One "easy" to measure item would be to start going toward sponsor diversity. IE, I would feel Fedora would be more a success if we had a more diverse sponsorship. even if i do not think there is something fundamentally wrong with RH, I do not see any negative outcome into having something with more diverse companies helping. (and I think this would increase community participation and so improve free software for everybody ) -- Michael Scherer _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
