-Community Building Around Solution Areas  by Thornton Staples
http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/hatcheck/2008/09/03/community-building-around-solution-areas/
Developing community activities around Fedora Commons' priority areas 
is one of our central functions as an organization. We are well 
placed to organize communities for development in a variety of areas, 
especially including development of the core software and application 
development in a variety of solution areas that have a natural 
affinity with Fedora. Other community activities could include such 
things as standards development, issue advocacy or simple information 
sharing in a particular area.
