Detailed Description

The spin is intended to be based off the live desktop spin. There is not room on a DVD for all of the games in Fedora. The intention is to try to include the best games from various genres and possibly cut a few items from the desktop spin.

Benefit to Fedora

I think a games spin is more likely to get people to try it out than most other spins. As such it makes it a nice candidate for being handed out at events focusing on introducing people to Fedora. While the games are not going to be impressive for hard core gamers, there is a nice variety that is likely to have something of interest for most people. A liveusb based on the spin could be even better as that allows people to play their games on other people's computers while keeping their saved games and high score lists with them.
