Review - Fedora 11 Preview

What is Fedora?
Fedora is a Linux based operating system that provides users with access to the latest free and open source software, in a stable, secure and easy to manage form. Fedora is the largest of many free software creations of the Fedora Project, a partnership of free software community members from around the globe. Because of its predominance, the word "Fedora" is often used interchangeably to mean both the Fedora Project and the Fedora operating system.

Our Mission
The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.

The three elements of this mission are clear:
The Fedora Project always tries to lead, not follow.
The Fedora Project consistently seeks to create, improve, and spread free/libre code and content.
The Fedora Project succeeds through shared action on the part of many people throughout our community.

Our Method
Fedora is a center for innovation in free and open source software, and creates a community where contributors of all kinds -- developers, documenters, artists, system administrators, and other free software and open source enthusiasts -- come together to advance the ecosystem for the benefit of everybody. The Fedora community contributes everything it builds back to the free and open source world and continues to make advances of significance to the broader community, as evidenced by the regular and rapid incorporation of its features into other Linux distributions. Regardless of which Linux distribution you use, you are relying on code developed within the Fedora Project.
