I've got this email on my desktop I've been writing for a few weeks.  It
goes to fedora-infrastructure-list and it's a proposal to work up a
"Fedora smithy".

Now, my first thoughts were to drag together existing pieces, apply
appropriate glue, and voila! ... something no better than what anyone
else has, but at least 100% free and invented here.  But your points
here inspire me.

O!  The chance to do something truly groundbreaking in open source
project lifecycle workflow!  Something that, as you say, connects
developers, testers, and users directly.  Something more than SCM +
mailing lists + scratch space + caffeine.

For this Fall, we are working on a FUDCon with a technical, hackfest
focus, perhaps with BarCamp-style presentations.  I would like to add
something to that event -- a design thinking session to cook up the next
generation FLOSS lifecycle tool.  Something total greenfield.  Dare I
even say, Fiddler's Green[1] quality?
