CIOUpdate 10.4.10 New Fedora Linux Project Leader Building More Than a Distro By Sean Michael Kerner The Red Hat sponsored Fedora Linux community is an open source development effort that includes a diverse set of participants.

In July, Jared Smith took up the position of Fedora Project Leader, replacing the outgoing Paul Frields <http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2010/06/red-hat-names-new-fedora-proje.html>. Among Smith's first jobs is to guide the development and release of the upcoming Fedora 14 <http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/7184/1/> Linux distribution, set for general availability in November. Building the Fedora Linux distribution is one of Smith's key responsibilities as Fedora Project Leader, but it involves more than just pure code.

"As such we have to concentrate on building that community and taking care of the community as much as we take care of the bits and bytes."
