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. In addition, Seneca professor [[User:Chris Tyler|Chris Tyler]] is a Fedora Project board member (F10-F11) and wrote the O'Reilly book ''Fedora Linux: A Complete Guide to Red Hat's Community Distribution''.
