And this is my concern with the Fedora Community today. Rather than assume good intentions and put the best construction on everything, it seems that people actively _want_ to be offended (even when no offence was intended), people _want_ to look for hidden agendas and conspiracies (even when none such exist), people _want_ to find a reason to be argumentative rather than constructive, and, IMHO, people want to be armchair quarterbacks, suggesting how things should be done, rather than actively being the agent that _does_ it. I've never seen anyone, in any office or role, actively set out to destroy the Community, or other individuals' involvement, or ramrod some unspecified corporate agenda down the throats of contributors. I've only seen people _who actually do stuff_ run for office with the best of intentions, only to get tired of the above when _doing stuff_ seems to hack people off at every turn. Maybe that's why so many of our long-standing contributors are finding other ways to spend their time now. And yes, I'm sorry about the whole Fedora EMEA thing. That has been handled, by Red Hat, exceedingly poorly IMO, and there are now a lot of hurt feelings. I wish that hadn't happened. But we'll have to get past that sometime...
