Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 153 for the week ending November
30th, 2008.

This week many of us enjoyed Thanksgiving turkey and we all enjoyed a
full helping of Fedora 10 and were left stunned and satisfied. In
Announcements the availability of third-party repositories and
end-of-life of Fedora 8 are detailed. Developments catches up with
"Power Management and Filesystem Parameters" and a promising initiative
to bring the man pages up-to-date. Artwork passes on some kudos for the
"Release Banner for the Website" and the demo of some awesome
"Stickers". Don't forget to peruse the SecurityAdvisories!

It was a pretty quiet week in Fedora-land. Nothing really happened, so I
guess we can just move ahead to the next section of Fedora Weekly News.

Wait, what? Oh, yeah... how silly of me! I guess there was that one
small announcement, like the general availability of Fedora 10 on
November 25.
Fedora 10

Keeping with tradition, the Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields wrote[1]
a thank you message to the Fedora community on the eve of the release.

Also keeping with tradition, on the morning of the release, a
"whimsical" announcement was sent[2] out on the morning of the release.

Naturally, some of the third-party packagers of Fedora (RPM Fusion and
ATrpms) made their repositories available for Fedora 10 on the release
day also [3,4].

Chitlesh Goorah reminded[5] the community that the Spins SIG has
released seven Fedora 10 respins, all of which can be downloaded from
spins.fedoraproject.org.

Finally, Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst sent a congratulatory email to the
Fedora community [6].
