About the Creators
The MythDora project was created in the spring of 2005 by Dennis Hand. It started out as a Fedora 3 distro heavily customized around ivtv & nvidia hardware. After the initial release, Ryan Pisani joined and assisted in feature enhancements and setup tools. Ryan was followed by Jarod Wilson who joined in early 2007 and brought further customizations and enhancements to the project.

Today the project is maintained by Ryan Pisani & Jarod Wilson.

About the Distro
MythDora started out using a mixture of packages provided from multiple 3rd party repos. ATrpms.net was our major package provider, along with livna, dribble, dag and others. This mixture of packages worked very well out of the box, but upgrade ability was quite minimal due to conflicts. The introduction of rpmfusion in 2008 paved the way for MythDora to use a stable repo that provided most of the packages we use in the distro today. MythDora 10.21 is the first of our versions that seamlessly was upgradable from one version of MythTV to the next.

MythDora is now a mature project compared to where we started. We have a solidified feature set, build tools, and a configuration framework that assists us in creating a more stable & upgradable distribution than we could previously.

About our Contributers
Since early 2009 we have been quite fortunate to get the help of some of our followers. We were donated a server to build Mythdora on by djshurik. Beww offered up mirror space, another user Jaime (the radioactiverussian :)) offered up a mirror and so did the guys at dotsrc.org. We also had a fund raiser in 2009 to help us grab some new hardware to test. Thanks to everyone that participated.
