+
+== Overview ==
+
+Currently the Linux build process is rather tricky and doesn't produce packages which can be redistributed. As part of this process
+the older OEM packages in the source tree will be subsituted with packages that are already available within the distributions
+
+== Motivation ==
+
+Simplifying the build process will make it easier for both Linux users and developers to get involved with the MapGuide project.  Removing the 
+OEM components from the build will drastically reduce both the build time and complexity.
+
+== Proposed Solution ==
+
+Working in a sandbox, a new CMake based build system will be developed. This will include dependency checking and will aim to reduce the number of 
+OEM components required for the build. Some if not all of the OEM components will be substituted with the existing packages available within the normal
+Linux environment.
+
+As part of the CMake build process RPM and Debian style packages will be produced.
+
+== Implications ==
