Can you give us a little more background? Developer Nation is our one-stop developer community resource. This is an intentional direction Red Hat is taking, to provide infrastructure that supports developer collaboration beyond the ad hoc FLOSS projects we put together as we need them. It has different meaning to different people, but I'll ignore all the marketing positioning stuff for here to focus on what it means to FLOSS. Our first mission is to serve developers who use FLOSS but are not active in the communities or otherwise need a central location to learn about and be part of FLOSS. In this job, we are providing a collaboration portal focused on content about FLOSS -- raw materials (blogs, mailing list entries), slightly polished (del.icio.us links, quick Wiki articles), and fully complete (submitted or sought articles, polished content from people.r.c). I expect to see early uptake by: RH developers moving from e.g. people.r.c; RM product and program managers who want to talk directly with developers at ISVs, IHVs, and enterprise IT shops; many of the RH partners, small and large; early adopter developers who hear about it and are looking to increase their knowledge of and visibility within FLOSS; Fedora developers looking for better, faster project and collaboration space; and so forth. Now that I'm close enough to talk about this thing for real, I think I'll take this message as a starting point and do some real blogging about it. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Editor * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Fedora Documentation Project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Learn.
