There's an "organizational" diagram on wikipedia that seems a little fishy to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Project . I'm not up to speed on the finer details of Fedora Project organizational chart, but I believe that diagram is a little... random, especially seeing as apparently the ultimate goal of everything Fedora Project does is RHEL releases. :)
Maybe someone from the project who is familiar with the orgranization cares enough to update the page?
Cheers,

I guess this depends on your point of view. This might make a good RHEL diagram, given that RHEL does come from Fedora. It looks pretty right up until the RHEL part, because RHEL is a part of the RHEL project flow, not necessarily the Fedora project flow. The Fedora project really "ends" at the distribution releases. How those releases are used by various "downstream" distributions is up to those distributions. OLPC comes to mind.

My thoughts...
1) RHEL helps to drive inputs of resource priorities and technology directions. 2) RHEL however as an output is a fork of Fedora. 3) Third party repositories don't really belong on this chart, unless the chart is referring to arbitrary forks. Then there could be two different kinds of forks, distro forks (RHEL, Aurora, etc.) or add-on/replacement repo forks.
In any case, it should be the Fedora Project itself making an official org chart instead of some unknown person posting this kind of thing.

Do you realise that you are talking about wikipedia, right? ;-)

He's a Fedora Arts contributor, unless this is a strange coincidence in choice of nicknames.

Indeed, it was made by me under Rahul's guidance and received a kind of blessing from Max Spevack - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2006-April/msg00178.ht...
In the meantime the structure of the project evolved, but at the time (April 2007) it was accurate.
Be thankful my original attempt, user Jman, did not survive. This was my stab at getting some concept of how the Fedora project relates to things out to the masses. Supposedly a picture is worth a thousand words.
I agree that, if the Fedora project wants to be the authority on such a chart, it should come from the project.
