Yeah, I do that all the time with 108. > The only real bad thing about Launchpad is that it itself is not FOSS. > If Fedora creates an infrastructure to self-create projects and > repositories like Launchpad, we would need to make it 100% FOSS. Same as for 108, except 108 is a Red Hat thing, and we're clear where our ticket is -- clearly in the FLOSS camp. Again, I'm not suggesting 108 for Fedora, as we have cleared that up previously. Everyone jumped up and said they would help code a better solution, and then no one did. So, we're still where we were six months ago, in both the Fedora and the 108 camps. - Karsten - Karsten > Warren Togami > wtogami@xxxxxxxxxx > > _______________________________________________ > fedora-advisory-board mailing list > fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
