However, these goals sound like something for a developer organization. Fedora isn't that (anymore?). Fedora is/has become a community of packagers. People who can grab a tarball from the Internet, change some values in a .spec template, issue some commands to get a build through, and call it good. Bugs? Oh that's upstream's problem, go talk to them. Features? Upstream as well, don't look at me. Writing new software? Naaah. Testing? Sure, we can do that, sortof, on some releases. By and large, we're just packagers and testers, with a few exceptions. Perhaps there is a large enough subcommunity of people who are actual code writers who can help with your goals, but mostly our work force would be great at getting whatever software somebody else writes packaged up and into the distro, and some level of testing on it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
