To be perfectly honest, I don't know whether to applaud you for the novel idea (in Fedora anyway) of using a telecommunication device to have a high bandwidth conversation to discuss and resolve an issue, or whether to berate you for doing that at the exclusion of the entire rest of the Fedora project. So I'll do both. Good job, next time remember that others also need that information.
