Editor’s note: This is the same Fedora program update (and before that FPgM weekly report) that you know and love, now with a more enticing title!
Here’s your weekly Fedora report. Read what happened this week and what’s coming up. Your contributions are welcome (see the end of the post)! The mass rebuild is under way.
