That reinforces the idea that the editions aren't merely upstream tech showcases which we are arbitrarily elevating over other possiblities. They're meant to be Fedora-focused marketing tools, in the complete sense of marketing — not just the part about ad copy and swag, but a whole deal where we look at market opportunities and try to build something that will fill them. But, that shouldn't get in the way doing what works best pragmatically at this level. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
