I made the original statement, and the intent was not to "be hatin'" - I was just pointing out it was a curious choice of photo considering the amount of publicity pulling Gimp from Ubuntu got in recent weeks. That is all. If it was a picture of Fedora folks and Fedora had *just recently* announced pulling Gimp from default install I would have said the same thing. Similarly, I might make the same comment about a car rental company advertising how safe their fleet is if it had a big picture of a Toyota - because right now Toyota is getting a lot of negative publicity about their safety standards. Fedora has not "refused" to focus as a project - what a provocative thing to say! Have you been following the Board's initiatives lately? Let's not hate on Fedora either. > > We should also probably consider debranding Fedora hosted so it isn't > as distasteful to people looking for a sourceforge alternative. I didn't think we're in the business of being a sourceforge alternative nor do I think we want to be or have the resources to do that. ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
