The exchange and storage of data is moving out onto the web (insert various web 2.0 statements and jargon here) so linux and distributions have to adapt to no longer being the thing people are using. Operating systems are merely conduit to reach the items people want (which is sometimes other people). Fedora will need to change to be more fluid and less bulky to be better customized to each individual user - to serve as a better conduit for that user to reach the people/things/data they want to reach. With each progressive release we've been moving, little by little, further away from the monolithic FEDORA CORE and more toward a lithe, flexible, maleable Fedora Linux. With FC6 the installation will no longer be bound to the single set of packages we consider core but will allow the user to install any set of packages from any of the network-accessible repositories fedora (and potentially others) make available. In the future customizing your own distribution of linux based on your needs should become even easier. > ==================== > > 4) Worst Aspect of Fedora? > (Score:5, Interesting) > by eldavojohn > > On the Fedora Project website, there are plenty of reasons listed for > Fedora to be your operating system of choice. In your eyes, what is the > most lacking aspect of Fedora as it exists today? Contributors other than packagers. Packagers are great, we love them, but we need other folks too. We need more people who want to work on code, work on docs, work on infrastructure, work on art. We need people who want to help organize the aforementioned people, too and then organizers for the organizers. We need people who are willing to work on the minutiae that makes fedora work. "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." ok, well that might be a bit melodramatic but you can get my point. -sv _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
