Fedora Summer of Open Hardware and Fun Sweepstakes

Today (at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time), we're launching a sweepstakes
for our Fedora Contributors called the Fedora Summer of Open Hardware
and Fun! We wanted to do something nice to thank our Fedora community
for all that they do for Free Software and Content, and we thought that
giving away a lot of Open Hardware would be a great way to do that.

We're giving away 220 total hardware units, including:
* [50] OLPC XO 1.75 units
* [150] Raspberry Pi (B) units
* [20] Arduino Uno R3 (assembled) units + choice of shield (8 different
shields to choose from)

Unfortunately, we don't have enough hardware to give something to every
Fedora Contributor, so this is a sweepstakes, and sweepstakes come with
all sorts of rules and restrictions.

This sweepstakes is for Fedora Contributors (defined as users in the
Fedora Account System who have signed the FPCA and are in one additional
group). There are some geographic and age restrictions, the reason for
this is that it is extremely costly and time-consuming to determine
whether or not it is possible to run a sweepstakes in a given country.
Sweepstakes laws and regulations vary considerably from country to
country, and many countries have strict registration requirements and
fees associated with running sweepstakes. Other countries simply
prohibit sweepstakes entirely. As a result, we are only offering this
sweepstakes in countries where we know that the sweepstakes is lawful.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Also, please note that Red Hat employees are not allowed to enter the
sweepstakes.
