+ The project produces time-based releases of Fedora Core

+ available at <ulink
+ url='http://fedora.redhat.com/About/schedule/'/>. The Red Hat
+ engineering team continues to participate in building Fedora Core
+ and invites and encourages more outside participation than was
+ possible in the past. By using this more open process, we hope to
+ provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free
+ software and more appealing to the open source community. For more
