Fedora Vietnam Community

At the Go/No-Go meeting today, it was decided to slip the GA of Fedora  17 by one week. There are currently 4 remaining release blockers,  necessitating the creation of RC2. Minutes follow below

GA for F17 is now scheduled for 2012-05-29.  Adjustments to the schedule and wiki will be completed later today.

We will be meeting again next Thursday, 2012-05-24, for another Go/No-Go meeting.

Thanks for your patience!

As many of you know, FUDCon is the abbreviation for Fedora Users and Developers Conference, an event we typically hold 4 times per year in various regions of the world.  These events are proposed and arranged largely by Fedora contributors, and are designed to be events where contributors and those new to Fedora can learn, share, hack, and participate in various aspects of the Fedora Project.

It is with great pleasure that I am formally announcing two upcoming FUDCons:

FUDCon for the EMEA region in 2012 will be held in Paris, France, October 13-15, 2012.  This particular event will be held over those days in two locations; the first day, Saturday the 13th, will be held at the Eurosites Georges V facility, in conjunction with the Open World Forum (OWF), and on the 14th and 15th at Universcience. I’d like to thank Kevin Raymond and the rest of the FUDCon Paris team for putting together this bid, and for working with OWF to procure space during that event for the first day of FUDCon; I think that this will be an interesting opportunity to showcase Fedora to a captive audience that is passionate about open source.  I would also like to thank the other teams who submitted bids for the EMEA region.

The next FUDCon for North America will be held in Lawrence, Kansas, on the 18th through 20th of January, 2013, at the University of Kansas.  While you can peruse the bidding page for details, I’d like to note that Lawrence is home to many awesome things: It is the birth place of the Django Project, was pinpointed as the “center of the earth” in Google Earth, was the home of William Burroughs, is the location of the awesomely-named Free State Brewing Company, has been named a top-ten college town, and most importantly, is the collegiate location of our resident Wiki Czar and Doer of Stuff, Ian Weller, who, as you may have guessed, was also the author of this FUDCon bid. A big thank-you! to Ian for volunteering to put this together.

FUDCon planning continues, in grand tradition, to be open to everyone for participation; if you are interested in contributing to the discussion or lending a helping hand, I encourage you to subscribe to the FUDCon planning mailing list.

Nếu bạn đang dùng thử bản Fedora 17 x86_64 beta, rất có thể bạn đang gặp lỗi không update được các gói phần mềm mới do vấn đề khi cập nhật các gói samba4*. Đây là vấn đề xảy ra do quá trình đóng gói Samba 4 (trong thời gian beta) gặp sai sót, không bỏ qua gói libsmbclient (hoặc có thể cả libwbclient) vốn chỉ dùng trong Samba3.

Vấn đề này đã được trao đổi rõ trên mailing list của nhóm phát triển Fedora [1]. Trong bài viết này, tôi muốn hướng dẫn bạn cách xử lý vấn đề này trọn vẹn nhằm giúp bạn tập trung quay trở lại việc thử nghiệm các tính năng mới trong Fedora 17 .

Trước hết, bạn hãy cập nhật các gói phần mềm khác ngoài samba4* bằng lệnh:

yum update --exclude=samba4\*

Tiếp theo, bạn áp dụng phương án sau để cập nhật riêng các gói samba4* đang gặp vấn đề tương tranh gói:

1. Chạy: yum shell
2. Xem danh sách các gói samba4* đang cài trên máy bạn bằng lệnh: yum list samba4*
   Danh sách này sẽ được dùng trong các lệnh tiêp theo bên dưới.
3. Chạy các lệnh trong yum-shell:
   remove libsmbclient libwbclient samba4-client samba4-common samba4-dc samba4-dc-libs samba4-libs
install samba4-client samba4-common samba4-dc samba4-dc-libs samba4-libs
ts solve
ts run
quit

Cuối cùng, bạn thực hiện việc cập nhật tất cả các gói thêm một lần nữa: yum update.

Happy trying the upcoming Fedora 17

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… the Beta release of Beefy Miracle! Flying ’round the world at the speed of the  intertubes, delivering progress, mustard, and freedom to the masses.

We are delighted to announce the availability of the Beta release of Fedora 17.  Want to get a taste of the future?  Download it now:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease

== What is the Beta Release? ==

The Beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 17.  Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading to the general release of Fedora 17 in May. We invite you to join us in making Fedora 17 a solid release by downloading, testing, and providing your valuable feedback.

Of course, this is a beta release, meaning that some problems may still be lurking. A list of the problems we already know about is found at the Common F17 bugs page, seen here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F17_bugs

== Features ==

This release of Fedora includes a variety of features both over and under the hood that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free software.  Here are just a few of the new features:

On the desktop: GNOME 3.4 introduces many user experience improvements, including new search capabilities in the activities overview, improved themes, and enhancements to the Documents and Contacts applications.  A new application, GNOME-boxes, provides easy access to virtual machines. Additionally, GIMP 2.8, the newest version of the GNU Image Manipulation Program, brings new improvements such as single-window mode, layer groups, and on-canvas editing.

For developers: You never sausage a great array of development tools! Fedora 17 includes a pre-release of Juno, the release of the Eclipse SDK expected in June 2012.  Java 7 (and OpenJDK 7) is the default Java runtime and Java build toolset, and GCC 4.7.x is now the primary compiler in Fedora.  Other language refreshes include shipping Ruby 1.9.3, the latest stable version of the Ruby language, PHP 5.4, the latest PHP stack, and Erlang has also been updated to the R15 release.

Under the hood, and in the cloud: The Cluster stack in Fedora includes numerous and significant updates for both high availability and load-balancing applications.  Fedora 17 utilizes Linux kernel 3.3, with improved btrfs and ext4 filesystems, GMA (poulsbo) graphics and Broadcom wireless chipset support, and numerous other bug fixes and enhancements. Firewalld is now the default firewall solution in Fedora, providing dynamic firewall configuration capabilities.  Finally, OpenStack, a collection of services that can be used to set up and run
cloud compute and storage infrastructure, has been updated to the latest release, 2012.1 (Essex).

And that’s only the beginning. A more complete list and details of all the new features in Fedora 17 is available here:
