Hi Fedora developers,
I recently found your Fedora Games release, which happens to include some games (ex: Wesnoth, FreeCiv, etc) that I enjoy quite a bit.
I am the developer of the turn based strategy game "TripleA", which is also open source. I am interested in getting TripleA included in future releases of your Fedora Games release.
You can find our page here: http://triplea.sourceforge.net/
We are fairly popular, with around 2000 downloads per month through our main site. We are also on Desura: http://www.desura.com/games/triplea
Let me know what, if anything, I need to do get TripleA included. The current Linux version can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/triplea/files/TripleA/1_6_1_4/triplea_1_6_1_...
thx, Chris

Actually just getting it into Fedora would be nice. Once it's there anyone can see it when searching for games in Fedora. If you are interested in packaging it yourself, you can look at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=Pa...
The games spin is really more of a demo. Running a live image off a DVD is pretty slow. It can be used as a portable OS using a USB, but that has limited applicability. Normally if one wants the (mostly) complete set of games installed, one does a yum groupinstall -y games . (You might need to request optional packages if you don't have that set by default.)
The games spin is limited by size and a number of good games can't be included on it. However which games are included does change over time. If TrippleA gets into Fedora, I'll at least consider getting it into the games spin.
