=== Contributions to GNOME Desktop Project (Red Hat) ===
=== The 5 most popular Linux distributions ===


[[User:wonderer|Henrik Heigl]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-August/013300.html</ref> a Red Hat press release regarding the Fedora Project's contributions to the GNOME Project:
"...Fedora clearly has its fans. And, if you work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, it's a really wise idea to keep a copy of Fedora on hand so you can see RHEL's future."


"The GNOME project, governed by the GNOME Foundation, was founded over

13 years ago with the goal of creating a free software desktop user
environment for UNIX-type operating systems. Today, the project
constitutes a large body of source code that is used by the free, Red
Hat-sponsored Fedora distribution and the commercially supplied Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, as well as other Linux distributions and platforms. "

===FISL 11: new project leader says that Fedora is the solution (TerraTV - Brazil) ===
=== Why Fedora 18 Will Be The Practical Choice For Vanilla Enthusiasts ===


Kara Schlitz forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-July/013269.html</ref> and Daniel Bruno translated<ref>http://dbruno.fedorapeople.org/docs/fedora_article_fislbr.txt</ref> a posting about Fedora Project leader Jared Smith's comments during his attendance at the Brazilian FISL 11 event:
Arnav Kalra posted <ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2012-August/014486.html</ref>:


"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 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience."


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.
=== Fedora 18 Linux Set To Package Spherical Cow Load of Features ===


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."
"The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year."

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>."
"At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved."
