To avoid misunderstandings, this repository is about a project at Cornell University named the Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (FEDORA), not a Red Hat one.
Thanks for that explanation. Totally threw me for a minute.
Didn't think about the Linux distro at all because the software was clearly described as otherwise.
It took me far too long to figure this out from their site, but when I did, the project looked far less interesting.
For a while there, I thought the "been in existence for 20+ years and our users represent an engaged, supportive and invested global community of users focused on sustainability and growth" was the Fedora Project extending their expertise in file organization and distribution to other use cases.
But on the bright side, I now have a link I can use to confuse my students with (to keep them out of their comfort zone and promote deep research).
