Development will be done - in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of - <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?> about 2-3 times a year, with a public - release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to - participate in building <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?> and will invite - and encourage more outside participation than in past releases. - By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating - system more in line with the ideals of free software and more - appealing to the open source community. - </p> - - <p>Fedora Core is intended to be a logical upgrade path for - previous users of Red Hat Linux whose needs are consistent with - the <a href="/about/objectives.php">objectives</a> of the Fedora - Project. It is a return to Red Hat's roots; 2-3 releases per - year, and freely-available downloads that can be called by name - even when media containing those bits are sold by third parties - (within the constraints of <a href="/about/trademarks/">trademark - guidelines</a>). - </p> - - <p>The community is defined as those who not only consume - but also produce for the good of other community members. - Community users may:</p> - - <ul type="disc"> - <li><p>Participate in development of open source software</p></li> - <li><p>Report bugs</p></li> - <li><p>Test software</p></li> - <li><p>Advocate Open Source, Linux</p></li> - <li><p>Participate in mailing lists</p></li> - <li><p>Experiment with the technology</p></li> - <li><p>Help others in the community</p></li> - <li><p>Educate students</p></li> - </ul> - - <p>Community developers may:</p> +<?php +// +// Easily-changeable template for redirection. +// - <ul type="bullet"> - <li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>Interactively contribute and maintain code - (Red Hat does not consider "throwing code over the wall" - — releasing code but participating neither in maintenance - nor support — to be participation in the community) - </p></li> - <li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>Interactively contribute and maintain documentation - </p></li> - <li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>Translate programs and documentation</p></li> - <li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>Contribute interaction design and usability testing</p></li> - </ul> +//$NEWURL="http://fedora.redhat.com/About"; +$NEWURL="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview"; - <h2><a name="leadership"></a>Who Leads?</h2> - - <p> - Red Hat will retain editorial control over <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; - ?> but will explicitly - include external developers in the process of making technical decisions - that align with the project objectives. This is an evolutionary, not - revolutionary change; by depending on and contributing to Open Source - software since the inception of Red Hat Linux, Red Hat has always shared control over - the software with external developers. Red Hat will now more explicitly - share control for packaging with external developers in our new - project: <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>. - </p> - - <p> - The developers who make up the project will create a process for - organizing project decision-making. Possible models include <a href="http://www.python.org/peps/" target="_top">Python's <code class="citetitle">Python Enhancement - Proposals</code></a>, - <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/roles.html" target="_top">Apache's descriptions of - project roles</a>, and - <a href="http://foundation.gnome.org/documentation.html" target="_top">The GNOME - Foundation</a>. We want to see a policy that - promotes meritocracy and allows the project to make hard decisions that - need to be made, such as selecting good defaults. The policy should give - anyone who makes quality contributions a fair say in project decisions. - </p> - - <h2><a name="support"></a>What Support is Available?</h2> - <p> - No formal Web or phone support for <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?> will be available from - Red Hat. Red Hat's supported product line will be based in part on - <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>, and our - development will be done externally as part of the project as much - as possible. Each new release of our supported products will be based in part on a - recent release of <? print $RELEASE_NAME; ?>. - </p> - - <p> - Red Hat will create, manage, and participate in forums where community - members can support each other. This level of support is opportunistic - — no guarantees, warranties, or Service Level Agreements apply. - </p> - - <p> - These forums will only be a success if they are community projects — - if community members not only ask for help but also provide help in them. - There are lots of ways to participate: - </p> - - <ul> - <li><p>Join the <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_top">fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx</a> mailing list. - Ask questions, provide answers. Remember when asking questions to be - polite and to include detailed information about your problem. Then, - after you post, read the list diligently so that you can respond - quickly to requests for more information. The faster you respond, the - more likely someone is to want and be able to help you. Once you have - received help, keep an eye out for other people who experience the - same problem, and help them out in turn.</p></li> - <li><p>Filing bug reports in Red Hat's - <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/" target="_top">Bugzilla</a> database. - This is not really a support mechanism, but does mean that your bugs - are more likely to be fixed. Anyone can help by searching the - database and trying to replicate bug reports and put in additional - information. Developers can help by posting fixes for reported bugs. - </p></li> - <li><p>Join with other users on - <a href="/participate/communicate/">IRC</a> - to discuss <? print $THE_PROJECT_NAME; ?>. Halfway between a mailing list and a - conversation, IRC can be a friendly place to learn or like - drinking from the proverbial firehose. - </p></li></ul> - -<? - -$template->displayFooter('$Date$'); +include("redirect.inc"); ?> -
