Mission

The Fedora Mini SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that are interested in Fedora on small devices. Initially aimed at ensuring that the hardware used in devices such as Netbooks and Mobile Inter Devices (MIDs) work out of the box with Fedora. Eventually, we may also include and build a spin which is targeted at these devices through the use of another user interface experience. It could also be used to produce various spins for Gnome Mobile development, Intel's Moblin project, Hildon etc

Current Aims

Stock Fedora working on current Netbook and MID hardware
(F11) A spin of Fedora targeted for some of these smaller devices
A reduction in dependencies to produce a small usable netbook install (Asus eeePC 701 comes with 2Gb Flash)

Devices

Some of the devices include
