[389-users] Call for Papers for the 4th International Conference on LDAP

With the usual apologies for cross posting Fourth International Conference on LDAP (LDAPCon) will take place in November 18-19 in Paris, France. The International Conference on LDAP is a technical forum for IT professionals interested in LDAP and related topics like directory servers, directory management applications, directory integration, identity and access management, and meta directories. It focuses on implementation and integration of LDAP servers and LDAP-enabled client applications. The event will bring together vendors, developers, active and prospective LDAP practitioners to share their experiences about deployment strategies, service operations, interoperability, discuss LDAP usage in new projects and learn about upcoming trends and developments. The call for papers is out and can be found at: http://ldapcon.org/#cfp Peter (on behalf of the organisers) -- Peter Gietz, CEO DAASI International GmbH Europaplatz 3 D-72072 Tübingen Germany phone: +49 7071 407109-0 fax: +49 7071 407109-9 email: peter.gietz@daasi.de web: www.daasi.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Tübingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 382175 Geschäftsleitung: Peter Gietz -- _______________________________________________ 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new

[Test-Announce] Fedora Linux 45 Final is GO

The Fedora Linux 45 Final RC 1.4 compose is GO and will be shipped live on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. For more information please check the Go/No-Go meeting minutes[1] or log[2], and our schedule[3]. Thank you everyone for contributing to another great Fedora Linux release!

They both remain viable candidates for release tomorrow. There are only two differences from RC-1.3 to RC-1.4: 1. One additional patch in the stratisd series intended to improve things on multi-disk encrypted installs 2. The Cosmic fix from RC-1.2 that was missed in RC-1.3 is back so virtually all results aside from Stratis tests should be transferrable between RC-1.3 and RC-1.4. If you're starting testing now, please use RC-1.4, but if you got RC-1.3 images and are testing already, please go ahead and post your results on the RC-1.3 pages. I'll combine the results as necessary ahead of the go/no-go meeting tomorrow.

Here's what changed since RC2: * KDE 6.8.1 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-21f4914bca * stratisd encryption fixes - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-b0633eb30c * oo7 git snapshot with multiple fixes - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-fd58111611 * dnsconfd installer interference fix - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-2de5da4750 * gedit 51.0 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-56f4138a3d * additional SSL cert removal for eMudhra - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-e57d2527d5 * php security fix - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-a9354b8a1e Also, unfortunately, the cosmic-greeter fix for kmsconvt was *dropped* from RC3 (because the bug was wrongly closed so I missed it in the compose request). So Cosmic will be broken. As we're short on time before go/no-go, please focus testing on the areas above - both verifying the bug fixes and checking there aren't new problems in the changed areas. So, test KDE in general, encrypted stratis installs, and secrets management in GNOME (that's what oo7 does), mainly. Also smoke testing of images is always good. More detailed tests in unchanged areas, like the GNOME desktop tests or Server tests, are a bit lower priority and we can pull results in from RC2 if necessary, they should be valid.
