We tend to not care about elections, until it becomes too late to care about elections. And FOSS projects are no different.

For years we have very low attendance in Fedora Council, and only slightly better attendance at FESCo.

Thus, #Fedora people, please pay attention. We are entering the new Fedora election cycle and you should take a look at it.

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-elections-nominations-open-april-24/150255

Nominations for the Fedora 42 elections will start tomorrow and run until May 8, so think about whether you or someone you trust should run for a position!

The bodies with seats up for election are:

- Fedora Council (2 seats)
- Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (4 seats)
- Fedora Mindshare Committee (4 seats)
- EPEL Steering Committee (3 seats)

"But I am not running myself, what can I do?"

1) Think about who can represent your voice in #Fedora

2) *Tell them* that you think that they might be good at representing your voice in Fedora.

This is a critically important step, because often people who are good for these roles are not aware that they are good at them.

3) Learn about people nominated for elections. Talk to them, ask their opinion on various topics.

4) Vote.

What if Trump makes deal with Russia that ties up loose strings from WW2 era?

Russia gets most of Odessa & Transnistria along with Gagauzia and gives back Southern Kuril Islands to Japan.

Hungary gets Transcarpathia.
Romania gets Northern Bukovina, Southern Bessarabia, and Hertsa Region.

Ukraine becomes a rump state or merges with Poland down the road.

Moldova becomes a rump state or merges with Romania down the road.

EU, especially Germany gets stuck paying the bills.

We're all set for New Year's Eve!

EPEL 10 is now available! Thank you to the @centos project for enabling the early work we were able to do via CentOS Stream 10.

EPEL 10 already contains over 10,000 packages, built from over 3,600 source packages. This is a result of the hard work of over 150 Fedora package maintainers!

If Senate Republicans don't confirm Matt Gaetz as attorney general & Kash Patel as FBI director, President Trump should sign an executive order to dissolve the FBI by rescinding the July 26, 1908 order that the FBI calls its founding document.
