Fedora Editions, Phase 2

Very positive reviews of Fedora OS in general, and we're starting to see Fedora Server reviewed (while in the prior years Fedora was only positioned in the media as a desktop OS). Working groups are active and building and attracting community contributors. And, we've shipped some different configurations in the different editions, with room for more change in the future as needed.

Objective Lead: Remy DeCausemaker

Timeframe: 2015-2016 academic year
