How to orphan a feature? (OpenChange)

Clearly the OpenChange feature won't make it into Fedora 10, and as I
feel my energies are best spent on upstream development, I would like to
orphan the feature http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenChange and
the referenced packages (still pending review), for someone else to take
over for a future release. 

Aside from a note like this to the list, what else do I need to do?  

In particular, as libmapi/openchange has been approved, but not put into
CVS, how do I ensure this approval is useful to whomever comes after me?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett

system-switch-java

Hi devel team

Localization project is currently working on F10 translation, and found
that the module called 'system-switch-java' has not been requested it's
registration at Transifex for translation where all translators are
working on, please see the bug [1].

The package is on the list of Orphan packages[2], however it is not on
the list of Retired Packages[3].

Could you please advise us if this package still needs to be translated?

long-standing "can't connect to windows shares" bug...

Hi guys.

I have had problems connecting to Windows shares from nautilus 
(Places->Connect to server), since F9 was first released.

The problem is described in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448008 but the bug has seen 
no activity for a few months now.

Am I the only one hit by this problem, or is it in fact not possible for 
anyone to connect to a windows share from nautilus in F9?

I'd really love for this bug to get fixed in F9, but (at least) equally 
important, is having it fixed in F10 release.

Am I alone here (in which case I must be able to tweak stuff on the 
windows servers to get things going)? Or is this actually a problem for 
everyone, "depending" on Windows files servers (in which case the bug 
deserves a little more attention imho)?

Thanks for any feedback!

/Thomas

smolt-firstboot dependencies

Hello!

While spinning Rawhide I noticed that smolt-firstboot is picking mysql,
TurboGears and many python stuff as dependencies. Is that normal?

New mono SIG created

Hi,

If you are a user, packager or maintainer of any mono package, you may
like to know that there is now a SIG devoted to Mono.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Mono

I'm not quite sure yet how to set up a mailing list (I think it would be
really useful!) for it, but hey, it's early days yet!

TTFN

Proposal: Split Fedora into sub-distributions

It's come to my attention lately that Fedora has, essensially, become 
'to big for it's britches' (as you old farts like to say).
I think the time has come for Fedora to be split up into subgroups:

Fedora-Mainstream - For mainstream (ie., 'idiot') users... the types of 
people who buy a $399 Wal-mart POS and expect it to 'Just Work' forever.

Fedora-Mini- Generic group for all 'miniature' Fedora distributions... 
of which I'm sure I'm missing several.
    --Fedora-Embedded - Self explanatory I suspect
    --Fedora-Low-Bandwidth - For people on low bandwidth connections... 
this group would be primarily focused on 'how long will this take to 
download?'

Fedora-Development - Generic development platform

Fedora-HPC - The High Performance Computing segment

Fedora-Legacy - Everything older than a Pentium 3 (or, alternatively... 
all processors slower than ~1.0GHz).

Fedora-Server - Server distribution... should include all tools 
necessary to setup various servers

Fedora-Live - All of the 'Live' distributions should go here... anything 
from LiveCDs to LiveUSB images.

This proposal is far from complete... but I think it is necessary to 
stop trying to be a 'everything and the kitchen sink' distribution...
and instead focus more on the groups that use fedora. For instance, the 

Fedora not "free" enough for GNU?

I was just over at gnu.org to download the anniversary video recorded
by Stephen Fry, and while I was there decided to take a look at what
systems they recommend as being free.

They list BLAG, which is based on Fedora. But Fedora itself (and
Debian) is not there!

http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions

This struck me as rather strange, especially considering their
guidelines are actually based on Fedora's (and we are thanked for it):
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

As far as I remember, Rahul Sundaram was talking to the GNU / FSF
people about this quite a while back. Is it just the difference over
binary-only firmware that's consigning us to the "non-free" heap?

Help gpsim F-9 builds on x86_64 and i386 but fails on ppc

Below is what looks like the relevant part of the build log.
Any suggestions on why this is failing on the ppc but not on x86_64 and 
i386?

Why I'll leave fedora (french speaking people only) [1]

Pfff...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455277#c8

En fait, quand je me relis, je me rend compte que finalement je ne donne pas 
vraiment les raisons... Sans doute ai-je trop donné d'explications ailleurs.

Eh Trashy, Zig Heil !

No regards for ass holes

[1] You can read french?
I'm sorry, but don't forget french is the diplomacy language.

Hi,

Do I need to talk to anyone in particular to get a Mono SIG set up or is
it just something I can do?
