FEDORA
On the heals of the Boston FUDCon, and the end coming near for LinuxWorld Boston 2006, Max Spevack (the chairman of the Fedora Project) has announced that Fedora Foundation will be coming to a close. No no, the elimination of the Fedora Foundation does not mean the end of Fedora, but rather they will be restructuring the Fedora Project to better serve the community's goals. Personally being a strong supporter of Fedora, and after reading through Max Spevack's message, the intentions are clear and it looks as though it should prove mutually beneficial to Fedora users (and the Linux community) as well as Red Hat. The lengthy message does state the various reasons for a Fedora Foundation not being able to reach the initial goals when it was created last year, and the intentions now for the Fedora Project. More information will likely be coming out in the coming days especially with FUDCon taking place. For those of you not making the journey to FUDCon Boston, video feeds will be available -- as well as notable highlights appearing on Phoronix. More information on the Fedora Foundation.
