Existing Freemedia programs
Before the creation of the Freemedia Trac System the request where distributed by a mailing list and there was a need for coordination efforts. The Fedora Trac System allows us to work more efficiently, the needs for country programs have decreased. There are big groups working that still need to coordinate among them, or countries that handle differently the request. For that reason and as an archive, we keep this list here.
- These are the existing programs around the globe.
- Direct E-Mail Requests addressed to the Program Coordinators will not be accepted.
