Introduction
The purpose of the current spin is to create a ready-to-go development environment for contributing to educational packages within the Fedora ecosystem.
The next spin release date is July 19, 2009, planned to coincide with POSSE. Because of this date, it will be based on Fedora 11 for stability.
POSSE participants (professors teaching courses in open-source participation during the next school year) will serve as this spin's target user base; more broadly, our target users are professors teaching classes (not necessarily education classes) who want their students to contribute to open-source education efforts as part of their coursework. Note that this does not preclude pre-university learners from using this environment! We are just trying to solve the university-contribution problem first, since that's where we think we will have the most starting leverage.
