Great news, Fedora has invited Sugar Labs and OLPC to participate in FudCon[1] January 2009.
Paul Frields, Fedora project leader, announces the purpose of FUDCon as, "FUDCon is usually meant to bring together Fedora community members to work on initiatives that will impact the next (and possibly future) release of our platform, Fedora 11 at the end of May 2009." By inviting us, that must mean that Fedora considers the initiatives at Sugar Labs and OLPC as having an impact in the future Fedora releases:) I know that I think that the work we are doing at Sugar Labs will have an impact, it is great to see the Fedora thinks so too. Working closely with Fedora will have a number of advantages for both Sugar Labs and OLPC. Fedora and Red Hat have been successful players in the software market for several years. Paul asks that we: 1. Sign up as participants on the FUDon11[1] web page. There will be limited funding available. 2. Get a rough estimate of how many people will be attending for Sugar Labs. 3. Start listing event Ideas on the webpage. Ed is setting up XoCamp to align with FUDCom. We should be hearing more on that later today! thanks david 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11 _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
