<html><body><p>So I looked up at the clock today and discovered it was 3pm and I'd spent the last five hours in <a href="http://www.tvtropes.org">TV Tropes</a>. That site is crack, I tells ya. The link to <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/365143">the impossible quiz</a> didn't help either. Last time I got stuck in Tropeland it cost me a day <i>plus</i> the time it took to read the entire <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html">Order Of The Stick</a> archives. "My last breath...is also my mintiest..."

(Notice how I have helpfully hyperlinked those for you. SHARE MY PAIN!)

It's just two days till <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-04-14_Virtualization">Virtualization Test Day</a>, where our awesome virtualization team, starring <a href="http://jforbes.livejournal.com/">Justin Forbes</a>, will be our guides as we test the various virtualization features of Fedora 15, including shiny <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SpiceInVirtManager">SPICE support in virt-manager</a>. Virtualization is a key component of any distribution nowadays, and the virtualization team always put on a smoothly run event, so please come along and help us test!

You can also look forward to the Fedora 15 Beta landing, almost certainly, next Tuesday, 2011-04-19. We have the Go/No-Go meeting tomorrow, but it's looking good at the moment. Thanks to the freezes desired by those freedom-hating bastards in <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA">QA</a>, though, it doesn't technically include the Made Of Easy <a href="http://www.gnome3.org/">GNOME 3</a> - mostly it has the final beta, with a few packages updated to final release state. But if you install the Beta and do an update, you'll have all the official release bits of GNOME 3, plus a few post-release fixes (already). Shiny, shiny GNOME 3. F15 is shaping up to be a really exciting release, and I'm really happy with how stable we've managed to keep it so far despite the huge changes that are landing - many thanks to the Anaconda team, the desktop team, and Lennart Poettering for their help and consideration with the release processes.</p></body></html>
