Fedora Infrastructure as a Classroom
Making releases of free software is no big deal... if you've done it before. If you never have then there are all sorts of details that you might not remember to do or might not know about. In this intro-level hackfest, we'll make a release of the Fedora Account System to show an example of doing this. For people that have never released a piece of free software before, you can take the steps involved home with you as a simple template for releasing your application. For those who want to take an increased role in Fedora Infrastructure Development, you should be able to walk away from this confident that you could make a release of FAS if the need arose.
