!Who Leads?
RedHat will retain editorial control over The Fedora Project but will explicitly include external developers in the process of making technical decisions that align with the project objectives. This is an evolutionary, not revolutionary change; by depending on and contributing to Open Source software since the inception of Red Hat Linux, Red Hat has always shared control over the software with external developers. Red Hat will now more explicitly share control for packaging with external developers in our new project: The Fedora Project.
-The developers who make up the project will create a process for organizing project decision-making. Possible models include Python's Python Enhancement Proposals, Apache's descriptions of project roles, and The GNOME Foundation
. We want to see a policy that promotes meritocracy and allows the project to make hard decisions that need to be made, such as selecting good defaults. The policy should give anyone who makes quality contributions a fair say in project decisions.

What Support is Available?
No formal Web or phone support for The Fedora Project will be available from Red Hat. Red Hat's supported product line will be based in part on The Fedora Project, and our development will be done externally as part of the project as much as possible. Each new release of our supported products will be based in part on a recent release of Fedora Core.

These forums will only be a success if they are community projects — if community members not only ask for help but also provide help in them. There are lots of ways to participate:
* Join the fedora-list@redhat.com mailing list. Ask questions, provide answers. Remember when asking questions to be polite and to include detailed information about your problem. Then, after you post, read the list diligently so that you can respond quickly to requests for more information. The faster you respond, the more likely someone is to want and be able to help you. Once you have received help, keep an eye out for other people who experience the same problem, and help them out in turn.
* Filing bug reports in Red Hat's Bugzilla database. This is not really a support mechanism, but does mean that your bugs are more likely to be fixed. Anyone can help by searching the database and trying to replicate bug reports and put in additional information. Developers can help by posting patches to bug reports.
-* Join with other users on IRC to discuss The Fedora Project. Halfway between a mailing list and a conversation, IRC can be a friendly place to learn or like drinking from the proverbial firehose.
