We will be attempting to start an organized Fedora sub-project to get LTSP integrated into Fedora proper.
This mailing list will be the focal point of development discussion.
Please refrain from any non-development discussion on this list. This means no more news syndication.
More details forthcoming.

Will this be focusing on the integration of LTSP version 4.2 or the version 5? From what I understand the newest version of 5 is more platform agnostic and will help in future development of LTSP, but that it does not scale well at this point since it is early in its life where the 4.2 version is much more refined.
Thanks, Jim

It would be a dead end to integrate LTSP 4.2 into Fedora.
LTSP 4.2 can remain the proven existing solution published by k12ltsp.org until LTSP 5.0 is refined and fully integrated in Fedora. The latter with time can become the replacement for k12ltsp.org, but until then, existing production users are better served by the proven software.
At the moment however we have trouble with higher priorities within Fedora (like the merge), and we need more volunteers to help with LTSP 5.0 for Fedora if we are to make any progress in the near-term.
Eric Harrison has already did lots of the hacking to get 5.0 working on Fedora, but does not seem to have time to attempt integration of that in Fedora or ask for help from other Fedora contributors. That would be a good place to start if someone wants to help.

I sort of figured that, but thought I'd ask to confirm.

I saw a video clip posted to the k12osn list last week of a meeting between you and the Fedora folks discussing this implementation. I wish you the best of luck and I think this is a great goal to work towards. I don't think I have the knowledge to help out with the integration process (not much of a programmer), but if you guys do get a list of tasks outlined to accomplish the integration please post them to this list and others so those interested in helping can have some direction.
Thanks, Jim Kronebusch
Do you have more information on what eharrison needs to have done? I'm somewhat familiar with LTSP and have more than a passing familiarity with fedora too.
