=============

The Fedora Join SIG lives here!

Mission:

The purpose here is two fold; First show how things tie into each other, and secondarily to provide some re-enforcement of other docs that can at times be older/or hard to locate and give new-comers and more senior mentor types to hone their skills/refresh ones less often used, respectively.
