The recent Board discussion highlights that despite efforts to the contrary, there is still a Us vs. Them mentality in Fedora when it comes to the community and Red Hat. Rather than write out a very long and preachy email about why that shouldn't be, I'm going to take a different approach. Below are a series of questions that will hopefully help me get an understanding about why people feel this way. If you care, please answer them. Until we, Red Hat and the community, act as a whole coherent project we are going to continue to stumble in areas we really shouldn't be. So let's clear the air: 1) Are there examples of where Red Hat is stifling growth or limiting exploration of topics in Fedora? Please provide clear examples and evidence of such (mailing list posts, etc). 2) In recent history (past 2 years), has Red Hat done anything you consider to be detrimental to the Fedora project? Please provide clear evidence. 3) If you have concerns about Red Hat's corporate sponsorship of Fedora, what are those? I'm sure there are other questions that can be asked, but these seem to cover most of the concerns I've seen so far. josh _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
