Fedora項目是一份由Red Hat策劃的開放開發(fā)項目，它向普通參與者開放并由精英管理者領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，沿著一系列項目目標(biāo)而前進(jìn)。Fedora項目的目標(biāo)是與Linux社區(qū)協(xié)作，只從開放源碼軟件來創(chuàng)建一份完整的、通用的操作系統(tǒng)。其開發(fā)過程是以公開論壇的形式進(jìn)行的。項目將按時間計劃，每年作兩到三次Fedora的發(fā)布，并提供一份公開的發(fā)布日程表。Red Hat工程組將繼續(xù)參與Fedora的開發(fā)，并且將比以往更多地邀請和鼓勵外界的參與。通過采用這樣一種更加開放的過程，我們希望能提供一份更加符合自由軟件理念并且對開放源碼社區(qū)更具吸引力的操作系統(tǒng)。
