The Fedora Project has pushed out its 9th release. The release announcement is one of those fancy story ones, without much actual information, but an earlier email by Fedora project leader Paul Frields had some more interesting things to say.

That in fact didn't happen, but is about to happen soon; the whole idea got delayed as we had lots of interested packagers but a lack of infrastructure and people willing to work on infrastructure bits. That slowed things down a whole lot, but we have most bits in place now and will start soon. The plan is to migrate users automatically over from Livna to RPM Fusion slowly once the repos are available.
Bye!
