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. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Day | Month | Event | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 12 | July | test1 | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | | | String change deadline (data provided) | | 25 | Aug | New major version slush (will be exceptions, like GNOME | | | | 2.8) | | | | test2 devel freeze | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 6 | Sept | test2, string build freeze (builds completed) | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 16 | Sept | Translation deadline (data provided) | | | | test3 devel freeze | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 27 | Sept | test3, translation build freeze (builds completed) | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | | ... | Continual freeze, only critical bugs fixed until release | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 6 | Oct | Absolute devel freeze | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 13 | Oct | Export approval, mirror master populated by EOD | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 14 | Oct | Release to mirrors (morning) | |-----+-------+----------------------------------------------------------| | 18 | Oct | Release open, announced | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

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 3And 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 ...
