Linux Foundation MeeGo partners: Fedora MIA

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/node/6145

Linux Foundation has recently announced a long list of distributions as
partners to boost their MeeGo effort.  Fedora (and Ubuntu) is not in
that list.  Any idea, why?  We have folks like Peter Robinson and others
very engaged in this sub community of netbook development and "Fedora
Mini" stuff.

I presume that we would have to communicate with them and come to some
form of agreement. I'm not sure what that curtails and I would assume
it would need both board and legal assistance. I'm prepared to assist
from the technical side of things but I have no idea about the rest of
the requirements.

Would you followup on the Fedora Advisory Board on this topic?  If there
is something we can do to drive the process forward, we definitely
should not miss out on that.  We have a better opportunity to
participate now that Meego has switched to a RPM base.

Absolutely. Is there a procedure on the wiki for this, or is it just
an email to the fab mailing list?

Topic is up on FAB, and I answered here:

Further discussion can happen on FAB as we go.
