-<h1><a name="about"></a>What is <? print ucwords($THE_PROJECT_NAME); ?>?</h1>
-
-
- <p>
- Red Hat Linux now has two descendents, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- and <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>. <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?> is
- an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general
- participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project
- objectives.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The goal of <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?> is to work with the
- Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating
- system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done
- in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of
- <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?> about 2-3 times a year, with a public
- release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to
- participate in building <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?> and will invite
- and encourage more outside participation than in past releases.
- 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.
- </p>
-
- <p>Fedora Core is intended to be a logical upgrade path for
- previous users of Red Hat Linux whose needs are consistent with
- the <a href="/about/objectives.php">objectives</a> of the Fedora
- Project. It is a return to Red Hat's roots; 2-3 releases per
- year, and freely-available downloads that can be called by name
- even when media containing those bits are sold by third parties
- (within the constraints of <a href="/about/trademarks/">trademark
- guidelines</a>).
- </p>
-
- <p>The community is defined as those who not only consume
- but also produce for the good of other community members.
- Community users may:</p>
-
- <ul type="disc">
- <li><p>Participate in development of open source software</p></li>
- <li><p>Report bugs</p></li>
- <li><p>Test software</p></li>
- <li><p>Advocate Open Source, Linux</p></li>
- <li><p>Participate in mailing lists</p></li>
- <li><p>Experiment with the technology</p></li>
- <li><p>Help others in the community</p></li>
- <li><p>Educate students</p></li>

- (Red Hat does not consider "throwing code over the wall"
- — releasing code but participating neither in maintenance
- nor support — to be participation in the community)

- <h2><a name="leadership"></a>Who Leads?</h2>
-
- <p>
- Red Hat will retain editorial control over <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME;
- ?> but will explicitly
- include external developers in the process of making technical decisions
- that align with the project objectives. This is an evolutionary, not
- revolutionary change; by depending on and contributing to Open Source
- software since the inception of Red Hat Linux, Red Hat has always shared control over
- the software with external developers. Red Hat will now more explicitly
- share control for packaging with external developers in our new
- project: <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The developers who make up the project will create a process for
- organizing project decision-making. Possible models include <a href="http://www.python.org/peps/" target="_top">Python's <code class="citetitle">Python Enhancement
- Proposals</code></a>,
- <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/roles.html" target="_top">Apache's descriptions of
- project roles</a>, and
- <a href="http://foundation.gnome.org/documentation.html" target="_top">The GNOME
- Foundation</a>. We want to see a policy that
- promotes meritocracy and allows the project to make hard decisions that
- need to be made, such as selecting good defaults. The policy should give
- anyone who makes quality contributions a fair say in project decisions.
- </p>
-
- <h2><a name="support"></a>What Support is Available?</h2>
- <p>
- No formal Web or phone support for <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?> will be available from
- Red Hat. Red Hat's supported product line will be based in part on
- <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>, and our
- development will be done externally as part of the project as much
- as possible. Each new release of our supported products will be based in part on a
- recent release of <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Red Hat will create, manage, and participate in forums where community
- members can support each other. This level of support is opportunistic
- — no guarantees, warranties, or Service Level Agreements apply.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- These forums will only be a success if they are community projects —
- if community members not only ask for help but also provide help in them.
- There are lots of ways to participate:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><p>Join the <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_top">fedora-list at redhat.com</a> mailing list.
- Ask questions, provide answers. Remember when asking questions to be
- polite and to include detailed information about your problem. Then,
- after you post, read the list diligently so that you can respond
- quickly to requests for more information. The faster you respond, the
- more likely someone is to want and be able to help you. Once you have
- received help, keep an eye out for other people who experience the
- same problem, and help them out in turn.</p></li>
- <li><p>Filing bug reports in Red Hat's
- <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/" target="_top">Bugzilla</a> database.
- This is not really a support mechanism, but does mean that your bugs
- are more likely to be fixed. Anyone can help by searching the
- database and trying to replicate bug reports and put in additional
- information. Developers can help by posting fixes for reported bugs.
- </p></li>
- <li><p>Join with other users on
- <a href="/participate/communicate/">IRC</a>
- to discuss <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>. Halfway between a mailing list and a
- conversation, IRC can be a friendly place to learn or like
- drinking from the proverbial firehose.
- </p></li></ul>
