This *appears* to be a website issue
by Darr
I looked at all the other possiblities before bothering you, but did not see a link to anyone else that maintains the fedoraproject.org website.
I can't find a link to the torrents page (http://torrent.fedoraproject.org ) on any of the 'tabs' of the
"More download options..." page (https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options )
My ratios for fc12 stand at 443:1 for the i386 DVD, 231:1 for the x86_64 DVD, and 4:1 for the x86_64 CDs (never downloaded the i386 CDs), by the way. So I have provided 2.2TB+ of bandwidth for the fc12 project. It will be interesting (to me, anyway) to see the comparison of i386 and x86_64 bandwidth use for fc13.
Anyway... thanks!

Release schedules and Timezones
by Keith Duncan
Perhaps a non-issue for now, but with ref to following page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/13/Schedule
Where text reads:
======================
"Historically, Test and General Availability releases happen at
10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either 1500UTC or 1400UTC depending
on daylight savings in the United States. See Releases/Schedule for
more information about scheduling methodology and schedule milestone
definitions"
======================
Personally I tend to think of UTC as a fixed constant against which
time can be measured.
Eastern Standard Time is UTC-5
Eastern Daylight Time is UTC-4
Hence if the release time is "10.00am Eastern US Time" (assuming
Daylight saving is observed) then this would be UTC-4, otherwise
UTC-5.
I strongly suspect that to say "is either 1500 UTC or 1400 UTC" is
probably incorrect (unless the release time does genuinely change).
I _think_ perhaps the text should be re-phrased:
======================
"Historically, Test and General Availability releases happen at
10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either UTC -5 hours (or UTC -4 hours
if daylight saving is being observed in the United States). See
Releases/Schedule for more information about scheduling methodology
and schedule milestone definitions"
======================
For interest there is more info about timezones at
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/
(To all intents and purposes UTC and GMT - Greenwich Mean Time may be
considered the same)
As for me, I am based in the UK. I am assuming (maybe wrongly) that
the release time will be 10.00am Eastern Daylight Time (ie UTC-4), but
because the UK is currently observing daylight saving in the UK (BST-
British Summer Time) then I need to wait 12 mins or so (at time of
writing) until 1500 BST
1500 BST being the same as all of the following:
1500 UTC+1
1400 UTC
1000 EDT (ie 1000 UTC-4)
0900 EST (ie 0900 UTC-5)
Bottom line is that I suspect it is NOT the UTC time that changes
(1400 or 1500) as the page implies, but rather that it is the
time-difference between Eastern US Time and UTC that changes - ie 5
hours behind UTC or 4 hours behind UTC (if daylight saving observed).
Perhaps this minor change could be made for the future if you feel appropriate.
Many thanks,

spins.fp.o release day changes
by Sijis Aviles
All,
I'm attaching the changes that should happen for spins.fp.o. The one
thing not included is the KDE ISO URL (as i couldn't get to it).
The other thing to note is changes to the documentation. Maybe after
these patches are applied, someone should run the command below to
update docs.fp.o references
sed -i 's:f12/:f13/:g' data/content/*/index.html
I'll try to be online in the morning.

Website string additions and docs hack
by Ricky Zhou
Hi, those of you in web might have noticed a few last-minute changes to
fedora-web, including some string additions. These are there to handle
link changes on docs.fedoraproject.org. Recently,
docs.fedoraproject.org got updated with a new design/better navigation.
Unfortnuately, it didn't occur to me that it changed some links that are
in strings on the website - sorry about that.
For now, I've added a script build/docs-hack.py which uses sed to
replace old URLs with their new URLs (in the right language) after pages
are built. Soon, we will replace this hack with docs URLs in properly
translatable strings. We have started this process by adding a
data/totranslate.py containing URLs that have translated versions.
Some time after the release, I'm going to add these translated URLs to
the .po files.
The summary for translators is:
You don't really need to take any additional action now - we added some
new strings in data/totranslate.py which we will automatically add
translations to, and that should be it. Thanks for all the F13 website
translatoins, by the way :-)
Thanks,
Ricky

last-minute patch for www.fpo
by Máirín Duffy
Hi,
I was looking at http://stg.fedoraproject.org and realized there isn't
an easy way to get to get.fpo from the front page, just the small get
fedora link in the left. I think the #2 thing (besides learning about
what people do as #1) that people are going to want to do on release day
and for some weeks afterward is download the new Fedora.
This is a patch to put a get fedora button on the front page, to take
them to get-fedora easily. I've attached a screenshot too so you can see
what it looks like. I also have an update (I removed the binary patch
from the diff as its quite long) for the front banner because the
rounded corners need anti-aliasing.
Does anyone have any objections to me committing this patch?

Small sentence error in the Spin website
by Kévin Raymond
Hi there,
I am currently translating the website concerning spins, and just found this
sentence:
"Use KTorrent or KGet to get new the versions of Fedora KDE Desktop
Edition!"
Please, forgive that email if I am wrong, but I think that " to get new the
versions" is wrong.
This specific sentence is located there:
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/#about
in the fedora-web.master-spins-fedoraproject file.
Regards,

Hey,
Just an FYI Welcome Wizard != Fedora Tour, the welcome wizard is an idea for
Fedora Summer Coding and the mentor is Mike McGrath.

hey,
I know that it isn't the same thing but I'm not sure how having a
Welcome Wizard and a Fedora-tour (which will also run on start up) be
helpful. Maybe we need to loop Mike into this and see what's going on.

Ankur

Hey,
Welcome Wizard is for people who setup a new FAS account, and fedora-tour is
more like a first boot program that runs. So its all different, dont think
they have anything at common.
