Hello,
The Fedora ports for ARM and MIPS both have a the secondary goal to
enable derivative distributions based on the Fedora package collection
and repository that are more suitably optimized for embedded and
mobile use-cases.
Any efforts we do, could benefit the Mini SIG and vice versa.

Note: I am cross-posting this to the the ARM and MIPS mailinglist, but
please discuss further on the Mini list:

I'll just note these two partially related points:
Debian can install and boot in 32 MB of RAM. This is very useful for
virtualization, since the number of virtual machines you can run is
often a simple function:
total_VMs = total_RAM / RAM_required_by_each_VM
The libguestfs appliance needs to boot up in 5 seconds, and consume
the minimum amount of disk and memory possible. (Currently it boots
in 12 seconds, consumes 70 MB of disk, and up to 500 MB of RAM).
Rich.
