Fedora Project って、何?
Fedora Project は、ソフトウェアコミュニティ参加者の世界的なパートナーシップです。 Fedora Projectは、"Fedora" と呼ばれるLinuxディストリビューションをプロデュースし、オープンソースソフトウェアのコミュニティを構築します。
私たちの任務
Fedora Project's の任務は、共同コミュニティとしての自由でオープンソースなソフトウェアとコンテンツの発展を先導する事です。
Fedoraの任務の要素
この任務の3つの要素は明確です:
- Fedora Project は常に先導をし、後追いをしません。
- Fedora Project は一貫して求めるのは、作成、改善、free/libre なコードとコンテンツを普及させることです。
- Fedora Project は、コミュニティの多くのメンバーの活動の共有によって、成功します。
User base (also known as target audience)
私たちの他の目標の中で、私たちは努力してディストリビューションを作成し、そのディストリビューションは、単に貢献に開かれているだけでなく、幅広いユーザーのニーズに対応しています。幅広いユーザーの共通のニーズを満たすことで、Fedoraは奨励して、フリーソフトウェアの普及、その方法論の理解、およびそのプロセスにおける参加をしています。
私たちのコアバリュー
Fedora Project の中核的な価値、または 基本理念 については、このページで見ることができます。
私たちは強く、当社のオペレーティングシステムのすべてのコンポーネントを作成した岩盤の原則を信じているし、このため私たちは、Fedoraの使用、変更および配布することについては、常に、誰にも、どこでも、自由であることを保証します。
私たちのコミュニティ
Fedora はソフトウェアですが、単なるソフトウェア以上の物です。これは世界中around the worldの貢献者のコミュニティ であり、Red Hat の従業員とボランティアを含んでおり、 フリーカルチャー運動の興味を進展させるためにお互いに働いています。 皆、参加を正体しており、あなたのスキルを心配する必要は無く。私たちはコミュニティ内にあなたの場所を用意してあります! Fedora コミュニティが含むのは、ソフトウェア技術者、アーティスト、システム管理者、webデザイナー、ライター、広報、そして翻訳者です。あなたの参加をお待ちしております。
We believe that all contributors should be excellent to each other. By creating an environment for constructive contribution, we can more effectively and successfully compare and challenge different ideas to find the best solutions for advancement, while building the size, diversity, and strength of our community.
私たちの方法
Fedora はフリーでオープンソースなソフトウェアの革新の中心地であり、貢献者の全ての種類 -- 開発者、ライター、アーティスト、システム管理者、その他のフリーソフトとオープンソースの愛好家 -- が、一緒になって皆の利益のための生態系を前進させるために来ます。Fedora コミュニティは自由でオープンソースな世界に戻って構築するのを貢献し、より広いコミュニティにとって重要な進歩を継続します。他の Linux ディストリビューションへの、定期的かつ迅速な機能の導入によって証明されるように。あなたがどのLinuxディトりビューションをお使いかに関わらず、あなたは Fedora Project 内で開発されたコードに頼っています。
私たちのガバナンス
Like any large community, Fedora provides several leadership components to help identify ways to improve, and to resolve conflicts on technical, organizational, and social levels. The goal for community leadership is to provide the minimum oversight required, and the maximum encouragement to community members to succeed in furthering the Fedora Project's shared goals. For this reason, governance of the community largely comes from the community itself. The Leadership page is a good place to start if you want to read about the primary governance entities in Fedora, and how they work.
Why Is the Fedora Project Different?
We try to always do the right thing, and provide only free and open source software. We will fight to protect and promote solutions that anyone can use and redistribute. To this end, we use only free and open source software to power the Fedora infrastructure itself. With this in mind, all of our developers are focused on working closely with upstream development teams, so everyone can benefit from our work and get access to our changes as soon as possible. Due to the huge amount of innovation that Fedora drives, this focus has had significant and long lasting effects. Some of the recent developments in free and open source software that Fedora has driven include:
The reverse is also true: by Staying_close_to_upstream_projects and development teams, Fedora often gets the latest software before anyone else. Not only does this benefit our community, but it also benefits the upstream teams by providing a much larger audience and more feedback for them.
Another striking difference of Fedora is our goal to empower others to pursue their vision of what a free operating system should be. Fedora now forms the basis for derivative distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the One Laptop Per Child XO, and Creative Commons' Live Content DVDs.
And that's not all. It is just as easy for individuals to create their own distribution, thanks to Fedora's easy remixing tools. These tools allow you to quickly select the packages you want, and create live images for CD/DVD or USB, or installation discs. Some official versions, or what we call "spins," of Fedora have grown up this way, including:
- Fedora Electronic Lab (installable Live DVD)
- Fedora Xfce Spin (installable Live CD)
- Fedora Games Spin (installable Live DVD)
We believe software patents are harmful, a hindrance to innovation in software development, and are inconsistent with the values of free and open source software. While tightly integrating proprietary and patent encumbered components might superficially improve ease of use, this practice does not benefit the community in the long run. The Fedora community prefers approaches that benefit the progress of free software in the future over those that emphasize short term ease of use.

Fedora ディストリビューション って、何?
Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that provides users with access to the latest free and open source software, in a stable, secure and easy to manage form. Fedora is the largest of many free software creations of the Fedora Project. Because of its predominance, the word "Fedora" is often used interchangeably to mean both the Fedora Project and the Fedora operating system.
How do I get the Fedora Distribution?
Easy, just visit this page and download it. You can try it without installing anything on your computer, thanks to our Live images on CD or USB - in fact, you can even create a Live USB stick from within Windows!
If you have a slow internet connection, or no internet connection at all, then you can still get Fedora thanks to our volunteer Free Media program.
Where does it come from?
From a community of people who want to put great free software to work around the world. Got something you want to do with Fedora? Download a copy and try it!
