My concern is that you don't want to end up with a potential double standard where a Red Hatter who is paid to work on Fedora "gets away" with something because of their paid job responsibilities. "You can't kick me off this list or out of this piece of the project! It's my job to be here!" It's for that reason that I have always believed and said that the Red Hatters who participate in Fedora (whether they do so 10% of their paid time or 100% of their paid time) have a responsibility to act professionally and courteously at all times, regardless of what is going on. And that should be enforced by their managers, and their performance should (in part) be determined based on how they conduct themselves in public communities. Red Hatters have a responsibility to not put Fedora's leadership into an awkward position. --Max _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
