| ===FISL 11: new project leader says that Fedora is the solution (TerraTV - Brazil) ===

| |
| | |
| "Consider a system that is free and aggregate values such as reliability, soundness, innovation and lightness. What would be the answer? For the new world leader of the Fedora project, Jared Smith, the project he heads is the solution.
| |
| | |
| Fedora is an operating system that works from Linux with the latest technology open source and free software. For Smith, it's more than that. "Imagine a place where you can get everything for free and safe: the tools to build your online life. In simple words and objective, that is the Fedora defined."
| |
| | |
| Talk about "technology that liberates" in a country that do not have access and tools well-distributed, as in the USA, for example, could be an obstacle to the project that engages in global scale. For Smith, however, this is a challenge. "There exists a big diference, of course, that influences the strategies of the project here, in Chile, in Russia. Fedora understands local specificities, behaviors, culture, language and works in each society differently and personalized", he explained in an interview for Terra during the FISL 11.
| |
| | |
| The initiative consists of many people around the world and anyone is welcome to use, modify and distribute Fedora. In Brazil, users can access the site<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/pt</ref>. As Smith says, Fedora doesn't work with the means to reach a final. He is the most advanced stage and users need to perform their active role in this game.
| |
| | |
| Another use of Fedora growing and increasingly consolidated is on the academic world. "There are dozens of universities, including Brazil, using our project because it's more stable, is lighter and hasn't reason to worry about bugs. This, moreover, is the diference of Fedora in the world."
| |
| | |
| For Smith, the importance of the events like FISL is central. The reflection on the collaborative process of the user in the building of a digital world that actually belongs to all is the reason for it's existence. "Events like FISL become relevant the extent that they incite discussion and make people think that absolutely everything they pay to have on the internet, they can get for free", Smith said.
| |
| | |
| The FISL 11 was held in Porto Alegre on PUCRS events centre, until this past Saturday. Terra TV broadcasts lectures live daily from 9am to 9pm. All videos of the FISL can be accessed<ref>http://terratv.terra.com.br/videos/Noticias/Especiais/4882/FISL.htm</ref>." | |

Fedora 13 Review (Digit Magazine - India)
