The Fedora Elections campaign period has been extended to Monday, December 7th, 23:59:59 UTC.
The Fedora Elections cycle for November/December 2015 is currently in progress and the Nomination period just ended on Tuesday. Here is a quick visualization for numbers of vacant seats versus the number of nominations received.
Env & Stacks had four open seats, but unfortunately, only two nominations were received. As a result, the Elections for Env & Stacks WG are currently on hold. According to the ongoing discussion here, Env & Stacks WG is probably going to turn into a discussion platform with no need for a steering committee.
This cycle has seen some diverse nominations from the Fedora Community with nominees from around the globe and lots of first-time nominees (especially for FAmSCo) along with incumbents. Additionally, many past candidates are applying for different seats than they normally hold.
Track the status of Elections here and keeping watching this space for Election Campaigns, including Candidate Interviews and more!
If you are a nominee, you have received an individual email asking you to publish answers to questions from the Election Questionnaire (and other information if you choose) on the Fedora Community Blog. If you are a nominee and have not received this mail, please contact bee2502 for FESCo nominees or jkurik for FAmSCo and Council nominees (IRC : #fedora-commops).

Fossetcon is the second annual event in Orlando and the surrounding areas. The Free/Libre and open source software expo/technology conference (FOSSETCON) was based upon free open and diverse expressions within the community. The events main focus was directed on the open and free aspect of software and technology. The event’s organizer Mr. Bryan Smith is a very enthusiastic and dedicated individual that strived for nothing less in the conference.
On November 16th, HP released a HPLIP 3.5.11 which adds support for the newly released Fedora 23, OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 and Ubuntu 15.10. It also included support for custom AppArmor profiles, SELinux and discovery of network scanners. For more details please check out the release notes and knowledge base article.

Flock 2016 planning is in progress! Flock is the annual conference for Fedora contributors to come together, discuss new ideas, work to make those ideas a reality, and continue to promote the foundations of the Fedora Community: Freedom, Friends, Features, and First.
Each year, project leadership works with community members who submit bids to bring Flock to their city. Flock alternates between a North American venue and an European venue each year. More Europe proposals are needed soon for next year’s event. So far, there are two bids in France, but for budget reasons, it does not seem like they will be possible. There is another bid in progress for Vienna, Austria.
It’s not too late to get a proposal in for another city! You can also look at the winning proposal for the city that hosted Flock 2015. If you want to send in a bid, two important things to focus on are cost and convenience. One popular feature of the 2015 site was that the hotel and convention center were in the same building. This would be a major boost to any 2016 bid.
If you are interested in bringing Flock 2016 to your city, you can find information on that process on the Fedora Wiki.
Send any questions to flock-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org, the official mailing list for all planning and coordination for organizing Flock every year.
Across the Linux and Fedora communities, there are several members of various communities that write and maintain their own blogs across all four corners of the world. With that being said, both of these communities are large and sometimes it’s a challenge to keep track of an individual contributor’s blog versus all of the other noise on the Internet. How can one expect to keep up with what’s going on in the world of Fedora and the greater Linux community? Fortunately, the Fedora Project offers a solution to this problem: Fedora Planet!
