Hi!
As the F20 Alpha is tomorrow, we need final text ready today to hand it
over
to people who do announcement (this time it's nirik). I'm not
sure I'll
make
today's marketing meeting, so quick recap:
I've done a quick review of current version - changed final release to
early
December, removed Vagrant change as it's not yet ready. The other
Changes
should be ok - marked as MODIFIED in Bugzilla. IRC chat posted down on the
page is commented out now.
One question - how do we want to reference Changes? When it's clear we
talk
about Changes (reference to ChangeSet), we should use it but we also
talk
a lot
about features in the text...
Otherwise I think it looks good, thanks a lot. Formatting for email is
still
needed, Robyn usually does it.
Fedora_20_Alpha_release_notes already points to
F20_Alpha_release_announcement.
Thanks
Jaroslav

If we are discussing Changes, we should call them Changes. The word
"feature" is natural in this context, but carries with it the connotation
of the now-defunct Features process. I have a similar tendency to use the
word "runlevel" for example, and make a conscious effort to use
"target" as
the correct term.
The Changes process in and of itself is a notable organizational
accomplishment. I see no value in obscuring our process for the sake of
using the familiar and overloaded "feature." Let the readers find it
strange if need be; it is a new thing, and this is the way of all new
things.
