Fedora now available in Syria

Justin Wheeler writes in FedoraMagazine that Fedora is now available in Syria once again:

Last week, the Fedora Infrastructure Team liftedthe IP range block on IP addresses in Syria. This action restoresdownload access to Fedora Linux deliverables, such as ISOs. It alsorestores access from Syria to Fedora Linux RPM repositories, theFedora Account System, and Fedora build systems. Users can now accessthe various applications and services that make up the FedoraProject. This change follows a recent update to the Fedora ExportControl Policy. Today, anyone connecting to the public Internet fromSyria should once again be able to access Fedora.

[...] Opening the firewall to Syria took seconds. However, months ofconversations and hidden work occurred behind the scenes to make thishappen.
