
    http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2004-June/msg00007.html
  - Printing improvements
    http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-June/msg00370.html
- Evolution 2.0

And, random other stuff, of course.

I'm sure there's other stuff people would like to see. What sorts
of things?

Bill

PRELIMINARY Fedora Core 3 Schedule

   This schedule is preliminary; it may be modified at any time.

   Test users should continue to file bug reports against each test release
   even after we have frozen for the next test release; all feedback is
   helpful.

And how this relates to touted Fedora's "community process"?

I see business-plan, not really sort of plan of coordination for RH employees and independent developers.

Does anyone has more news about Fedora's "community process"?

Head on over to the fedora-devel-list mailing list if you want to give your input on FC 3

And you get what for your effort?

  • public CVS access (as we have in Mandrakelinux)
  • ability to upload packages (as we have in Mandrakelinux)
  • ability to upload packages in the main distribution (as some contributors to Mandrakelinux have)
  • commit access in CVS (as some contributors to Mandrakelinux have)

Until all of those are available, it's much more worthwhile giving my input to Mandrakelinux ...
