[wellylug] FW: The Fedora Project

[Klenner, Colin]

This is an alternative to Red Hat Linux End-of-Life, announced by Red Hat.


What is The Fedora Project?


The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open
source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may
eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product
of Red Hat, Inc. 

The goal of  <http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html> The
Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete,
general purpose operating system exclusively from free software. Development
will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases
of  <http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html> Fedora Core
about 2-3 times a year with a public release schedule. The Red Hat
engineering team will continue to participate in the building of Fedora Core
and will invite and encourage more outside participation than was possible
in Red Hat Linux. By using this more open process, we hope to provide an
operating system that uses free software development practices and is more
appealing to the open source community.
