    Time Event
    4:02p
    [$] Fedora and LVM
    Those following the progress of the Fedora 18 development cycle cannot have failed to notice that the rework of Anaconda, the distribution's installer, is not going as smoothly as one might have liked. Complaints are common, and there is a real risk that installer problems will end up being what users remember about this release. Given that, it may seem surprising that the Fedora developers intend to change one of the fundamental decisions made by the developers of the new installer.

    Ubuntu: No more alphas, just one beta (The H)
    The H reports
    on a change     in the Ubuntu 13.04 release process. There will not be any
    13.04 alpha releases. "With there only being one beta and one final release of an Ubuntu version, the archive of code will now only be frozen late in the development cycle. This change could also allow for the introduction of Mark Shuttleworth's "Ta-da" features quite late in the development cycle, though currently it is unclear how they will be integrated into the tree; there could be a parallel testing effort for a version with those features included or if the features could be added earlier in the cycle to allow their testing to begin sooner."
