Fedora项目是一份由Red
Hat策划的开放开发项目,它向普通参与者开放并由精英管理者领导,沿着一系列项目目标而前进。Fedora项目的目标是与Linux社区协作,只从开放
源码软件来创建一份完整的、通用的操作系统。其开发过程是以公开论坛的形式进行的。项目将按时间计划,每年作两到三次Fedora的发布,并提供一份公开
的发布日程表。Red
Hat工程组将继续参与Fedora的开发,并且将比以往更多地邀请和鼓励外界的参与。通过采用这样一种更加开放的过程,我们希望能提供一份更加符合自由
软件理念并且对开放源码社区更具吸引力的操作系统。 Jesse Keating has announced the availability of the alpha release of Fedora 10, the first development milestone leading towards the stable distribution release in late October 2008: "In an ongoing effort to prevent premature kitten death, the Fedora Project is ecstatic to present the availability of Fedora 10 (Cambridge) Alpha. Test now, make it better now, keep Cambridge on schedule, and protect the kittens in the future. Some highlights: many improvements, bug fixes, and enhancements from upstream; new graphical boot environment; wireless connection sharing; audio improvements to remove glitches; security audit tool; improved webcam support; better IR remote control support; RPM 4.6; OCaml; Haskell."
