The sentiment is nice, but I don't think that last hardware give away
went all that well. Also, to get something competent is going to cost
money. I have no idea what the Fedora budget looks like, but frankly
I'd rather use money on something more beneficial than buying hardware
for a bunch of people that aren't already working on ARM. It will
likely have a shiny factor of about 1 week, and then it will sit on
their desk collecting dust.
I agree, not sure what the contribution to the RPi stuff was like but
for the XOs that were given away I'm not aware of a single
contribution to any of the Fedora/OLPC/Sugar projects as a result of
it.
