-[[User:Jspaleta|Jef Spaleta]] wrote<ref>http://jspaleta.livejournal.com/37433.html</ref> his "most important Fedora blog post ever" which revolves around the "NSF sponsored workshop on Sustainable Cyberinfrastructure"<ref>http://cisoftwaresustainability.iu-pti.org/</ref>. The workshop is important "for people who believe in either the function of basic science research as a catalyst for technical and social progress or people who believe strongly in open development methodologies as a catalyst for deeper and more impactful collaborations.  Even more so if you happen to be in the union of those groups and a US citizen and care about how the NSF as a Federal agency goes about funding research and education."

He later responded<ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/why-not-use-a-minimal-distribution/</ref> to a comment about why it makes sense to minimize Fedora as opposed to building a custom minimal distribution. And then he managed<ref>http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/febootstrap-minimal-now-159-mb/</ref> to get the minimal distribution down to 15.9MB.
