The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community
to build a complete, general-purpose operating system exclusively
- from open source software. Development is done in a public forum.
- The project produces releases of Fedora approximately 2 times a
- year, with a public release schedule available at
- <a class="ulink" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule" target="_top">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule</a>.
- The Red Hat engineering team continues to participate in building
- Fedora and invites and encourages more outside participation than
- was possible in the past. By using this more open process, we hope
- to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free
- software and more appealing to the open source community. For more
- information, refer to the Fedora Project website at
- <a class="ulink" href="http://fedoraproject.org" target="_top">http://fedoraproject.org</a>.
