Hi Everyone,

In case you missed it before the weekend, last week the Fedora team announced Fedora 6.5.1-RC3 is now available for community feedback and testing. Now we need your help! We need users to kick the tires on the Release Candidate to ensure everything is functioning as expected.

See below for how you can help! Recognizing that we are already in December, we are aiming for a full production release at the start of the new year.
