Fedora Giving Away Mini-PCs Including Raspberry Pi

Fedora has kicked off its Summer of Hardware event which offers over 200 open hardware devices for Fedora contributors in a random drawing. As seen in the teaser above, the giveaway specifically coughs up fifty OLPC 1.75 units, 150 Raspberry Pi units, and 20 Arduino + Shield units. Applications will be accepted until August 15, 2012.

To qualify, participants must have a Fedora Project Account, and must have signed the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement. Participants must also be a member of at least one non-CLA / FPCA Fedora Group, and a legal resident of a participating country/region. Don't meet these requirements? Sorry, no mini-PC for you.

Fedora is an RPM-based, general purpose collection of software including an OS based on the Linux kernel. It's developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. The Fedora Project launched back in late 2003 when Red Hat Linux was discontinued.
