FWIW, I think (eventually), moving to an ARMv7 base has a lot of benefit, with not a (lot) of drawback. After all, Fedora ARM is new enough that there isn't a lot of legacy out there (there will always be old ARM boards people want to use, certainly), and all of the boards now being produced are based on Cortex (or similar) designs with v7. There are one or two notable exceptions, but it's obvious where things are headed. It's really just a question of /when/ to switch IMHO. > 4.

Actually, engaging with marketing and design, and websites, and ambassadors, etc. are probably all good things to do too. It'd be great if we had some logos and bumper stickers, and general buzz :) > It's probably worth gathering some data on h/w and experiences as the > beta progresses. Any objections to my creating a wiki page to track > and summarise this? That sounds like a great idea! I'm running Fedora ARM on a bunch of BeagleBoards, and some PandaBoards at the moment. I have a DreamPlug on the way, and a SheevaPlug that may get re-used, but hopefully not before I've convinced myself that ARMv7 is a good base ;) My most fun bit of ARM hardware right now is (still) by collection of empeg car stereos, which alas won't likely run Fedora any time soon, but provide hours of entertainment nonetheless.
