Fedora directory users - May 2009 - The Fedora Directory Server Project is now "389"

The Fedora Directory Server Project is now called "389".  The details 
are here:

http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/389_Change_FAQ

The new project website is http://port389.org (which is currently just 
an alias for directory.fedoraproject.org)

The new IRC channel is #389

We have created aliases for the mailing lists - so 389-users, 
389-announce, etc.

We''re still in the process of rebranding, re-skinning the web site, 
etc.  In the coming weeks you will see new packages with the 389 branding.

Everything else is the same - the team, our mission, only the name has 
changed.  We apologize if this change is disconcerting to some of you, 
we thank your for your support, and we hope to continue to make the 389 
project a success.

This original netscape code base has a legacy of re branding! Most
times your here about a product called'' X'' and someone starts
a new
code base called Open ''X'', yet this code base seems to endure.
It is a
story to tell your grand children netscape->aol->iplanet->sun
directory server->RedHat->Fedora with forks and branches and
documentation. It seems that just as the documentation and the
variable names are catching up the name changes. :)

389 FTW!
