On May 12, I went to a BarCamp at RIT [1] and Saw a presentation on F7
by Luke Macken.
That reminded me of how cool the Re-spin feature on 7 is.
My hope is that we can encourage the community to get creative with
Fedora by giving them an outlet for their work.
To that end, Webpath Technologies has created http://respins.org

The general thought is if somene is only goofing around, there's no
reason to set up downloads or torrents for the ISO. But if we can
created a clearing house, it could bring Fedora to a new level.
So it's not just one guy goofing around but a lot of people working and
sharing their "ideal" Fedora
Since this is an effort of Webpath Technologies and On-Disk.com, the
gathered re-spun ISOs will be listed in the same way Fedora is now -
With a sponsorship built in. Order F7 - send a sponsorship. Order F7RS
- Send a sponsorship.
Features of the Re-Spins.org website:
Users can submit respins they have made and make them available to the
general public via Respins.org to be distributed on On-Disk.com, where
every remaster shipped helps spread Fedora Far and wide via Sponsored
Media.
Not only can they submit respins/remasters, but they can also:
* Create informative homepages for each respin right on the Respins.org
Website.
* Have full use of the Respins.org forums to answer any questions that
users might have.
* Allow others to private message them or contact them via email.
* Contact others, through the Respins.org community connections and
forums, who are also creating Respins for ideas and assistance when
problems arise.
Please keep in mind that the site is a bit "Fresh" and will need a
little spiffing up, and should be in tip-top shape by Thursday's release
(that's the plan anyway)
I hope you enjoy the site.
