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。 Fedora 8 has been released: "Announcing the release of Fedora 8 (Werewolf). This release includes significant new versions of many key components and technologies.
