RHEL is to Fedora as 108 is to open source content and communities. Think of the 108 work like bootstrapping a distro from an existing distro. For example, the OLPC version of Fedora - a carefully chosen set of applications for a specific purpose. 108 is trying to pull together voices from Red Hat, FLOSS communities, partners, and customers. In most cases, these voices (blogs, mailing list posts, social networking metadata, etc.) already exist. Our focus has been therefore on tools that enable editors (active contributors of content) to easily identify content that is useful for 108. For example: http://del.icio.us/108 http://del.icio.us/quaid/108 ... Another purpose that 108 provides is near instant project and collaboration space for Red Hat partners, customers, employees, and FLOSS communities. For example, the new AMQP project is being collaborated on through 108: http://www.redhat.com/solutions/specifications/amqp/ They just haven't opened up amqp.108 for business yet.
