From Hackstop
"Fedora Project, sponsored by Red Hat" - http://fedora.redhat.com
"The Fedora Project is a Red Hat sponsored and community supported open source project. Its goal? The rapid progress of Free and Open Source software and content. Public forums. Open processes. Rapid innovation. Meritocracy and transparency. All in pursuit of the best operating system and platform that Free software can provide." http://fedoraproject.org
"Freedom: What *is* Fedora? ..The operating system is Fedora. It comes out twice a year or so. It's completely Free, and we're committed to keeping it that way. It's the best combination of robust and latest software that exists in the Free software world..
Core Principles
- Fedora is about the rapid progress of Free and Open Source software and content.

Objectives of Fedora
- To create a complete general-purpose operating system built for and by a community — those who not only consume, but also produce for the good of other community members.
- To build the operating system exclusively from free and open source software..
Non-Objectives of Fedora
- Fedora is not interested in having a slow rate of change, but rather to be innovative.
- Fedora is not interested in being a platform for proprietary components.
