You're spot on, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. > In the Composition section it says "All seats are occupied by Fedora > community members." This is correct and this is the language I prefer. > So could we also say that in the blue box at the top of the page > rather than "The Fedora Project Board is made up of a mix of Red Hat > employees and Fedora community contributors?" Actually, I think of Red Hat employees as *part* of the Fedora community, so really it's made up of a mix of Red Hat employees and either a group called "other Fedora community contributors," or called "volunteer contributors." I would lean toward the former, because I would bet there are some people out there who contribute to Fedora in part not as volunteers but paid by some non-Red Hat entity, like a hypothetical employer who pays for someone to spend 15% of his or her time on Fedora. > For the same reasons you give for not liking "Red Hat seats" I object > slightly to the use of "community seats" in the SCHEDULE section. Thanks for catching that -- those instances should read "elected seats." > In the ORDER OF OPERATIONS section it says "We hold back the final > appointment so that we can look ..." which suggests it isn't the FPL > making the decision since that person isn't a "we."
