Just to add that the Fedora ARM git repo containing the filesystem stages is here: git.fedorahosted.org/git/arm.git and can be accessed using e.g. authorized ssh if you are in the gitarm FAS group, or anonymously. Note that the *default* branch does not contain the bits you want, you need to switch to the armv7hl branch and those other branches with that as a prefix if you want to see the individual bits various people pushed for example.

So I'll reiterate my invite to anyone interested in actively hacking on Fedora on ARM -- drop us a line @ devel@lists.laptop.org or at the Fedora ARM list.

One of the stepping-stones in the Fedora process was a F14 build for armv5tel, and OLPC will soon be shipping XOs with a F14-based OS.

That's just our initial OS, which unfortunately doesn't make full use of the silicon.

We plan to switch to a subsequent build that targets armv7hl (perhaps F17). Quite a bit of fun hacking will be required before its "children-ready".
