Fedora taps Zarafa open source groupware for 13
By Paula Rooney

Fedora’s selection of Zarafa as an open source groupware component in 
Fedora 13 is very interesting.

The beta of Fedora 13, code named “Goddard,” was made available on April 
13. The final version is expected in mid May.

Red Hat sponsors the open source Linux project and has toyed with the 
idea of integrating email and calendaring capabilities into its Linux 
stack from time to time. Novell, of course, promotes its own GroupWise 
but also endorses other open source offerings for its Linux distribution.

Looks like the journalist kindly made some edits to the story headline
and content, based on the correction I sent in.  Thanks to the
Marketing team members who gave the heads-up about this yesterday, so
we could get a change in quickly!

I send in a note to the author in private earlier.   The more
interesting question would be,  how do we make the general press aware
of the Fedora process so that they don't equate everything that happens
in the Fedora world as a  Red Hat initiative?  How do we explain the
story behind the features instead of just the technical details as
covered in the feature list?

I think there's a separate thread about this happening on the list
already, about profiling our feature process.  Then we could link to
that prominently from (a) every feature page, and (b) the talking
points.  We could employ a template to make this dead-simple so that
devs wouldn't have to remember to do it manually.
