Fedora Netizen is an open source operating system for enabling internet citizens to engage with online services and communities. The goal for Netizen is to pattern the operating system's features after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs] which was published in his 1943 paper, "A Theory of Human Motivation". As a professor of pyschology, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow Abraham Maslow] theorized that individuals attempt to experience five stages of needs starting with physiological, safety, social, esteem, and then ending with self-actualization. Beginning with the first level of physiological needs, individuals' motivational needs ascend upwards to higher levels of needs in order, however, only after establishing lower levels of needs first before ascending to the next level.
Fedora Netizen is an open source operating system for enabling internet citizens, also known as netizens, to engage online services and communities. Fedora Netizen includes software packages for focusing on civic engagement and internet safety features related to cybersecurity and online privacy.  


The philosophy for Netizen closely relates to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs by establishing three primary software package levels in a hierarchical model. The first and lowest software package level addresses the need for Netizen Privacy in the areas of personal privacy, informational privacy, and communication privacy. After Netizen Privacy, the second software package level addresses the need for Netizen Security in the areas of data security, local security, and network security. After Netizen Security, the third software package level addresses the need for Netizen Engagement in the areas of publishing, education, and social engagement.
Nonprofit Organizations and public agencies will benefit from Fedora Netizen by switching to free open source software (FOSS) for running on workstations and laptops. Fedora Netizen empowers netizens with their online activism for changing the world with the help of open source software.
 
Future Netizen software package levels will address analytics, awareness, design, develop, and others.
