As of Fedora 7 Red Hat had relinquished control of Fedora to the community by merging extras and core into one distribution and giving the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) oversight over the whole project. FESCo is somewhat analogous to the GNOME Board. Today it was unanimously approved by FESCo for the OLPC operating system Sugar to become part of the fold.

This means we will be moving from the Red Hat build and CVS servers to the Fedora servers which are open to the community. It also means we will be working within Fedora towards making it more and more flexible for targeted projects such as OLPC.

In the coming weeks I will be rebasing Sugar on Fedora 7 and moving all of our packages over. More information about the OLPC/Fedora partnership is on the Fedora wiki.
