Abstract
Following its launch in 2008 June, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope ( Fermi ) began a sky survey in August. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi in three months produced a deeper and better resolved map of the \gamma-ray sky than any previous space mission. We present here initial results for energies above 100 MeV for the 205 most significant (statistical significance greater than 10\sigma) \gamma-ray sources in these data. These are the best characterized and best localized point-like (i.e., spatially unresolved) \gamma-ray sources in the early mission data.
