During today's Fedora 22 Final Go/No-Go meeting, the Fedora Linux developers did not approve the launch of the final version of the Fedora 22 Linux distribution, which already got a one week delay from the initial schedule.

The official release date of the Fedora 22 operating system is still May 26 at the moment of writing this blog article, but due to some last minute bugs, it might be delayed for another week or so. The final decision will be taken tomorrow, when the Fedora Linux developers will gather together again for a second sign-off try.

"Today at Fedora 22 Final Go/No-Go meeting it was decided that Fedora 22 Final is No-Go. More details in meeting minutes," says Jaroslav Reznik. "As both bugs we accepted as blocker bugs today are already fixed and RC3 compose is requested, we will try to sign-off the final release tomorrow."

It will be no surprise if Fedora 22 gets delayed, as many of us, Fedora users, are already used to this type of release schedule. What can we do to make sure that Fedora 22 arrives on time? Simple, download the Fedora 22 Release Candidate version and report bugs.

Make sure you bookmark this article, as we will update it tomorrow to let you know if the Fedora 22 Linux is approved for launch on May 26, 2015 or not. Until then, go forth and test!

Update: During the second sign-off meeting that took place on May 22, the Fedora Project approved the release of the Fedora 22 Linux operating system for May 26, 2015, "That’s right — the bits are heading out the door (and onto our mirror network)! Expect the official announcement around 10am US Eastern time Tuesday morning."
