Hi everyone,

A brief summary and demo from the second Fedora 6 sprint is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmaNF5Mth9U. This demo focuses on the updated migration-utils [1] tool, which now supports basic Fedora 3 to Fedora 6 data conversion based on the Oxford Common File Layout [2]. A more complete video walkthrough of the tool will be available soon, and more information on the sprint and its outcomes can be found in the written summary [3]. If you have a Fedora 3 repository and you are interested in migrating to Fedora 6 when it is available, please test the latest release of migration-utils [4] and let us know whether or not the output meets your expectations by filling out this short feedback form: https://forms.gle/zj8Qy9f2vUbdfBKU6.
