In one of my past roles, Fedora was vitally important to our business. As such, one of my main duties was to spend time on the Fedora project and ensure that it was continuing to go in a direction that was compatible with our business. That's also what spawned Fedora Legacy. In other words, I was a paid Fedora contributor long before I was a Red Hat employee. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
