From what I can see, it just links back to the fp.o site.
Now, I have a few questions:
1. was RH ever going to ask/consult/tell us about
fedoraproject.org.cn /before/ its inception?
I find this lack of communication not positive
2. Is the content there going to be localised? Last I checked, RH
Beijing was hiring ~80 staff (earlier this year), so how important is
RHEL/Fedora there?
3. Competition from Sun Wah Linux and Red Flag linux (I think they're
now a fedora/chinese spinoff) is rife. Thoughts?
Regards

Hi

Agreed.
2. Is the content there going to be localised? Last I checked, RH

Not many ideas but I will share some information. Miracle Corporation
(Japan) , Red Flag (China) and Haansoft (Korea) have formed
http://asianux.com. Its a Red Hat Enterprise Linux spinoff with a
heavily themed Anaconda and a general Windows like look and feel. These
along with Turbolinux seem to be popular in this region. SCIM input
method ( in rawhide) with a strong native language support should put
Fedora on par

They could start by having the press release localized into English. It
reads as if it was in Chinese first and had an incomplete translation to
English. :)

Now, I have a few questions:
1. was RH ever going to ask/consult/tell us about
fedoraproject.org.cn /before/ its inception?
I find this lack of communication not positive.
I've said this before and I'll say it again:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
The fact is that the Chinese organization runs, as near as I can tell,
completely autonomously. They wanted to have a local mirror, so they
created one. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, to be sure, but
it does the job -- by (a) putting up a local mirror, and (b) linking back
to the authoritative content at fp.o with *every other link*.
2. Is the content there going to be localised? Last I checked, RH
Beijing was hiring ~80 staff (earlier this year), so how important is

We're trying to get in touch with the Chinese folks to understand what
their plans are.
3. Competition from Sun Wah Linux and Red Flag linux (I think
they're
now a fedora/chinese spinoff) is rife. Thoughts?
My first thought is that we need a Chinese CMC.

Heh. Yeah, on a another list ;-)

Speaking of which, while offline (Internet costs $15 for about an hr
here at a cafe!), I came up with:
