[[RahulSundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] highlighted [1] the OpenSUSE Community Manager, Joe Brockmeier, in his blog posting posting, "Lessons learned from five years of Fedora".  Brockmeier reflects on building open source community projects, and the success Fedora has had in this regard.  "The most valuable thing I’ve learned watching Fedora is this: Patience. It takes time and steady, incremental growth to build a solid community. If you’d asked me two years into Fedora’s development whether the project would succeed, I’d have been somewhat skeptical, but looking at the project five years down the road, I’m convinced."

== The sweet features of Fedora - Smolt ==
 
The blog "Spread Fedora" offered a short story on Fedora's hardware profiler, Smolt.[1]  "It would be very beautiful and comfortable if there were some GNU/Linux distribution that keep track of used hardware of the users or just could provide information how the particular hardware would perform. I know such a distribution - Fedora. "
