Pulling the Plug...

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

We were just not ready... that might be the sum of all things we figured out today: When I announced the availability of that, what I called then the unofficial Fedora EDU Spin preview, I didn't even expect, that something like this would happen. It didn't take long for the first e-mails to arrive in my inbox, most of them criticizing the fact that we were using the external KDE-RedHat repository and trying to create a spin for Fedora 9 - all in all: It caused heavy legal / policy concerns, as well as those, related to the general approach. Finally, it had not even been up for one hour, when Rex needed to pull the plug. In my opinion, this threw us somewhat back in our progress - but we are working out a new roadmap, which could include to build a spin on Rawhide and release it later for Fedora 10. I hope all this has not caused any inconveniences, but if it has, I apologize for them. See Rex' blog post here: http://rdieter.livejournal.com/8549.html
