The [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Project] is a [[:fedora:Statistics| community of contributors]] from [http://fedoraproject.org/maps around the world] who work with each other to advance the interests of the free culture movement. The Fedora Project develops and maintains a number of software packages, and is best known for producing the [http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora Fedora linux] distribution.
A number of Seneca students and faculty are involved with the Fedora Project, and many courses in the Seneca [http://scs.senecac.on.ca School of Computer Studies] use the Fedora linux distribution. Students in the [[LUX Program|LUX]] system administration program and the [[SBR600|SBR600 Software Build and Release]] course are active participants in the Fedora community.
