Would you ask me that to my face? Yes, actually, though it would have had more nuance and you'd have the right to give me a good smack or walk away, both of which are hard here. Seth asked about Chrome and Firefox; I think http://twitter.com/mozillafavs might be instructive- these are tweets that Mozilla employees retweet to the world from screens inside our office. They frequently contain positive comments about Chrome and negative comments about Firefox- complaints about crashes, kudos to our competitors, etc. That's the right response to problems like this- don't say 'ban them!', acknowledge and embrace the competition, and then ask 'why is this happening? what do we do to make ourselves competitive so that this doesn't happen?' While you can argue whether or not Mozilla is doing this effectively, I think it is hard to argue that it isn't a healthier long-term approach than the reflexive whining about Ubuntu that seems (at least to this relative outsider) to have permeated the Fedora culture. [And of course 'any shmuck can add himself to planet and talk about non-fedora things' is a different problem from 'there is a giant logo of our competitors on our planet.' The first is worth worrying and thinking about, but the second... again, not so much.] Luis _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
