I posed a question in the last board meeting that I'll re-pose here: Are we, Fedora, in the business of: - #1 Showcasing all the various free software desktops available - making it easy to switch desktops OR - #2 Building a coherent, usable operating system from selections of the best free software has to offer such that free software can reach a wider audience? I really care very passionately about #2, which is why I do silly things like volunteer with the Girl Scouts and teach them how to use Fedora. To my great dismay I've had people from clubhouse #1 tell me 14-year-old girls have no business using Linux. It's that kind of attitude that makes me feel we have to fight even harder for #2. What's the point of working on free software if it can't help the people who need it? The people who don't know what a DE is and really don't care as they'd rather spend their time writing their resume or creating new songs with Fedora? ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
